Me and mommy playing

Two days ago I turned 9 months old. I think that means I'm a big boy. Mommy doesn't think so though. She doesn't like when I try to climb on stuff. I like to try to climb the stairs, and I can get out of the tubby all by myself now too. Mommy doesn't like that either. I think she's a scaredy cat. I'm not scared of anything though.

Friday my grammy came to see me. We had a really fun weekend. We went to my favoritest place for breakfast . I like to go there because the waitresses are all my friends. My favoritest one was working too - she likes to carry me around and I get to help her pass out food and count out moneys. She's one of my girlfriends. Then we went to the park, but we didn't swing or play. Instead mommy pushed me around in my stroller and we looked at a bunch of stuff. I had to cry a bunch though at first. My tenny shoes hurt my toes and I didn't want to wear them. When I cried a bunch my mommy took them off. Crying works! While I was riding in my stroller I got a new aminal. I think it's a giraffe, but it's not drooly like the one at the zoo that ate my leaf. I got a funny hat too. It has a tail and the doggies wanted to smell it and play with it. Mommy had to put it away. Saturday night we rode in the car for a long time and then I got to sit with Josh and Heather and saw a bunch of my friends from church. But we weren't at church. Then Sunday we didn't go to church. We went to Autumn's house. She got to open up stuff and play with new toys and she got to eat something brown and gooey. She really liked that stuff but mommy said I couldn't have it till I turned one. I think that's a long time away. Autumn let me play with her new toys for a little while. Sometimes girls are okay.

I had a really fun week this week. On Wednesday I got to go to school with mommy for a little while. She came and got me early and then I went to her classroom with her. None of the big kids were there though. She said it was conferences - and I had to be a good boy while she talked to the kids mommies and daddies. I guess I was pretty good. I got to go to Mrs. P's room and she hugged and kissed me a bunch. I think she likes me. I got to see Mr. K too. He's funny. Daddy came and got me after a little while, but mommy had to stay a bunch longer. I was pretty tired when she got home. Daddy and I were taking a little nap in his chair.

On Thursday something else happened. I didn't go to Ashley's house like I always do. Instead I went to Cheri and Mike's house. Man it was fun there. They have two doggies in the house and big one and a little one. I really liked the big kids taking care of me.... especially Lexi. I got to see cows while I was there and I got to go for a ride on a lawnmower. Daddy says mommy is mean cause we don't have a lawn mower to ride on. He has to push his.
