Hi! My friend has this awesome ball-filled, inflated fort that I love so much. I loved to crawl up to it, stand, and try and dump myself into the pit of balls. I want one of these (but it sure takes up a lot of space....and what happens when you puke in it, cause you know I would...hmmm). Maybe I will just have to get a set of those balls and put them in my Pack-n-Play (play pen).

I'm into everything now too by the way. I can crawl really fast and also love to try and pull myself up to stand on things all day long (not a lot of independent playing going on these past few days b/c I'm falling over a lot). My apartment is not really baby proofed yet either so I'm always being bugged by someone.

Also, we are looking around at the houses for sale in the area...so that is very exciting! I'd love to have my own play room w all my toys : ) I'll keep ya posted.

Gosh I love balls!

This family really sticks together and Happa would be so proud --maybe not of our music, but still.....

I used to water ski with this ....

I am doing so much "good growing" these days! I continue to be a little busy-body; constantly rolling, kicking, jumping, etc. Although I am not crawling in the traditional fashion yet, I am pretty darn good at getting at what I want using a combo of what looks like a commando-crawl and side-stroke. I am taking swim lessions at The Y and LOVE it (as long as that creepy, purple ball doesn't come near me-- no idea why that scares me so much). We sometimes do a "Stroller Fit" class at The Y too. We continue to go to the Manlius Lib every week for story hour-- this is one of my fav things! We also attend our babies play group every week at a diff't person's house. I sleep very well at night between AROUND 830pm and 7am. My AM nap is consistently at 10am, however, I do not like to take an afternoon nap if I can help it. I love to get together with my cousin Connor and hang out on the floor. I visit all of my grandparent's houses often. I have a wonderful little life xoxo
