Yesterday Was My 1/2 Year Birthday!

I am getting old fast! Wait, Grandpa Buschette turned 60 yesterday too... it's apparently happening faster for him! Happy Birthday Grandpa!

Life is getting more and more fun these days. I remembered the other day that I know how to spit! I forgot how much I loved to spit and sputter with my drool, so I am doing a lot of that again now. Sometimes I like to spit when mom is feeding me rice cereal and peas, but it kinda makes her mad. She tells me it's eating time, not playing time. :)

I still really enjoy standing up and I wish I could do it on my own, but I still need mom or dad to hold me up. They are always trying to get me to sit, but I don't like it as much. I figure if I hold stiff like a board, then I can stay standing. I don't have any interest in crawling yet either, although mom is really working hard at trying to encourage crawling. She sits me down and puts a toy in front of me, out of my reach (mean). Then I have to lean foward and kinda crawl towards it... I usually either do a faceplant or roll over onto my back. Then I whine. This sitting and crawling stuff is for the birds!

Grandpa Bray got a backpack that I can ride in... it's sooooooo fun! I get to see everything. Even if I'm tired, I still like to ride in the backpack. Mom and me and the dog walked down the street today. It was bright and sunny but the air was a little chilly. Dad mowed the lawn.

My appetite is growing for more solid foods these days. I like most everything except carrots and green beans -yuk!! My favorite is prunes, but Daddy says I can't eat very many of those. Something about a stinky mess one night. You'll hafta ask him cuz I don't remember the details.

Well, Mommy starts back to work in 10 days. She seems real sad even though I will be just fine over at Amy's house. I like to play with Petyon. He has cool toys. He likes to pet my head too. We sleep in the same crib (see pic above), although Peyton doesn't sleep as long as I do, I just try to keep sleeping when he talks. Amy is real nice too. She knows how to make baby food. I can't wait to be there when the other 2 kids, Tyler and Marques come home from school. They really like babies which means they will play with me!

Grandma and Grandpa Bray are going to take me on Fridays, so that should be fun. I think I'll get to see my cousin Zoe more, especially when she's out of school for the Summer.

I get to ride on an airplane for the first time ever next Thursday! I am so excited to go to San Diego to visit Claire, oh how I miss my Claire Beauty. She's already running around and talking a bit, but that's ok... I know she still has her eye on me! Jesse and Tyson are getting married on Saturday and I get to go to the wedding! Mom and Dad are going out afterwards, but I really like to sleep by 8pm so I will stay at Rachel's house with the girls! I'm so excited.

Before we leave on Thursday, I hafta visit Dr. Prosser for my 6 month check up. I get 4 shots that day too. Although they startle me at first, I don't mind the shots too bad. I really just like to flirt with Kristen, Lindsay, Veronica, Judy, Susan, Monica and all the other girls. I hope to check in again after San Diego and after mom's first couple weeks at work to let you all know how it's going!
