I like to play with laundry! I like it when it is in the basket because I get to pull it all out, even when they are all neatly folded. Today I got to the laundry before it was folded. Daddy helped me get all of it out and my laundry play time ended upContinue reading “Playing with laundry or a fashion show?”

I eat dinner, take a bath, and then usually get nursed before I have my bedtime story and go to bed. But recently I’ve been biting Mommy a lot and a little too hard. Mommy warns me not to hurt her, but I don’t know my own strength. After several warnings I lose my nursingContinue reading “After dinner bottle”

While shopping today, we spotted an aquarium that had a bunch of different fish. Daddy pointed them out to me and I was fascinated by them. I just watched them swim around and around.

I already had my lunch, so when it was time for Mommy and Daddy to eat lunch I waited patiently and just had a drink. I was curious about the food that they got, but I didn’t really try to snatch anything off their plates. I knew that it wasn’t food for me and thatContinue reading “Just a drink”

The more mobile I get, the more there is to see, and the more I’m told not to touch things. Exploring is fun, but there sure are a lot of restrictions.

After a lot of playing and crawling at the park I got pretty hungry. I had my snack there outside like a mini picnic. Everything was fine until I finished my snack and there was no more food to be had.

I enjoyed playing on the grass, but then I ventured over to the bricked area where the benches are. I discovered a bunch of pebbles on the ground. I had fun picking up the pebbles, flicking the pebbles with my fingers, and just studying all the tiny pebbles on the ground. I don’t think I’veContinue reading “Pebbles at the park”

I don’t crawl very much at home. I do my army crawl a lot, and I am really fast when I army crawl so I never really saw a need to crawl on all fours. But today at the park I was crawling on all fours a lot. I just knew that it would beContinue reading “Crawling on grass at the park”

The weather was really nice today so we went to the park again. Daddy blew some bubbles for me again. I enjoyed them a lot more this time, since I wasn’t sleepy like the last time. I thought the floating bubbles were so pretty and very cool!

I like to play with my doggies. They are my good friends. They talk to me, play with me, dance with me, and are just there for me to hug and kiss. And boy do I kiss them. I give them big snout-chomping kisses! It’s just how I show my affection.

Look what I found: food! It was right here in some storage containers. What a happy discovery. But this food isn’t ready to eat. Hmmm, I think I prefer the food that is ready to eat.

I discovered that Mommy’s hairband is very stretchy. And when you stretch it and then let go, it snaps back. Cool! Mommy pretends that it hurts, but I don’t think it does. It just moves really fast.

I think I’m a morning person. I wake up before the sun comes up and rarely ever sleep in. After my morning feeding I am ready to play right away. I am alert and eager to start my day!

I like to help with the laundry. Sometimes I have to make sure they are folded really well so that they will fit in the drawers. A little Mason weight to compress the clothes. Sometimes I have to make sure that the clothes are clean so I do a spot check. Yum! Yes, all clean!

I think curtains are so cool! They are like vertical blankets that you can wave around! I check outside nearly daily to see what the weather is like and while I’m there I’ll play with the curtains a bit. I like to watch them flow gently when I wave them back and forth.

Sometimes I get so sleepy right after I nurse at night. I had my dinner, I had my bath, I nursed, and I had a fun-filled day. Naturally I want to go to sleep. But then I remember that I have my bedtime story. So I fight to stay awake for a few more minutesContinue reading “Bed or book?”

Do you remember when a while back I pulled all those baby wipes out of the pack? Well, instead of just throwing them away, Mommy and Daddy let them dry out and put them in an old empty tissue box so that I had a way to exert all my mischievousness. I actually play withContinue reading “Playing with wipes”

One part of my daily routine is to take nearly everything out of my toy box and not clean up. Yeah, I know I should clean up, but I’m a little too young to understand that concept. Anyway, getting back to my toys. I like to pull out a lot of toys and play withContinue reading “In the toy box”

My friend came over for a play date today. We had a great time! We played together, shared our toys with each other, and exchanged stories. Our mothers exchanged stories too! We all get along really well. My friend and I actually interact with each other quite a bit. Often babies our age only playContinue reading “Play date”
