Over the summer I have learned several new tricks... one of which is crawling. It only took me ten months but I finally decided that I wanted to give it a try. I also am very interested in eating table food. Graham crackers are my favorite right now. So far I have tried panckaes, eggs, graham crackers, biscuits, cheese, peanut butter, cranberry sauce and crackers. Sometimes as a mean trick I like to hoard all the food my Mommy gives me in the back of my cheeks. She thinks that I have eaten it and gives me more. A few minutes later I spit it all out at one time and laugh out loud. Everyone but Mommy thinks it's funny. My highchair has become a graveyard for cheerios for when I want to eat them later. Hopefully Mom won't find them and clean them up!

Another trick I have learned is clapping at everything. I love to clap at Collin when he does funny things. I also love to clap when my Daddy plays softball and I see that Collin and Mommy are cheering him on. That is one of my favorite things to do.

Last but not least, I am trying to pull up on things. I have not quite perfected it but I am working hard on it. Don't expect it to happen anytime soon since my Mom is always saying that I don't get in a hurry to do anything. But when I do, Collin better watch out... I am going to be chasing him all over the house!
