Trucks and a Birthday Party

2012-02-13

We had a big week. I spent Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night at Grandpa Al and Grandma's Wynne's house. Mommy and Daddy traded off being there to help take care of me. Duke stayed the whole time - he didn't want to miss anything I might drop from my chair when I'm eating.

I spent a lot of time playing with my trucks at Grandma and Grandpa's...

...and on Tuesday we went to see Grandpa's truck! The chair in the truck is really high up - higher than sitting on Daddy's shoulders! And Grandpa used the air horn - it was kind of loud. I was a little nervous when Grandpa started the truck because it makes so much noise, but I wasn't scared.

Great-grandma Dorothy came over to visit me again before I went home.

Now that I am feeling better, Mommy and Daddy are giving me weird things to eat again.

What is this?

You are trying to trick me into eating something new again...aren't you?

On Sunday we went to Michael's birthday party. He's eighteen now. I ate lunch with everyone and I had some of what they were having (and a little baby food). Mommy and Daddy are excited that the time when they won't have to drag little jars of food around is coming soon.

This was before I started chewing on the table.

Auntie Kara has a new camera, and she took some pictures that she said we could put on the blog. Here they are:

This, and the teeth marks all over my crib, are why Mommy and Daddy say I am part beaver.

Don't be fooled - Mommy can't really play the drums.

She also can't play the guitar.

Michael and his cake. I had some. And a little ice cream.

After the party, we went back to Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's to get Duke and stretch my legs. I ate supper too, and we waited for Grandpa to come home from work so I could play with him some more.

And then we went home to sleep.

See you next week!
