You have been clapping and waving bye-bye for a few weeks. You also have been pulling yourself up to standing. Just starting to cruise a little, taking a couple steps.
We've been giving you a little bit of grown up food, but not much.
Wyoming Trip
5/23/09
We headed out for our Wyoming trip, got a later start than we expected. We had so much stuff, mostly yours, of course. The car was full.
We had to change a poopy diaper on the way. We ended up chaning your diaper outside on the grass at an LDS church.
We got to Alpine around 4p, it was really windy. Jill and Jerred came and brought Walter. We got some cute pictures of the 2 of you together. Jill and Jerred announced that they are having another baby in November.
You played on the floor and ripped apart some magazines. You did not sleep well in your pack n play.

Headed to Riverton to see Grandpa Curly and Grandma Helga. You did ok in the car but started screaming when we were going over the pass. I think your ears were hurting and we were not prepared so we didn't have anything for you to suck on so your ears would pop. I ended up sticking my finger in the nipple of a bottle and letting you suck on that for a few minutes, It helped a little, but then I think you just got mad that nothing was coming out. We finally made it to a gas station and got you a bottle and you did much better after that.
We got to Curly and Helga's around 4p. You played on the floor a lot there. Helga gave you a stainless steel bowl and some wooden spoons and spatulas, you seemed to have fun with those. Bindi, their dog, licked you a lot. You played with the dog kennel and JC Penney catalog a lot.
Again, you really didn't want to sleep in your pack n play and ended up sleeping in bed with us.

We were headed home this day. We changed a poopy diaper before we left so I thought we were clear until we got home. We didn't get very far when I could tell that you were pooping. I wanted to stop somewhere that had a "family restroom" in case I needed help. But, we ended up stopping at McDonald's. When we took you out of the car and got you inside I could tell that you needed a change of clothes. Frank was going to use the restroom and then go out and grab some clothes for you. I went in to change your diaper and thought I'd come back out for the clothes. I went into the handicap stall and put you on the changing table, but when I started to pull down your pants I could tell that this was going to be a 2 man job. But when I went to leave, I was locked in the stall. This was a nice bathroom with sold wood doors, door knobs and door jambs. I kept turning the knob and the lock but couldn't get out. I asked if anyone else was in the restroom but no one was there. I was trying to figure out if I could crawl under the door with you, but I just couldn't figure out how that would work. I was probably only in there for 10-15 minutes, but it felt like forever. I tried pounding on the door and kicking it, but to no avail. Finally, I was playing with the door knob again and it popped open. I ran out of there so fast. Frank was waiting for me. As soon as we got outside I burst into tears. Then I was laughing at myself for crying. I insisted we find someplace else, I was not going back into that restroom. We found a visitor center down the street. Unfortunately, they didn't have a family restroom either and they didn't even have a changing table in either of the restrooms. But, since nobody was there, we all went into the women's room and just changed you on a mat on the floor. You were screaming and I was worried that the employees there were going to think that we kidnapped you. After that it was pretty smooth sailing the rest of the way home.
While we were there, Helga took me to Walmart to shop and ended up buying you a bunch of books and toys. Then she took me to the Wind River Casino for a little fun.
Your top tooth started coming in. You were grinding your teeth and I was trying to figure out what was crunching in your mouth.
We stopped at Stephanie's for dinner on the way home. You pulled yourself to standing and you were hanging on to a cooler that had rollers and you started walking and pushing it around. Ever since then you have been pushing and walking with your alphabet train.

Today was your baptism with Anna and Kristi as your godparents. We gave you a bottle when mass started and you slept through mass until we had to go to the baptismal font. You woke up when the priest poured the water on your head, but you didn't cry at all. Everyone thought you were very cute. Grandma Julie, Aunt Toodie, Big Granny, Booker, Blair, Jeff, Toby, Grandpa Frank, Elizabeth (Tyson), Greg, Kyle and Grandma Beverly were all there. Jess came to the BBQ but Grandma Steph and Grandma Donna had forgotten :(.
