Use the force, Luke!

Even Jedis need pacis now and then.

Freddie's Top 5 Favorite and Not-so-favorite Things

Freddie's Top Five Faves:
1. My pacifier...it's all purpose-I can suck on it, chew on it, bang it on another toy to make noise, etc. What more do you want?
2. Getting tickles and playing SuperBaby with Daddy
3. Crawling on top of Mommy and bouncing up and down
4. Eating puffs, wagon wheels...anything I can pick up and put in my mouth myself!!
5. Playing Peek-a-Boo and "So Big"

Not-So-Faves
1. Having my nose wiped or suctioned with that blue thing. I can see it coming from a mile away!!
2. Having my diaper or clothes changed
3. Not getting my bottle the instant that it's made, i.e., the walk from the kitchen to the living room is waaaaaay to long.
4. Having Mommy or Daddy walk past me without picking me up when I'm fussy...How dare you!!!
5. Being in my ExerSaucer for very long. Now that I am on the move, this thing is obsolete!!

Eatin' puffs

I am finally using my "pincher" grasp to pick things up. Here I am eating some sweet tater puffs. I love these things. I do a good job of gnawing them. Mommy has been afraid to give them to me without softening them with juice, but she finally gave it a whirl and I did great!

Hmmm...

Who me?

How big is Freddie?

My new "trick": Mommy and Daddy say, "How big is Freddie?" and then I throw my arms up in the air and they say, "Sooooooo biiiiiiig!!!!!" Too adorable!

Gettin' some tail

Cricket and I have a love-hate relationship. I love her and think she is the funniest thing ever until she attacks me with doggy licks in order to clean the snot, boogers, spit-up etc. from my face. She licks me in such a way that I can't get away from her. My Granny is having a small panic attack as she reads this thinking of all the doggy germs I am getting. Anyway, Cricket loves me too as long as I let her lick me and don't try to pet or grab her. Mommy and Daddy will have to help both of us. Can't we all just get along?

New Car Seat

Here are some pics of me riding in my new car seat. This bad boy is the luxury version. I am super safe and super comfy in this thing. I have a video of me in it coming soon to this blog!! I am too cute in it, talking, showing my little teeth and just being me!!

Table for One

Let me see you clap your hands!

Hi! It's me again!

I thought I should update you on some recent happenings. I am now crawling. I need some more practice to get really good at it, but there's no mistaking it! I can put my hands and knees into motion to actually go forward for a change. I'm loving sitting up on my own too. I like to roll around, sit up, crawl forward, roll around and sit up again. It's a vicious cycle, but I love it!

Another new thing I can do is clap my hands to patty-cake. Well, again, like the crawling, it's not perfectly coordinated...yet. I'm working on it. That seems to be Mommy and Daddy's favorite song because they are always singing it!

I also get very tickled when Mommy and Daddy laugh at me. All they have to do is laugh out loud and I begin to chuckle. They thinks it hilarious and that just makes me giggle more!

Well, I'll get Mom to try to get some video of this stuff for you guys to see! See you later! Love you all. ~Freddie

Love me some bathtime!

I'm tough enough!

I'm a sick boy in these pics, but I'm hangin' tough (as some new kids once said) and playing my little heart out.

Worn Out

Curly Top

Sorry it's been so long since my last post fellas. I've been a sick boy. I went to the doctor last Tuesday with a runny nose and a cough. By the time I left I had an ear infection. I was a big boy and never fussed about it, so Mommy and Daddy never even suspected that. I've been taking medicine since then (which I love) and I'm feeling much better. I went back to daycare today for the first time since Tuesday, so I should be sick again sometime soon. I guess it's like a friend of my Mommy's from school said, "After your child goes to daycare, he'll be able to live in a sewer and not get sick. You either get it now or you get it later." I guess my turn is now.
