I’m learning to climb stairs these days. And I have to do it on the front steps so that I can show off my cool Hawaiian duds to all the neighbors! (Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Scherba!) What with all this practice, I’ll be ready to climb stairs in Hawaii (Mommy? Daddy?).
This morning, Mommy and Daddy and I went for a hike around the neighborhood. This is the “before” shot.
There is no “after” shot, but Daddy was a bit more tired, I think. The view is great from back here! This backpack contraption is pretty cool. Maybe one day we’ll go for a hike in those hills behind us. What do you say, Daddy? Daddy?
I’ve found that sometimes the best toys aren’t “toys” at all (much to the chagrin of new parents M&D). For example, the cat dish (sorry, Atlas) makes a wonderful sound when it crashes on the floor. And the door stop stick is just good for carrying around. And the rug can be appreciated much better when you can see (and feel) both sides, don’t you think?
This time Daddy actually managed to get the pulling up part on video, so I thought I’d share. Now if I could just work up the confidence to walk off without holding Mommy or Daddy’s hand!
There’s a race that’s run every year in San Francisco called ‘Bay to Breakers‘, where contestants run across the city from the Bay side to the ocean (Breakers) side. M&D shot this training video of me:
(Ed. Note: If this video doesn’t make sense, please visit the Bay to Breakers link.)
My new top teeth are rapidly making their appearance. I’ve got a new skill now: flashing the toothy grin! (Oh, and having enough hair so that it sticks up is good, too.)
…at least according to the tulips and daffodils. Mommy’s hard work is paying off in the form of pretty flowers which I love to grab! So this is what “Spring” is, eh? Lemme at ’em, Mommy!
