Milestones

As this new year chugs ahead at full steam, I'm taking the opportunity to grow and learn as much as possible! I must say, this "Earth" place is pretty cool.

At this point in my life, I'm quite aware of the fact that everyone else has toes - just look at the name of this blog. However, you may not believe this, but I have toes too! They're close, they move, they tickle a little bit, and they feel cool. I'm glad I have toes. I was actually starting to worry that I may not have any. Alas, one day last week they popped up, and we've been good friends since.

Toes are just the beginning. I also rolled over from my back to my front. In all honesty, I was actually trying to get away. Mom was getting me ready for bed, and I wasn't terribly tired. Like I said, this Earth place is cool with lots of stuff to see and do. So I said to myself 'self, let's get out of here.' I made it on to my side and I noticed Mom and Dad freeze. I froze for a second as well. They didn't say a word. Perhaps I was caught. Was my number was up? I don't know. But they didn't move - they just stayed there. As I weigh my options, I figured it was now or never, so I committed. I now find myself joyfully on my stomach and clearly out of reach from the hands that wish to put me to bed. However, this is apparently a big deal because Mom and Dad broke from their frozen silence and started making loud noises with their hands and mouths. This outburst, of course, made me "soil my fresh diaper" and I started crying. Not to worry, Mom and Dad quickly consoled me and I was back to my ebullient self. When all is said and done, all the commotion took some energy. I, therefore, ended up going from bubbly to snoozing in no time.

Oh gosh. What else is there? Ah yes. No need for me to describe this milestone. I'll let this picture do the talking:
