Adventures of a 1 year old!

Adventure #1: Go to the Beach

• Click here: I love to roll around in the sand until I am covered with sand from head to foot!
• I eat sand, rocks, twigs, and other food that has been dropped in the sand.
• Crawl as fast as I can towards the waters edge and dare my mom to catch me before I dive in!
• I Enjoy destroying any sand castles, holes, or human mermaids created in the sand because it makes the ones who created them scream and it fills me with delight!

Adventure #2: Playing in the Bathroom

• Make a mad-dash for the bathroom any time the door is left open...
• Once inside, unravel as much toilet paper as possible and flick my hands inside the the toilet bowl water, while quickly glancing over my shoulder to see if anyone has noticed where I am, and then stick my fingers in my mouth to give it a quick taste.
• Pull out anything and everything out of the bathroom cupboards and drawers at least twice a day. Dumping out the q-tips is the best because it takes the longest for my mom to pick up.

Adventure #3: Coloring

• If people didn't want me to play with markers and crayons they wouldn't leave them out. Good thing my brother and sister like to give them to me to chew on and draw on the floor with.

Adventure #4: Eating

• Now that I've discovered "Real" food, it doesn't make sense to let my mom feed me baby food anymore. Besides, it tastes so much better when I feed myself and squish it in-between my fingers and smudge it all over my face!

Adventure #5: The Pool

• My mom keeps buying me all different sorts of floaters to keep me contained and from drowning in the pool. But, I know I can Swim. Yes, why shouldn't I know how to swim? I watch my brother and sister do it all the time--it doesn't look very hard! All you do is dive in, right?

Adventure #6: Toys

• I know they want me to play with "baby" toys, but I know what the good toys are! Mini Legos and Polly Pockets are much more fun. I just don't know why my brother and sister scream when they see me coming their direction and want to take them away.
• I finally find a toy that I love and, all of a sudden, my brother and sister decide they love it too and want to play with it! So not Fair!
• For this reason, my toy is the wipes container. I could spend hours pulling wipes out and watching my mom put them back in.
  

Adventure #7: Cleaning

• What's the big deal? I like putting the Clorox and windex bottles and sponge in my mouth. I'm just trying to help!

Adventure #8: Climbing

• You give me anything to climb on and I can do it!
• The stairs, my rocking chair, the couch, anything!
• I've also mastered standing on them too, he he he!

Adventure #9: Learning to Walk

• My mom lets me practice as long as I am on soft surfaces, but now I can stand in the middle of the room anywhere and balance for a long time.
• Watch out! I will be running around chasing Luke before you know it!

Adventure #10: Diaper Changing

• I just don't understand why this can't be done on-the-go, especially a poopy one?
• I really hate it when my mom makes my dad pin me down to change me.
