First, happy birthday to my daddy. Tomorrow he adds another candle to his cake. Except he can’t eat cake because he gave it up for Lent. I wanted to give up green beans, but mom wouldn’t let me do that. Mommy wanted me to give up my “midnight” snack. I occasionally will sleep the entire night (from about 6:30pm-7:30am), but I still wake up once a night for a “midnight” snack (more like a 3am snack). If you ask me, it’s a long time to sleep without waking up. And sometimes I wake up really wet which I don’t like, but I don’t really fuss about it either. But most of the time, I just like to see mommy and daddy during the night to make sure they are ok.
On Friday I tried my first non-fruit or veggie – tofu. Let’s just say it didn’t go too well. Mom mashed up some tofu for me, but there was something about the texture that I did not like. I kept coughing and making faces until she finally gave up. But then I didn’t want to eat anything with texture for the next two days. So no papaya, no banana, no peas and definitely no tofu.
Mommy and daddy are trying to teach me sign language. I comprehend the sign for milk – whenever mommy makes the sign, I get all excited. They also use signs for hungry/eat, more, bath, and doggy. Mom thinks doggy will be my first word so maybe I’ll make it my first sign too. She thinks doggy will be my first word because I love Jesse. I talk to him in the morning while I’m in my highchair eating. I give him hugs when he sits tall and mommy stands me next to him. I love petting him and don’t mind when his tail wags in my face or he barks really loud.
This weekend was spent watching basketball (don’t worry, it’s the only TV I ever get to watch). I got cranky tonight because both of my teams lost. Oh well, now at least mom and dad won’t be as interested in the games I hope. Yesterday I did take a break from basketball to send well wishes to our friend Elizabeth who is going to Afghanistan in June. I’m not quite sure where Afghanistan is, but it sounds far away and kinda scary to me. I am very proud of Liz and the sacrifice she is making. Apparently daddy did something similar before I was born so I am proud of him too. Anyway, Liz and Jared hung out with me on Thursday night while mommy and daddy went to dinner together. They are so much fun; I was smiling and laughing and was a very good boy for them. Earlier this month, Lisa and Scott stayed with me and I had a blast then too. Auntie Lisa sang her version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to me and made me laugh. I’m lucky that I have so many great friends. Ok, technically they are mommy and daddy’s friends, but they are my friends now too.
Tuesday was one of my favorite days ever (I know, not saying much considering I have only experienced only 217 days so far). It was really warm and sunny out so mom and I went for a walk and then afterwards we sat on a blanket in the shade in our backyard. Mommy brought out a bunch of my toys so I could play while outside. She also showed me the grass, leaves, and pointed out a helicopter flying over our house. I watched Jesse run around the yard and got to experience many new sights, sounds, and smells. I also got some cool sunglasses to wear while outside. I was in a pretty good mood on Tuesday. I even let mommy read to me and I giggled the whole time she was reading a story about Biscuit the dog. And then that night I got to hang out with daddy while he cooked out. That meat sure smelled good. I can’t wait until I get to eat good food like burgers and brats. Notice how a lot of my stories are about food. I get that from my mom.
Well another couple weeks have come and gone and I am still constantly on the move and learning lots. I know play with my toys some instead of just eating them. Though I still stick everything into my mouth, I actually use some of my toys as they were intended. For example, I just learned how to pull the lever on my see and say today which made mommy very proud. I also learned how to throw some of my toys. It surprised mommy a bit this morning when I chucked a plastic shape across the room. I also enjoy dropping my toys on the ground and watching mommy or daddy pick them up. Ah, the joys of being a child and having your parents wrapped around your finger!
Love,
Cameron
