Man's best friend

I love my Uncle Mark's dog Cujo. He's so big and furry. I'd love to pet him and play with him...

But apparently Cujo doesn't want to play with me...

New boots

What do you think of my new boots?! They're kind of tough to walk in, but they sure look good!

Climbing stairs

Stairs are the coolest thing--besides keys...and cell phones...and cameras...and CDs...and DVDs...and electrical outlets...and drawers...I guess there are a lot of cool things. But I really like climbing the stairs all by myself. When mommy carries me up the stairs, I wiggle around and reach for the ground until she puts me down and lets me crawl up the rest of the way by myself. Now I just need to figure out how to get back down one step at a time instead of rolling down all of them at once like I did the other day. That way isn't so fun.

Kisses

I finally figured out how Mommy does the kissing thing. She's been kissing me since I was born...hundreds of times a day....and now I can do it back. You open your mouth and lean toward the person's cheek and then they put their cheek on your lips. So when mommy tells me to give her a kissy, I do. But I don't like kissing daddy--his cheeks are too scratchy.

Getting ready to run!

I'm taking lots of steps on my own now and most of the time would rather walk than crawl. But when I saw mommy pull out the camera, I got super excited and was rushing to get my hands on it, so I kept falling down after just a few steps. But you get the idea. Oh, mommy also wants to apologize for how dark the video is. This was her first attempt using the regular camera as a video camera and even though she turned on several lights, the lighting was still off. (She hasn't figured out how to upload video from the real video camera yet.) But look really hard and you'll see me!

Now heres daddy's video. He's da man!

Head rest

A couple of weeks ago I started resting my head on things for no particular reason. But then mommy and daddy started saying, "Aaaa," because apparently they think it's cute. So now I rest my head on things all the time to show them how cute I am. I'll rest my head on the TV, the side of the shopping cart, my high chair, the floor, a cupboard door, the side of the bathtub--anything to get a reaction--and I get one every time.

Where's Ty?

I love to play games with Mommy and Daddy. One of my favorite games is one where I hide and Mommy and Daddy have no idea where I am. I'm usually right under their noses behind the couch or at the end of the bed and I hear them calling out, "Where's Ty?" Then I pop up and they both laugh and say, "There he is!" So I bend down again where they can't see me and they ask again, "Where's Ty?" Did they already forget where they just saw me? So I pop up again and they're completely surprised to see me as they shout, "There he is!" This can go on and on. They never catch on that I'm hiding in the same spot. It's so much fun to trick them.


Sometimes I like playing peekaboo with my hands. When I cover my eyes, mommy and daddy can't see me! Then I move my hand and presto! I reappear right before there eyes!
