Mommy has been very bad. She is supposed to blog for me everyday but she has been slacking. Aunt Carlee yelled at her over the weekend for being such a bad blogger and I think that's why she decided to update today. Meanwhile, I have been up to so much, I don't even know where to begin!
My 10 month birthday has come and gone. To celebrate, Grace and Ella made me a cake from scratch! I wasn't allowed to eat any but I heard it was delicious. Pretty soon it will be my 11 month birthday and then I will be ONE year old. Can you believe it?? I am getting ancient! I'm very excited for my birthday though because we're going to have a nice little picnic at the house over Memorial Day weekend. I can't wait to eat my first cake and open presents!
The weather is slowly warming up so we have been spending a lot of time outside. I love to go on walks. Well, I don't really walk. I sit in a stroller and Mommy pushes me. I love the change of scenery and the breeze feels so nice blowing through the scarcity of my hair. I never fuss as long as we keep moving, even if I'm tired or hungry so Mommy really likes taking me. Come to think of it, she always seems to want to go on a walk when I start acting up. I'm starting to think that's not a coincidence...
Anyway, this month I taught myself how to pull up to stand. I love to stand! I hate sitting down, I feel so short. I try to pull up on anything and everything - tables, chairs, couches, ottomans, beds, laundry baskets, bathtubs, my crib, the tv stand, the stairs, the safety gates, Mommy, the walls...you catch my drift. I also take a few steps now and again (also known as cruising) but I'm still not very steady on my feet so I don't usually go far. I am also saying a few words and seem to understand a lot. English is a tough language! Today, Mommy was talking to Daddy on the phone and she had him on speakerphone so Ella and I could hear him. When she hung up, I heard him say, "Bye." so I answered him. I said, "Bye Da Da". Mommy was super excited. Then I did it a few more times for Daddy when he came home. They think everything I do is so cute and constantly want a repeat performance. It's exhausting being me! They also love when I say hi and wave and when they ask me how big I am and I put both hands in the air. I'm like their own private entertainer. They also think it's hysterical when music comes on that I recognize and I squeal, dance, and try to sing along. They are so weird.
One thing Mommy and Daddy do not like is that I love to chew on electrical cords. They always yell at me when they see me going for one. It's hard to get my hands on them since Mommy and Daddy have hidden them but sometimes I find one and do my best to gnaw on it. They always tell me no and look very stern but my top front teeth are coming in. Cords are the only thing that help the pain! Actually, dirty shoes help too. They had to start hiding everyone's shoes in their bedroom. I can't help it...flip flops are so tasty.
They also get pretty upset when I pull up to a stand at the coffee table and bang remotes against the glass. That I just do for fun. I like to mess with them. Mommy is the most fun to mess with. Just today I got her really good. She was sitting on the floor folding laundry and every time she folded something I would crawl over to it and throw it across the room. You should've seen her folding and refolding and refolding clothes again and again! It took her 4x's longer to get this done then it would've if I had left her alone. Hahahahaha! Classic!
As much as I tease Mommy, I do want her around all of the time. It really upsets me when she's not holding me or playing with me. I climb up her leg and whine and cry until she pays attention to me. I am fickle though. There are times when I will cry for her to pick me up and as soon as she does, I push off of her because I want back down. Then when she does put me back down, I'll start crying to be held again. This usually leads to Mommy putting me in my crib for a nap. Sometimes she tries to distract me with toys or paper. It might throw me off for a moment but I usually figure out what she's up too. I'm too smart for her!
The rest of this week is going to be a busy one. Tomorrow is Nana's birthday. On Friday I am going to see Grace perform in a school talent show - it's their version of American Idol, and Saturday I'm going to a birthday party for Caden. Plus, I have my own things to accomplish before next month. I'm practicing saying words (don't worry, I still refuse to say Ma Ma) and I'd like to start walking soon. Chasing Ella would be much easier if I could run. I'm also working on eating baby foods. You will all be happy to know that I LOVE to eat fruit and am getting much better about eating vegetables. I am also learning how to use a sippy cup. I know how to use one, I just need to figure out how to do it without soaking myself with water.
Oh! I almost forgot! This month I celebrated Daddy's birthday. Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Sheila and Frostie came down to visit us. We went out to lunch and then hung out at the house. I love when they come visit! Hopefully I will get to see them soon. I also celebrated my very first Easter. The Easter Bunny came and left me a cute little purple basket that had all kinds of fun things in it. Unfortunately, the camera battery was dead and Mommy couldn't find the charger so there are no pictures of this event. It sucks not being the first born! I did get to wear a very pretty pink dress and then we had lunch at Nana and Pappy's. Hopefully Nana took some pictures.
That's all for now. I was going to post some pictures but I think Mommy is going to upload a bunch onto Facebook instead. Enjoy!
