five months old, and ready to take off running

yeup, that's me. five months old yesterday. when i lay on my stomach, i grab with my hands and lift my bum up so i can get my knees under me. so far this has only resulted in me planting my face on the carpet, but i'm telling you, i'm going to figure this out.

this last month i've been so busy. too busy to update, really. i mean, what with my hands and my feet and rolling all over the place, who has time to type? and of course, there's the pesky teeth that my mouth keeps trying for. they hurt, you know? but i know my mommy and daddy understand that that's why i'm so cranky lately. i just don't know what to do. i put my hands in my mouth and then my fingers hurt instead of my gums. or on top of them sometimes! it's confusing.

we've been really busy, with softball and parties and father's day. father's day was great! i got to do a bunch of new things that i had never done before, like go down the slide, and sit on a teetertotter and i stuck my hand under this water thing my mom called a sprinkler, and grandma put me down in this prickly green stuff called grass, and i even got to squish some flowers in my hands. it was pretty nice. i liked it.

mommy has taken some video of me shrieking and some of me laughing. hopefully soon she'll post them.

i have lots of pictures to show everyone. are you ready?

i like when mom and dad play on the floor with me.


mommy wanted to eat my feet, but that's my job!



i got some new aunties on the weekend. auntie bernadette and auntie richeille.


five months old!



see salinger over there? i love him. whenever i can see him, or the other cats, i smile the best i can, but they don't seem to know the rule that when i am cute, people must SMILE AND COO at me. jeez.



and these are from father's day:





this was daddy's toy when he was a baby:
