What I Do for Fun

I have some new hobbies!! I still like to sit outside with Mommy and Daddy before my nightnight bottle, and today I took the Twizzler Grammy got me at Chocolate World along. My new FAVORITE thing to do is to pull Mommy's hair. I can get 2 big handfuls of it, and boy, do I yank!
It's great! Her hair gets all drooly, and that makes this game even more fun.
I also like to roll over on my changing table. This drives Mommy and Daddy nuts when they try to put my fresh diders on. Ha ha, can't catch Conner T.!!!

I also like to get on my hands and knees and rock back and forth.
Today when Daddy took me swimming, Mommy brought my ducky out to swim with us!
Here I am splashing all the water out of the pool.
I didn't mean to get the water in Daddy's eyes, it just happens!

8 months old!

Now that I'm 8 months old, I can eat all kinds of yummy foods. Here I am eating my chicken and apples. This wasn't actually my first taste of meat, though. Before this, Mommy and Daddy gave me beef. I know I should have liked it becuase of my Pap and his cows, but I HATED it! I hated it so much that I threw it right back up after a few spoonsful. That'll teach them to give me something so gross ever again!

I may not have liked the first taste of chicken, but I'm a big fan now! See, I'm asking for more!
I can make a new noise, too. It sounds like Ba ba ba, and I make funny faces while I say it.
This afternoon, Mommy smashed up a bite of REAL banana for me! Daddy ate the rest of it, but he said when I get bigger he'll share more. Guess he needs to learn to share at school.
I love my bananas!

My big day!

On Sunday, Mommy and Daddy took me to a place called Busch Gardens. I saw so many big animals! These fishies were pretty neat, just like the fishies my Daddy feeds by our pool.

This kitty was big, but he licked his feet just like my doggies do! I wanted to pet him, but Mommy said I couldn't. Bummer.
Here's another big kitty having a drink.
I was having such a great time!
Mommy and I stood next to these things. I don't quite know what they were. They didn't move, but they looked like animals! SO confusing...

See, here's one of those animals again! He just sat there- kind of boring. I thought he was just a stuffed toy like the ones I have in my cribby until he scratched his nose. There was a really little one hiding in the bushes, too! I wanted to play with it, but Mommy and Daddy said no AGAIN.

I don't know what this thing is, but boy, did Mommy get excited when she saw it!

Here's a big thing just like the stuffed Elmer in my cribby!
He kept throwing dirt and stuff on his back. Bet his Mommy and Daddy are going to give him a bath tonight!

I went on the roller coaster again!
They have special seats on the roller coaster that I'm still too little to sit in, but Mommy and Daddy took a picture of me on one of them anyway.
There were more kitties. Look at those teeth!!! Will my teeth be that big? Is that why they hurt so much?
All this excitement made me tired. Mommy and Daddy were sneaky. One minute I was sitting up in my stroller, and the next minute they turned it into something like my cribby!


After I woke up, Mommy and I stood here so Daddy could take our picture. These things look like my cribby toy, Nanners, but they're not yellow. SO confusing!

I had a great time, and I can't wait to go back and pet all the animals!

I'm so embarrassed!

Apparently, unbeknownst to me, Mommy and Daddy had a little fun with the camera last night while I was sleeping. You can see my fun cribby toy, Nanners. I named him after the yummy yellow stuff I eat for breakfast sometimes. Look how cool my PJs are, though! They have horsies on the feet for me to play with. My Grammy got them for me, and I'm almost ready for a new pair because I'm growing SO big!

Put to work!

Today my Daddy had to vacuum the pool. We tried out my carrier while he worked- but he made ME do all the hard stuff!! Notice how I had to hold the big silver thingy. It was really a lot of fun. He and Mommy said they might take me to Busch Gardens in my carrier this weekend. That's really exciting, because I can go on the round and round ride there! As a reward for all my hard work, I got to play in my high chair. I made a HUGE mess with my spoon and my rice krispies!

Catching up

When my Daddy was away last week, he took the flashy thing with him, so I couldn't do my blog. Now that he's back, he and Mommy are making up for lost time!

Here I am eating my carrots. Boy, do I love them! Mommy says they'll make me see in the dark. That's good, because when I get up in the middle of the night, I can't see to play with my cribby toy! I'm a messy eater...
Here I am in my super-cool Exersaucer. I love it! It has all these neat toys, and I can make loud noises too. Daddy's afraid I'm going to tip myself over because I play so hard in it!
This is the coolest toy ever!

Dada's home!

My Dada had to go away for a long time. Mommy said it was for work. She read me stuff he sent on the computer, and he said he missed me lots. I missed him too! Here we are almost ready to nap together. He fed me my bottle and it was so good. I love my daddy!
