TNT... I'm dynomite!

TNT (Today's New Thing... not to be confused with dynomite... although I am pretty DYNOMITE! Hehe!)
I am learning how to grasp onto things better, and now I like to try to hold my bottle when Mommy feeds me. Mommy seems to be a little annoyed by it though... I guess it makes it more difficult for her. I don't get it... how can me helping make it more difficult?! She's silly!

New Thing

So there is a request that I write something on here everyday, so I am going to try by telling you what I have learned new or what has to change because of my ever-growing body each day.

Today's New Thing
Learning how to whine to get Mommy to do what I want. I've been doing it for a little while, but I really perfected it today! I got this face and whimper that really melts her... I get my plump bottom lip out in full force, while making the sadest eyebrows you ever did see. It's golden! Gets her EVERY time!!

"Hi!"

Mommy and Daddy think I am pretty smart because I have been able to say "hi" several times. It takes me awhile to work it out, but I am getting the hang of it. I guess I'm not supposed to be saying that yet... but what do they expect when they sit me in front of Your Baby Can Read every morning... I'm bound to learn something right?! The first time I said it was when Mommy was changing me and Aunt Erica was talking to me. She said "hi" then I said "hi", she said "hi" then I said "hi." Her and Mommy looked at eachother and were shocked that they both heard the same thing! Then last night Mommy and Daddy were amazed when we went back and forth saying hi to eachother. They are faster than me, but like I said I'm a little slow and have to move my mouth several times first before I get the sound out...

Sleeping through the night

Oh yeah... and... I slept through the night in my crib last night. Mommy put me to bed at 9pm and SHE had to wake ME up this morning at 5am. She is waking us up at 5am now because she has to get used to it starting next week to get to Nana's by 6:45am. Mommy is really happy with me staying asleep... although it scared her this morning when she realized she never had to get up last night. Every morning Mommy says, "Gooooood Moooorninnng" and it makes me smile. I love waking up to her voice! :D

Rockin' and Rollin'

Wow... what a busy couple of weeks I've had! I think I met more people than I have the whole time I've been born! (Okay, I know that's not THAT hard to do, but you know what I mean.) I finally got to meet my Grandpa and Grandma Franzen last week! They were pretty excited to see him... and were blowing off visiting with other people to get to see me more... I thought that was pretty nice of them... I guess they must really love me! I know I love them! :D They took me and the parentals to the mall to go shopping for me! They got me lots of goodies at BabyGap! I am stylin' for sure now! (I got these pretty cool shorts that I hear I get to wear this summer in something called a "kiddie pool." If it's anything like taking a bath... I am sure to love it!!)

So I am doing a lot more these days. I am getting much stronger and getting the hang of using these hands! I enjoy jumping in my Jumperoo and watching Your Baby Can Read (those words are so mesmerizing)! Mommy and Daddy are also working to get me rolling over. I can if I get help getting to my side... so I am close... I know it won't be much longer til I get to "rock 'n roll" wherever I want! That will be so cool!

Also... I don't care who knows it... I pooped all by myself this morning!! What a great feeling that was! (I was getting help from Mommy and Daddy everytime I needed to go, which was starting to get embarrassing.)

Because there are SOOOO many pictures from the last couple of weeks, Mommy posted them to her Facebook. So check 'em out there!

SN: This is me and Mommy's last week at home. Next week Mommy starts babysitting over at Nana's house. I hear I will have lots of fun playing with all the kids! I can't wait! :D
