Little G Talks (Ok, not really…)

I had so many other thoughts going on in my head yesterday that I missed the opportunity to note Little G’s 8 month anniversary. What kind of mother am I anyway?

Some how I have been blindsided because I have no idea where the time has gone. He’s a growin’ this one, and he’s starting to develop a personality so I thought I would write what I presume he might say at this point in his life, if he had the words…

“So, this a pretty good place to live. I get to roam around on the floor and play with all sorts of things. Except there is this funny, silly guy that is bigger than me that pulls some of the toys out of my hands (quite forcefully I might add), thinking they are HIS toys or something. He does make me laugh sometimes and has a lot to say. As a matter of fact everyone around here has a lot to say. When I get to talk, which I hope is coming up soon, I’m not sure how I will actually get a word in edgewise!

I really like the lady who has the milk, she’s pretty cool. She feeds me other stuff too. I think she finally got the message that I DON’T like to be fed with a spoon anymore. I am VERY independent and like to feed myself, pretty much all the time. I had to cry a lot so she could figure that one out. Geez! Oh, and I like to pull up on things and even take steps with her holding my two hands. Once I get strong enough and have better balance, these people better watch out because I am going to leave them in the dust.

There’s another guy that is quite nice too. He’s pretty tall and has a scratchy face. He likes to snuggle me before I go to bed at night and that is sweet. He and the silly guy seem to like each other a lot. They play and laugh together a lot and sometimes that cracks me up too. I think they are fun to watch, but sometimes I just need the milk lady, you know?

One of my favorite things to do here is to get inside this big white thing that has clear liquid in it and splash around and chew on the toys in there. The silly guy and I do that together and it’s fun. He seems to really enjoy it too.

Anyway, I do like it here, but if I could change a few things I would allow me to play with the thing with the letters on it that has a screen that the milk lady uses a lot. I would let myself play with anything actually. Also, I would figure out some way to get them to quit using that thing on my nose that gets the snot out. I really DO NOT LIKE it!! And, I would make sure there was food in front of me a lot more because, well, I like food.

That’s about it for now. I am growing every day and before we know it I will be walking and talking, so watch out world, ‘cause here I come!”
