Happy Halloween, Charlie Brown!

Another beach vacation

On this beach vacation, I actually got to go into the water! I didn't like it every time my Mom carried me in, but I liked to sit at the shallow beach end of the pool and play with water.

On track

I'm up to 16 pounds 7 3/4 ounces! I wonder if my sister will still be able to carry me around like this once I get heavier...

14 month update

These days I am more cognitive and deliberate. Nowadays I use a lot of grunts and cries to get what I want, and am more vocal at protesting what I don't like. I shake my head whenever I don't want anything, "wax on/wax off" whenever I see an unwanted spoon of food approaching me from my peripheral vision. The only word I kind of say is still "muh muh".

I am more an observer when I am in a new situation, but do warm up eventually. I've become very attached to my Mom and like her to hold me. I used to be so easy, but now I am starting to make my Mom tired! The thing that hasn't changed is that I'm still super smiley, to people I love and strangers too!
