the story of me

Sitting Up

It seems like every day I learn something new! Today I mastered getting into a sitting position by myself. I am still a little wobbly and I need Mom or Dad close by in case I start to topple, but for the most part, I got this! My parents are so proud of me!

My New Skills

I have been working hard on crawling and sitting up. I can do an “army crawl” across the floor at a fairly good pace when I’m motivated. I can also get myself into an almost-sitting position! With just a little help, I can sit up. I’m still wobbly and I’ve had a couple tumbles, but I’m getting the hang of it! It is all pretty exciting and it makes me.. Read More

6 months!

I turned six months old today and my dad made this cool image for me showing how I have been growing!

Giggles!

While I smile a lot these days, I haven’t really laughed yet. Today, however, I saw something very funny. A car rolled off my banana box and flipped over! That made me laugh my first real laugh. My dad did it a few more times so my mom could try and get my laugh on camera. WATCH VIDEO I guess it’s a good thing my mom didn’t get rid of.. Read More

So That’s What Food Tastes Like

As a Christmas treat, my parents decided to give me my first solid food. My mom roasted and puréed sweet potatoes. Sounds good, right? I was like, yes please! I’ve been watching my parents eat for some time now, and I am always reaching out for their food in hopes they will let me try it. As for these sweet potatoes, I was not impressed. Here is my reaction: I.. Read More

My First Christmas

Merry Christmas! I had a wonderful day with my parents and Abuelo. We went to church in the morning, and spent the rest of the day opening and playing with presents. I got so many gifts from my family and friends. I feel very loved and blessed today!

It’s Christmas Eve!

Today is Christmas Eve! My parents are excited and so am I! I’m told I’m going to get lots of presents and while I’m not sure what that means exactly, I think I’m going to like it. Tonight we had lots of fun playing with Rody. I practiced my crawling. Soon I’ll have this thing down! Before bed, Abuelo read me a very long story. Apparently it’s a classic. Merry.. Read More

Getting To Know Abuelo

It has been really wonderful spending time with Abuelo. At first I didn’t want him to hold me because hey, I don’t want anyone holding me except Mom and Dad! But the more time I spent with him, the more I realized he is totally cool! He even gave me a bottle! Now Abuelo can hold me and I am all smiles!

I Love Music!

Abuelo is in town! It’s great to see him. Tonight we went to the Muddy Rudder and listened to people playing Irish music. There was a violin, an accordian, a banjo, flutes, and my favorite, a guitar. I was fascinated just watching them play! I had a great time at the restaurant. I didn’t even cry once!

Moving Forward

I can’t crawl yet, but I’m getting close! I can get where I want to go one way or another! WATCH VIDEO Today I wanted to play my piano. So, I slithered halfway across my room to get to it! Mom and Dad say it’s just a matter of time before I’m crawling!
