On TOP of the World!

So I realize that it has been a while...we have been very busy! My Momma has been working on finishing her online class (done in 5 days... she is working on the final exam now). To keep me from getting too mischievous around the house, my Momma takes me to the playground every day. I have met a few new friends there, including a pair of identical twins my age! They do their job (keeping their Mom on her toes) even better than I do. I also have started putting a few words together: If I want to call Dad on the phone, I bring the phone to my Momma, and say "Dad! Hi!" Or if I want to eat a banana, I say "Na! Hmmm!" I also tell other people "No!" when they are touching the things that are no-no for me, like the stereo. I can show you me nose, and if I want to go outside, I will bring you my shoes, and then pull you to the door. If someone is visiting whom I don't want in our house, I push them to the door, and then start waving at them. I have long conversations with myself while I play, and I can read you my books, too. The boring pages (goats, sheep, pigs) get skipped, and the favorite pages (dog, cow, owls) get used multiple times throughout the story. Hmm. What else is new? Oh! I have found out that peeling lables off of everything, especially water bottles, is great fun. Don't leave anything within my reach that has a lable you want to keep...

Now that I have thoroughly conquered the horizontal, I am working on conquering the vertical realms! This means, climbing, climbing, climbing. Stairs and the couch are no longer challenging enough. Give me chairs! Tables! Jungle gyms! Anything that CAN be climbed WILL be climbed! Don't put anything breakable on the table, cuz I can get up there now!

This is the current new favorite picture. I love stealing my Dad's hat(s) and know that they go on my head. I insist on coming into the bathroom with my Momma and Dad, and to keep me from throwing my toys INTO the toilet, or playing in the toilet water, my Momma started putting me on top of it. I decided I like sitting there, so now I climb up on my own!

I honestly don't understand why my Momma doesn't want me playing in the water inside this thing. I mean, come on. It has the perfect height for me! And toys go "plop" wonderfully when I drop them in here! It also echoes when I yell in here!

Up! Up! Up! *grunt* But don't think I will sit still once I am up. It is all about perfecting the process. I get back down, then right back up, sit for a bit climb back down again.

Don't turn your back on me, cuz I will get into EVERYTHING! Or, should I say, ON to everything?

Uh, yeah. About that. You forgot to give me my vitamine drops today, so I thought I would just help myself. What do you mean, get down? I worked hard to get here!

Well, time for my Momma to play with me! She and my Dad are going on their 4th anniversary date this evening, and their friends Brandy and Jason get to spend the evening with me!
