Captain Navy Bean

We had a very exciting weekend.

Saturday, mommy and I went and had dinner with daddy on his ship.

I'd never been on his ship before.

Daddy and I.

Daddy is so lucky:
these microphones are really yummy!

Don't tell anyone,

but I'm sitting in the captain's chair!

Toy confusion

Today I was playing with my toys.

(I have a lot of them.)

I was pulling them all out of my toy basket.

Oh, that one is really down there!

Now, how did that happen?

I'm not a toy!

I miss my daddy!

My daddy's been gone for a couple of days and I miss him!

He plays with me and doesn't even mind when I drool on his head!

This is me wearing his new hat.
Don't worry if you can't see the hat,
you're not supposed to be able to see it!


This is how I feel when daddy is gone!

boo boo

Now that I can move around on my own,

I can also fall down and get hurt.

I had this bump on my head when mama

got me up from one of my naps.

There's also one hiding under my "bangs."

I probably fell in my crib and hit my head.

But I'm OK, because I'm tough!

I also started crawling this week.

There's no stopping me!

Mama is in big trouble

I am learning stuff faster than mommy expected.

Hmmm, I wonder what will happen if I pull up on this?

Hey, I can't see anything like this!

Guess I'll just have to pull myself all the way up!
Nap time will never be the same again.

Hide and Seek

Mama and I play hide and seek.

She's really good at it!

First I hid with her yarn,

but she found me right away!

Then I turned myself into a frog.

She still found me.

I know, I'll hide in here.
This is where mama keeps my clean diapers.

I'll let you know when she finds me!

7 months

I am seven months old today.

I am a very big girl!

Except that I'm teething, so I want mommy to hold me a lot.

No more baby push ups for me!

Now I do big girl push ups.

I just figured out how to get into sitting position all by myself!

I'm not crawling yet, but I'm close.

I can roll all over the place.

And I can crawl backwards.

Mama says I'm very talented.

I'm starting to feed myself too!

Well, kind of.

I get really excited about holding the spoon and then forget to open my mouth.

I've started saying mama too.

But daddy says I don't know what I'm saying.

Overall (besides the teething), I'm a very happy girl.

Silly times

Mama says I'm in a silly stage.

I make her laugh a lot.

This is the blue ring.

I know this because mama says it over and over and over again.

I think she keeps forgetting what color it is.

Mama and I make funny faces at each other.

I'm just being cute here.
Nothing new.

I've been practicing moving, so mama has been taking more video than pictures.

I can do the worm really well!

This big smile is for mama!

I do my best practicing in my crib.
You can also see my teeth really good.

I didn't pull myself up to get here, but I tried.

And I can stand like this for a long time,

or at least until I forget I have to hang on.

Mama is getting nervous!
