18 weeks

Hello, friends! I am 18 weeks old now, and I can do all sorts of cool stuff, especially with my hands. I can bat at toys, rake the lawn, and I'm just starting to reach out for my mommy, especially after I don't see her for four days. By the way, I'm pretty proud of myself for not totally freaking out when my mommy left (and on my four month birthday, no less!). Fortunately, Grandma stayed with me, and she's pretty rad so I didn't mess with her too much (protesting mommy's absence for maybe an hour a day seemed only fair, right?).

Anyhow, I have lots of skills right now. Like breakdancing. Or at least looking awesome in a breakdancing outfit.

And I talk a lot. Chitty-chat, chitty-chat. I can drop a dope "ah-ah ah-boo gah" better than a six month old. I even started screeching this week. I'm not mad or anything; it's just for fun. I just like to see how fast the adults will come running. Then I reward their effort with a smile.
