I love my hands! I discovered them several weeks ago, but I have completely fallen in love with them over the past week. They are soft, scrumptious, delightful morsels. They make me salivate and coo with pleasure. However, like any love affair, there are some limits: try though I might, I cannot fit both of them into my mouth at the same time, and I’ve learned it doesn’t feel good when I shove one too far back into my mouth--gag me with a finger!

When I was born, my legs were spindly sticks. Now, thanks to a healthy diet and regular exercise (bicycle legs and wiggle worm are my favorites--best done when my parents are struggling to change a dirty diaper), they are like tree trunks, strong and stout. I’ve become very fond of practicing my standing. I can balance myself for a millisecond when my parents move their hands, and I enjoy leaning against things, although it’s not long before I’m slumped over. Nonetheless, little by little, I’m determined to improve (baby steps, right?). After all, I have a goal to meet: Mom was walking by 8 months. I’m sure if I keep up this pace, I can beat her! I made my first pilgrimage to Willow, Alaska--my namesake--for Christmas and New Year’s 2009. I got here by taking my first flight (more on that in my entry “First Class All the Way Baby”). Then, we drove for an hour and fifteen minutes to Willow. It seemed like a long way, but it was worth it. On my first trip, I found that much like me, Willow is small and cute. Other than seeing Bibi and Babu, the high points of the visit were getting to play in the snow (more on that in my entry “Snow Angel”), seeing Denali on a clear cold day, watching fireworks on Florence Lake on New Year’s Eve and like my parents, doing lots of sleeping and eating. |
AUTHORWhen I first started posting, I was a highly intelligent and exceptionally cute infant and the milestones were coming fast and furious.. These days, I'm a precocious nearly 5-year-old and my babybook blog has been retired to serve as a window to my early years.. Archives
