After overcoming my fear of walking alone, I'm feeling pretty brave. I'm also working hard to make sure Mommy has a coronary!

This picture epitomizes some silly things I've been doing lately. I have spent a lot of time climbing into this rocking chair (it used to belong to both my Mommy and my Grandmama) and rocking all by myself this week. I like to bring a baby doll with me. I rock the baby to sleep, stopping occasionally to give it hugs and kisses or make it walk. This can keep me busy for HOURS. I STILL like to keep a rosary around my neck while I'm playing. And, whenever I see a camera come out, I give my silliest smile, scrunching up my eyes and nose.

So, I've finally given up. Or, rather, I've realized the amazing untapped potential for mischief that lies in bipedal motion. Yesterday while Daddy wasn't paying attention, I just let go and WENT. Boy was he surprised to see me running around the couch without holding on! Since I've been practicing so long, I already have tremendou endurance and skill, so can keep going all day long. I don't even need something to pull up on at all. Watch out, world!

Here I am in a kitchen chair that I climbed into all by myself! I'm becoming quite the acrobat.

Blog looks

Hey, everyone. I am currently toying with the look of Isabel's blog. If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to leave them. I would really appreciate them. I have never learned html, so am kind of going at it blind. Does any one have a good html book recommend? Also, does anyone know how to make the whole background the light green color (there is still a box of white below the right sidebar). Thanks in advance for all your input.

Stay tuned to the blog. I am pleased to announce that those Chubbles are officially walking, and I'm sure there will be pictures up before too long.

Happy dancing baby!

Can I help you with something? I'm kind of busy right now.

For the record

I weigh 23 pounds and am 30 inches tall.

Two things bear noticing in this picture. First, my recent acquisition of a pair of purple butterfly shoes has only whetted my appetite for pretty shoes. I think *these* look particularly nice. Very slenderizing for my ankles. Second, although you should never doubt my devotion to Big Bird and Bear as my preferred bedtime snugglers, I have something new that I prefer to carry around with me whenever possible. Rosaries make the BEST security objects! Mommy and Daddy keep trying to hide it from me, but I always find it. When they take it away I SCREAM for all I'm worth. And who *wouldn't* feel guilty taking an instrument of prayer from a very holy baby?

I'm not too sure what to do with this ball.

This ball BOUNCES when you drop it!

This week I've discovered BALLS! They are so much fun. This one fits right in my hand.

Whoa! This is crazy!

They've come to take me away! Oh no!

Mommy says this is what happens when I'm a bad baby.

Hi Christina!
