I'm getting old!

Tomorrow I'll be nine months old. It seems like years since I first got here, but I guess it really isn't. Lots has happened lately, though. Mommy dressed me in an orange basketball outfit, then took pictures of me sitting with pumpkins. How embarrassing! Halloween was last week, and mommy put me in a deputy outfit and she & daddy took turns taking me to houses in the neighborhood. They started singing some song about "Yeah yeah yeah" so I sang it with them. They laugh when I do that. I didn't get to eat any of the candy because I didn't have any teeth yet, so I gave it all to mommy & daddy. I think it's gone now.

Speaking of teeth, I has one now! It finally broke through Wednesday night on daddy's finger, but mommy saw it first Thursday morning. Now I can start eating chicken instead of those icky peas and squash. Boy, I'm glad that toofer is here, cuz it hurt coming in!

I'm still exercising. I like to lie on my back and when mommy hands me my ball (it's about as big as my head) I hold it in both hands, then use my feet to hold it, too. Then I let go with my hands and start rolling it around with just my feet. Daddy thinks I'll be an acrobat someday... or a soccer player.

Also, I started rolling again. Two months ago I was rolling front to back, but Wednesday I started rolling back to front, mainly so I could reach over and try to play with the doggie. It was MUCH harder. I also started waving hello, but I haven't got that goodbye part down yet.

Finally, I'm staying up later at night now. All the good TV shows come on after my usual bedtime, so lately I've been awake until 9 or 10. At least that way I can sleep later in the morning, and that way mommy & daddy aren't as cranky when they wake up.
