The Week In Review

Hi everyone! So...I've been getting a little grief because I haven't updated my blog in a few days.  Grandpa told me that it is important to accept constructive criticism graciously and that one must learn to accept responsibility.  I agree with Grandpa (I always agree with Grandpa).  This is my blog and I am responsible for it's content.  But with that said I just want to point that I'm only seven months old and I haven't learned to type yet.  So if Grandpa is a little slow please cut me some slack.

Do you like my new dress?  Grandpa bought it for me.  Grandma needed some new laundry baskets and she sent Grandpa to WalMart to buy them.  Grandpa says WalMart is an evil but necessary institution in life and that one day he hopes to go an entire year without having to go to one.  Once again, I'm not sure I understand what Grandpa means by that.  I'm just glad he went because when he came home he had three new outfits for me!  Grandma says I have Grandpa wrapped around my little finger.  She also says that Grandpa has surprisingly good taste.

I've been learning lots of new things lately.  Besides learning to crawl I've learned that I can shake my head from side to side really fast.  It's loads of fun.  Everyone says that it looks like I'm saying "no", but really I just think it is a fun thing to do.  I learned that it is probably not best to do this when someone is trying to feed me however.  That's a good way to end up with squash on your cheek and not in your mouth.  Sometimes we learn things the hard way.

Yesterday I had a bath.  Baths are ok.  I'm thinking I may feel about baths the same way Grandpa feels about WalMart; that they are one of life's necessary but evil institutions.  After my bath Grandpa rocked me in the recliner and we slept for an hour and a half.  My Mommy and Grandma have started to call Grandpa "The Baby Whisperer".  They are very jealous because I can settle down and go to sleep when Grandpa holds me better than anyone else.  My grandpa makes me feel very safe.

Grandpa and I had so much fun one night this week.  We play this game where I try to take his glasses off his face.  He turns his head really quickly just when I am about to grab them and it just cracks me up.  I don't know why but it makes me laugh hysterically.  It's a real challenge to grab those suckers.  Like I said once before.  Grandpa can move fast for a big man.

I also learned to clap this week. That is fun also but I think I still like shaking my head from side to side more.

One day this week Grandma took Mommy to work and we went to her friend Vanessa's house. Do you know what? She has a cat. I'd never seen a cat before. I'm not too sure I like cats. I think I'm going to be a dog person. My Grandma doesn't like cats and my Mommy is allergic to them. Grandpa loves cats and is sad that Grandma has never let him get one.

Well...that's about all for this week. I'll try to keep the updates coming as often as I can. Say a prayer for my Grandma this week. She is going to have surgery on Wednesday. I'm not worried. Grandpa says she will be just fine.
