Ten Things I've Been Up To This Summer

#1 Chasing Rainbows

This awesome double rainbow appeared in our backyard after an amazing thunderstorm. Mom kept trying to get me to look at it, but the raindrops falling off of the patio furniture were MUCH more exciting.

#2 Playing with Lobsters
My friend Echo got me this cute onesie and stuffed lobster on her trip to Maine. That lobster better look out for this Lil' Snapper!

#3 Eating "Real People" Food

I'm eating a lot of different table foods now including macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, bagels and cream cheese, Rice Krispies, and my favorite...COTTAGE CHEESE!

Fortunately for us, the ice-cream truck passes by our house with some regularity. One hot day, I had my first Dreamsicle. Um, is THIS the stuff that dreams are made of?

Once I got past the coldness factor, it was actually pretty good! I think I've got my daddy's sweet tooth (but I've got my mommy's smile).

#4 Using a Sippy Cup

Water is simply delicious!

#5 Waving to Cute Babies

I've started to wave! One night when we were in Lake Placid out having dinner, I saw this cute baby in the mirror and gave it a friendly hello. It even waved back! I love playing with the Baby In The Mirror! #6 Becoming a Glyphologist
One day, I used my Alphabooks to put together a crossword using all of the letters of the alphabet just once. I worked on it with Grammie, Grandpa, and Mom for hours (it's A LOT harder than it looks) and finally got it to work out! We got down to the end and had a Z left and tacked it right on to the end of 'QUART' to make 'QUARTZ'. I 'gnu' we could do it! #7 Making Music by Standing Tall

With a little help from my friends (or my music table or the couch), I've been practicing my standing.

Would you like me to play Haydn's Symphony No. 94 in G Major for you?

SURPRISE!#8 Doing Push-Ups?

Well, I'm still not crawling yet, but boy do I want to! Maybe it will help if I get up on my tiptoes?

#9 Reading

Hey, do you know what turns a good book into a great book? Reading it with your foot up in the air!

And speaking of feet...

#10 Poking My Foot Out

That little foot! I guess some things never change. :)
