Try It You'll Like It...

...as GG likes to say. I'm not sure I buy it though. I think I got mommy's taste buds. Here's a photo collection mommy put together of all my "tries":

8 Months Old

This month I really started to explore my surroundings. I try to grab anything within arms reach (which is pretty far, you should see how flexible I am) and try to roll, scoot, or arch my way around the room. I haven't figured out that crawling thing yet, but I've been spending a lot more time on my tummy and building up my arm muscles so it won't be long. Mommy and daddy need to start baby proofing soon, just yesterday I found a fun electrical cord plugged into the wall to play with. My favorite game is banging things together - anything I can get my hands on and most recently just my hands (who knew you didn't need any toys to make loud noises!).

On the down side, I got sick for the first time this month (but recovered quickly). My mouth also hurts a lot. Mommy thinks its teeth, but they never show up - they just make me drool a lot and bite on everything.

We're seeing the first signs of spring in Oregon and it's been nice to get outside. We go for walks around the neighborhood with mama kitty and yesterday I played in the yard while mommy and daddy washed the car. Oh speaking of cars, we got a new one and I moved into my big girl car seat so I'm riding in style now.

I also helped Pappie and Judy celebrate their birthdays this month and gave lots of loves on my first Valentine's Day.

Go Blazers

I went to my first Blazer game last Sunday. At first I wasn't sure what to think, there were millions of crazy people yelling all around me. They would get quiet and then all of a sudden they would start yelling again and scare me. I got used to it though and watched the pretty screen with bright flashing colors. We borrowed Cousin Caden's earmuffs to protect my ears (he got to wear them to Monster trucks). I wore them the whole time and never complained.

Busted!

A few weeks ago (I'm a little behind on my blogging), I got caught playing with the "eyeball" in my room. In the corner of my crib, there's an eyeball looking thing with a bright green light that watches me when I sleep. I finally figured out how to roll over to it and reach up and grab it. Unfortunately, mommy and daddy caught me and moved it to the back corner of the crib that's higher and I can't reach (believe me, I've tried!).
