Twelve months, three weeks

Hello world!

For a week it was really really warm outside every day. I got to play outside with a nakey bum. It's so much fun to play outside, and even more fun with nakey bum. I want to do it all the time. I was pushing my cart around the grass, and then I needed to pee, so I did. And there was this water shooting out! I was so surprised that I stopped peeing, and the water stopped too! That's when I found out what pee looks like. I watched it finish.

I helped my mama weed the garden. She pulled up weeds, and I put them in the bucket. I'm a very helpful person. Then I saw lots of ladybugs on leaves, and I touched them all with my finger. I touch them very carefully so they don't get smooshed.

One of my favorite things to play is cooking. I don't have any cooking toys, but there's some at baby group, and also some at a museum I went to. I know how to stir and pour and mix. I made pretend tea and put the pretend cake in the teacup.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

My gramma isn't here any more. We're great friends and I miss her. When she first came, I wasn't sure, but later I cried when she left the room--I didn't want her to go. My gramma is the best for playing games in the car.

I'm back in my own room now but I still wake up at 6AM. I think it's because my dad gets up, or maybe I'm just used to that time. I usually go to bed at about 7.30PM, but I think I might like to go to bed at about 6.30. I did it a couple times and it was pretty good.

When it's sunny I like to play outside. I walk around and crawl on the grass and pick daffodils. My mama showed me a ladybug. At first I thought it was candy so I was going to eat it, but my mama said "gently" so I just touched it with my finger after that.

Love,

Franklin

Hello world!

I had a birthday and I'm one. My friends came to my house and played with me, and we ate some cake. I wore a white and gray shirt. There were balloons and toys and babies everywhere. It was so much fun, when they all went home, I had a huge nap.

My gramma is great. She makes a noise then I make it too. Then she wiggles and I squiggle. We played outside today because it was sunny. My gramma walked all around with me. She sleeps in my room and I sleep in my dad's computer room. It's not dark enough, though. I wake up when it gets light at 6 in the morning.

My finger fits exactly right in my nose.

Love,

Hello world!

My gramma is here to visit me. I play with her when we go for a car ride; she sits next to my seat. But at home I like my parents near too. My gramma came before when I was really little. I'm not sure if I remember.

I can walk, but it's kind of scary. I like my dad or my mama there just in case. I crawl if I need to.

I watched another little boy playing on a tamborine. When he put it down I picked it up to try it. It's not so hard! I just hit it like he did and it made a great noise. Baby group changed to let bigger kids come too. There's stuff to jump and climb and ride on now. I like to play with the little kid toys and the big kid toys. It's fun to see the big kids and the little kids too.

I'm going to be one year old. Right now I'm zero years old.

Love,

Franklin
