New Milestones - 7 Months to 8 Months

I am becoming such a big boy - well that is what Mommy always tells me. I have 6 teeth now...4 on top and 2 on bottom. I seem to get teeth all at once and they really hurt me when they come in. I say 'dada' and I wave hello and goodbye. Mommy thinks she hears me say 'mama' when I cry. I shake my head 'no', mostly just to be funny. I am almost crawling. I do an army crawl now on my tippy toes. This month I celebrated my first 4th of July. It was fun even though I slept through the fireworks. I also went on my first vacation to Palm Desert. I was able to visit a few days with our friends 'The Clayton Family' from San Francisco. I got to meet Darrick, Alisa, Xiara, and Malea. It was a house filled with love and friendship.

Mommy spent a lot of time this month job searching. She finally found a job and will be going back to work soon. I will be staying with my nanny Yolanda during the day. I know we will get along well. Although I will be very sad to leave Mommy, I know she has to get back to work. It will be good for us to get a break from each other. At least that is what Mommy is telling herself so she doesn't break down and cry all day long.

I got to spend a lot of time swimming since the weather has been so hot. It is the only thing that cools me down.

Time is just flying by...pretty soon, it will be my 1st birthday!!!

The Lakers won the championship...I think it was due to my Laker gear!
