Livin' it up at the lake!

Mommy and some of her equally ambitious friends decided to take us kiddos to the lake for a few days. One of the girls has a family house at Possum Kingdom. The group was made up of 6 Mommys and 9 babies (ages 3 months to 3 years). Oddly enough, there was minimal scratching/pinching/biting between us and the toy sharing went a lot smoother than anticipated.
Of course I was not a fan of the environmnetal change at first, but eventually warmed up to it. Wearing a life jacket and getting into the lake was something I did NOT warm up to, however... Sorry Mommy. Maybe next time?

My first tricycle

It'll be a year or so before I'm big enough to ride it, but it sure is fun to push around! And a GREAT toy to motivate me to stand... which I need to do a lot of to build my leg muscles (as well as confidence).

Scratching = TIME OUT

For some reason, it's taking me awhile to "get that"... so Mommy and Da Da put me in my Bumbo facing the wall whenever I claw them. I don't do it to hurt... I just want a reaction. Mommy has tried to ignore it, but that's not the reaction I'm looking for. Fortunately, they signed up for the "Love & Logic" class at church (based on the book "Parenting with Love & Logic") and are determined to be a united front to whip me into shape! Until then, I will spend 1 minute increments in my T.O. spot. Argh.

I get my "ticklish-ness" from my Mama

and Dada sure knows the right spots to squeeze to send me into a laughing fit! Good times.

Besos with dada

This week mom & dad taught me the word "kiss" and how to give one... and they sure are milkin' it. If I had a nickel for every beso I dolled out on command, I'd be able to pay for my college education.
