Don't box me in... I can get out :-)

I'm moving around a lot now so my folks are looking for ways to confine me for short periods of time. I'm pretty easy-going and humor them a lot by just hanging out quietly in my crib or playpen, but when Mama put me in this box I had to make it clear that it just wasn't an option... but fun to play in nonetheless.

I get around.. and around!

I'm almost 8 months old and have been crawling for a little over a week now. Didn't take long for me to get it down. Last week Mama almost cried (happy tears... I don't get that yet... anyway) when she walked in the door from work and I started crawling towards her. I do that all the time now when she or Dad walk in a room and I'm hanging out on my playmat.

Mama took this video today so you could all see how agile I am... yep that's right I said 'agile.' I like my books. I couldn't decide between the Book of Colors or Circus McGurkis.

Have a great Memorial Day weekend! xoxox ESM

Gami has good reflexes!

Xylophone Lessons with Gammy from Elliot Starling Murphy on Vimeo.

Here I am showing my Gami how to play the xylophone... i get a little excited so she had to watch that she didn't get whacked in the eye. We both avoided injury and had a great time! XOX Thanks for playing Gami!

Something old and something new...

This is the "something old," when I was very little I liked this sling a lot and now my folks have rediscovered it and made some adjustments and I like it all over again... and it's bouncy!

And the "something new" is my new mat that I can crawl around on. I'm getting really good especially when I'm really motivated... like if there is something on the mat I want to put in my mouth :-).

Ga, Blah, Da, Da, Da, Ga

...and that's all I have to say about that!
