Playing Nice

I went to another Birthday Party today.  The Girl Next Door, Nora, had her First Birthday!  Mommy was busy preparing for a Baby Shower tomorrow so it was just Daddy and Me!

Well, there were still lots of other Babies!  Now, I do enjoy the company but . . . Don't get in the way of my access to a toy.  I don't care how well we got along earlier.  Sometimes you have to look out for Number One!

I got my share of the pie!

More Visitors . . . From California!

What an exciting week!  Not only did I get visitors from Iowa but today I got to visit some Great Uncles from . . . California!

Great Uncle Kent and Great Uncle Millard.  Very exciting.  Granted, they weren't as rambunctious as Kelly from Iowa but they still showered me with lots of attention!

All these mystical place I've heard of, California, Iowa I've even heard whispers of a place called . . . "Oregon".   Mommy and Daddy also speak to me of Hawaii but I think that is all hype!

All these magical places I have heard of,  my little head is swirling with dreams of what the big wide world can offer!

Just thinking what I will eventually discover when I finally get on an airplane!

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!
