School's out for summer!

And I have no other plans than to hang out with you! You're getting faster with crawling and you can pull yourself up pretty reliably on a person. You still don't bother pulling yourself up on the couch or anything. You were playing underneath the coffee table today. I think if we ever do bunk beds, you will totally love the bottom bunk.

You've started some new foods. You like carrots and you seem to be ok with rice cereal again. I put some in your squash to thicken it up. You got plums tonight for the first time. It was a little more sour than you're used to. You would eat it, cough, shake your head back and forth, and then open your mouth for more. You did that 4 times and then wanted nothing to do with it. I ate the rest. It was good. Next time I'll mix it with avocado (it will sweeten that a bit) or pears. When you start eating apples or yogurt it will go great with those. Peaches are next on the menu. We've also started giving you sippy cups. You aren't quite sure of them. You have figured out to grab the handles and tip it, but you don't suck, you just chew on the spouts. A few that we own have removable suction things we can remove and it takes away the spill-proofness. Then you actually drink the water, but you also shake it all over the place so that doesn't last long. You think gravity's effect on that is pretty awesome as it bounces off the floor - and nearly Dixie's head sometimes!

I think you're teething again. You are chewing purposefully on things, mostly on the top to either side of the two teeth you already have. You are drooling a lot too. You're cranky and not always wanting to eat.

Your current thing is to climb into the dogs' kennels. I'm not sure what you find so impressive with them but you like them. Pictures to come!
