I've got skills.....

Check out my new skills...I can sit up all by myself! Mommy has been propping me up for awhile and holding my hands so that I could sit up, but over the weekend I did it all by myself. Now I'm so good that I can even balance a little. Balance is key because it means you don't fall over nearly as much. Now my only problem is figuring out how to lay down gracefully. At the moment I just get tired of sitting and then cry- it's either that, or I just fall over. It's a whole new world when you are sitting. I figured out that I have a dog and a cat in my house! I guess I never noticed them before, but now that I can sit, they come and walk by me. They are fascinating creatures! Mommy thought that a picture of my new skill didn't do it justice, so she took a video. Since the camera was rolling, I also decided to shown you my other new skill- blowing raspberries! I do it all the time- even at dinner. Mommy doesn't like it when I do it with a mouth full of oatmeal, but Morgan and I think it's pretty funny.



You can see from the video that I'm getting pretty big! Mommy is still waiting for my teeth to come in. They are taking their sweet time. Luckily, I'm not nearly as fussy anymore. I'm learning new things almost every day. I'm even learning how to feed myself. Mommy takes care of all the spoon feedings, but I learned how to eat puffs! If you aren't sure what a puff is, it's basically a Cheerio with a little bit of flavor on it. Mommy says that they have absolutely no nutritional value at all- but I LOVE PUFFS!

At first I ate them one at a time, but now I eat them by the fist full. Morgan likes to feed me puffs too. She's such a good sister. The dog is much more interested in me now too. I guess she likes puffs too.

Dorothy sleeps with the fishes.

This is Mom checking in, and yes it's true. Dorothy now sleeps with the fishes. Last weekend Morgan was upstairs with Greg and noticed that Dorothy was "stuck" to the fake plant in her fish tank. She ran downstairs and told me Dorothy was sleeping. I took one look at Greg and realized that Dorothy wasn't with us anymore. She lasted a long time if you ask me! I'm sure in the near future there will be a Dorothy 2 taking over the fish tank.

The Bathing Beauties...

It's almost summer time and guess what that means?? It's swim suit season! Mommy took me to get a new bathing suit because it was so warm this past weekend. I got to pick it out at the store. I chose a bright pink two piece! Daddy was not happy with my two piece selection- but I love it! As soon as we brought it home Mommy helped me put it on and I went to play in the sprinkler. Mommy said it was a good thing it was nice outside because she has lots of yard work to do. So while Mommy worked I played with the hose and the sprinkler. I kept trying to spray Mommy with the hose, but for some reason she wouldn't come close to me...I'll have to try harder next time.

Mommy even got Elizabeth a bathing suit! Elizabeth didn't get to play in the sprinkler, but she did lay out on the deck. Mommy made sure she stayed in the shade though. I'd rather run around in the grass- but Elizabeth was happy laying on her blankets in her bikini. Daddy didn't like Elizabeth's bathing suit either. I think he wants his girls to stay all covered up. What fun is that! Mommy said it didn't matter though because we were so cute.



I love summer and I'm glad the season is just beginning. Hopefully we will get to wear our new bathing suits more often! Elizabeth and I hope everyone has a great summer!
