Things I like to do

1. Go out for a ride in my stroller! I get very bored sitting in the house with Mommy all day, and sometimes I just can't be calmed down any way but a nice long walk. I like to smile at people and doggies on the street, look at the trees, and reach out for things that pass by.
2. Try to throw toys out of the stroller. Mommy usually thwarts my plans by attaching them with Linkadoos.
3. Touch Mommy's face. It's interesting to see what she does--- I pull her cheeks, poke her eyes, shove my fingers up her nose, put my whole hand in her mouth, or yank her hair. These activities are all good during playtime, while Mommy is trying to dress me, or while I'm nursing.
4. Take off my diaper. As soon as Mommy gets it fastened and starts trying to put on my clothes, I pull back the tabs. When she tries to put THEM back on, I pull the clothes back off. I like to pull any of these items up to my mouth, as well. Socks and my hairbrush are especially tasty. If I reach down and pull my toes up to my mouth, Mom can't get anything at all on me!
5. Take a bath. I laugh and bounce most of the time, but cry when my ears get washed. I try to get the washcloth away from Mommy so I can suck on it. I LOVE when she squirts me with my tub toys and I stick out my tongue to try to catch the water. I cry when Mommy lifts me out of the tub.
6. Watch the kitties play. I smile and twist around to watch whatever they are doing. When they get close enough, I reach out my hands to stroke them. Mommy helps me hold my hands flat so I can feel their soft fur without pinching them. Sometimes I try to talk to them, and they will meow back at me. Once I managed to meow too, but I can't seem to do it again.
7. Play with Daddy. Sometimes I'm just bored or grumpy and don't know what to do with myself, but when Daddy comes in I get so excited and happy! I squeal with delight and reach my arms up to him. He tickles me, throws me around, and plays silly games. He can almost always make me smile.
