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.

Daddy's Birthday - Monday, September 8, 2008

It was Daddy's birthday so Mommy and I took him to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. I was extra good so that Daddy could watch the otters (he really likes them!).

I really liked the Blue Tangs! Daddy says that there's a movie called "Finding Nemo" and that there's a fish in the movie named Dory that is a Blue Tang, but I don't get to watch movies for another year.

First Haircut! - Saturday, August 30, 2008

Everyone really likes my hair, but it was getting too long and getting in my eyes so Mommy had to cut it.



Don't worry! I still have lots of hair.

First Vacation! - Saturday, August 9, 2008

It was NoNo Ayi's birthday so we got to go to North Carolina and stay at a beach house! This meant that I got to ride on a plane for the first time!



I was very good and didn't cry at all, even though Daddy says babies cry all the time on planes.

The beach was lots of fun, but the ocean scared me a lot! I dipped my feet in the sand and water a bit, but I think I like walking on carpet more!



I also had lots of fun with my cousins, aunts, uncles and grandma and grandpa.




I hope we get to go on lots more trips soon!

I'm legit! - Friday, June 27, 2008

I can officially roll over now, all on my own!



In other news, I had my 6 month checkup today, and I weigh 17 pounds and 7.5 ounces! I also ate bananas for the first time today. What a big day!

I can say Mama! - Sunday, June 8, 2008

Solid Food! - Wednesday, June 18, 2008

I've been eating solid food now for a month! Mommy started me on rice cereal, but I've already moved on to yams, carrots, broccoli, and my favorite: peas!

I am my parents' son, so of course I can eat tons. The other day I had 6 tablespoons of veggies and still drank 30 ounces. I can't wait til Mommy and Daddy take me to Sweet Tomatoes.

Learning to Juggle - Wednesday, June 18, 2008

Mommy taught me a one ball cascade the other day. I thought it was pretty funny.

Sitting Up! - Wednesday, June 18, 2008

I'm finally able to sit up on my own. I think all my time in the Bumbo have made my abs strong! Mommy calls me her little froggy.

I can also stand up (if I have lots of help from Daddy).
