Summer Blast!
Summertime has come and what a blast I am having!!! Picture one is of me and a couple of my friends hanging out at the park. I could just swing for hours!!! In fact, I made my dad push me for a whole hour one day. We both had lots of fun. Pictures 2 & 3 are of one my trips to the local library with mommy. I love books and this place has more books than you can even imagine. We check out a few and take them home. When it's time to return them, we check out some more. Picture 4 shows how good I am getting at standing. Mommy and daddy are giving me a little more space as I get stronger but they are still close by for those times that I do stumble and fall. Picture 5 shows how observant I am. Daddy was changing the batteries on one of my toys and before he could get them in I had the cover back on and was trying to screw it back together. I had watched how he unscrewed the screw and immediately tried to do it myself.
Picture 6 shows how much I love Mommy's cat. I look for her and call for her every day. I try to give her so many treats throughout the day that mommy and daddy have to cut me off. Picture 7 is me swinging at the park again and having a grand old time. In picture 8, I'm playing in a tent that my grandma bought for me. Everyone just loves to spoil me! Picture 9 is me being just being a cutie patootie. I've got such a personality these days that I can make just about anybody laugh. I can also be quite the stinker too! Daddy took some vacation time in the past month so I got to do a lot of fun things. We went to grandma and grandpa's house for the day. Picture 10 shows me sitting on grandpa's tractor.
We went to Nana and Papa's for a day. Picture 11 shows me swinging with my cousin Logan and distant cousin. Pictures 12-14 show our trip to the zoo. I just love turtles and had to sit on him for a good amount of time. I did not want to leave him. We got to see the polar bears playing. They put on quite a show. Daddy was pretty excited because he says they are usually hiding when he goes to see them. We had a lovely day at the zoo. Hardly anyone was there and the weather could not have been better. My favorite was the Hippo, he really made me chuckle! If you look at pictures 15-18 you will see a progression of me walking on my own. I am getting quite brave and just take off sometimes on my own. Mommy and daddy used to be able to set me at my table to play and walk away and get my meds or feeding ow whatever else. Now if they try that, I might just get up and walk out of my room to look for them. I have still had my share of falls because I am still working on my balance and strength. Mommy and daddy just have to keep using my walking wings for the time being, although they really don't put any tension on the safety straps unless I am falling.
Pictures 19-21 show my potty training efforts. Mommy said I had to post number 21. One day out of nowhere I sat on the potty for daddy but did not go. The next day I sat on the potty and went for mommy. After that I was using the potty multiple times a day. I've lost a little interest in my potty but still go ocassionally.
I love my paints and love to make a mess with them. Things are still pretty clean in picture 22. For a while there I would throw a little bit of a fit when it came time to take a bath. One day daddy hopped in the tub with me to play and now I ask to take multiple baths a day. Picture 23 shows either our first or second bath together. We have lots of fun. I usually win the splashing contest! Picture 24 shows me spalshing my legs in a big pool. Daddy was still on vacation and we took another day trip to Nana and Papa's to hang out with some extended family members. We had lots of fun.
Picture 25 shows my favorite cat once again. We were playing dress up. I'm surprised whe was so cooperative about wearing my hat. She's usually running away from me while I chase after her. The last picture is of me and my caterpillar that daddy brough home for me from Pennsylvania. We had him for a few days, fed him some juicy leaves and he already spun himself a little coccoon. I hope he comes back out to play soon!
I hope you all are having as fun a summer as I am. I hope to see some of you real soon!!!
