New News
Hello bloggers,
Just taking a break from the happenin's at daycare to update you on my development. The milestones keep coming in, I am happy to say. I climbed the starirs for the first time last week. I've been admiring Daddy's ability to sprint up and down them for some time now, and last Tuesday I gave them a whirl. Only a few stairs because they're tiring. Then the next day, I clmbed up the whole thing! Momma was behind me, worry-wart that she is, making sure i didn't fall, and Daddy was up at the top cheering my on. I was pretty tired there at the end, but really happy.
I also went on my first ever campaign outing this weekend. Daddy took me door-to-door canvassing for thsi guy named Tim Kaine. Sort of boring though. There were mostly guys who answered the door, so I couldn't turn on the baby charm. Then I got really, really hot and crabby. Then I got the fever and slept most of the rest of the day. That evening, I was feeling better and Mommy and Daddy took me to another baseball game. But I mostly slept on Daddy's shoulder.
My proudest accomplishment is that >>drumroll<< I blew out my diaper! It's been a long time since I've been able to do that, but I managed to save a truckload up and then dumped it all out at once while I was in the Exersaucer at daycare! I even managed to squeeze some out of the diaper and on to the floor! When Mommy came ot pick me up, I heard Miss Rachel tell her, "I've never seen so much poopy in my life." That made me pretty happy. But I have to say, blowing out diapers is not as much fun anymore. It feels icky when you get it on you. And it stinks more now. I try to squirm away from it when I'm having my diaper changed, but Mommy and Daddy don't let me. Yuck.

Many New Firsts
Well, I am happy to report that I've made lots of progress in the last few days -- so get out your developmental growth charts. Here are some of my many milestones in the past month...
CRAWLING - I figured out crawling about three weeks ago and then within a few days grew bored with it and moved onto...
STANDING - Yup. I can stand like the best of them (though not without holding on to something). I guarantee walking and running before the summer is out.
NEW TEETH - I've gotten my upper two teeth in and even have the two on the side coming in too! And guess what!? They're pointed! I'm so excited. I was showing my budding canines to Shaky the other day, and he was very impressed -- until I chewed on his tail. Sorry, I can't help it. My gums itch.
LONG HAIR - Perhaps you've seen my new longer hair look in my recent bath pictures. I know it isn't much, but hey, I started out practically bald so be patient. I was watching this video the other day of a guy named Ted Nugent. I want hair like that!
NEW WORDS - I can say lots of things like "da-da-da-da" and "ah-da-da-da" or "de-da-da." Okay, so they're just variations of the same thing. But I'm working on it. I can still say more than Shaky. All he says is "roar, "roar," "roar." How boring is that!?
Along with my new skills, I've also gotten to do many new things for the first time...
FIRST TIME ON A BOAT - It was okay. I hated the llife vest and fell asleep when we were cruising around the lake. I have to admit, I don't understand the big deal.
FIRST TIME EATING CAKE - Cake rocks! I love it!
FIRST TIME SWIMMING IN A LAKE - Sort of like swimming in my pool, only I can't feel the bottom and it's very, very cold. And I have to confess -- I pee-ed in the water. Heh, heh!
FIRST TIME IN A SWING (A REAL SWING, NOT ONE OF THOSE SISSY BABY SWINGS) - Swings are cool. I could swing all day!
FIRST TIME DRIVING A CAR - Cars are cool. I could drive all day! (Yes, children these days DO grow up fast).
FIRST TIME EATING SCRAMBLED EGGS, CRACKERS, FRENCH TOAST, BACON, BREAKFAST SAUSAGE, AND PANCAKES - Scrambled eggs rock! Crackers rock! French toast rocks! Bacon rocks! Breakfast sausage rocks! Pancakes rock! Who am I kidding -- I love food! Can you tell?
On the other hand, new firsts come with new anxieties. Here are just a few I am working through...
STRANGER ANXIETY - I like people, I really do. I just don't like it when people I don't know or don't remember hold me. Then I cry. I much prefer watching strangers from the safe vantage point of Momma or Daddy's arms. If I like 'em, I might even smile at them.
SEPARATION ANXIETY - It really makes me upset to see Mommy or Daddy leave. They always come back, but for some reason, whenever they disappear, I feel like crying -- and I usually give in to those feelings. At home, I cry when they leave the room and I try to follow them wherever they go. And I cry when they leave me in daycare. Then I'm okay. I sometimes do it to give Momma and Daddy anxiety about leaving me. No sense in being the only one with a neurosis.
ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER - I'm very distractable right now. I live looking around at all sorts of things. Daddy sometimes chastizes me because he says it makes it difficult to feed me. I also flit from toy to toy. So many cool things to see, so little time. And the, there's the hyperactivity. I don't think I'm really hyperactive -- that's just what Lola nad P-Paw say. They tell me I wear them out, but I think that's just because they're not use to being around babies.
SLEEP DISORDER - I hate to sleep so I absolutely refuse to, even when I'm tired. Why sleep when there's so many cool things to see and do? The only downside is that I end up crabby, and Mommy gives me the "I told you so" look. But I hear from Lola that she was the exact same way when she was a baby.
I don't know why I do these things. I just do. Pup-Pup says they are perfectly normal, and that all babies go through them, even Daddy did. Hopefully, I'll get over these issues before my doctor decides to put me on Paxil or something like that. You know how those doctors are (right, Uncle Ed?)

Trying cake for the first time
Obviously, I don't care for cake at all. I much prefer broccoli. Just kidding!

I'm hot, I look ridiculous, I hate hats, and I hate lifevests.
Just for the record, I have never been so annoyed in my life.

Mommy and Daddy's Vacation Pictures
Blog fans,
I am taking a break from my usual routine and posting some pictures that Mommy and Daddy took on their trip to Santorini, Greece, and Istanbul, Turkey. They wanted to share the pictures with family and friends, but apparently aren't as technologically savvy as yours truly. Since they don't know how to post blogs, I thought I'd do them a favor and post the pictures myself.
Not to disappoint you, but I'm not in any of these pictures. I was vacationing in a more exotic location -- Tennessee, with Jo-Jo Dancer and D-Dawg, and then Lola and P-Paw.
