Messy Eater

Lately, I've been sporting a bib whenever it's time to eat. That's because mommy and daddy say I make a mess when I eat. This picture is nothing. Sometimes I even have a serious milk beard when I'm done. Laugh if you must. It's not easy eating from a bottle, especially when I'm super hungry and milk leaks or sprays from my mouth. Occasionally, I eat so fast that it goes down the wrong tube and I gag. Mommy keeps telling me that I don't have to eat so fast because there's plenty of food. I can't help it though, I just really like to eat.

Me and My Hands

I recently discovered these things at the end of my arms. Mommy and daddy call them hands and fingers. I'm fascinated by them! Sometimes I like to grab my hands and interlace my fingers, like I'm plotting some master plan to take over the world. My favorite thing is putting them in my mouth. I'm not talking about a couple of fingers. I like to try to put my entire fist in my mouth. I haven't succeeded yet, but I keep trying!

BTW, does anyone know what "warms" are? Mommy and daddy say I have those instead of wrists.

Play Date with Edison

Today, I had a play date with my buddy Edison. We were born on the same day!

I've actually had quite a few play dates with him. Sometimes Tachi gets to have a play date with Buttercup and Muffin too, but that's only if we're at our house or go to Edison's home.

What do we do on our play dates? Well, most of the time we just sleep or eat while our mommies have lunch and talk about us. I never understood why mommy called it a play date when there wasn't any play part of the date. Mommy told me that one day I'd understand why it's a play date.

That day must be today! Edison and I were both awake for a while and got to play on his play mat. He has a cool turtle mirror that hangs at the center of his play mat and lots of other toys I can swat at. Thanks for sharing, Edison! Next time we can hang out on my play mat. :)
