Applause

A few weeks ago I learned how to clap my hands, and now I just love doing it. I also love standing up, but I haven't quite learned how to do both at the same time!

Summer!

I love summer. Mommy and Daddy take me to the mountains to see the horses and the cows, and I even got to sleep in a tent, which is a place with a slippery floor for sliding on. Plus, I get to spend time outside in my playpen, which is a great place to practice standing up and balancing. Soon I am going to be able to stand up without holding on to anything I bet! For the moment I'm not taking any chances, though.

I have discovered a lot of new toys, like a train that plays music I can dance to, a fish that rolls around, a bunny that I can ride on, and the cap to my water bottle. But my favorite new toy is Mommy's optical mouse.

Of course, sometimes, after a hard day of crawling around, standing up, and doing something that Mommy refers to as "making trouble," it's nice to just sit back and relax.
