You Guys Look Ridiculous!

What on Earth! Alice, you look like one of the birds in my board book! And Chloe, is that you? I have no idea what that is on your head. And to think, I accused Mommy of making me wear silly hats! I really dodged a bullet on this one. Thank heavens no one put me in some ridiculous outfit today.

But speaking of outfits, there is a long stuffed thing hanging off the back of my onesie. I heard someone call it a "tail". I don't know that word, but the dang thing makes it hard to sit down.

This party is pretty fun. Alot of you look like my friends from playgroup, but it's hard to tell with the wacky outfits you are wearing. Plus I'm getting sleepy--why are we up so late? This is usually my bath time.

Weird Food

Do they actually expect me to eat this stuff? It is HARD. I prefer my purees, big people! I will taste this weird hard stuff, but I won't swallow it.

What are you eating? It looks better than what you are giving me. I heard the word "pancakes", though I have no clue what that is. "Pancakes" look softer and tastier than my pellet breakfast!

Tiggy Attack!

HELP! Tiggy heard it was Halloween and decided to get all scary! He's coming after me! Ahhhhhyeeeyaaaahhhh!

BTW, I'm wearing a cool Halloween onesie that Gram found for me. It had matching pumpkin slippers, but Tiggy ate them! (Just kidding!)

Thru My Bedroom Window

Now that I can stand up on my own, I can get to alot of neat stuff that was off-limits before. Like, this window, for example. Who knew you could see through it to the backyard?? No wonder those big people are so powerful. They can reach all the good stuff because they are taller than me. And to think, I used to believe they were smarter, but no, they are just taller....

This Crib Sure is Tasty

Oh boy, there's a whole new world I can reach now, like these tasty crib rails! I LOVE cutting my new front teeth on the wood! I can even make little marks with my teeth so that any future babies who use this crib will know it was mine first. Truthfully, just about anything is good to gnaw on these days--wood, plastic, metal, even big people. Especially big people because they make this really cool surprised noise when I bite them. They must think it's as funny as I do!

The Zoo with Gram

At last, Gram has come to visit! She took me to the zoo to see some of those animals that are in my board books. We saw an elephant, some monkeys, a fishing cat, and the famous baby panda. I wanted to unlock their cages and take them home to sleep in my room (like in "Goodnight, Gorilla") but my plastic keys don't actually work! Gotta talk to Mommy about that.

Gram was really fun. She tried to buy me tons of stuff in the gift shop. The only thing I really wanted was a magnet with a floating panda in it. It's great to teethe on!

Finally, Fall!

At last, the weather has turned cool and I can wear my fall duds! I've been waiting so long I've almost outgrown some of them. Today Mommy and I went to the park to hang with some other babies. Everyone played on the blanket, tasted leaves, and smacked each other in the head. The mommies ate a baby food puree they called "Hummus". I stuck my hand in the bowl to see what it was, but decided against tasting any. The leaves were good though...

BTW, can you see my new front teeth? I don't show them to just anybody, so consider yourself lucky!!

The Dangers of Older Women

Hey, Greta, I thought you said you could stand up! I thought I could too if I just grabbed onto your ears (and gnawed a little on your beautiful blond hair), but we went DOWN DOWN DOWN! Don't blame me! You are older, and should have known better. Plus, as my future wife, I expect you to look out for me when I do boneheaded stuff. No time like the present!
