Honeypa and Me

Here I am with my great grandpa, Honeypa! My Mom named him that a long time ago. He makes me laugh and I always have a good time when I go to his house.

I am one week away from my 6mos birthday and I have started to crawl!!! It is amazing being able to get myself around the floor with out the help of a big person. I am not the most graceful mover but between using my head and pushing with my feet, it seems to work. My Dad calls the action "tripoding". I get to go see Dr. Lydia next week for my well baby check up! Any guesses as to how big I am now???

 

Auntie Rachel and Uncle Greg Trying to Help Me Beat the Heat

I have been SUPER busy lately!!! One of Mom's very best friends came to visit from Sweden! Her name is Rachel and she was fabulous. I loved spending time with her, she even babysat me while she was here. I can't wait until she comes back.

I have been getting to hang out with all sorts of people lately... Mom has had class all week long and Dad has been working long hours, so everyone from Devaki to Margaret to Mary to Uncle Greg has been watching me. It has been great. I have so much fun with my uncle, even if I cry sometimes, I love every minute of it. It is going to be great when I am old enough to have him teach me to skateboard.

In other news, it has been HOT! I am not a fan of this weather. As you can see, Darwin and I are soooooooooooooooooo warm. Darwin pants to stay cool and I have to rely on others to dump water on my head. I will have lots of blog postings this week because there are so many pictures to share!

Bizness

This little post has no Liam updates just cyber business. First, I took Liam off of MySpace because it is owned by Mr. Murdoch of FOX News infamy. Second, the blog got spammed this morning by some loan company, so you now have to do a word verification before it will let you post comments. Sorry for any inconvenience, I just HATE spammers!! Be well and try to survive the heat wave!

Scoot, Scoot, Skeeter

So here I am scooting along the floor!!! This is my new trick.... I plant my head in the floor, push up with my legs, and push myself along. It is so fun! I can now roll over on to my back from my stomach, being this mobile is fantastic. When I want to play with something, I can grab it. Mom and Dad are coming to terms with the fact that it is time to Liam proof the house.

I have now made it through the entire Gerber and Earths Best line of 1st step baby food! The pureed stuff is ok, but I REALLY want to eat is all the real food I see everyone else with. When I see other people eating I lunge for the table!

I have learned two other new things this last week. I figured out than I can reach for people and they will pick me up. It is really cool. When I get tired of my chair, I reach out my arms and Mommy picks me up. I can also use this to move from person to person, kind of like a baby version of leap frog. The second game is called "bam bam". It all started the other night when we were playing with my rattle. Mom showed me how to bang the rattle and say "bam bam"..... So now, bam bam means it is time to beat my hands. When I do it, my parents clap their hands and cheer. They are so funny!

The Kitchen Sink is a Great Place to Bathe

Hello everyone... here I am in the kitchen sink sitting in my bumbo chair while mom hoses me off with the water. I love my chair! I sit in it to eat, to play, and sometimes just to take a break from all the rolling and scooting I have been doing. I am getting more and more active all the time! My latest trick is to plant my head in the ground and kick my legs. I can roll over (still to the one side, and only from my back to my tummy) but now I can rotate a full 360 on my belly!!!! It is great to be able to move more. I am also grabbing a lot more and using less pinching movements. Eating has been going very well. I am now enjoying sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, pears, apples, peaches, bananas, and mixed grain cereal. I LOVE to make a mess with my food! My mom put a lot more pictures on the web galleries... so check it out!
