It is HOT! Today, Mommy and Daddy were packing to leave tomorrow for Rexburg/Pocatello… I helped unpack everything so they could re-pack it :) Anyways, it got too hot, that i went to where the fan was blowing and just laid out and enjoyed the cool breeze. I even dozed off. Boba joined me.
Mommy and I finally got sick from Daddy. I have the worst sore throat! It is miserable! I hope I get better in time to go to Pocatello and Rexburg to visit family. I could hardly sleep last night, I woke up after being asleep for about two hours feeling miserable so mommy brought me into bed with her. I kept waking up every hour or so and cried because my throat hurt so much. It helped to suck on my pacifier though. I think mommy was trying to wean me off of it but she decided to wait till I get better. Yesterday was a pretty miserable day for me too. With all the walking and running I’m doing, I’m falling alot too. I fell alot of times and got alot of bumps on my head. Not only that, but when Daddy was giving me a bath, I stood up to let him know I was done and slipped and bit my tongue. I had blood pouring out of my mouth and I was crying so hard I was choking on it. Mommy and Daddy cleaned me up and comforted me though, and the bleeding stopped and I felt better. I think it really scared Mommy and Daddy. Anyways, I’m really excited to go on vacation! I’m going to show everyone how well I am walking. I have been practicing all week and getting really good at it!
Yesterday we had Stake Conference, since I can walk alot now, I would not stay in my seat. I kept getting down off of my chair and walked right out the door! I walked down the hall and found the nursery, so I played with some toys in there for a little bit. I explored the whole church, with Mommy or Daddy in tow. I still take alot of falls while walking, but I get right back up and keep going, unless I get really tired. Also during church I went into the foyer and found a little boy a few months older than me thats in my ward. He was walking around, so I decided to walk around with him. We were chasing each other and playing with each other. He was lots of fun. We walks a little bit better than me though, so every time I fell I would lay all the way down and roll over onto my back and put out my foot to trip him so he would fall too.
Last Sunday when we were at Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell’s we played croquet. We took lots of pictures. I was being pulled around in a wagon by Mommy. We took lots of pictures, here are a couple, the rest I will add to the pictures page. Also, we finally got a card for Daddy’s phone so we are adding all the pictures he has taken to the pictures page as well, so there are lots of new pictures!
Also the other night we went to Rich and Keesha’s Wedding Reception, and the person that was Mahana in the original “Johnny Lingo” movie was there so I got a picture taken with her. Jealous Grandpa Greg??
Last night I had a dream that I was walking, climbing down the stairs, and standing up without pulling myself up onto anything. It all seemed to be pretty easy so I studied hard at how I did it in my dream and got right to work this morning. As soon as I woke up and mommy let me off the bed I walked away. I made it all the way out of her bedroom and down the hall to my bedroom without falling or sitting down! Thats more than 20 steps! I also realized that from crawling I can just put my feet under me so I’m squatting and then just stand from that without grabbing anything to pull myself up. I’ve been doing it all day! My last surprise was climbing down the stairs. Mommy and Daddy have been trying to teach me how to do it since I learned how to climb up it. I HATED IT! I wanted to be carried down! I refused to even TRY to learn. About a week ago, Daddy left in a major hurry and was kinda mad and he ended up knocking down the baby gate at the top of the stairs in his hurry. Mommy hasn’t put it up yet and didn’t worry because I’m rarely upstairs unless Mommy or Daddy is with me, and I’m afraid of going down the stairs because of the few times (when someone besides mommy was watching me) I have fallen down them. So I avoid the stairs when I am upstairs. Not this morning though. I saw Boba playing and eating and wanted to play with him. Mommy heard me playing at the top of the stairs and ran to watch me. When she saw that I was climbing down them, she grabbed the camera of course! Then in the video, I get distracted by Daddy walking in the door from work, so thats what I’m looking at when I reach the bottom.
Our neighbors house burst into flames. It was cool. We woke to sounds of sirens but daddy had just gotten home and he heard the explosion. We took video from our upstairs window, which is the only place anyone could see the flames without being in them basically. So we are lucky. Here is the video.
Last night my Aunt’s Ariella and Lydia stayed the night. This morning, when daddy came home, i decided to wake everyone up with my giggles. I took my lightsaber and kept hitting daddy with it. He kept getting hurt and it was so funny I couldn’t help but laugh.
Today mommy and daddy went to a wedding so I stayed with Grandma Mitchell. We had lots of fun together, as always. Today was a Daddy day though, I wanted only him if he was around. Sometimes it’s a Mommy day, and sometimes its also a Grandma or Grandpa day. Not today. I miss Daddy when he is sleeping and at night when he works. I love to play with him! He holds onto my legs really tight sometimes, and I’ll fall backwards and he’ll swing me around, it is so much fun! I know he will never drop me because he really loves me and always holds me tight.
Tonight I am having a sleepover at Grandma’s house! They decided to take me for the night so Daddy can get lots of sleep as soon as he gets home from work in the morning since he didn’t get any sleep today and he won’t get much more tomorrow and he has to work. I love my Grandparents so much! They spoil me rotten with lots of love.
Now that Aunt Becky is gone, life has gone back to its normal self. I spend my days making as many messes as possible and then giving mommy trouble as she tries to clean up after me. I have weened myself off of two naps and am now just taking one. Mommy couldn’t have an easier kid to take care of. I love playing with my kitty, he follows me around everywhere and is curious about everything I play with. I also love to play with bubbles. I enjoy popping them with my finger, and watching them pop on my kitties and in everyone’s face.
Last night I saw a rainbow!!! The whole sky turned this really weird pink color and rain started pouring. The colors of the trees and everything looked so unrealistic, it was like in a crazy movie or something! I think it was because the storm was during sunset. There were also a couple funnel clouds. It snowed north of here on Tuesday. I can’t wait for it to finally warm up so I can play outside.
Here is my picture for the day!! This is of me yesterday eating lunch. I love to stick my feet up on things.
I AM 11 MONTHS TODAY!!!!!
Sorry about not posting for so long, my week has been busy spending time with Aunt Becky. She came to visit me all the way from Provo! I have been practically living at Grandma Mitchell’s house, I even spent the night there Saturday night and went to church with them on Sunday. I have another tooth! This one is on the top, it looks a little weird at the moment because its above my gums, not sure if that is normal or not. I’m also walking here and there, just a few steps at a time. I also got to see my new cousin Damian!! He is adorable! I can’t wait till he grows up a little bit so I can play with him! He definitely looks like his parents.
I am getting into alot now, mommy caught me completely stuck in my toy chest. She has no clue how I got in there but thought it was hilarious so she snapped a couple photos.
Also, I love to play computer games (as well as blog obviously) So mommy took a picture of me on the computer at Grandma Mitchell’s house.
And of course, some more pictures of my curly hair that is getting so long!
And here is a picture of me looking out the window resting my head on the back of the couch.
Guess what!?!?! I’m officially a walker! Mother’s day was a bit of a spoof, just a suprise for mommy. Now, I’m officially walking. It started with Monday. On Monday, Aunt Becky came to visit! I was so happy to see her! She is so much fun. Mommy said that when Becky comes, I can start walking. So when Grandpa was playing with me, I decided to take a couple steps. Grandma wasn’t around though, so we didn’t say anything. Then yesterday, after my bath. I walked back and forth between Grandma and Grandpa several times till I was too tired to do it anymore. I even got it on video! Also there are pictures of me taking a bath, of my kitty Boba, and a video of me with Boba and a video of me giving kisses. Enjoy!
This last picture is of me after my bath with how curly my hair gets.
