My Faux Hawk!

Hi everybody. Again is has been a long and busy week here at our house. There is still stuff going on in the kitchen which leaves little time for play. The weather here has been kinda nippy, so there hasn't been any playing in the pool... RATS! But I have been signing and talking like a fool! I can sign 'milk' pretty well these days - at least Mummy knows what I'm saying so that's cool. And this week I said:

Cookie, see, up, please.

I'm still standing a lot - but not wanting to do the walking on my own yet. I still like to have Mummy hold my hands. Sometimes I'll walk if she only holds one hand, but I really like to have both of them held. And when I start walking, I don't like to stop for anything -- even dinner!!! Stop me too soon, and I will FLIP OUT! Lots of yelling, shouting, and kicking will ensue! But my favorite thing to do is still to climb on everything that's short. My Elmo chair, my llittle stool, most of my toys. Soon I shall conquer the couch.... Mawaaahaaaaa.....

Bye for now - I love you all!

Whole lotta talkin' going on....

It's been a long time now...and I've missed telling you what's happing with me and my Mum & Dad. We've all been super busy working on the new kitchen. Mummy & Daddy have been working soooo hard that they took the day off yesterday. That meant that we all got to go and have big fun all day long. We went out to breakfast, then off the check out the flea market. I had italian ice for the first time, and I loved it!! I ate about 1/2 of my Mum's it was super yummy!

Listen peeps, I eat tons of stuff now. No more baby food for me - NO THANK YOU! I only want the stuff that Mummy & Daddy are eating, and I want to try it all. I'll eat chicken and pork, but steak gives me some troubles. I love all sorts of other stuff, but my faves are really garlic mashed spuds, PB & J, toast with either jam or nutella, & banana cookies. BUT I eat everything from toast to fish and veggies too. I still have a problem with thin liquids - the whole drinking thing with those can still make me choke a little. But I wolf donw my milk shakes, and I love fruit smoothie drinks. I still take all my calories by mouth and my Mum only uses my tube for some extra water here and there.

I'm getting better and better with my words and signs. I finally am understanding how much easier things go when I tell Mummy or Daddy what I need, so I'm really trying to tell them instead of just grunting or screaching at them. But I still like to call Mummy 'eeeehhhhaaaaaeeeeehhhh', I think she likes it too.... :-) Some of my newest words are:

Kiss, Come, Up, Yup, Yeah, and Elmo. I understand a lot more too, I can find things and bring it to you. And when Mummy askes me to come herer please, I like to scoot on over... sometimes. :-) I have been signing 'more' a lot better now when I want more, and it's kinda fun. Everybody understands what I want, and I usually get it. FANTASTIC!

I move lightning fast now. I zoom-zoom from my room to the living room in no time flat and I play and touch EVERYTHING. I can make a mess of my room in less than 60 seconds... Mum says that's 1 minute. I'm pretty sure I can cut that time down if I really try! I have a huge barrel of Lincoln Logs and I LOVE to spread them all over the room and bring them into the living room too. And I have 9 baskets that organize my toys in the living room which I like to really get into and tear apart too! I LOVE being able to move around so much. ;-) I should be walking on my own soon too - Yippee!!!!

Well, that's it for now. I love you all!
