Hillbilly Baby

My mommy and daddy call me their "redneck" baby cuz I like putting my feet on the table when we eat.

Outdoors w/ My Walk'n'Ride

Mommy bought me a new Step Smart Walk'n'Ride push toy to practice my walking. We took it outside and played in the backyard. I had a lot of fun. I'm also sporting my new leather puppy slippers, so I can walk in the grass to my hearts content without getting my footsies poked. Our kitty, E'bi, even came out to check out my new wheels and see what we were up to. She's a very curious cat. Mommy says she's also very brave cuz she lets me pet her. In my excitement, I'm not always that gentle with her, but I'm working on it. E'bi was mommy's baby before me, so she's always trying to snuggle up between me and mommy. When she does that, I try sit or lie on her. She's very soft. Our other kitty, Gizmo, runs away when I come near, so I don't get to play with her as much.

10-Month Update

I'm 10-months old today...

My powers of communication are expanding: I can sign "milk"; wave hi/bye; shake my head "no" when I'm full; say "uh oh", "ma ma", "da", and "ki kaa" (kitty cat); tap on someone's leg when I want their attention, and grab my parents' fingers when I want them to walk with me.

I'm still not willing to walk on my own, but I can stand by myself, cruise around furniture, and crawl quite quickly. Chasing the kitties is one of my favorite pasttimes. I also like opening cupboards and drawers.

I've got 8 teeth now. I'm still eating 4 containers of baby food, over a 1/2 cup of cereal, and ~30 ounces of formula everyday. I eat lots of Gerber puff treats which I can feed myself, and plenty of morsels of whatever mommy and daddy are eating including Lasagna, Thai/Malaysian noodles, Indian Curry potatoes, dim sum, and sushi roe. I'm also quite proficient at drinking ice water with a straw.

I pretty much sleep through the night from 8:30 to 7:30. Mommy says I talk in my sleep, and lately I've been waking up extra early so I can sleep with Mommy & Daddy.
