Week 44-Feb 16-Feb 22-Hi Baby! Now you have two new teeth on the top, which makes four total on the top and two on the bottom, so six. Six sharp little teeth that help you chew your food. We play ball. You pass me one of your little brightly colored plastic balls and I roll it back to you. I can't take credit though. The person responsible for teaching you to throw the ball is Grandpa. He showed you how to throw it to the dogs and how they would bring it back to you. A couple of tries and you were hooked!

When your hat falls and covers your eyes, instead of taking off the whole hat, you can just push it back out of your eyes.

On Sunday, Papa, you, Zed and I went to Mother's Beach in the Marina. It was a cool day, but still so much fun to be outside all together. We put you in a swing in the play area and Papa swung you so fast that your little cheeks were pushed back. I was a little worried, but you didn't seem to mind one bit. Beginning Monday, you have started bringing toys with you on walks, to your naps and when I carry you around. You just like to hold onto something. It is adorable to see this attachment of yours.

You are standing without holding onto anything now. You also have begun scratching walls. I cannot stand this sound. To me, it is the same as if you were scratching your fingernails against a chalkboard. I never stop you though, but it makes me shudder every time.

You have been pulling down the cover of your car seat when we travel in the car. I pull it up to shade your face from the shining sun and you pull it back down again. As long as you are comfortable, its fine by me!

Wake-up time for us has always been seven am, but lately you have been waking up at six. I am sleepy and so is Papa. You, however, are bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready for action. You pull my hair, crawl over Papa and play with you toys. I usually end up getting bonked in the face with them, but can catch a few extra zzz's while you play.

You let me know when you are done with bathtime. You will come to the edge and stand up for me to pick you up. You love bubbles and are fascinated with them! But I don't think you like the sound of the bathtub running. That is usually when you make a beeline for me.
I love you baby!
