Jacob Andrew and William Colin: April 2012

I'd like to start my 10 month blog by saying that it's not my fault that I'm late with this post. Mommy has been really busy and she won't let me touch her MacBook to type it myself. I'm not sure why she doesn't trust me with expensive electronics.

Uncle Luke, Aunt Stephenie, Finn, Sylvie, Aunt Heidi, Aunt Janet, Uncle Charlie and my Great Oma came to OKC to celebrate Luke and Stephenie's marriage and for my cousin Sylvie's baptism. What fun we had! Mommy also finished her job as the School Coordinator and Co Director of the Oklahoma City Memorial Kids Marathon for 2012. We have been busy people!

Here are a few things I've learned in the past month:

If you want to make a room full of group ups look silly, do "SO BIG!" It works every time. Those big people will do anything for entertainment. My Oma and Opa sure think this is a hoot.
Babbling continuously in a loud voice entices people to babble back to you. I love to say mama, dada, abba, my own variation of Bella, and bye bye. Sometimes Bella runs past me real quick and gives me a lick. GP calls this a drive by and I like to try to say drive by.
I can now cruise from one piece of furniture to another. This skill causes Aunt Jo, Aunt Harriet, and Uncle Joel to applaud. Note to self - I must do this more often to get attention.
I can crawl really fast to get what I want and explore. Current things that fascinate me are: the TV stand, toilet paper, flushing the toilet, putting the toilet seat down (which is more fun to attempt when someone is on the toilet), anything that rolls that I can push around the floor, cars or anything with wheels, and snacks.
I love to eat! Mommy and Daddy have started giving me most anything I want including chili, Oma's minestrone, and of course GM and GP give me lots of Kix. My favorite breakfast is blueberry yogurt. Lentil soup is delicious too!
I love an audience to show off my skills to. I'm such a sweet baby with bright blue eyes and a smile that could melt your heart (so I've been told by my adoring fans).
I am curious, active, adventurous, and loving. My giggles and smiles are infectious.

BIG NEWS ALERT: I'm getting a tooth! It's broken through the gum and it's on the top off to the side.

In other news, I finished Level 1 Parent and Child swim class and will move into Level 2. I love to splash, kick, and sing in the water with my swim friends. I have no fear of sticking my face in the water. I babble to the other kids during class and I always wave bye bye to my classmates.

That's all for now. Here are some pictures from the last month:
