no one told me that crawling had so many hazards.
my head is covered with bruises.
my nose hurts from face-planting.
my knees are rubbed raw.

and yesterday...i lost my pants.


oh...and here is my morning hair.

some of you may still think I am still just mimicking my parents, or perhaps that I haven't yet discovered my "own" voice and personality.
this is because you don't live with me.

proof that you are wrong.

that's right folks...i'm 8 months.
in honor of it all, here are 8 things about me that you may not know:

1. i mimic. slapping the table...spitting
2. i shake my head, though i don't really know what it means (parents think it is funny...especially when i do it to strangers when they smile at me)
3. mom told some of you that i army crawl...that is almost true. it actually looks more like a fallen soldier crawl. i use one arm and the opposite foot to push me ahead, thus i move at an angle. too bad Halloween is too far away...i would make a great zombie...
3. i like to scare people.
4. i no longer have a bald spot, and my Mohawk is coming along nicely.
5. i like to chew on my two pointer fingers. but just those ones. and no sucking--just chewing.
6. i like eating Kix.
7. my favorite toy is a set of stacking cups. i like to push the stacks over and scatter them everywhere.
8. some kids are afraid of vacuums. others spiders. not me though. i'm afraid of drive-throughs. i guess we don't eat at McDonald's enough...

here's to the first 8 months!
