It's late so this will be a quick one (sorry!) A few new updates with me this week: It's official, I'm a crawler and a climber! I can crawl pretty much anywhere, if I'm pursuaded enough or if I see something I really want. Otherwise, I'm not too interested in crawling because I'd rather be standing and taking steps while holding onto something! I pull myself up onto everything!!!! No really, everything! A few examples at my house are: the stair railing spindles, the ottoman, the TV stand, the coffee table, my changing table, the rocking chair, my crib, my dresser, the refrigerator, the kitchen drawers. You name it, I've got the will power to try and use it to help me stand. Most things work great, but it's the moveable things that sometimes are a bummer! For example the kitchen drawers. I pulled one out and thought it would be a good idea to use it to help me stand, but little did I know it was going to slide back in while my fingers were on it. That could have ended badly for me, or at least my fingers! BUT...mom and dad saved the day- which they've had to do a lot lately. No more setting me in a room to play and walking out for a few minutes...not unless I'm strapped down or strapped in something:)
I told you last week that I'm eating mostly table foods now. A few of my new favorites that I tried this week are toast with cream cheese and tator tot hotdish (not at the same meal of course!) I've also become better with my sippie cup and I'm more interested in drinking out of it, even when it's not milk! I like water and sometimes watered-down juice.
Well, enough about me...mom and dad want to talk about themselves for a moment:) They went to the Packer game today with Auntie Lori and Uncle Mike. They said it was cold, but 5 or 6 layers and some hand and feet warmers later, they were comfortable and ready to go cheer for the Pack! It was a good game and they had a fun time! Meanwhile, my big sis Sophie-dog and I got to spend the WHOLE day at the farm with Grandma and Grandpa Dummer. We went to church and then hung out and spent the afternoon together playing around!
Here's some pictures of our week. We hope you had as great of a week/weekend as we did! Oh, and to all my friends and family, look for a cute kid (me!) in your mailbox this upcoming week...Christmas cards are on the way!
(Here I am, pulling myself up on the dresser in my closet. Changing me has become an adventure because I roll around and want to crawl away and find something to stand by!)
I'm enjoying my bananas and toast w/cream cheese. Yum! You cant' really tell from the picture, but the whole side of my head and my entire sippie bottle were covered in cream cheese! Clean up time is becoming WAY more work for mom and dad than actually getting a meal ready!
I also have discovered how to use a spoon. If mom puts some food on the spoon for me and sets it on my tray I can pick it up and shovel it ( well most of it:) into my mouth!
Go Pack Go! Dad, Mom, Auntie Lori, and Uncle Mike at the Packer Game today!
Tailgaiting next to the stadium!
The view from their seats...The packers scored 4 of their 5 touchdowns in our endzone so they enjoyed getting to see all the action!
And I'll leave you with this one...
My daddy enjoying his favorite tailgaiting/grilling concoction, the 'bratager' (brat-u-ger) A combination of a full size bratwurst and at least a 1/4-1/3 lb. burger. It wouldn't be a Packer tailgaiting party without one!
(And mom wonders why he plopped on the bed when they got home and said 'I don't feel so good' and is now snoring away!)
Have a great week!
Love,
The Dummers
