Teeth?

Mama and Papa think I'm cutting some teeth. What do you think? 

You can't believe your "I"!

I'm grabbing onto my "I". 

Something's Fishy

Today we went to Richmond Beach and hung out in Shoreline. Bert the Salmon said "Hi!" at Central Market. Papa made sure that Bert didn't eat me.

Grabby Yoshi

This week Papa bought Yoshi some link letters. They're lightweight plastic shapes that help babies learn to grab. The light weight helps when the baby bashes the toy against their head. When Marissa was a baby, they had link fish, but they don't make those anymore. We've made Yoshi two letter chains: Y-O-S-H-I and T-A-K-E-N. There's only one of each letter, so we're short an 'O'. I spent the week teaching him to grab the letters. This consisted of prying the right fist open and jamming the letter into his momentarily open clasp. Today is the first day he grabbed onto the letters himself. NOTE: We're not trying to make him right handed, its just that he's always sucking the left fist nowadays, so I just work with the right.


Here he is grabbing the 'N'.

Woof!

I'm in my cute suit from Auntie Marnie.

I'm getting some sun

Hangin' outside watching the grass get cut.

Handle with care.

Aunty Betty sent me this cute hedgehog suit... now I am finally big enough to fit it! (10 weeks)

I Found my Finger!

I'm just lookin' cute here.

All smiles

Happy times with Mama!

Waving to my admirers

Today Yo unclenched his fists a little more. It's good since he won't gather as much lint in his grubby paws...
