Summer is here

The weather has stopped jumping around and decided to stick to the high 70s and low 80s. That means I get to play outside! On nice afternoons, Mommy takes me out to the shade with Bella. I sit, roll around, grab handfuls of Bella's fur, look at the flowers and watch traffic. Sometimes we meet up with other little kids at the park or go for a morning walk too. And on the weekends, Daddy brings me out by the pool so I can help him vacuum. The last weekend of April was really nice and we all went to the Inman Park Neighborhood Festival. That was really cool. There was so much to see! I got to ride like a big boy in my Bob stroller, and Mommy and Daddy let me take my nap in there while they walked around. I was really tired!

I roll all over the place now. If I see something I want, I roll back and forth or rock until I reach it - Mommy says I look like I'm doing the crawl stroke. But sometimes I roll around because it's just fun. I grab my feet, yell and laugh...I can tire myself out! I really like my exersaucer and doorway jumper, too.

I sit pretty well and am using my highchair at the table when I eat. I keep trying new foods and have liked almost everything except lentils. Those were strange! The only way I liked them was when they were mixed with a lot of carrots. My favorites are sweet potatoes, pears, apples, mangoes, bananas, avocado, squash and yogurt. Other things I've tried and liked pretty well are zucchini, yellow squash, asparagus and cottage cheese. I haven't decided about peas and green beans.

My Daddy is really fun and makes me laugh until I can't stop. I try to make him laugh, too...and it usually works! When he's home, I don't take my eyes off of him because I know he's either going to give me a huge hug or do something fun that I don't want to miss.

I like meeting new people. I try to smile, screech and kick my feet to say "hi." Sometimes, if I'm out somewhere and people don't seem to notice me, I screech or yell a little to get their attention. That seems to work!
