How we spent the 1st full day of Summer

Mommy apologizes for not posting an update at 11 months; in her defense I keep her pretty busy. Here are a few new highlights:
* I have a few consistent words in my vocabulary: duck, out, hot, Mama & Daddy. My Mommy always puts her hand up to her coffe and says "hot", therefore, I thought I would do the same. "Fish" does have an interesting "thish" sound but the attention/giggles are such positive feedback.
* I will surely touch your nose or my teeth when asked "where they are", as well as tap my head when asked where my hat goes.
* I continued to have little to no interest in a sippy cup so Daddy bought me a toddler cup with a built in straw. I heard the buzz of concern in me figuring out the straw but HAHAHA, it took me all of 2 minutes. Today I drank about 4 ounces of water.
* I am eager to try any food you want to share with me, a few faves are grilled cheese, cut up pieces of banana, watermelon, apple, mango and canteloupe, baked potato, peas, roasted asparagus and steamed broccoli. I enjoy goldfish crackers and cheese for snacks too.
* I crawl at 100MPH (or a little more :)) and I cruise all around anything that will give leverage. I have let go a few times in the last few days but stood very still. I have attempted several times to use Luey & KoKo as support but they are simply uncooperative. Speaking of my dogs, they are fleeing for their lives. :)
* I continue to enjoy my swim lessons and just started a new gym class.
* Daddy just babyproofed the family room for the 3rd time. I assume you are puzzled by this, as was he. The babyproofing apparatus is no match for me, I simply pull it off and throw the pieces to the side often after snapping it in half. Speaking of snapping things in half, you will notice in the pictures I am wearing Daddy's sunglasses, which I snapped in half once done with them.
Well, that is about it for now, but as I understand it big things are coming up in the next few weeks. The pictures are from yesterday when Mommy, Daddy and I took the ferry from Bridgeport to Long Island New York. Mommy was very amused with the fact that we ate at a restaurant in Chandler's Square. I myself enjoyed the enormous rubber duckies. I did indeed get to bring one home.
