Shoes and Dancing

I really like clothes and shoes.  When I find clothes on the floor, I pick them up and walk around with them.  When I see my shoes, I bring them to Mom so she can put them on my feet.  Sometimes they fall off and I take give the shoe back to Mom to put on my feet.

I love to walk and play, but don't like it when I am stuck.  I don't like it very much when Mom buckles me into the car.  I don't get to move and I don't get to play.  Logan makes me laugh in the car, sometimes, though, so he makes it more fun.  I now face forward like Mom and Logan do in the car.  I like this.  Logan doesn't put his shoe on me anymore when we are driving.  I hated it when Logan did that.

Dancing is so much fun.  Sometimes Mom has music playing in the kitchen.  Sometimes my toys my music.  Sometimes Mom, Dad, or Courtney start singing songs.  I really love it and almost always dance to the music (unless I am really tired).  Sometimes I make my own music and bop my head singing "Na, na.  Na, na".  Mom sings with me.

I am learning to make all sorts of funny sounds with my mouth.  Logan and Mom teach me.  I now sometimes like to stick my tongue out.  It's so funny.  I just laugh and laugh.

I turned one!!

Two weeks ago I had my birthday.  I had a lot of fun playing with my cousins.  I got to eat a cupcake and play with my new toys.  Logan shows me how to play with my toys.  It was a lot of fun to see so much of my family.

Right now, I am having trouble sleeping well at night.  I wake up and cry because my mouth really hurts.  I hope it doesn't last very long.  I really like to sleep.

Lately I have gone all sorts of places with my family.  Check out some of my adventures:

The dinosaur museum

The zoo


Now that I am over a year old, I definitely have some favorites.  Here's some of my favorites:

• Milk, noodles, peas, bananas (I really like to feed myself - I take the spoon from Mom if she is trying to put it in my mouth and I do the job myself)
• Car toys
• Walking with Mom and Dad and holding their hand
• Dancing when Daddy plays music on his guitar
• Slides and swings
• Snuggling with Mom

Things I definitely don't like:

• Ice cream
• When Mom walks away and I want her to hold me or help me.  (I put my face on the ground on cry)
• Trying to crawl when wearing a dress.  I always get stuck on it.
