Future Plumber?

But MOMMY...why can't I put my hands in the toilet and splash around?

Let's see here...I think what you have is a faulty flapper? Let me try it out, just to make sure!

Me and my buddy...Grandpa Gardner discussing all the important happenings in the world!

Oh I love my daddy so...he is my best friend!

Greetings everyone! Happy 4th of July weekend! I hope everyone has a happy and safe Independence Day!

Things in my world are continuing to progress and happen so fast! I am currently 9 months old (40 1/2 weeks) and my first birthday is approaching very quick! I have learned to stand up and skirt around the furniture and walk with my "lawmower" over the last few weeks! It is a ton 'o fun! My daddy thinks I will be walking very soon! Again, LOOK OUT WORLD! Mommy has "baby-proofed" most of the house and the parts she hasn't, she shuts the door and blocks me out. What a party pooper! I continue to say da-da and now when I'm tired or cranky, I say mum-mum (mom)! I've also learned to say things like na-na which mom is convinced is me saying no-no! No-no seems to be common phrase around my house these days! I definitely do not understand why I can't play with electrical cords/outlets or try to stand up on the dishwasher door while it is down or play with cleaners or the trash can....I guess one day someone will explain it to me! :) I am fascinated with this big, rubber ball my mommy and daddy got me and I LOVE this big box that our new bathroom vanity and sink came in. I've started eating more and more table foods and absolutely love cheerios, especially when Grammy Gardner puts them in milk and lets them get soggy! YUMMERS! I have also started drinking water and juice and I love apple, pear and white grape juice. My daddy also discovered that I like grape Kool-Aid....LOL! My Grandma and Grandpa Chinn are planning a trip out to see me in July and I am VERY excited to have them visit. It will be so much fun to play with them and show them all the neat stuff I can do. I (we) MISS THEM VERY MUCH!
