You Learn Something New Everyday

Wow it is amazing how much I am learning everyday, even when I am not in school. Last night while mom and dad were eating dinner, I got a little bored sitting in my high chair eating crakers and mom and dad let me crawl around on the floor. I kept finding all sorts of cracker pieces that I had dropped and thought it was really cool that I could turn one piece of cracker into three just by squeezing it in my hand. I had a piece of cracker in each hand and was feeling pretty good about life when I noticed a third piece of cracker a few inches away. I crawled over to it (both hands still full with crackers) but couldn't figure out how I could get it since both hands were full. I sat there for a minute staring at the cracker when it hit me... I could just use my mouth. So that's what I did, I ate that cracker right off the floor, who needs hands anyway?

Countdown to turkey day has begun. Just over a week until I get to eat lots of turkey and mashed potatoes and green beans and of course some pumpkin pie. I've never had a thanksgiving before, but I sure think all the food sounds yummy.

I have a lot of things to be thankful for. All of my grandparents, my great-grandma, my aunts and uncles, my cousins, and of course my mom and dad. I am also thankful for my buddies at school, I have lots of fun with them. My teacher says that I have a partner in crime. I'm not too sure what that means, but we have lots of fun together. During lunch time my teacher sits me next to the boys because sometimes the other girls don't like it when I try to play with them while they eat.

I am also thankful for my kitty. Even though he doesn't really like me to pet him (mom says I'm pulling his hair) we have lots of fun peeking through the kitty door at each other. Man I can't wait until I can move a little faster and catch him.

I have lots more that I am thankful for, but mom limits me to five minutes a day on the internet.

Love you all!

I am so happy today. I've figured out this great thing called clapping, its amazing. I clapped almost all day long. Daddy had a hard time getting me to eat my dinner because all I wanted to do was clap.

I'm trying so hard to walk. Mom and Dad get all excited every time I stand up by myself. They don't know I do it every time they turn around.

I tried some new food at dinner. Momma made homemade mac and cheese and let me have a few bites, it was yummy, but I still like Cheerios the best.

Mom and Dad also taught me a great new trick today... how to climb up the stairs all by myself. They stand behind me all the way up though, something scary must happen if I slip. I was so happy when I got to the top, I could get to my bedroom and all my cool stuff.
