Dancing and Clapping

I LOVE to dance!  (Sorry about my mommy's silly tunes.)

Here are a couple of my other skills.  I can clap my hands and wave!  In this video I am saying "bye" to my Daddy.  I am also clapping for myself in the video.  "Yay for good crawling!"

The legs are finally cooperating!!

I finally really crawled for real (for more than a few feet)!!!

Bath Time Fun (and More)

On Saturday I decided it was time to move out of the duckie tub and into the big girl tub!  It's so much fun!  There is so much room in there to move and play!

I have bath toys, but I mostly love playing with my water scooper and washcloth.  Washcloths are soooo yummy!!!

After I get all clean I like to wash off the bathtub.  

"Mommy, don't you have anything better to do?"

Playing with my favorite bath toy.

Tee hee.

Don't I look like I'm having so much fun?

 (You can also kinda see all of my 5 teeth in this picture...)

Here are a couple of pictures from play time on Saturday morning: 

An almost-split.

See the look of concentration on my face?  It's hard work to pull this buff body up to standing!

8 Months Old!

I am 8 months old today!  Can you believe I'm getting so old?  So much has happened in the last month.  I celebrated my first Halloween, played at the park in the wonderful fall weather, perfected my "army crawl," learned to pull up onto my knees and all they way up to standing, and much much more.  I even got baptized on Sunday.  I have enjoyed my 8th month!

Playing with my awesome airplane.

Pushing my airplane ... learning to walk!

At church last Sunday for my baptism.

Right after my baptism (I got to go up and down the aisle to see all the people).

I voted! ... and I learned how to climb!!!

Okay.  So, really Mommy voted, but I went with her (that counts, right?). 

 After all the days of crazy lines and everything, we got to the polling place and walked right in without standing in line at all!  Mommy had brought about 12,030,981 toys for me to play with, but I didn't even need any of them!  What a fun time I had going to vote in my first presidential election!

In other news ... 

I'm learning to climb!  I pulled myself up in my crib the other morning.  I found out that if I pull myself up, then put my foot on top of the bumper, I can get a little higher ... at least until the bumper starts sliding down.  I can't crawl yet, and I definitely can't stand up or walk by myself, but I can pull myself up and I am sure that I will be attempting to escape from the crib soon!

"Hello!  I see you!"

I thought it would taste like marshmallows... (not so much)

Halloween parties on Wednesday

Wednesday was a fun day of dressing up and going out in my Halloween costume.  First, I went to school for the costume parade.  I was the cutest ladybug!  

Mrs. Angie pushing us in the stroller around the school for the parade...

Then I went with Daddy to his work for trick-or-treating.  It was fun Daddy-Daughter time.  I trick-or-treated and got Mommy a bag of skittles, because I could only carry one thing!

This just in (literally)!

I now have another new tooth.  This puts my tooth count at FIVE!!!  Mommy and Daddy spotted it at lunch today as I was chewing on my fingers instead of my mixed vegetables.  :)

P.S.  I had fun today at my school Halloween parade and at Daddy's Halloween celebration at work.  Pictures coming soon!
