first trip to the pool...

mommy started her summer vacation on friday and we've already been having so much fun! and when she goes back to work, it is only for 3 days a week. so she wants to help me write more in my blogs!

anyway, i have been doing lots of new things in the last month. i have 8 teeth (i got 6 of them all in one week) and daddy brushes them every night, i am starting to furniture walk and to climb the stairs, i love elmo and attempting 'so big', i sit in big boy restaurant high chairs and in shopping carts, i can stand independently for between 5-10 seconds, and i am eating 3 meals a day (and i love baby lasagna!). i can even say "mama", but only when i really need something...

most notably, though, i am getting into EVERYTHING! i have mastered the art of opening drawers to desks and dressers (and i love to throw their contents onto the ground) and opening cabinet doors...so mom and dad have kicked their childproofing efforts into high gear.

in other inaugural news, i went swimming in a pool today! i was scared at first and kept reaching for mommy and daddy but eventually i was a pro! below are some pics at the pool and a few other random ones:

this one is my 'pool hair':

now i'm gonna go watch mommy make some homemade baby food...this should be interesting!
