Still not crawling...

...but that's okay! I'll just keep relying on Daddy & Mama to take me where I want to go. I have figured out how to scoot around, so they have to keep an eye on me at all times.

I did have another eventful week. I don't know if you all realize it or not, but I turned 9 months old last Sunday! Now I have been outside Mama's tummy for as long as I was inside. That's pretty cool. Since I am getting so old, I had to have a checkup at the doctor's office on Monday. I weighed in at 18 pounds. Daddy says I'm a little guy, but he's okay with that.

On Thursday I graduated from swim lessons and I became an official shrimp!



Then on Saturday, me and Daddy and Mama went downtown and I got to eat breakfast at Big Ed's! And I don't mean Mama and Daddy ate while I watched, I actually ate! I had my own bowl of apple sauce and a biscuit. Yuuu-uuumy! Then today at church Mama gave me my first bite of a Krispy Kreme donut! If I had known that big people food tasted so yummy, I would have started chewing a lot sooner.
Speaking of chewing, I also developed a taste for Cheerios and cheese this week. Last week I was just playing around with the cereal, but this week I actually started eating it.

I don't know if I mentioned this before or not, but a few weeks ago Mama went to a yard sale to look for toys for me, and she found two big ol' chairs and an ottoman for only 75 dollars. So as a result Daddy has been doing a lot of work upstairs. But sometimes me and him get to relax a little bit...

Finally, I found two new hobbies this week - helping Mama cook and waiting at the door for Daddy to get home from work.

I can't wait to see what's in store for next week. Mama's no fortune-teller, but she is guessing there will be crawling and new teeth. We shall see!
