E9: So big!

I know it's been a very long while since Mae or I updated the blog and I'm sorry, but we have been learning so many new things, and Mommy and Daddy have been so very busy there just hasn't been time.I'm walking now. Well, not all the time, but seven or eight steps at a time. It's kinda scary, because it's not easy. It's really hard to move my feet and I have to remember to do it one at a time. I usually start with my right foot, mostly just by trying to swing it around; once I get started though it's fairly easy.Unless Mae's in the way, when I fall over. And she's in the way a lot. But, each day I can go further and further. And Mommy and Daddy cheer so much when I do it. I love them. Mommy is so good at telling when I'm getting upset and Daddy knows just how to make me giggle.I'm very ticklish and Daddy knows the best way to tickle me. It makes me feel so silly when he kisses my belly and I have to laugh at him. He likes it when I laugh and smile. I also have four teeth on the top of my mouth now. It means that everyone is trying to get me to smile a lot, but I don't always do it. My new teeth are good for chewing. There is a lot of good food to eat now, too. Yogurt is still my favorite, but Mommy has started sharing her dinner with us, so last night we got to have ravioli and broccoli and crab rangoons. It was all very yummy. Tortillas and toast are probably my favorite, though. We have toast almost every day. Mommy also trys to give us new foods every couple days, which sometimes are good, but sometimes are not. I'm also drinking from big girl sippy cups now everyday. I do still drink a bottle, but Mommy and Wendy make me hold it myself now, which isn't as much fun and is hard to get back to my mouth if it falls out. Sometimes Mae tries to help me, since she's been holding her bottle since she was four months old, but I usually just yell at her until Mommy or Daddy moves her away. I can do it myself.Mommy and Daddy keep talking about Christmas all the time. They say we were in the hospital last year so we probably don't remember it too much, but there are lots of pretty lights which I do remember and things called presents. And Mommy keeps playing Christmas music that she gets really excited about when we're in the car. Well, it's time for a nap, so I have to go. Bye bye! I'll try to write more soon.
