Daddy and I were playing around and then I got a hold of his shirt. It looks like the beginning of a hockey brawl.

When I try to get off the couch I usually go head first. This made Mommy and Daddy worry about how I would handle things like steps when I encountered them. Today I found my way into the entryway and back my self down the step feet first. Mommy and Daddy were happy that I

Another cushion appeared today. Apparently it had been stored away. Mommy and Daddy brought it out of retirement to use to block me from getting to stuff, as well as providing me a comfy place to sit on the floor.

Mommy thought she would get a video of me moving around the table trying to get the remote control. She was wrong. Although I can me very focused and determined, I can also be easily distracted.

No matter how Mommy and Daddy put me down to bed, I always manage to move to the very edge or corner when I sleep. It kind of defeats the purpose of having this nice big crib just for me.

We visited Mommy’s friends today. They were very thoughtful and generous so they offered me some of their three boys’ old clothes. They even tossed in a few books and toys too! They were so kind! They were all very nice to me and made me feel very welcomed in their home. The boys played

I’ve noticed an increase in baby locks around the house. Mommy and Daddy are sure making quite an effort to keep me from opening stuff and getting to stuff. Well, let me take a look at this lock and see if I can break through their security. I’m sure I’ll be opening all the baby

Despite all the barriers and blockers that Mommy created to stop me from getting to Daddy’s game consoles, I broke through and got them. This is probably what I’m going to look like a few years from now when I actually understand how to play video games. For now I’m just going to fake it.

I was playing with Daddy and we made quite a mess. We were playing with a lot of different things. First a had fun pulling some wipes out. Daddy did not want me to do that. Then he made paper balloons for me which ended up all over the place. Then I pulled a bunch

My hair is very long and it often gets in my eyes, which is why I wear it up in a topknot. But Daddy tried to see if we could keep my hair out of my eyes by brushing it a lot more than usual. It seems to have done the trick! Although I don’t

This is Daddy’s new idea to keep me from rolling away when he is trying to change my diaper. It works pretty well! But he won’t put my pants on my head when it is a poopy diaper. It’s not like my pants are dirty. Only my diaper. I guess there might still be some

Yes, the table has turned, and I did the turning. Daddy lent me his lap desk so that I could sit down on the floor and play with my toys on the table. I found a more interesting way to use the table.

I can understand a lot more of what Mommy and Daddy say, especially when it has to do with food. So when they ask if I’m hungry I always answer with a grunt. Or when they say it is meal time I make my way over to my chair or to them to be put

I woke up with a fever today. It hovered around 38°C (100.4°F). Mommy put a cold pack on my back to keep my fever down and then we went to the doctor’s. He confirmed that it was just a cold and gave me some medicine. At my worst, my fever crept up toward 39°C (102.2°F),

This is just a sample of the weird positions I sleep in. I have this whole crib all to myself and I always end up tucked up in the corner. I rarely every sleep lengthwise. Most of the time I sleep with my head touching the edge and my legs bent up against the other

I really like to climb on the couch and then touch the cables and things that are behind them. Apparently this is not allowed, so after telling me multiple times not to touch the cables, Mommy and Daddy decided to try and keep me off the couch completely by putting up cushion blockers. Another place

Just checking in at Daddy while he works and chatting about my day. I know he appreciates these visits and is energized by my conversation, but it must also make it hard to concentrate on work when he knows that he could be playing with me.

I’m 10 months old today! I’m getting really close to turning 1 year old. I feel like the last two milestones for me to reach before turning 1 year old are standing on my own and walking. I’ve already accomplished most of my other first year goals. Obviously I’m doing really well eating solid foods.

Mommy and Daddy picked up their lunch at a bento place on the way back from the park. It was a small place, so Daddy and I waited outside while Mommy waited inside for their food. I was very well behaved and waited patiently. But I had Mommy entertaining me from inside through the window.
