Mommy and Daddy have been brushing my teeth for awhile.. I wasn’t so sure about it at first, but now I like to help and do it myself! It’s tons and tons of fun! You should try it too.

I love you!

I’ve been a little busy lately.. doing a whole lot of what you see in the picture above (snoozin’ in the car!!), but also doing a *lot* of other stuff — like crawling as fast as I can anywhere I want to go, getting into lots of places that Mommy and Daddy didn’t even realize were in the house, and also eating more food than anyone thinks I can possibly fit in my mouth!

See, told you!

In any case, I’ve also got another secret that I’ve been keeping, but it’s really really really hard, and Mommy finally said I can tell you! I think the best way to tell you is by showing you the card that I wrote for Daddy a little bit after Father’s Day:

I am so excited! I’ve gotten to see the new baby on monitor things and pictures a few times so far, and the nice doctors say that everything is good. Here’s a picture of Baby agreeing:

See? Thumbs up to all! The doctor says that Baby should be here around March 15.. that seems SO far away though! I can’t wait!

I love you all, and will try to post more pictures!

It’s a lot of fun to crawl over when the dogs are being fed and help my Kitty (Oakley) eat her puppy food! I crawl over and pick up the pieces for her, then hand them to her. I’ve tried eating it myself a few times, but it’s not very tasty. Mom and Dad don’t like it when I eat her food – I don’t get why not! It’s also fun to play with their water; I think I could be a puppy!

I can’t really help Chimo with his food, because it’s gone within about ten seconds of Dad putting it in his bowl.. ah well!

..like BLUEBERRIES! Mommy and daddy blended a bunch of blueberries up for me and froze them, and then they thaw them with my cereal.. it’s good stuff. But now that I have some teeth I can eat whole blueberries! It’s even better that way – they are all fresh and juicy and burst in my mouth when I bite them. I’m not sure if I like the skins as much as the insides, but they are good!

I love you!

Over the last month or so, I’ve started to have *teeth* start to pop through my gums! For a long time, my teeth have been hurting as they come in (that is why I like my teether bear), but only recently have my teeth come in enough to actually be able to use them. Now I get to eat some food that is kind of hard, like blueberries. I still have more teeth coming, which means that I still hurt and want to bite everything in sight for relief — including mommy, daddy, the puppies, and the furniture — but I think it’s worth it because I get to try lots more food!!

I love you!

I’m really really hungry! Will you bring me my food??

Apparently it’s time to eat my cereal. And dad is supposed to feed it to me. Neither of us are very interested..

Chimo might eat it.

Do you like my bottle?
