9 1/2 months

Here are some cute photos of me over the past couple of weeks. Here I am all bundled up in my stroller wearing my winter hat. I like it when Mama takes me jogging in the stroller. I wave to all the neighbors and their animals. I wave to the construction equipment building new houses. I wave to the houses.

Since Mama started teaching again, I get to be with Barbara Rose every Monday morning. She is one of my biggest fans, and I love her very much. She takes me to the pond and we watch the geese. We work in her garden and take out compost. She reads to me, sings to me and feeds me, with such love and joy. She has two cats that I am fascinated by. I will miss Barbara Rose this December. When I come back to be with her in January, I may actually be able to catch up with her cats.

I went to two events at the Waldorf school recently. I got to see their circus a couple weeks ago and lots of singing today. I loved it. I watched the whole time and even joined in with some of the singing. When the entire audience clapped, I was pretty surprised, and looked all around.

Right now I really love saying "Hi," and waving. Sometimes this sounds more like, "Hiya". I am not discriminate in what I wave at. Neighbors, clouds, candles, and photos on the wall all get equal attention. However, if you are a baby, I will say "hi" to you first. My favorite activity is taking things out. I love to take anything out of anything else until they are all out. Baba's sock drawer is the best. The second best is the basket of winter hats and scarves in the front hallway. I also like pulling myself up on things and standing. Flipping the pages of books is also high on the list. Two teeth came through this week--one on bottom and one on top. So now I have the front middle, one bottom middle and one bottom tooth on the side. Hmmm.
