Happy Birthday America
July 4th was on a Tuesday this year. It's awful being in the middle of the week! I would much rather it always be a Monday or a Friday - long wkd! You have really started crawling a lot this past week, and you're pulling yourself upright like a real pro. We began feeding you little puffy cereal like snacks to give you something to practice chewing on. You stumbled a little the first few days, but you have gotten the hang of it now. Once in awhile we attempt to let you feed yourself, but the pieces often get stuck in your big paws and then you give up. It's pretty cute.
I think this week, you started a new level of thinking. I'm not sure what to call it, but it just looks like you have a new understanding when we speak to you. It shows up in little things like when we talk, you respond vocally (now we just need to learn your language!). Oh, you also began an infatuation with the refrigerator. We have 3 chip-clips with magnets and we keep them on the fridge when not in use. You LOVE these, and we keep them low enough so that you can crawl over to the kitchen and pull them down. Unfortunately, we have a busted junk fridge that has a piece of it's trim molding loose on the front. You love pulling on this too, so we're often forced to distract you from ripping it completely off. I don't know what we're going to do about that...
Another thing I'm doing is continuing to introduce you to different sports by having you play with a basketball, football, soccer ball and volleyball. You seem to like these a lot, and I think that's fun.
Tonight at Wal-Mart, you smiled big every time I threw the package of swim diapers in the air. Then I tossed them to you, and you would "catch" them in your lap. Seeing you smile and laugh makes me feel great.
I love you little buddy.
Dad
