Happy (belated) Mother's Day

Mommy hasn't posted here for awhile (ok, a long while) because there is something wrong with her camera. Here's a couple of pictures from our Mother's Day Brunch. There is one of me and Mommy and one of me and Grammy! We had a good day and had a yummy breakfast at Hot Brew. Mommy, Grammy, and Grammy's friend, Tina all got roses.


In other news, we took a trip to Redding and I got to have my first experience in the pool. I liked it and floated around in my inflatable turtle. What I DIDN'T like was the dorky hat that Mommy made me wear so I didn't get a sunburn. I think I looked pretty dumb in it. But Mommy thought I looked adorable. The worst part was I couldn't yank it off because it attached under my chin. Mommy is going to try to post pics of that trip but that's where the camera started to have issues. I think it may have gotten wet by the pool.

I also have been learning lots of new things. I like to imitate people and I also am becoming animated. I cough just to see what people do. Normally they stop what they are doing and ask me "how's that terrible cough?". So of course, I cough again, just to show them. I also have learned how to sign "more" in baby sign. It comes in handy when I am eating. Just when everyone thinks I am done I sign it again and the food keeps coming! Now I am working on signing "all done". Although I generally am not "all done" until someone finally stops feeding me. I also have been standing for long periods of time. The other day we counted for 27 seconds! I am not quite sure about taking a step yet though.

Happy Nine Months to Me, Mr. P!

So I am 9 months old today! Big boy! Here are some of the things that I have been up to: I am into everything that I can get to, including drawers, our DVD collection, mommy's shoe collection, and the speakers at Grammy's house! I can't quite figure out why everyone gets so upset when all I want to do is explore! I have also been sleeping better, which means I generally go to bed around 8 or 8:30 and sleep until 4:30 or 5am. Then back down again until 6:30am, which is my usual wake-up time. I love to push my cart around and am very skilled at using only ONE hand! Haven't quite figured out how to turn it yet so I just get mad and start howling when I bump into something. I also recently learned how to clap my hands and wave "bye bye". Well, that's about all for now, I probably need to get back to whatever it was I was doing (which is probably getting into something I shouldn't have been into).
