Happy Father's Day!

teeth and noises

i now have 5 teeth {a new one popped-up on the bottom last week} and my gums are puffy on top where two news look to be on their way.

i have really turned into a jabber-jaw - "talking" to myself with more consonant/vowel combinations than my mommy can remember. i shake my head when i don't want to eat something that my mama is holding in front of my mouth and sometimes even say "na. na." perhaps MOST exciting {for my mama} is that i figured out how to roll my tongue today which it means i'll be able to roll my R's if i ever learn to speak Finnish.

ready to take off!

i'm having a blast pushing things around. at MaTu's house i push my walker around instead of sitting in it to walk...and at home i like to walk behind the laundry basket. i am soooo ready to walk, i'm just working on getting the balance-thing down.

"KING SILO"

This is my Ma-Tu and Pa-Tu and Sister-Rosaline (Ma-Tu's cousin from Thailand). I have been spending my days with them for the past month. Sister Rosaline will be in Minneapolis for one more week before going to Michigan to spend time with other friends and family before going back to Thailand.

Ma-Tu has given me a new nickname (not to replace Silo-corn, but to add to my list of nicknames) ..... "King Silo"

(It really has taken hold already -- my mom thinks it is especially appropriate when going on walks in my CHARIOT stroller!)

my papa

my papa is teaching me about cool things.. like architecture and colors -- and how to play the xylophone (silo-phone) -- which is a lot like hammering -- which ultimately brings me closer to helping him with projects and hanging out in the garage ;)

caught-ya!

my mama caught me in the action of taking all of the books out of the bookcase. i like to move things (push&pull), take small things out or off of bigger things and basically make a mess of it. i am approaching toddler-hood...

memorial day weekend with the KEOs

i had a lot of fun hanging out with uncle sam, cousin marin, cousin allison, and cousin rylan!

like a big boy...only small

i went to the doctor today for my 9 month check-up. i have grown, but am still very small for my age (tenzin has surely passed me up!)

Height: 26.5" (5%)
Weight: 15lb. 12oz. (3%)
Head circumference: 17 7/8" (75%)

I've got a big head - it's my learning engine.

I also have an ear infection....same time as my mommy got sick and missed 2.5 days of work. not sure if i got her sick or if she got me sick (i think it was me) but anyway...i am on antibiotics for 10 days and that should make me feel better. bummer, though, huh?!?
