I tried lettuce today. It wasn’t raw and leafy like the way Mommy and Daddy eat it. It was boiled, chopped, and mushy, just the way I like my food. That’s actually the only way I can eat any food right now since I have no teeth. It was pretty good. I tend to likeContinue reading “Lettuce”

In the morning, I’m usually very content to just sit with Mommy and Daddy as they eat breakfast, drink coffee, and watch the news. It’s nice to have a relaxing morning, especially when there is a lot planned for the day.

I’m just playing with Mommy and as you can see I’m all smiles!

Mommy and Daddy like to treat themselves to something called “Starbucks” every once in a while. I don’t know what they are drinking, but it sure looks tasty. Especially because of those cups. Very festive. I wonder how I can get one of those.

We put our Christmas tree up! When I say “we”, I mean Mommy and Daddy took turns keeping me away from the tree and all the ornaments while they decorated the tree. I’m sure I’ll have my chance when I’m older. Right now I’m just planning my strategy to get those twinkling lights and shinyContinue reading “Christmas tree”

Even though I’m loving all my solid foods, I still love being nursed. And I still dream about nursing from time to time.

Just checking to see if we have enough diapers. And…yep, that’s enough.

Recently, I’ve been pooping a lot when I’m in my high chair. I don’t know if it is because I’m sitting up so gravity helps, or if it is because I’m eating and have to make room for more food. Whatever the reason, I’ve been pretty regular on my high chair. Mommy and Daddy knowContinue reading “Rudolph the red-nosed pooper”

I still try to get at Daddy’s bedroom slippers whenever I can. Usually I try to grab them when they are just lying on the floor. But I also try to get them when Daddy is still wearing them.

I had some radish leaves today. I can’t say that it is my favorite food. It was a bit on the bitter side. But I still ate all of it.

I am a very observant baby, and that can make things difficult for Mommy and Daddy. I discovered that our padded floor mat is actually interlocking floor mat. You saw how I found the edge of it and managed to chew on it. I also noticed that the top layer is peeling, so I helpedContinue reading “Floor mat tiles”

My sleep training is going well. It has been a week and I have been able to put myself to sleep every night so far. I still start off crying every night, but I manage to calm myself down and put myself to sleep. I’m always asleep within the hour. My best record so farContinue reading “Sleep training update”

There are a lot of things that make me laugh. Fun games do it all the time. Peekaboo and tickling tickle my funny bone. Fun activities and huge smiles do it too. Like I said, there are a lot of things that make me laugh. One of the sure fire things is funny noises pairedContinue reading “Funny mouth popping noises”

Even though I’m a big boy for my age, I am still very little in Daddy’s arms. I’m glad. I don’t want to think of the day when I’ll be too big for him to carry me. I’m sure he also hopes that day never comes. No matter how big I get, I plan toContinue reading “Little boy in Daddy’s arms”

It is getting colder these days. Winter is really creeping in. We have the heater on, but sometimes it just feels more comfy on the couch with a blanket.

I’ve been having more fruit lately. Today I had grapes. They were pretty good. Very sweet! Not tart at all. I think they may be one of my favorite fruits right now, but I think I still prefer my rice and veggies. I think I just like more hearty food.

Even though I still haven’t mastered crawling, I still manage to get around. I either swivel around until I move or push myself around in reverse. It allows me to be up to no good, so it’s good enough for now.

For some reason, without being taught, I drink from my bottle with my pinky up. I don’t know why I do that. I sometimes hold other things the same way. Pinky up just seems to be more delicate and proper. It turns out it is not. I found out that I should not have myContinue reading “Drinking etiquette”
