From My Point of View

Dear Friends,
I love to type. When my mom is typing now, I crawl up in her lap so I can, too. I can get just about anywhere I want to these days. I am a charging, crawling maniac. I can pull up on anything or anyone and I'm learning to move along as I do so. Dogs and children fascinate me. I will squeal to get their attention when we are out and about and I will yell and flap my arms at them so that they know I can see them. I also love to crawl up to our front storm door and watch the cars and people pass by. I bang at the pedestrians, and sometimes, they wave to me! I have three bottom teeth and my mom is pretty sure my top ones are coming now because I am a drooling mess again.

Last week, I got to go to Nashville for my mom's sorority convention. Gramps and Gigi came and entertained me for the week. It was great! They gave me all kinds of food my mom is too scared to give to me. I loved the grits! I can eat some things on my own now. I just stuff it right in my mouth - it cracks be up to blow raspberries while I am eating and get food all over my parents! I went to a Chinese acrobats show and LOVED it. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe, and for once, I didn't go after everyone's plates and silverware because I was enthralled in the decorations.

So far this summer, I have been swimming twice. It is great to splash in the water!

My mom has been slow on the blog because she can't be on the computer while I play anymore. I am way too fast to look away from these days! My mom thinks I am so smart because I look for things now. Yesterday, I was pulling the magnets off of the refrigerator and one went underneath. So, I squatted, then laid, down on the floor and tried to reach it underneath. Impressive, huh? No one can snow me over any longer! No hiding the bottles, or unsafe objects, without me noticing! I have been known pitch a big fit if you take something away that I like. Which reminds me that I am back to not liking my car seat anymore. I was okay with it for a while, but now, it is just b-o-r-i-n-g. Unless we are going above 45 mph, I get agitated!

I will have a new picture of me posted by the end of the week, promise!

Love,
DJW
