Today, Mommy and Daddy got the new bed that they ordered in December. The new mattress isn’t as bouncy as the old one, but it’s very very soft.

When Daddy was watching me and Mommy was upstairs I unzipped the water bottle pocket in Mommy’s diaper bag and pulled out the water bottle and zipped up the compartment again. I’m so clever.

Today was a long day. We took Daddy up to his training class in Columbia this morning and then came home. I was sleepy, so I fell asleep in the car on our way home. Later, Mommy took me to the library for story time. We saw my old friend Jack there, along with his mommy. Then Mommy and I went back to Columbia to the shopping mall where we ate lunch (I eat a lot). Mommy took me to the pet store and I giggled looking at all the cute puppies, birdies, fishies, and guinea pigs. After that, we picked up Daddy from his class and came home. Then Uncle Kyle came to visit. He’s going to be here for a few days.

Wait a minute!! It has come to my attention that this whole shadow thing is something that groundhogs are supposed to do, not babies! Mommy is comparing me to a four-legged rodent and that doesn’t seem very nice.

No storytime.

Whenever we’re at Grandma’s house on a Friday, Mommy takes me over to the children’s bookstore for storytime. This time, Grandma came with us, but there was no storytime! The store was closed, so we went home.

Later, though, I got to see all the ladies from Grandma’s office again and then we went for a walk in the park.

Mommy is taking me up to Grandma Lolo’s house today. We’re going to spend a few days with her while Mommy helps Grandma fix her stereo.

Cruisin’

So I have this crawling thing figured out, and standing is pretty cool too. Now I’m working on moving from place to place on my feet. Of course, I’m still holding onto things like Mommy and Daddy’s stereo cabinet and my exersaucer. I don’t think I’m ready to fly solo quite yet. But soon, man, soon!
