More Firsts

Hello Everybody! I hope you are doing great. I know I am. You know why? Because, I'm growing up!

I'm in a big girl car seat now. No more infant carrier for me. Do you know what that means? That means I get to sit in the grocery cart and sit in high chairs when we are out and about. Mommy says it adds a whole bunch of new challenges, but I think it's great (except when I'm sleeping and have to be woken up to be taken out of that darn thing). Mommy did lots of research to find the safest carseat and because it is so safe, it is quite a fandangled contraption. I'm sure I'll have it broken-in in no time. It's amazing what a little drool and spit-up can do.

Also, I'm crawling. Not the on-all-fours with my tummy off the floor mind you, but the using my arms with all my might and dragging my lower half across the room like I'm in the military crawling. Hey, it works. Lucky is not enjoying the fact that I am more mobile, but it's not my fault that her tail fits perfectly in my hand and I just want to give it a little tug. For most of my toys, that's what I'm supposed to do, and isn't Lucky my toy too?

I also went to my first Aquafest parade.

I loved the marching bands and did not like the loud trucks. Mommy's friend, Pat, organized the parade and she did a fabulous job!

Some other big news: I slept away from home for the first time at Grandma Mary's. I did great and so did Grandma Mary (mommy and daddy made it through - although by 9:00pm they were ready to get me back).

Well that's all for now.

Love you lots,

MaryAnna Mae
