A Busy October

Last week, Mommy left for a whole week to go somewhere for training.  I had such a fun time with Daddy.  He did a good job taking care of me.  When Mommy got back, I almost didn't remember who she was, but it didn't take me long to get back into the groove of things.  Right before Mommy left for the week, I got into a little bit of trouble. Daddy had been spending a lot of time in the bedroom working on the closet project and one time I got out of Mommy's sight and I snuck into the bedroom without her seeing me.  Unfortunately, I tripped an fell over a pile of wood and I came down on a sharp corner and cut my lip pretty badly.  Luckily, it bled a lot at first, but stopped just as fast as it started.  Mommy and Daddy were worried, but everything turned out okay.  It healed really fast and never bothered me, even when I ate.

I am preparing for Halloween.  It may be fun to go as a ghost since I love putting things over my head.  While Mommy was folding laundry today, I took the sock bag and put it over my head and pretended to be a ghost.  Mommy and Daddy had fun playing a game with me.  I would cover my head, and then pull the bag off and they would say Peek A Boo.  That would make me laugh!
I am perfecting more words these days.  I am excellent at yelling, "Yee Haw!" It's all the pony riding that I have been doing recently that got me so good at saying that.  I also do a really good job saying, "Ball."  I say it when we throw the balls around the house and I see a lot of kids playing at the school with them.  When I see them, I point and say it.  Other than that, I've been up to my same old tricks.  

Fall Weather

Its the beginning of October, and its starting to feel like fall.  All of my summer clothes are getting packed away and I get to wear some new long sleeved outfits.  I even have new pajamas that keep me warm all night!  There isn't a whole lot of new things to report, but that I have been trying out a lot of new sounds with my mouth.  I now say Baaa Beh and am perfecting my wave so that every person I see I can wave to say Hi!
I'm learning what my belly button is now.  If Mommy or Daddy show me theirs, I walk over by myself and lift up my shirt to see if I have one and I do!  For a long time I was afraid of belly buttons, but now that I know I have one, they aren't so bad anymore.  
The other day at daycare when Mommy dropped me off I had a bad breakout in hives.  My face got red, my eyes puffy and the rash was all over my neck.  I wasn't too happy about that, but shortly after Mommy left, it went away and I felt fine.  It seems like I get the red rash and white dots a lot on my face, especially when I drink my milk, but they go away just as fast as they come so I don't worry about it too much.  I am totally used to the taste of whole milk now.  It took me a while to get used to it, but last week I started drinking just milk without any formula in it.  Eating is fun; I like to eat what Mommy and Daddy are eating and its nice to taste new foods.  
Now I must get back to opening kitchen cabinets and reading my books.  I am just too busy these days to sit and write all the time!
