Movin' & Groovin'

My mom and dad have been arguing over who I got my rhythm from ever since I introduced my moves a few days ago.  Here I am in my car seat jamming out to Fergie on the radio.  Pretty good, huh?  I'm not so sure it was either of my parents who gave me my rhythm.  I've seen them dance.  They really shouldn't.

Mittens Smitten

My mom's friend, Erin (you must check out her blog), has a mom named Sal who is a mitten-knitting machine.  I got lucky, and she sent me a pair of her handmade creations.  Aren't they the coolest?  Spring is here, so I won't need them anymore to keep my hands warm, but they sure do make fantastic teethers!  Nom, nom, nom.  Thank you, Sal!!

Like Father Like Son

When my mom tries to put me down for a nap, I see it as a challenge, so I fight tooth and nail to stay awake.  I think she likes it because it makes her laugh when I wake myself up by swinging my arms around and wiggling around in her arms.  With my dad, on the other hand, there's something about him that makes me want to sleep.  I don't know what it is, but apparently I have that effect on him, too.

Splish Splash

I'm starting to really like bath time.  Now that my motor skills are a little more developed, I can actually play in the water.  I also like splashing water on my mom and dad.  It cracks me up.  Hey, it's not like they couldn't use a bath, too (especially Daddy). 

Who's that gorgeous baby?

Who is that?  Is that me?? 

Hey, I'm pretty cute!  My mom and dad were right all along.  I think I'll just hang out here for a bit and check me out.

Don't even think about it.

I'm not sleeping!  I'm just resting my eyes.  You can see that I'm not sleeping because I'm still holding on to my favorite toy, the Skwish.  OK, fine.  Maybe I am sleeping.  In any case, I like my Skwish because it's easy for me to grasp, and the wooden balls feel great on my gums.  I guess I really, really like my Skwish since I refused to let go of it...even after I fell asleep. 

Crib? What crib?

Check me out in the big bed.  My crib is way too small, so I kicked my mom and dad out of their bed so that I can sprawl out.  I like the big bed because I can bounce and roll around on it without cracking my head on crib rails.  I also have a cool trick I like to play on my mom--I get her really tired until she lays down beside me to get me to take a nap, and then she ends up falling asleep with me.  Tandem afternoon naps are the best.
