I Bit Mommy

Yes, I now have my first tooth. It's really sharp, or so Mommy says. I'm a lot happer with it out though. It hurt me a lot when it was trying to breakthrough. I tried it out on Mommy to see if it worked. It does. She screamed.

I am about 18 lbs now. Everyone says I am getting too heavy. I think they are all wimps. I mean, c'mon, I am just a little guy. I go see the doctor next week and I have to get shots. Do they have nothing better to do than stick needles in my plump little legs?

I can sit by myself now. I have some problems with balance occasionally, but overall, I have it down. I am also allowed to eat real baby food instead of just milk. I had nanners (bananas) and rice cereal this morning. It was SO good. It filled my tummy and made me sleepy.

I can roll over by myself too. That's really convenient when there is something on TV that I want to watch. They keep laying me on my tummy for "tummy time" but that makes it hard to watch the shows I want. I think I almost have them trained and they go and do something like put me on my tummy when cartoons are on. Thankfully my lungs are well developed and I can tell them all about it.

I have been practicing new sounds lately. Daddy doesn't appreciate it so much since I like to do it right before bed. I think it's a good time I have Mommy and Daddy's undivided attention and it's fairly quiet. I figure I need to take advantage of it while I can.

I need to go. Daddy and Mommy said we are going to Sam's to get somestuff. I hope they don't put me in my "coat" again. That thing is HOT! Plus I can't find my hand to suck on it.

First week in October

I am feeling better now, but I still have a cough that sounds really yucky. Thankfully my women still love me and cuddle me. Maybe I should keep the cough, it ensures lots of holding and attention. Hmm.... Seriously, though, the fever is gone and I really do feel better.
I saw other little boys recently. One is two months younger than me and he's just as big as I am. Wow! And I thought I was a big boy! The other one was just over a month old so he's still a little boy. Mommy said he was smaller at one month than Mercedes was when she was born, and Mommy says Mercedes was tiny when she was born. Mommy thought the little baby's size had some to do with having a young (15 yr old) Mother. I just think he needs to eat more.
Daddy ordered my Halloween costume a few days ago. I am going to be Tigger. Mommy says the costume looked like it would be nice and warm for me. Heck, I would prefer to go naked. Most of the clothes I have are too hot. Mommy has been making me wear clothes more often lately, though she swears a lot when she's trying to find something to put me into. She keeps saying things like: "I can't belive he's already this big" and "he's already outgrown this", and "Oh, he looked so cute in this when it fit". I don't know what the problem is, it's not like I care what I wear.
I found a new game yesterday. We had to take Grandma to the doctor and I was bored so I was getting fussy. One of the nurses gave me a balloon. Mommy let me hit it out of her hand, and kick it, and she laid me on the floor and let me hit it while she held it. What a great toy. I was rolling back and forth following the balloon and giggling and laughing. It was fun. Now if she would just get me those Baby Einstein videos, I could hang out on the floor and watch them while I play with balloons or balls. I also have a teddy bear that tastes good. At least it helps soothe my aching gums.
