GRRRR & BUB-BYE

Naked Baby striking a pose

Me in my new sleeping arrangement, swaddle free!

Me sleeping like a burrito...ahhh, I do miss it!

Working on scooting

My first dip in the river. So nice!

Burrito no more!! What does that mean your asking....well, that means that since the time I was born my mom and dad have been swaddling me up like a little burrito--and as of Friday, I don't need to be swaddled anymore. I know what your thinking...who still gets swaddled at 7 months old? But, with my bad skin, if my parents didn't pin my arms down, I would scratch and scratch and scratch...and would wake up with blood and scratches everywhere. But, Friday night my mommy didn't swaddle me and I woke up scratch free!! Now I snuggle up with my monkey and blankie and am good to go!

This week I decided that I am a bear...GRRR. I GRRR all day long. While I'm eating, while I'm playing...while I'm riding in the car....GRR GRR GRR all day long. AND, this week I waved bub-bye for the very first time!!...to Daddy as he was leaving for work. Mom was mad that she didn't see it, so when she got home she hounded me to do it...so I did! I need to make the queen B happy too! :) Basically, I put my arm in the air and twist my wrist back and forth. And since doing so, I've taken a long hard look at my hands...they sure move in some weird ways! Although, you're right...mine are stubs so they do probably move in a "special" way!

Hey, you should see me eat now!! This morning I had pancakes! I can eat so many big people foods now, it's great! I am also totally into drinking water from a cup! When my parents take it away I whine and reach for it! They said it will be a looooong time till I can have a cup with no lid by myself... Shoot!

This week the weather has been so nice! I went swimming in the river for the first time...and let me tell you, I am such a good swimmer! I kick kick kick!! I've gone on lots of walks and played in the yard a ton too! And, my friends, RyLee and Camden are here visiting from Texas. I got to spend some time with them so that was very fun! They are 2 1/2 year old twins!! (their poor mom!) Also, my new friend, Drake was born last week... (his parents are Amber and Tim),Welcome!!

Have a good week everyone.

Hugs and Waves...
