Just prior to my 1st birthday, I have many more exciting past-times to report. I am currently enjoying stacking blocks on top of one another, and inside each-other. I like to push buttons on my toys to turn them on and off - especially my singing monkey (who I sing with on an on-going basis). I can't get enough of sliding the light switch up and down to turn the lights on and off (a special talent I developed just in time for Earth Day!). I also take great leisure in biting and hugging the faces of inanimate objects. Did I already mention that I relish in taking the lids off of containers and trying to put them back on again? Well, with that also comes emptying the containers and beginning to fill them back up again. I also use said containers as drums, and when they're not around, I get a kick out of using my lap. I'm still taking great pride in my ability to make my famous "Chucky Face, " as well as my upside down smile. I enjoy catching bubbles and staring at the stars in my room. I love singing and dancing with my Mommy, being thrown up in the air by my Pop-Pop, and hanging upside down with my Mom-Mom. I like nice, long walks on my street with Daddy. He takes me to see all of the locals and they OOOOh and Ahhh all over me. One local lady just made me a huge plate of Oriental dumplings! With all of that, I have to say, one of my current favourite things to do is to stand (hide) behind Mommy's back and see if she can find me. I like to sway one way and then the other so that she can see where I am. It's a ton of fun! Speaking of a ton of fun, blanket rides are a ton of fun!
Oh, and by the way, in case you didn't know, I'm giving out kisses now, so you can begin to line up. They're only 5 cents each. The only person I don't charge is Mephisto because he's not a person and he doesn't have any money. I actually enjoy kissing Mephisto because he kisses my tongue with his tongue. I give him 5 cents from my RESP every time he lets me kiss him (don't tell Mommy or Daddy about the RESP part). Mommy and Daddy think I'm gross, but I think it's more gross that Mephisto recently licked the poop that burst out of my diaper and onto my back!! ...Don't worry, I haven't kissed him since! BUT, I have been in the steady practice of licking each stair as I climb them.
Okay, there are a few more things I want to mention before I sign off. I'm currently pointing at everything in my line of site, and opening and closing doors. Last night, I actually closed my bedroom door on myself and got left in the dark. Not fun! I enjoy dancing by wiggling my body, stomping my feet, and shaking my head back and forth. I'm also in the practice of standing for longer periods of time, and it's only a matter of building a little more confidence before I'm walking on my own! When I feel like it, I say "Mom," "Dad," "Mom Mom," "bye bye," "hi," "sit," "what," "dog," "duck," "quack," "book," "Mmmm good," and any other words I feel like repeating out of the mouths of my elders. I'm also very good about picking out the books I want read to me, and handing them to Mommy. Well, I think that's about it. Whew! That's a long list, but now you know about most of the things you just might be missing!
