Trick or Treat! - Thursday, October 30, 2008

Today was my first Halloween! Well, sort of. It's not Halloween yet but Mommy and Daddy's work was having a Halloween party today for all the kids. I dressed up as a penguin and got to see lots of other kids and lots of my aunts and uncles.

Even though I don't get any candy yet, I had a really good time. The best part is, Mommy made my costume for me! Except for the feet, which Daddy made.

Here I Come! - Tuesday, October 20, 2008

Remember that last post I made where I said I had crawled a bit? Well I figured it out completely now!

All I have to do is move my legs! I even figured out how to make it up the stairs!

Growing & Learning - Thursday, October 2, 2008

Two weeks ago I had my 9 month checkup. I weighed 20 pounds and 6.5 ounces. That puts me at about the 50th percentile for weight, but I'm now at 89th percentile for height! But more interestingly, I've been learning all sorts of new tricks. In just the last 10 days, I've started sticking out my tongue, pointing with my index finger, clapping my hands, pulling up to standing, sitting up from tummy-down position, walking while holding on to furniture (well, just a couple steps), and I even crawled a bit today!

Today was also my first day at daycare. I go to the same daycare as Zachary. So far I really like it! The people are nice, and there are lots of toys and other kids to play with.
