2 Steps & Laughter

I have been trying for quite a while and falling down, but last night mommy stood me up and I took two steps toward her. Daddy was watching so I picked the perfect time to display my new skill. I was so proud of myself and just laughed. I took one more step later but this walking thing is actually a lot harder than it looks. I think I'll continue to practice before declaring that I can walk. I'm very proud of myself though.

I have to say that I have been laughing a lot more lately. I've been finding all kinds of new things funny. Of course when my brother says words like "diaper, poop, pooty, pee" I just crack up. Mommy gets mad that I like these words but I just do. Another thing I have discovered is shaking my head like I'm saying "yes". I look like I'm head banging at times but it is a lot of fun. Mommy does it back to me and her hair flies everywhere and I just crack up. And of course being a girlie girl, I'm perfecting my art of crying to get what I want. I poke out my bottom lip, even bring on some tears and boom, bam I get whatever I want! Pretty cool trick, don't you think?

A shout out to my cousin Foster - today is his 1st birthday! That means only 6 weeks and 5 days until mine (we're 7 weeks apart exactly but leap year took away a day).

My First Roll in the Grass

Who would have thought we'd have a lovely Spring weekend here in Georgia in February? Mommy had warned me that February is a totally useless month full of illness and gloom, but I think she might be wrong - well at least she was this weekend. Since I am mobile (did you know I can walk if I hold at least one of your fingers?) I crawled around in the grass for the first time ever yesterday and today. It was a totally new experience and quite fun. I had a great time picking through the grass. I only tried to eat a few leaves, but they didn't taste too good. I have a feeling that I might just get a lot more time outside if the nice weather keeps coming.
