Holy Cow I've blogged a lot today

I thought I should fill everyone in on the new things I'm learning.

Walking: I've been taking more and more steps every day. I'm a little bit hesitant sometimes because I'm tired of falling, but I'm working on it. I like to walk on hard floors better than on carpet, but I'll get there eventually.

Talking: I haven't said any real words yet, but I really like to copy what my Mama and Daddy say. I try to say "Hi" a lot, but it doesn't come out quite right. I also like to scream still, but I'm working on turning it into singing. If Mama or Daddy sing something I like to try to sing it back to them. It's pretty fun.

Pointing: Did you know that pointing is really cool? I point to everything I see, especially if it makes noise or moves. I also like to point to pictures in the books I read with Mama and Daddy. They always tell me what I'm pointing at, so I'll keep learning new words I can't say quite yet.

Eating: I've been finding some pretty tasty things on the floor lately, including paper and wrappers. Mama and Daddy usually take it away before I can swallow it, but sometimes I am faster than they realize.

Musical Inclinations: My new favorite move is to roll my hands like when we sing "The Wheels on the Bus." I'm not quite there yet, but I do my best. I also really like to clap and dance when there's music playing.

That's about it.

My directorial debut

Someone handed me the camera. This is what I created.

My first airplane ride

Last week, Mama, Daddy, and I went all the way down to Florida to visit Daddy's grandparents and my Grandpa Gary and Grandma Vicky. It was quite the eventful trip. First we had to fly on an airplane, which I had never been on before so it was kinda scary. We left really late at night, so I just slept pretty much all the way there. While we were there we did all sorts of things. We rode on a boat over to a really pretty island, but I slept the whole time we were there. Mama and Daddy collected a bunch of shells for me to play with at home. They're really nice, but sand keeps falling out of them so I'm a little bit afraid of them. I played around with everyone a whole lot. They have a really good house for crawling and learning how to walk. They also have a fireplace and had fires going a few times so I got to stare at the fire, which I absolutely love to do. Everyone tells me that it's hot, but I just think it looks pretty. I think my favorite part of the whole trip was going swimming. Here's a video of me showing off my super fantastic swimming skills.



On the way home I decided that I wanted to stay awake for the whole plane ride. I really wanted to walk and crawl around, but there wasn't any room. I ended up just squirming around on Mama and Daddy's laps for the whole five hour flight. They were kind of annoyed, but I had a blast. Overall I think it was a fantastic trip and I am so glad I got meet my great-grandparents. They were really nice and Mama and Daddy say we might go visit them again somewhere called Maine. From what I hear it's colder than Florida.

Mama's going to put up more of my videos and all of my pictures from Florida on my photo website pretty soon, so be sure to check them out there.

I love to swing!
