Gigi and Grandpa came over today, too. They brought us lunch, and we played for the afternoon.
I'm doing all sorts of new tricks lately. I can stand up on furniture, crawl on all fours, cruise around the room, and open and close drawers and cabinets (sometimes on my fingers - that HURTS). I like to pull clothes out of the drawers that I pull open. Daddy and I play legos at bedtime. He builds stuff when I chew on legos, and then I knock down what he builds. Today he built and army of lego robots who were there to protect a giant lego robot and his treasure (a cell phone). But they couldn't keep me away, I'll knock over anything for a cell phone.
I'm also getting really good at my zoomie zoom (that's what mommy calls my walker). Today I got to zoom around the porch. I can go SO fast - but only backwards.
I have a toy fire truck that does some pretty awesome stuff. I can stand up on it and move back and forth. But my FAVORITE part of the fire truck is the bell. It has a rope attached to it, and I LOVE to ding the bell. I could ding it all day!
In the morning when Mommy and Daddy are trying to get ready for work, I like to play in a laundry basket with the Jumbles. They are giant plastic things that look like Jacks. Sometimes I stand up in the laundry basket to tip it over and escape. Then I crawl into the bathroom to bang on the scale, and bang the handles that are on the dresser. Mom and Dad take FOREVER to get ready. I just want to play! Sometimes, if Mommy wants to sleep a little more (because I wake her up 47 times at night), Daddy will take me in the shower with him. I love to try to catch the water and grab at the shampoo bottles. Daddy doesn't get very clean, but he says it's refreshing anyway.
