Last week we had a lot going on. On Thursday we went to the splash pad and park in Fort Wayne. I hung out with Grandma while mom and Joey played in the water and on the play equipment. Then mom let me try out the park swing for the first time. I really liked it! It was nice lounging and swinging back and forth in the cool shade. I even smiled a few times when I got pushed!
Then on Friday dad, mom, grandpa, Joey and I drove to Atlanta, IN for Beckonology Days at Beck's Seed. It is their summer field day and I guess they go every year. As usual, I just hung out mostly in my stroller. We ate lunch and spent some time in the kids area while Dad and Grandpa ordered their seed for next year. Joey and I got ID cards made at Peyton's tent. They have our pictures and info on them..even my little finger print! We were tired and fell right asleep on the way home. When Joey woke up he kept making me laugh! He's such a funny brother. In case you can't hear, he burped and I laughed, then he kept saying "burp" and I thought it was hilarious!
On Sunday we went to southern Ohio to Kings Island. We met the Meyers there and spent the day in the hot hot sun! I got to ride around naked!
I thought that it was much cooler than with clothes on. After it got toasty out mom took me through Spongebob's Bikini Bottom Splash to get wet and cool down. I didn't cry but I stuck out the lip a couple of times. It did feel good to be cool though. At the end of the day a storm came in. It got really windy and the rain was coming down hard. We were under a roof but we all know that I don't like wind! After we left we spent the night at the Meyers house and I got to spend some more time with Austin. We had fun on the floor, but I accidentally rolled on top of him! Sorry buddy!
Today we were back home and things got back to normal. I spent a lot of time on the floor rolling around and practicing sitting up. I even stayed up on my own for a minute or so. Mom ran to get the camera, but by the time she got back from around the corner I had tipped over. I must have been really tired because I couldn't repeat! Maybe I'll be sitting up soon.
I'm trying to get back into baby food again. Mom had stopped making me try it since I haven't been wanting to eat it. I'm hungry all of the time and she says that this food will make me full for longer. I guess I can try, but I just don't like "mixed veggies"! Mom is also on the hunt for my first sippy cup. She says that as soon as I can hold it, I'll be able to drink by myself!
I also enjoyed my bath for the first time tonight. I sat up without wiggling and trying to get out of the tub. Joey was in the big bath at the time and he gave me one of his bath toys. It was fun grabbing at it and splashing in the water.
I think that is about all I have to tell you right now...I'd better head to bed!
Love,
Moxon
It was a pretty hot day, so most of the animals were sleeping. I liked watching the fish in the aquarium best. There was also a crazy gorilla, I hear, but I was sleeping in the stroller as usual!
We left their house late and slept the whole way home.
A sad thing about the new area in my room is that I'm supposed to have my alphabet rug that matches my room to lay on. Mom ruined it when she tried washing it . She washed it more delicately than called for, but it still bleed and frayed that the edges!! Babies R Us said that we can exchange it for another-which is good since I'd like to lay on it and play!
Joey was a little mad at first about me being in his old seat, but he'll get over it. (Actually he's making me laugh in this picture...you'll read more about that in a bit!)
Mom said that it is ironic that I was wearing this outfit for my first time in the chair. She has a picture of Joey at pretty much my same age, in the same clothes, during one of his first times sitting in it too!
When we're home Mom sets up some shade for me under Joey's picnic table umbrella and I stand outside in my walker. I'm also starting to walk my walker!! Mom had better get the baby gate for the deck steps and have dad get the one on top of the basement stairs. No huge hurry though. I can just barely move on the kitchen floor and I don't think I'm nearly ready for carpet yet! The walk-around entertainment table is really fun in the basement too. I get to walk around that sometimes and I'm good at it. Mom has been making me be on the floor a lot though so that I can get rolling over down pat. I'm beginning to sit on my own now too. I'm not that good yet, but I'll keep practicing. Joey likes to be on the floor with me and he has figured out how to make funny faces/noises that make me laugh. He thinks it's funny, and I think he's nuts!
Today we had a play date. Austin Meyer and Sophie Kleber came over to play with me and Brady and Emma were here with Joey. We had such a good time. 
We played in the basement for a while, everyone ate lunch, and then we played out in the back yard. Mom made me some shade with Joey's umbrella and I stood outside in my walker and watched Joey and Brady play in the frog pool. It was a really nice day.
After everyone left Joey and I were in the bathroom getting ready for bed. I was laying on the bathroom floor waiting to get changed while Joey was in the tub. Mom went to get my jammies and when she came back I was doing a push-up on my tummy! She missed me roll over, but I DID IT!!! All I heard all day was her telling the mommies that I have been trying to roll, but I'm too fat to get all of the way over...there mom! I was too cranky to do it again after bath time, but maybe tomorrow. 
Anyway, I get up onto my side a lot, but haven't gone all of the way over. The other day mom got me on my side and then I went the rest of the way. She says that it doesn't totally count since she did half for me. I'm still going to keep working. (have you noticed my "evil" look in some of these pictures? Mom is in trouble!)
