January 2022

It’s nice to be at home, but there is also a lot to do outside. Maybe I’ll ask Mommy if we can go to the park today.

I know what you are thinking, don’t I already eat eggs? Yes, but no. Until today, I have only eaten egg yolks. There seems to be a higher risk of being allergic to egg whites than egg yolks so babies are given the yolks before the whites. But I have no reactions to egg yolks

Must climb couch. Must climb couch! Why? Because it is there!

This is just me sitting and playing. It is hard to believe that I used to lie down my tummy and play. And even before that I could only lie on my back and play with the things hanging above me from my play mat. I’m so happy that I can sit and do so

Just relaxing against Daddy’s knee.

Mommy was eating a banana as part of her breakfast and when I saw this I immediately shuffled across the floor to her, stood up, and proceeded to steal her banana. I recognized it as something that I not only am able to eat, but like to eat. I easily finished off the rest of

While at home, there are four places where I spend my day: on the floor, on the couch, at the table, in my chair. Naturally, the floor is the most spacious and it is where I do my crawling, playing, and overall exploring. The couch is my new challenge. Sometimes I’m put on the couch,

Daddy was taking a nap on the couch, so I made sure to check up on him a lot by pulling at his blanket and his beard when I could reach it. (Man, these parents sure try take naps whenever they have the opportunity. It must be tough taking care of a baby.) Eventually Daddy

Every week I chat with Grandma and Grandpa and show off how much I’ve grown since the last time they saw me. At first, when I was a newborn, I didn’t do much. Still, they were enthralled by watching me. But they have to admit that I’m much more interesting and entertaining now that I’m

Sometimes when I eat, I get so excited that I can’t control myself. I start slamming my hand on the table demanding more food. I know that it is not good table manners, but what’s a hungry boy to do? Not only did I make demands, but I also made denials. Well, not really. I

I woke up in a good mood and got right to playing. I didn’t know what our plans were for today, but if I’m going to be in my baby carrier again, I want to make use of my freedom while I can.

I had beef for the first time today! Yum! That stuff is good! Very meaty. I’ve noticed that Daddy likes to eat a lot of meaty things like steaks and hamburgers. I can’t wait until I get to try it. Until then, I am happy with all the good food Mommy cooks up for me.

After returning home from our short outing in the city, I enjoyed the freedom of being back at home. I could crawl around, sit up, play with toys and play with Daddy. I could roam around and pull myself up to standing. After all those activities I had the freedom to just sit and relax.

Daddy had to go out today so Mommy and I joined him. It was a short outing, but it was a lot of fun. Mommy and Daddy had lunch in a restaurant, the first time in a long time. I was a good boy and didn’t cause any trouble. When it was time for me

Oops. Something is not right here. Hang on, I think I can work my way out of here.

Now that I have mastered pulling myself up to standing I am targeting new things and realizing that just standing is not enough. I think I have to climb. Either that or I have to grow longer arms. Things are still just out of my reach. Not being able to reach things can be frustrating

Being able to pull myself up to standing has introduced a whole new view of the world. It also has given me so much more to chew on. Before all I could chew on were things that were on the floor or things that were given to me. Now, I can reach up onto the

Now that I know how to pull myself to standing, I can do it really quickly and easily. But in the process, I found that there is a lot to do while on my knees as well. It raises my view just enough to see a lot more of the world around me. So even

I’ve had my two bottom teeth for a few weeks now, but it has always been hard to capture in a photo because usually my tongue is in the way. Not this time. I am not happy, but at least you can see my teeth.
