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.

Just cruisin' along

This weekend we went to the Gers to go for a walk. The best part was the train! I just love the view from the windows. I think taking public transportation is a great way to relax.

My parents just can't believe how quickly I am learning new things. Just last week I learned how to sit up by myself, and then a few days later I learned how to pull myself up to a standing position. It took me an extra few days to learn how to sit down again. I think I'll be walking in no time!

My Toys

I just love my toys! I have so many of them, I don't know what to play with next! Maybe I will eat them instead.

Swimming Pool

We took the train to visit my friend Emile last weekend. That was fun. I got to eat lots of different food with Emile. He is a big boy, and he can move around a lot faster than me. He has a lot of nice toys, too, like a big airplane and an inflatable pool to play with in the backyard!

Ravioli!

Yum!

My Ball

I have a new toy. It is called a ball and it rolls around everywhere. I like to throw all of my toys around, but for some reason when I throw this one everyone claps!
