Biting for Attention

Hello everyone. I grew another tooth today. My parents were completely oblivious to it this time though. I had to bite Dad for him to notice that I left 2 marks on his thumb. Dad says I've been a handful. I don't know what that means, but I can crawl really fast now and I know that if I just wait 'til Dad turns around I can get the leaf/kleenex/rock in my mouth. I do all sorts of fun crazy stuff too, like make funny noises.

I had a pretty exciting weekend. We went to a family reunion (Mom's side) on Saturday where I got to play with my cousins. I like to climb up onto picnic tables. Come to think of it, I like to climb on everything, stairs, legs, arms, boxes, luggage, faces... everything. Anyway, my cousin Katie brought me lots of squeaky toys to play with, including a little bear. I had lots of fun chewing on them and throwing them on the ground. I had loads of fun on the playground too. Katie took me on the slide and Dad pushed me in the swing. I can't wait 'til I'm a little bigger and can start climbing on it.

From there we went to Aunt Jessie's cabin with Grandma Ackland, Katie, and of course, Aunt Jessie. Uncle Dean and my Grandpa couldn't come so I'll have to visit them soon. I crawled around on the deck, pulled window cranks off, and played with Katie. We didn't go out on the boat this time, but we did swim in the lake twice. I had a lot of fun and was really glad that Aunt Jessie invited us. Thanks Aunt Jessie!
