I'm the pen man

After my mess with the meatballs (see following pictures), mommy took me to the sink to clean me off. I grabbed all the pens and pencils and then let mommy wash me off. I didn't let go, once I was clean. The pens and pencils are my toys. They are SO versatile (a new word). I can let them hang from my mouth, hide them in secret places, and even COLOR with them. Pens are a man's best friend.

new tricks of the trade

Yay for me!!!! Mommy was practicing my walking with me tonight, and I took 8 steps all by myself!! I walked from my dresser to my crib. I also practiced running, but it's not really on purpose- I'm just not so steady yet...(shhh don't tell!)

My other new trick is taking my diaper off. Yep, I've figured that one out too!

Mezuzos

My daddy is putting up our mezuzos

This one goes on MY door!!!

Helping mommy cook for shabbos

So here's the deal. Thursday night mommy was trying to cook for shabbos because we were having a LOT of guests. I wanted to see what was going on. How would you like to be left out of all the action? So eventually my mom got the hint, and picked me up and sat me on the counter. I tried to grab at the zucchini ends mommy was peeling for the soup. She didn't want me eating the scraps and peeled me my very own cucumber. She thought that would keep me busy.

It did, until I fell into the sink. Mommy thought that it was a good thing that I fell in, and she was just gonna leave me there.You see, I can't really climb out of the sink, and I didn't want to anyway. I had my cucumber to eat. Soon my cucumber was all soggy since I had trouble biting it with my gums-it's a tooth food. So I tried to find something else to keep me busy, and soon enough, I discovered the tap. I was able to turn the sink on and off. Well I liked it on, but mommy kept turning it back off. Soon, she didn't care anymore and let me splash around, until I figured out how to climb out. I was one big yucky wet mess. It was lots of fun though!

Tongue in cheek humor

My morning at the park with mommy

I'm on the slide at the cool playground

sliding is for babies-big kids like me like to WALK up the slide

CHEESE!! If you look closely, you can see where my bottom teeth are supposed to come in...one day.
