A Car Ride!

I got to play in a fun little car at Gramma and Grampa's house. Daddy pushed me around the room and it was really neat to move like I did! I even got to turn the steering wheel!

My First Thanksgiving!

I celebrate my very first Thanksgiving ever yesterday! I think I like Thanksgiving. I got to sleep in, and some yummy breakfast, and then we took a long car ride to go see Gramma and Grampa Wiseman in Kansas City. I slept for some of the trip and was really glad to get out of the car when we got there! I had some of the yummy food and Mommy and Daddy ate. I ate a little bit of turkey, mashed potatoes, and sweet potatoes. I got a lot of food in my hair, too!

I was so tired that I went to sleep really well that night and slept all night long. Mommy and Daddy were really happy about that, I think! I had a pretty Thanksgiving outfit to wear that Mommy got me. She's so good like that!

9 Months Old

I'm 9 months old now! Mommy said that means I've been outside of her tummy for the same amount of time I was inside her tummy. Whatever that means! I really, really like life now. I love to have fun and smile and laugh. Mommy calls me her little cuddle bug because I love to cuddle with her and Daddy, too. Here are some more things I'm doing right now:

•  I weigh 19 pounds and am 28 1/4" tall. Mommy was really surprised that I weight 19 pounds! She said my sister and I are the same length at 9 months, but Lucy weighed 21 pounds when she was my age.
• I can crawl on my hands and knees and get around really fast. I love being able to crawl. Mommy likes to hear my hands slap on the floor when I crawl and she's still so surprised at how fast I get around.
• I love to pull up on everything! Standing is so much fun! I try to stand on my own sometimes but always end up falling over when I do.
• I really like to eat "table food" as Mommy calls it. I've really liked all the baby food I've eaten but now the table food tastes so much better! I love mac and cheese, waffles, chocolate chip muffins, yogurt, and grilled cheese sandwiches to name a few. I like eggies, but the few times I've had one I've gotten a rash on my face. The dr said it was okay, but I bet I won't eat them as much now.
• I love to play peek-a-boo! It's so much fun!
• I learned how to slide down the little steps from our kitchen to our family room. Mommy and Daddy are so impressed with me! And I can crawl up the stairs to my bedroom when Mommy or Daddy is walking behind me. I love to get around!
• I take a 30 minute nap in the morning and about a 1.5-2.5 hour nap in the afternoon, just depending. I sleep from about 8:15pm-7:45am. Once I've fallen asleep, I really like to sleep!

Waking Up

I think the favorite part of my day is when Mommy comes in to wake me up in the morning! I'm always so excited to see her and can't wait to get out of bed so I can give her a hug. She took a picture and video of me the other day when I woke up. I love my Mommy!

My Eight Month Pictures

Mommy took me to have my eight month pictures taken last month and she finally got them back last weekend. I had to share them with you! She says I'm so cute and I agree with her. I love my pink cowboy boots, don't you?!

My New Play Place

I have a new place to play, but I don't get to play there very often. I have to be really sneaky to get to play there. It's fun until Mommy or Daddy says I can't play there anymore. They say that the dishwasher is for washing dishes, not for me to play in. Boo to Mommy and Daddy!

 

My Feeding Helper

Lucy got to feed me lunch the other day! It was fun having her feed me and she did a really good job, too! Thanks for your help, Lucy! I love you!
