There something hard poking up in my mouth. It's never been there before but just the other day it started to come through and every day it gets bigger and bigger. It doesn't give me a lot of trouble as long as I chew on everything in sight.

Mummy and Daddy are pretty excited. They say that soon it will be as big as the hard things in their mouths and that I will get more of them. Daddy says soon I can start eating foods like his; I like that idea, I've been trying to eat his food for a while now.

Bring on the steak, I'd like mine medium, please.

Big Month!

I have been so busy.

When I first started to crawl I wasn't very good. It really looked more like rolling with some army crawling and lunging thrown into the mix. But I was moving; I was happy and my parents were happy. That week I also learned how to suck on a sippy cup and sit up without falling. It was very exciting.

Since then I've really perfected crawling. I can do the right steps at the right time and I can get anywhere I want. I'm learning how to kneel on my own and I've also learned to pull myself up on things, I'm trying to climb, and I can cruise. I've learned how to do all of things in the month since the first day I crawled.

I've also figured out how to help Mummy get me out of the car seat. She needs to loosen the straps and push the buttons, but I can do the rest! My car seat is nice, but I am always eager to get out and see where we are.

whew! Is every month this busy?

The Story of A Sippy Cup

I first learned about sippy cups when Kathryn had left hers at our house. For days I played with it and one day I realized that there was something on the top that was perfect for sucking. Mummy then put water inside the cup and when I sucked on the top and tipped the cup back, water went into my mouth! This was really cool; I had never had water before and I had never sucked on a toy and had something go into my mouth!

Mummy and Daddy decided to get me my own sippy cup. They said I couldn't use Kathryn's forever. I really liked my sippy cup and I played with it every day.

Yesterday we went to the Brown's for a 4th of July barbeque. Of course we brought my sippy cup. Mummy had placed it on the counter when I wasn't using it.

Ethan's grandmother came by and saw the sippy cup and tried to give it to him. Ethan is a year older than me and he gave the cup a funny look; he knew that he was a big boy and that was a baby's sippy cup. But he is a good boy and did take it because his grandmother was trying so hard to give it to him.

When Mummy and Daddy saw it missing, they found it and got it back from Ethan (who gave it away easily as he knew it wasn't his.) We all had a good laugh.

But the cup went missing again, and again someone was trying to give it to Ethan.

Finally at the end of the night we had to look for it again, but this time it was in the dishwasher. Poor sippy cup, I think it's tired after all of it's travels.
