Happy Friday!

I'm still obsessed with sticking my tongue out as you can see! Don't I look determined??? I'm having a lot of fun with my toys now and am able to control them a little better. Mom and dad got me a Sesame Street remote control so I stop trying to play with the real ones! I think mine is more fun anyway :) Elmo talks to me when I push the buttons (much to dad's chagrin - he has pretty much banned anything Elmo in the house, but mom snuck this one in).








































It's been an injury prone few weeks in this house (but not for me, thankfully). Dad tripped down the stairs last week and hurt his ankle, so he may not be running in the Parkway race in two weeks. He says it's feeling better, but it's definitely not back to normal yet. It could have been so much worse - I'm glad he's ok!!! And mom has tendonitis in her wrist and has to wear a splint which makes it hard to pick me up. This too shall pass...

I've been VERY vocal lately. My doctor told mom at my 6 month appointment that I should start saying consonant sounds at about 8 months. The very next day, I started to say "ba ba." So now I say lots of things, including ooo ah, ba, da, ma, ga and the latest, ta. I'll be speaking in full sentences before you know it...just kidding, of course :)
