I just want to make it very clear, my hair is not dyed. It was dark when I was born, and now it is turning blonde. I am sure this is a very normal baby phenomenon.
So, please do not stop us and ask my mom if she dyes my hair. It is getting quite ridiculous.
(Oh, but the Little Blogger doesn’t mind being stopped to be adored. That is allowed.)
Mom and Aunt E took me and my blue duckie to something called the pool. It was like a giant bathtub but it was blue and there were lots of kids. Oh, and the water was cold.
I am glad blue duckie came with me.
I used a splash signal for when blue duckie strayed.
I found keeping track of duckie to be a serious matter.
Duckie found a safe perch, out of the cold blue water.
I like blue duckie and Aunt E. Not sure about the pool.
Mom and Aunt E seemed to enjoy it a lot. I am still undecided as to whether or not the pool is fun.
Did I mention that the water was cold?
I popped out another tooth.
It was as easy as swinging in the sunshine on a summer afternoon.
According to Aunt E, my personal dental hygienist, I am going to have to think of 18 more similes….
I went to this party this weekend which involved something called a Lobster. The Lobsters flew in all the way from Maine, only to be dumped into a very hot pot and then doused in butter. Even with my new tooth I couldn’t quite figure out how to eat them.
At least I was finally not the only person wearing a bib at the table.
A special part of the meal was when Mom and Dad told me stories about my great grammie who was from the same state as those Lobsters. They said she loved to eat Lobsters. That was probably because she had more than one tooth.
The week leading up to my six month birthday, I had this pain in my mouth. It made me drool a lot and bite everything. Then, on the morning of my six month birthday, mom yelped when I chomped down on her finger. Apparently I had sprouted something in my gums called a tooth.
I have a tooth but I refuse to let mom photgraph it.
I was really happy to finally be over the whole painful ordeal and long sleepless nights.
Painful gums were getting in the way of my beauty rest.
Then I realized it was only the first of many. Sigh.
Wait. Humans have how many teeth?
So stay tuned. I think I feel another tooth sprouting in my poor helpless gums.
How is it possible that I am six months old already?
Mom says there are still six more stickers left in the package.
She also says that when I wear the the last sticker there will be cake involved. I think I can handle that.
Remember Aunt E and Uncle M’s puppy? She is less of a puppy now, just as I am less of a newborn.
I think it is obvious who is cuter. Still.
I am on the right, in case you can't tell.
Today was a holiday known as Mother’s day. From what I can tell it involves dad taking me out first thing to get flowers and scones and lattees for mom.
I picked out those flowers. They looked tasty.
It also involves dad rolling out grass in the garden and mom taking pictures.
Twizzle had to be bribed to sit calmly next to me.
I don’t know if this is how all mom and dads celebrate mother’s day, but it was a nice day.
I love the new lawn dad planted today.
Happy Mother’s Day, mom. Aren’t you glad I made you a mother?
Grampy got his knee re-replaced. Mom said he had a knee and then another knee and now another knee. Sounds pretty kneedy to me.
I know he isn’t feeling super great, but he certainly looked pretty great.
Grampy is cool. Even if he is balder than I am.
He let me sit in his spit-up bucket. It is something we bonded over.
Get better soon Grampy! I kneed you to haul me up mountains this summer.
Dad has worked hard over the last five years and he finally finished what he set out to do. Mom and I are very proud of him.
Dad graduated!!!!
Mom said it was a journey that started before I was born, but was made more special because I was born. Whatever that means.
Dad and I matriculated together.
So, on to the next thing, dad!
Go Buffs. They now share an Alma Mater.
