9 month birthday

Two major things happened this last week: Mother's Day, and my nine-month birthday. And I've got to say that I'm starting to think that there's really something to this whole "being a baby" thing.  I mean, gifts are pretty darn easy: for Mother's Day I clapped, and you'd think I'd just given Mom the Hope Diamond or something! And then these monthly birthdays: pretty cool!

Since my birthday came on a Friday, Mom, Dad, and I were able to spend the day together. Yeah, it started out pretty normal, and I just figured it was another day. But then we headed out, and Dad and I checked out mega-Tonka toys. These are pretty cool: I'm going to have to talk to Mom about how to get one for Dad & me. Then we went for pizza, and though Mom said I couldn't have it yet (something about allergies and tomatoes and wheat?), Dad did convince her that I could have the olives. And you know, they make a great snack food!

Like I said: really cool Tonka toys.
Or. . . Komatsu toys?

Seemed like a good enough place to hang out. 


So Mom, maybe for my next birthday?

So I've got to get back to playing, but I'm going to have Mom upload a few pictures and videos for you all . . . and have a great day!

Pictures

I have shoes now, just like Mommy & Daddy!

Daddy built me a sandbox . . . 

Not quite sure I'd recommend the sand, though . . .
it tastes rather . . . gritty.

We did do an Easter egg hunt . . . 

With a lot of other kids!

I'm getting pretty good at feeding myself
 (if I do say so myself!).


Sometimes Daddy lets me share his carrots . .  . 


I'm working on this whole "crawling" thing . . . 



















But I'd  much rather stand, walk,
jump or dance!

In this picture, I cut out pictures from an extra book we had, I colored with pens, and I painted. ( I used collage, ink, and paint.) I ch...
