I am quite the chatterbox these days. This morning, when we went to the kitchen for breakfast, the conversation went like this:
Me (in a sad, pouty little voice): "Some cookies?"
Mommy: "No, we're not going to have cookies for breakfast. Would you like an egg sandwich?"
Me (still sad and pouty): "No."
Mommy: "Would you like a muffin?"
Me (as sad as I could make it): "No. Like pancakes."
Of course, I got the pancakes :-)
A little while later, as Mommy was helping me put on my jeans, I looked at her and said, "I LOVE you." (Emphasizing the "love." A first! Daddy says Mommy is bragging on this one, but I have said I love you to Daddy before, just not to Mommy.)

Penguin
I totally know how to walk like a penguin. Sometimes I like to watch Mommy and Daddy embarrass themselves for a while before I play along. This particular episode took place as half a dozen plumbers working in our backyard watched.

Sometimes you just gotta dance
I really don't even need music to dance. Sometimes I just feel the music.
Turkey Trot
The only thing I like more than running is dancing, so you can imagine how excited I was to go out dancing Saturday night. I picked up a couple of new moves from some other kids, but the backbone of my routine is totally original - Daddy calls it the "Turkey Trot."
Lazy River
Running
One morning, Mommy and I were sitting on our patio, enjoying a milk and a latte, when I saw a couple of grown-ups jogging. I turned and asked Mommy, "Running?" Mommy said, "Yes, they're running. Do you want to go running?" I thought about it for a second (a very short second), and said, "Yes." So we went inside and strapped on our running shoes.
We encountered some really cool stuff on our little adventure. First, I saw a field mouse having a snack in a garden near our room. Luckily, we have a book at home called "What Do You Say?", so I knew exactly what to say to a field mouse. I leaned towards him and quietly said, "Eek, eek, eek." He looked at me for a minute, and I think he smiled before he scurried off into the bushes.
We kept walking, and I found all kinds of cool stuff. Thank goodness I was wearing my pocket shorts to hold it all. I had at least three pecans, and two really pretty leaves. You can see the leaves in my hands in the picture above - in my left hand is a big green leaf and in my right is a small yellow leaf. Daddy came outside to meet us, and he took this picture as I was running to show him everything I found. (The picture is a little fuzzy because the camera fogged up as Daddy came out from the air conditioning.)

Reading
I got a thank you card from one of my teachers at school, and tonight after dinner I read it to Mommy and Reba. Don't ask me why I am turning the card as I read it. If you don't know, I'm not going to explain it to you.

Kili


Mommy and Daddy are talking about getting a new friend for me to play with. I am really excited about that, but I will always remember my first doggie and how sweet she was to me.

Bouncing Around the Room

I got to try a moonwalk for the first time, and IT WAS AWESOME. Technically, I was "bouncing" more than "jumping" because my feet never left the ground. I'll get there...

Good Taste



These pictures actually go in reverse chronological order. I started with the flip flops, then moved onto Daddy's boots (Kaija made it look so fun!). Finally, I found them - the red high heels. Wonder why Mommy never wears these?

Be very still...you don't want to scare it.
In my ongoing quest to baffle and confuse my mommy, I willingly ate broccoli last night. Plain old broccoli - not pureed, not mixed with anything. Mommy would have taken a picture or video to prove it, but she was afraid that any sudden movements might break whatever magic spell I was under and ruin everything.
Also- I offered Mommy a piece of my broccoli and said, "Mama eat that." No lie.

I can walk!
No picture just yet -I kind of caught everyone by surprise, but last night I took two steps on my own. And this morning I took five more!
The first time, I didn't even realize what I had done. I was at Grandma and Grandpa Bush's house and Grandpa came into the room where I was playing. I was so excited to see him, and I wanted to go over and say hi. I took two steps all by myself before I grabbed onto a chair with one of my hands. Everyone was clapping and cheering. I didn't know why - I get that reaction a lot.
Once I got to Grandpa, we played ball (back and forth) - another first!

Do Over
It must have been the pressure at the birthday party, but when I got a second chance at that cupcake, I really took care of business.

Almost Walking
I am so close - I can stand up by myself, and I actually took one step by myself tonight (just ask my Grandpa and Great-Grandma). Stay tuned...
