Teeth!

I got my first tooth this morning, and I practiced using it on mama's nose.

Easter

I'm a little confused what Easter is all about. Something about God becoming a bunny and laying plastic eggs in the yard. Mama says she'll clear it all up next year. Grandma and Grandpa Adams sent me a present to celebrate! I got two new outfits; one romper and some jammies. My favorite part was the cellophane wrapping.


My honorary grandpa, Gerry (mama's boss), got me a present, too! This is Elmo. He's very ticklish. And noisy. He rolls around on the floor like me!


We went to the Smith's house for a pre-Easter party. They have a big back yard. It's mesmerizing. I like this yellow ball.


Here are a few of the eggs I found. I think they're the ones God left for me. There were Cheerios inside, but mama said I'm not quite ready for Cheerios yet.

For those of you who don't yet know what you're doing with us babies, here are a few guidelines, including pictures in case you don't read yet.

Hi

I've figured out how to make the fish in the box do his thing. See that big blue button? I just push it. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I accidentally whack it with my head or my feet and the fish starts swimming and singing and blowing bubbles. Surprise!

Mama got me a new chair that puts me up close to any table! It's a Zooper Hook-on High Chair. She says it's mostly for eating out at restaurants, but we have it on the bar so I can watch her make my bottles. Or watch Grandma wash my bottles.

Daddy helped me go to sleep one day. Guess I helped him go to sleep, too.

I tried carrots a few days ago. I'm not too impressed, but I do like the way it spreads. And the bowl feels good on my gums.

A few recent photos

Mama and Daddy took me to Riverside for a party. Daddy's best friend, Kent, and his wife, Pam, are going to have a baby soon. Daddy says that boy will be my very best friend, just like Kent is to Daddy. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but Mama says it's somebody who knows all about you, and loves you anyway. So, while we were at the party, I got sleepy. Daddy took me outside to swing on these fancy chairs at Kent's daddy's house. I slept good.


Daddy's teaching me how to fly. Maybe I'll be a bird when I grow up!


I love oatmeal. It is SO yummy. It makes me smile. I don't hardly even make a mess anymore!


I got a new toy. Inchworm smiles at me. I LOVE smiles! Inchworm has tasty horns, too. I bite them whenever I can.


Anybody else get stressed during the Lakers/Suns game when Shaq first played Koby? Sheesh, I was pulling my hair out!

Out and about

Two of mama's very best friends from when she was really young came to visit. Jennifer and Jack arrived about lunchtime, and Stacey wasn't going to come until supper time, so we went to the beach and the Santa Monica Pier while we waited. It was a nice day and I had a nice ride, except the boardwalk is pretty bumpy. But people smiled at me a lot, so I didn't mind much.


Then we all went to Disneyland! I don't know who this big doggie is that mama had us take a picture with. I was trying to get an explanation when they took the picture. I guess the doggie was in a hurry. From the looks of that tongue, I bed he was in a rush to find his water bowl, because it was HOT outside.

My first roller coaster

Tonight we went to Lucy's new house. It has a roller coaster inside! Mama decided we should ride the roller coaster to the second floor. Their diaper changing pad was upstairs and mama said the roller coaster was nice for people holding squirmy babies. I don't know about squirmy babies, but I thought it was good fun. Mama says roller coasters get even bigger and faster when I'm older. I can't wait!

On the move...

My new skill! Mama says she'll be happy when I figure out how to go the other way...

A day of great adventure!

It was raining today and mama decided we should go shopping because the shower door repair man came early enough that we had time. I got to play in a different contraption, kinda like mine at home, only different. Maybe better!



Mama also said I needed a new toy, even though she wasn't sure where we are going to keep it. I say there's always room for more toys! Here I am with the bear thing. I kick the ball and the bear's head bobs and he sings silly songs. I kick very hard, though, so sometimes the ball almost goes over the bear's head!


Mama started giving me baths in the kitchen sink instead of her bathroom tub. Something about her aching back. Here I'm holding my feet up so she can wash my goodies.

That's how I roll...

I found a new way to ride in my stroller.

Soulmates

My daddy loves me. He was gone all day yesterday, last night and today. When he came home this evening, he rushed in to say hello, but was sad when I was already asleep. He took some pictures of me making funny faces in my sleep, which eventually woke me up. So I was extra tired and decided to cry. Daddy carried me into my room and helped me fall asleep by holding me close and squeezing my fingers. I guess Daddy was tired, too, because he slept with me about 30 minutes. Mama sneaked in and took our picture.

Hi

Mama got a new saddle for me to ride on. I can ride on the front, side or back. Here I am on the back. I like that plant over there. It's pretty, and it's dancing in the wind for me!


Like my legs?
