I know, I know. You're feeling ignored out there. But think back to when you were figuring out that you didn't have to just stay in the same place. I bet you were pretty busy, huh?
It all started one day when I was lying around looking cute:
I said, hey, enough of this lying around. First things first, I revved up a bit by flapping my arms.
Then I got up on the knees. There was no turning back now:
Mommy tried to give me a hand. I told her to step off.
I got stuck on my knees for a while.
Eventually, I figured out the push-up position.
After that, it was only a matter of time before I was crawling. Now, I can even stand up:
Eli, please... show some decency. Any chance I can get out of here, daddy?
With great mobility comes great responsibility. I can now pretty much bathe myself in my sweet new bath:
Almost as exciting as the moving is the chewing. I grew a brand new pair of chompers the other week:
Which meant I could take in something other than the white stuff. I've made the most of this new opportunity:
And just how did I get so messy? Let's just say I haven't quite figured out the spoon thing yet:
Does it go in like this?
Or like this?
Liquified fruits, veggies and meats are all well and good... OK, they're mostly nasty. But there's nothing quite like a good slime biscuit:
Apples are tasty as well:
Mmmghf. Ahm uff nght.
I've also found the time to learn a few words. It's sort of a trial and error thing. You just sit around making random sounds, and as soon as you make one that makes your folks go crazy with glee, you just repeat that sound all day. That's how I arrived at mamamamamamama and dadadadadadadada. Not sure what they mean, but I'm obviously getting my point across.
With all of this activity, I sometime forget that it's OK to just sit around looking adorable:
It's the hat, right?
I did this for an entire day, and my face didn't even get stuck.
Sadly, the latest news is not so good. I came down with a bad case of the ol' "barfing more than usuals" the other day, along with a nose stuffed full of boogers. The whole ordeal was quite traumatic, which naturally led me to need mommy at 2 hour intervals during the night. Luckily, I've been able to pass that sucker along to mommy. So I'm starting to feel much better, thanks for asking. Although I've apparently been downgraded from "easiest baby in the world" to "normal." Alas.
