Kelly!

Mommy's former roommate, Kelly, came and visited.  Kind of surprised since I thought Mommy was born living with Daddy but I learn new things everyday.

Kelly now lives in "Iowa" which is a place I want to move to, especially if all the people there are as exciting as her!  She is really enthusiastic and bubbly about everything, especially me!

Mommy and Kelly had a great time.  They both drank colored drinks and talked really loudly together.

I asked Kelly to take me back to "Iowa" with her.  It sounds like a fun place especially if all the people there are as exciting as her!

Unfortunately, she doesn't speak baby so she got on the plane to Des Moines by herself. : (

The next time she comes back and I'm speaking adult I might be able to make a more compelling case.

Lulu and Papo's 41st Anniversary

Grandma (Lulu) and Grandpa (Papo) had their 41st Wedding Anniversary today.  We celebrated with a wheelbarrow ride around the yard before I got disturbed.  Hey, it was fun for awhile but it wasn't a stroller.  I'm not used to unexpected change.

Apparently, having weddings are how little babies like me are produced.  Glad Lulu and Papo started the cycle for me!

Breaking Down Walls . . . Even if it is Just a Laptop!

I sure was hungry after a long day at the pool today!

After a day like that, a baby needs a stiff drink . . . of milk!

The only thing that was in the way of my nourishment was that Laptop.  Well, if people put-up walls to what you want you knock them down.

Sorry Mommy, I just had to make a point!  I made sure to shake my fist while I was nursing just to make a point also.

Wading Pool Envy

Mommy and Daddy took me to Volunteer Park today.  A very exciting experience.  I am a total Water Baby!

I waded very close to the center.  I would have probably made it all the way if Mommy hadn't told Daddy to turn me around!

No big deal though.  Nothing like a good splash in the water on a hot afternoon.

BUT then I turn my head and see a One Year Old walking with his Mommy in the pool by himself.  That should be me!  Come on Daddy, I'm a Ten Month Old!  Let go of my hands and let me show him a thing or two!  I can do it!

I'm up for the challenge!

My Parents just hold me back sometimes!

What The . . .

So I woke-up today and had a bit of a surprise.  It seems like Mommy and Daddy are one step ahead of me.  I can't believe all the rules they are imposing on me the older I get!

The kitchen cabinets used to be my playground now everything is "baby proofed".

I'll find a way to pick the lock.  I'm a resourceful baby!

Undermining Daddy's Authority

It was getting late.  Way past 8:00.  But there was still a lot of playing to do.  I definitely wasn't ready to be put to bed.  Especially the way Daddy holds me and tries to get me to sleep in a battle of wills.

I sure won tonight.  Mommy even told Daddy I could stay-up.  Totally overruled.   Sometimes Daddy needs to understand the Chain of Command in this house.

Respect My Authority Daddy.

Digital Lullabies

When Mommy and Daddy were babies there were no iPhones.  I sure am glad I was born when I was, phew.

They never would experience the joy of Andre Bocelli singing "Time to Say Goodbye (Goodnight)" to Elmo on YouTube.

Granted, I slapped the iPhone a few times and made it repeat and I still can't resist trying to eat it, maybe on the hundredth try it will taste good.

After about the fifth time I watched the clip I actually felt like sleeping.

Time to Say Goodnight!
