still learning

i'm 11 months old now, which is very nearly grown up. i've learned some new stuff this month although there are still a few things in life i haven't quite mastered.

i've realised that actually mom's cooking IS better than the stuff that comes out of jars. while mom appreciates the vote of confidence it does also make life a little difficult when we're going out somewhere and i refuse to eat anything.

i've learned that sharing can be fun, except when dad nips your finger with his teeth. when the rice cake gets really soggy and yucky you don't have to eat it yourself, you can give it to mom or dad to enjoy instead.

i've discovered that if i really wriggle i can escape from the straps in my stroller and stand up on the seat. this is likely to induce a heart attack in parents though, so don't do it when they think you're sleeping.

i've suffered through two colds in less than a month which has left me somewhat sleep deprived due to my coughing, and with snot all over my face, hair, clothes, bed....i don't LIKE having my nose wiped, OK.

i've been liberated by my toddle truck except it doesn't always go in a straight line, and when i hit something it just stops. where's the reverse gear on that thing anyway?

i'm very frustrated by the need to stay still when having my diaper changed. why can't mom and dad just get on with it? surely three seconds is long enough.
except for the diaper changing above, i've realised that the bathroom is absolutely the best room in the house. i'm not too sure about lying down in the bath these days, but if i splash enough with the cloth most of the water leaves the bath tub anyway. it saves dad having to wash his clothes, too. mom and dad got a lock for the toilet, so i can't play with that anymore, but they DO keep forgetting to put the loo roll out of my reach.
