My 1st Valentine's Day

Today is Valentine's Day and I got a new toy. It's an alligator that scoots across the floor when you press the bird on the alligator's back. I have a lot of fun chasing the alligator. We went to my gymnastics class and then to mall to have a Valentine's lunch as a family.

11 months old

The countdown to my 1st birthday has begun. Mommy has already begun to plan the famous pirate party. She's even going to attempt to make me a pirate cake. In two weeks we are going to Disneyland to celebrate my birthday and mommy's. I can't wait to meet Mickey Mouse. While we're down there we are going to have cake and celebrate with Mommy's family.

Some new things I'm doing are clapping my hands to music and trying to sing. I say "mama" more these days and "done". I know the sign language sign for all done too. Mommy is teaching me other signs as well. I've been pulling myself up and letting go and just this week I stood from sitting on my knees without holding onto anything. I started my new gymnastics class a few weeks ago. My teacher says I'm really strong. Last week I hung from the bars without anyone holding on to me! I was impressive.

Bye- Bye

I've learned to wave bye bye. I just did it one day, no one has been working with me. Mommy left one day and I waved to her as she left. I've been doing it ever since.

Good Times

1) playing with the time out chair 2) trying a sippy cup

3) just being cute 4) Glamma and me when she and uncle J.R.

surprised us with a visit.

Swing

I love to swing! I like to go to the park at Glamma's house where my mommy would play when she was little. Glamma bought me a swing for Christmas for their patio. I like that swing too. I get a little upset when someone stops pushing me.

Sleep positions

I soothe myself to sleep now by listening to my music, watching my glow worm and watching my rainforest light show. Sometimes after I drink my bottle I play in my crib until I get tired. Sometimes I'm so tired I end up in funny positions.

Naked J-bird

I like to play a game with mommy called, " wiggle worm". The rules are when mommy tries to dress me, I wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. I should probably stop doing this because she always gets out the camera to take naked pictures. She has quite a collection to haunt me with if I ever misbehave. I don't see that happening.
