Sometimes it is very easy for me to reach things on the table. They are right there for me to grab. These are usually my things that Mommy and Daddy place in front of me to distract me from their stuff. But I want their stuff. I get very focused and determined to reach their
Things on the higher shelves, you are now no longer out of my reach. I’m a standing boy and now you are mine!
It is fun to stand and play with things that I find on the coffee table, but it can also be painful. I was playing with a drink bottle that was obviously not for me and then I accidentally dropped it. It landed cap down right on my toes. Man, did it hurt! I’m a
I found a lot of things to play with today. I spent a lot of time playing with my little barn that came in my PandaCrate. It is really cute. I can on turn, flip, and slide barn doors open to see animals. Fascinating! I also found some sunlight to play with. Although, it ended
I almost got it. I know what I have to do to climb up on the couch, but I haven’t quite gotten there yet. I am very determined. Granted, I only learned to pull myself up to standing a couple of weeks ago, but I really want to start climbing. I feel there are so
I know I’m a big boy, but I never really thought of myself as a trim boy. I’m not overweight, but I do have a belly and some pretty stout legs and arms. But looking at myself like this, I think I look pretty trim. Not to mention long!
Just the other day I loved the praying mantis song. Daddy showed it to me for the first time and I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I was laughing at the praying mantis’s movements and loved the catchy music. But today, not so much. Fickle is the attention of a baby. Who knows,
One of the games that Daddy plays with me is the drop. It is kind of like the drop tower attraction at theme parks. He holds me up high and then drops me down, safely of course. It is a lot of fun and I always love it! But today I wanted to do some
Sometimes when I see Daddy I crawl over to him in a hurry. He usually sits, kneels, or bends down to meet me. From there he either plays with me or picks me up. But I think he wanted to see what would happen if he didn’t meet me on the floor. The answer is
I know where Daddy’s work desk is in relation to my chair. I usually turn left and look around my chair at him and flash him a smile. Today I went for a different approach and twisted right. It did not work out that well. I think I’ll stick to turning left next time.
Paprika, or red bell peppers, are pretty tasty. As are snap peas. Yum and yum!
I have more control of my hands and fingers now, so Mommy and Daddy are having me practice feeding myself more and more. I eat my rice crackers quite well, except for the last bit that gets buried in my hand. Today I practiced with some snap peas and carrots. The skin of the peas
Like everyone else, I have my good days and bad days, good moments and bad moments. This is one of the bad ones. I was just not happy. I didn’t want to play, I didn’t want to read books, I didn’t want to be picked up. I was just not happy. The reason is probably
I had kinako (soybean flour) today. It is not really a “food”, but more like a flavoring. It is used on Japanese sweets like mochi, but is also added to other snack foods. It is a difficult flavor to describe. A bit nutty and a bit fragrant. I had it mixed in with yogurt and
You may have noticed a change with my hair. My hair is getting so long that it gets in my eyes sometimes. I thought about getting a haircut but instead opted for a new hairstyle. I had Daddy tie my hair up in a topknot, like a samurai or sumo wrestler. I think it looks
