Taking Steps!

 Today I took 6 steps!  Of course I was watching Elmo's World and while I was standing there, mommy picked me up and moved me a few feet back.  I was so busy watching, I didn't really pay attention to the fact that mommy had moved me. I stood there kept my balance and then started to walk forward until I got back to the gate in front of the TV!  I did it a few more times,  but only when Daddy wasn't looking.  Every time he came in to see me take my steps, I would stand there, balance and then decide I wanted to sit down. I don't know why I just would,  a few times I didn't even know he was watching. 

I also took a 3 hour nap.  Afterward, daddy and I looked out the window and I pointed out all of the cars I saw to him!  It was so fun, I love that!

 And this people, is what happens when daddy changes my diaper. Yeah,  that's how I felt.

On Tuesdays I Get To Play With My Dear Aunt Shay!!

Every Tuesday mommy goes to work.  When she works my fun Aunt Shayla comes and plays with me all day and we have a blast.   Today when aunt Shay came in the door,  I realized that mommy was going to leave and it made me SO sad.  I started crying and holding on to mommy's leg.  I didn't want her to go,  I just needed her to stay.  So I did the best I could to keep her at home.  I  cried hysterically,  I held on to her leg, I had her pick me up and give me big hugs.  I was so sad and a little successful.  She stayed for and extra 15 minutes longer and hugged me.  Daddy wasn't working at that moment so mommy gave me to him and we looked out the window at the cars and houses.  I love looking out the window pointing and saying "car"(or "da" as I pronounce it) it makes me happy.  After daddy and I looked at the cars, mommy went to work and I took a nap.  I was so tired.  When I woke up,  Shayla came and picked me up out of my crib.   I was so happy to play with her for the rest of the day.  It was a blast!  At around 5:00pm  mommy came home.  She walked in the door and I couldn't stop smiling!  She was so happy to be home.  She came in and got me some dinner!!  I LOVE chicken noodle soup, and that is exactly what I ate.  Mommy gave me the bowl and let me eat the noodles and carrots with my fingers.  I ate some,  then tipped the bowl  over onto my tray.  And since the bowl clearly wasn't needed anymore, I threw it on the ground.  Nothing like eating chicken noodle soup with your fingers, on your tray in your highchair.  Well I had so much fun,  and because those noodles are so slippery and hard to hold onto,  I ended up with food all over me.  So my mommy decided it was time for a bath!  I played in the bath with my little fish and my rubber ducky while my mom got me all cleaned up.  Then It was off to bed for me.  I went to bed a very happy baby!
