On the move!

The grandparents are coming the grandparents are coming!!!  By the end of this week my grandparents from Georgia will be hear and will be staying for two weeks!  This will be the third time I have seen them in my almost 7 months.  I am very excited to see them and do a ton of things with them.  Matthew will have kindergarten so I will have them both to myself.  I believe people call that "spoiled".  YUP!!!!

So my top teeth are in fully in which means I am WAY more comfortable with everything and chewing is fun!  I love to bit on and into everything that I can get my hands on.  One of my favorite things to do when eating (besides blowing bubbles and the food I am eating everywhere!) is to bit into the spoon.  My dad doesn't think our little game of tug of war is all that funny, but my mom is smitten by anything I do so that is my green light to continue!  With my teeth fully in I am getting back to sleeping 9 - 10 hours at night.  I also think it has to do with my parents letting me play for those 1 - 2 minute breaks I take in the night.  Since they don't come in anymore, I figure it is back to bed.  Oh well.

So did I ever mention that YAYA is awesome!  My Yaya, not Matthew's, mine.  She takes the absolute best care of me during the day.  We play in the mornings, take walks in the afternoon, and she knows just the right time for me to nap.  This week I only have 2 days of Yaya... which I am sad about, but then again my grandparents are coming!  Only 2 days of Yaya in October and 2 in November.  What a bummer.  Why you ask?  The old man is taking time off of work to stay home with me in October, November and December.  Let me ask you who you would rather have change and feed you... a sweet and gentle Yaya or the rough and unpolished Steve Daniels.  Exactly!

I am officially on the move!  My parents call it scooting, but I call it crawling.  I am mobile so you better watch your stuff.  This guy absolutely has no idea about consequences or falling objects or pulling things off shelves or even what NOT to put in my mouth, but either way I am going to learn!  My parents were obviously caught off guard and weren't ready for me to be so quick to move around or they would have prepped the rooms for me.  I am finding all sorts of things!  Did you know that DVD's can fall down?  Or that a tiny gum wrapper under the couch is the perfect choking hazard?  Or that my fingers are just the right size to fit into the heat register?  Yup, in just one week I have learned about all the trouble I can and WILL get into!  This is going to be great!

So my other grandmother, Butter, has been hanging out with us a lot lately!  I love it when she is over.  We always seem to have more fun when she is around.  When she is around we do things like visit Oktoberfest festivals or go hiking to see waterfalls or just sit in seats on the driveway and watch people go by.  She takes really good care of me and has a knack for knowing when to take me out of my mother's hands just when I need that break!  She is special!!! 

Well that is about it.  Matthew had his big birthday party last week.  A bowling party.  Did I get to join in?  No!  Did I get any presents?  No.  But I did get attention from everyone at the party, so I will take that anytime!  On Friday I will be 7 months!  7 whole months!  This is just going by too fast... and if I am thinking that just imagine what the parentals are thinking?

With Love,
Colin
