Green beans, printers, and shoes

So, I have found a food I do not like. Green beans. Momma keeps giving them to me, but no way. Give me my peas and carrots and squash! Chicken noodle soup is another favorite. Momma is going to make me some homemade soup this weekend, and store it for me, so I always have it for school if I want it.

Crawling is very exciting, and I have really mastered it over the past week. Daddy has had to put up gates and those are very fun to find and try to stand up on. But, my favorite thing to pull up on is the printer on the floor in Daddy's computer room. I know that Momma and Daddy put toys in there for me, but the printer and cords and electronic stuff are SO much more fun!

Daddy had to lower my crib, but that's ok. I can still see my stars on my the ceiling and love on my blankie, and then I go right to sleep. Momma said she never thought that would ever happen.

So, I want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to lots of my family! My Grandmommy and Auntie Hannah's birthdays are today! Hannah turns 21 (which I am told is very important). Momma says I can't say how old Grandmommy is. It is rude to talk about big people's ages.

And my other aunt, Aunt Kim, has a birthday on Friday. Happy Birthday to her too!!!

This weekend is going to fun...It's Momma's birthday on Thursday, and I want to do something special for her. And then we are going to the Harvest Wine Festival on Sunday and Monday. And maybe a party at a friend of Daddy's on Sunday. It will be a busy weekend. But I will get to see lots of people!

Oh, and Daddy says he will make a video...But he still hasn't. So I think people have to email him and tell him they really want it :)

Love to everyone! Big Charlie kisses and hugs to all!

PS--Shoes are the best toy ever! I love to chew on them, even if they are on people's feet. Though I don't have any shoes of my own yet. So, I have to just find Momma and Daddy's.

Not much new is going on with me. I am now sleeping through the night, and not eating anymore in the middle of the night. Momma stopped coming in when I cried on the night before I turned 7 months old. I was just so used to her coming in to pick me up, so I cried real hard that night, but since then, I have been sleeping pretty good.

I have another tooth coming in, so it hurts sometimes, but not too bad. I am pretty close to crawling, which is really neat. Then I will be able to get to my cat brother Clyde, with NO problem. Right now, I just swat at and grab at him when he walks by.

Last weekend, we went to see some friends at their house. Momma said on the floor with me while we ate, and I got to try some apple sausage and guacamole. The guacamole was GOOD! Momma says she is going to try to get me some avocados so I can try them. I ate spaghetti the other night and it was alot of fun throwing handfuls of spaghetti off the table. Momma is sighing, so I don't think she had nearly as much fun.

We still haven't moved, which is fine by me, since I would rather stay in my room as long as I can. Momma cuts on my ladybug at night and it shines stars all over the ceiling. I like to watch that while I fall asleep. She says my friend Rubygail gave it to me. I remember that because I know that Ruby likes ladybugs.

I get real excited when I see Momma and Daddy now, and jump up and down where I am sitting, and wave at them when I see them...It's fun to wave!

Momma says we have two trips coming up. One is we are going to see my grandparents, ALL of them, back in South Carolina. I will get baptized in the church where Momma and Daddy got married. And then a month and half later, I am going to Virginia to visit my great aunt Donna and great uncle John. I am excited about that. Lots of plane rides!!!

Well, I gotta go! I love everyone...Sending smiles and hugs to each of you :D
