Palmer's Pen: August 2007

Random Activity

Hi, here I am in my Bumbo chair. My physical therapist says it is good for me. It promotes good posture and I have to use my neck muscles. I am doing pretty well and I really dig being able to sit.

Instead of a bedtime story Dad is counting to me.

My first home!

This is my favorite book. I like that the top and bottom half of the page turn. It is a book and activity all in one!

I still swing but it isn't my favorite thing to do anymore. I am almost too big for my swing. It doesnt rock me to sleep anymore. I weight about 17.5 lbs and am about 28 inches. I had a growth spurt recently and grew a bit taller and thinner.

Peas Wonderful Peas!

After green beans came peas. I like these peas much better than the green beans. I especially like them if they are mixed with a little cereal.

Eri Came Over to Hang Out

Eri came over to my house to play while his folks went to the Harry Potter movie.

We had fun together. I like to watch him and plan my next move.

Is this ok?

I am not sure what Eri is looking for but it sure looks like fun!! Things to looks forward to ..

Standing on My Own

I love to stand. The other day I stood on my own (ok, with a little help form the ottoman) for at least a minute.

Evening Cafe Walks

I really enjoy our evening walks to the cafe. I get to walk in the Bjorn with Dad and Hang with Moxie and Mom.

Green Blicky Beans

I started eating "solids" two weeks ago. First I ate green beans. I thought I was getting cereal and this this happened.

I don't like green beans very much.

In My High Chair

I love my high chair toy. I play with it before every meal.

Brushing My Hair

I like to hold my brush. It is small enough to fit in my hands which is nice. I try and brush my hair but I usually get my face instead.

How did I do?

Moxie Moments

Here Moxie, Moxie, Moxie! Moxie and I have a new relationship these days. I can watch her all day. Well, ok I get bored ,but I can watch her for a long time. She is interesting. She lays there and I talk and talk to her.

Moxie likes to give me little kisses especially on my toes.

Here we are at the cafe in Budoia. the Italian culture loves cani and bambini. When the Palmer family go out they don't know which one to get excited about first.

Side Sleeping

Here I am during my afternoon nap. At 5 mos I prefer to sleep on my side. I am a roller now so I often roll over and sleep on my tummy.

My First Water Bottle

OOOOO this is nice and cool on a hot hot day like today.

What am I suposed to do with it? I am not so sure about this.

First Concerts

Here I am at my first concerts. Can you guess which one I liked the best? My friend Kadie's concert of course! Not only does she have air conditioning at her house but she has lots of cool toys. I did not like going to the Chely Wright concert, sorry Chely. It was too loud for me even with earplugs. It was a free concert on base to support the troops. Mom and Dad thought that was pretty cool so we tried it out. I cried so much I had tears. I don't like going out in the evening very much. I like to have a late afternoon nap and then go for a walk with the family.
