Back to regular programming...

Hello dear readers. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've been super busy. Well, that and Mommy has been way too busy to post. So what have I been up to lately? Well, let's see...

We went on a 24-hour vacation to Kansas City in July and I got to take my first swim in the swimming pool at the hotel. Mom and Dad bought me this cool crab to float around in and now I don't want to go to the pool with "Crabby." I'm already a pretty good kicker in the water. Dad thinks I might be the next Michael Phelps. I told Daddy that was silly. I'm not a boy. I'll be the next Natalie Coughlin or Dara Torres. The only problem is I don't think they allow inflatable crabs in the Olympics.

Here I am in my pretty swimming suit. I picked it out myself. Crabby is in the background.



We also went to the Kansas City Zoo on our vacation. Here I am in the stroller with paci. I watched the seals do tricks in the water, but after that I decided to take a nap while Mommy and Daddy pushed me around the zoo.



My Aunt Chelsea came for a visit and watched me while Mommy caught up on her work. We had a great time. Aunt Chelsea got me hooked on country music videos and MTV. I had so much fun that I didn't want to go back to Mommy and Daddy in the evenings.



I've also been having lots of fun reeking havoc in my house. Here I am in my Bumbo unrolling a whole role of paper towels. I have also pulled the kitties' fur a few times.



Speaking of kitties, it's a lot easier for me to catch them these days because, guess what? I. CAN. CRAWL. That's right. I'm a lot faster and always have my eye on Gooseyard and Callie. Getting kitties is my business now. I also have found their mousies on the floor and Mommy found me the other morning with one in my mouth --- just like Callie. I figure if Callie can play with my toys then I should be able to play with hers.

In other big news, I have a new house! We moved and in between houses stayed in this nice hotel. I got to swim in the pool with Daddy and Crabby, and made friends with a nice lady named Maria in the dining room each morning. She's a pretty cool lady. She even sang happy birthday to me on my 9 month birthday.

I'm settling in to the new house pretty well. Mommy and I spend a lot of time together going for walks, swinging in the swings on the neighborhood playground, going to the library, playing with bubbles in the new back yard, drawing masterpieces with my new crayons and having drumming concerts (empty pasta boxes make great drums).

Well that's all for now. Seeya later alligators.
