Crazy-time

Hiya, folks! It's been crazy-time around here, and I have so much to tell you.

My verbal skills have really advanced in the last couple of weeks. I have strung two words together "eat eggs" and "Hi Papa", and I have started saying two-syllable words: "punkin" (pumpkin), "sireal" (cereal).

I think my creative side is coming out too. I like nursery rhymes (Pattycake and "row, row, row your boat", "itsy-bitsy spider") and will specifically order the grownups to sing them over and over. I'll even help out a little, but I only know "row, row", not the other words.

I also dance if there are some good tunes being played. Specifically I like "Crocodile Rock". You ask how I Dance if I'm not walking yet? Easy - I just lean forward and support myself with my hands. This deserves a video, but I stop dancing if I see the paparazzi.


Also on the creative side, I've decided that my toys get hungry, so I try to feed them. This gets messy if I'm holding a plush dolphin while eating soup!

Grandpa and Farmor are visiting. They're fun. I like showing off my skills, and Grandpa thinks that just about everything I do is funny, so he laughs and that makes me laugh too. All that fun (and some late-night snacks) gets me so wired that I've been staying up late lately. They brought me a couple of new toy caas! (cars) that are my favorites right now.

I'm so close to walking that the adults think it's just a question of distracting me so that I forget to sit down. They've tried suspending my new car in the air just beyond my reach, but I'm not going to be fooled by that trick - I'll walk when I'm ready.

And finally, I got another haircut today - the beach bum look was so "Summer". Which reminds me - it's snowing, so maybe tomorrow I get to play in the snow.

Until next time.

Love, D.
