Beautiful Day!

The weather was really nice today! So after my nap Mommy and I went for a walk. I made my first trip to the mailbox walking all by myself. My boots made a little clip-clop sound and I stopped every so often to watch the water trickling across the driveways. I didn't go into it, even though I love water!

I started swimming lessons with Daddy. We have gone three times now and each time I have more fun than the last. Maybe one of my parents will actually remember the camera sometime! William gets a turn in the pool after my class. He doesn't even need anyone to hold him. He swims with noodles and plays catch with Dad. Mommy plays with me and feeds me snacks while we watch. My favorite thing about swimming lessons is all the balls to play with! While I wait for William and Daddy to get showered and dressed, I can usually find people in the gym who are playing ball, too. I recognize the sound of the bouncing balls and search for an open door to the gym. I like cheering for volleyball and basketball best.

My seventh tooth poked through about a week ago. It hasn't been followed by #8 yet, which is a first for me. All my other teeth have come in pairs. So now I have four on top and three on the bottom.

I'm starting to communicate a lot! Tonight I signed, "Please, please, please" for William to share his fruit snacks with me. And when he did, I signed, "Thank you!" What good manners I have! Later I saw Daddy's picture on Mommy's computer by his blog entry and said, "Dada!" Some of my other favorite signs are telephone, hot, ball, all gone, eat and drink (which look the same), cat, fish, and waving hello or bye-bye. Other words I say are bottle, Belle, Mama, Will, ball, all gone, there, hungry, and boo!
