Here I am in my swimsuit.
Grandpa came to the pool with us today. It was great fun. I
showed him how I can kick my feet as I swim across the pool. I also
demonstrated my ability to swim after the purple ball and grab it with both
my hands. Mommy still helps with the swimming part. I hope that
Grandpa will join me in water sometime soon.
I think I am teething again.
I covered my jacket in drool yesterday while I was at the park and I have
been chewing on everything as of late.
I like to play for longer
periods of time. Some of my favorite things to play with are the
remote control, my big stuffed ball, the Leap Frog table, and a spare
keyboard that Daddy found for me!

New Foods for this week:

We've been having some warm
weather and I love it! I got to go sit in the back yard and play with
my toys. Mommy blew bubbles for me to watch and pop - it was so great!
I started clapping my hands.
I am rolling back and forth to grab at toys and things just out of my reach.
I also have been pivoting around like clock hands while I lay on my back.
I am starting to sip from a
sippy cup but I enjoy throwing it on the floor more than holding it for
sipping. Daddy let me drink out of his glass the other day. I
got my first taste of pink lemonade. I liked it!

New Foods for this week:
Carrots (again) and avocado

I finished my last Gymbabies
class at Gymboree. I am the oldest one in class and have out grown
this level. I have a bunch of friends who I will miss seeing each week
- especially Cole, Stone, and Sammy. Mommy and I previewed a
Gymcrawlers class but I am not quite ready for that yet. Maybe once I
officially start crawling.
I've tried all of the stage 1
foods and once I deplete our stockpile I will get to try some of the stage 2
combinations. Just think, I will soon be eating real food like Frosted
Mini-Wheats! Ok maybe not but I do like to move my mouth like I am
chewing while Mommy eats hers in the morning. She thinks that Cheerios
might be more my speed.
I had a great time at
swimming class again today. I took a nice relaxing bath after we got
home and snuggled into my spa set (thanks Kacie!). It is so warm and
cozy.

Today was the first day
of my swim class. I was the youngest and according to Mommy (and
I think the Instructor) the cutest! I wasn't afraid at all.
Mommy held me tight and I moved my arms and kicked my legs. We
sang lots of songs and moved through the water by ourselves and with
floatation devices. I am such a natural, I can even suck my
thumb while I swim! I had so much fun and I can't wait to go
again next week. I took one whopper of a nap after class -
swimming can be very tiring!
On Saturday at breakfast I
held my bottle for the first time. I
haven't quite figured out how to tip it so that I get the milk but I have a
pretty good grip.
I am really starting to get
more coordinated. I am moving my body (a.k.a. skooching) to reach for
things that are not nearby. I can also bend all the way forward while
sitting and then straighten back up. My single location days are
numbered...

New Food for this week:
Earth's Best Organic Pears & Gerber Peaches

I had a really busy
weekend. We went on a trip to see Mommy's side of the family and
most importantly - Reid (he cuts Mommy's hair and she loves him).
I didn't mind the drive at all. I was really small the last time
we went so I wasn't sure what to expect. I wound up sleeping
most of the way.
I am sitting for longer
periods of time by myself - an independent sitter I am. I also
learned that I can put my toes into my mouth! Mmmmm...they are
almost as tasty as my fingers.
My second bottom tooth
has arrived! Now I have two!

New Foods for this week:
