A musical evening with Daddy

Daddy and I have music time together a few times a week upstairs.  He piles all the pillows in a circle around me so that I can sit up and have a soft landing if I flop.  Tonight, I played with my tambourine and maracas that Grandma Edna gave me while Daddy played his guitar. Empty plastic water bottles are my other favorite noisemakers. Mommy and Daddy love that I'm a little singer too... I like to harmonize when Daddy is playing electric guitar, and Mommy and I sing together all the time during the day!  My favorite song is "Hey Diddle Diddle".  The word "dish" makes me laugh every time!

Disaster at the dinner table

Mommy was so proud of me this evening!  I nursed, then ate half a container of green beans.  Disaster struck when she decided to let me have a little bit of oatmeal.  I got the hiccups, then I choked on a bite of oatmeal.  That made my tummy upset, and I threw up all over myself and the high chair!  That was not a fun clean-up... it took BOTH Mommy and Daddy to get me out of my high chair and into a clean pair of jammies!  I have been on a bottle strike for about three days now.  I don't really have a good reason for it, I just love my Mommy, and like my milk fresh!  So, tonight Mommy decided to let me try drinking from my silver baby cup.  I drank two ounces of milk mixed with cereal from the cup without spilling!  I liked chewing on the edge of the cup.  It helped make my sore gums feel better.  Mommy has decided that the next time she goes shopping for me, she is going to buy me a sippy cup.  I think I will really like it!

Yes Mommy... why did you call my name??

TEETHING!!

Chew, chew, chew!

Giggles in the Jumperoo

Mommy and Daddy often let me jump right before bed to wear myself out.  I was sound asleep about five minutes after this video was taken!

This and that

I teased Mommy and Daddy a few nights ago and slept through the night!!  They were so proud of me.  I've been up every two hours in the couple of nights since then... like I said, I just like to tease them with the idea of a good night's sleep.  In other news, after holding off for several weeks, Mommy finally let me try green beans tonight.  She was fully expecting me to HATE them, because I gagged and cried when she gave me peas a few days ago.  But, I thought they were yummy!  I ate half a container of them mixed with oatmeal, and then polished them off with half a container of prunes.  Delicious! 

No, Mommy does not style my hair...

I'm just blessed with a naturally awesome hairdo!

I don't really care what the book says, I just like to try to tear the pages out...

Or eat them!

A little video clip

Mommy and Daddy let me practice sitting up on their bed, since I have a nice soft landing when I flop.  Oh, and remember I told you that my new favorite game was peek-a-boo?  I played it with Mommy in this video!

Nothing like a romantic dinner for two... I mean, three.

Mommy and Daddy got take-out Thai food for Valentine's Day.  Daddy lit candles and bought Mommy roses and candy.  I gave Daddy a Valentine card.  Mommy let me hold it on our way to Daddy, and I chewed a hole in the corner of the envelope!  I wasn't tired at all when Mommy and Daddy were ready to start dinner, so they had to bring the swing into the kitchen.  I let them get through the main course, but by dessert, I wanted OUT of that thing!  I sat on Daddy's lap and pounded my hands on the table.  I could tell there was something exciting about the day, even though I wasn't quite sure what it was.  I wanted to keep partying, long after Mommy and Daddy were ready to call it a night!  I ended up cuddled in between them in bed, and I woke them up faithfully every two hours all night long.  Happy Valentine's Day!!
