Hi Daddy — I Miss You!

I’ve been practicing my crawling a lot this week, and I’m getting pretty good! I can get myself from one side of my room to the other, though I don’t necessarily crawl the entire way.

With my  increasing mobility, my curiosity is allowing me to get into all the things I’ve been patiently waiting for the chance to explore — like dog kibble. Mommy said I couldn’t have any, and I said I wanted it all. So, she taught me this new word, “compromise,” which apparently means I still don’t get to eat any dog food, but I get an unsalted, plain rice cake instead. I think I might have gotten the short end of the deal. But I’m also making changing time a challenge:

(yes, Mommy was shooting with the 16-35, so she was only six inches away when I stood up the second after this shot) And I’m more interested in the camera that you keep pointing at me — I think I can get through it to Mom and you on the other side:

And, of course, my Wilma. My most favorite of all angry beasts. One of these days, I know she’s going to love me back, angry kitty.

A New Post Today Because Daddy’s Away

I miss my Dad very much, and since I know he misses me, I just wanted to post a special post for him. That way, he can keep track of how much my gorgeousness grows each day he’s away. I am a handsome devil — and I know it! Everytime I catch a glimpse of myself, whether in the bathroom mirror, a mirror on one of my toys or in the window on the car, I start waving voraciously. Though everytime other people try to get me to wave, I look at them like they’re idiots.

 I’ve also started pulling myself up to a sitting position in my crib, which is really fun because I can reach all my toys! But then I get tired and don’t know how to get back down, so I just fall asleep where I am.

I’ve also started working on crawling. I took my very first three crawl “steps” on Tuesday. I would’ve been going long before now, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get my feet behind me, so I just lean forward really far and reach for whatever it is I want.

Other than that, I’ve just been spending my time being a pimping fool. I miss you Daddy, and I can’t wait to see you!
