My Little Seat

Today I am playing with my Fisher Price Booster Seat. Mama got me this chair so I could sit at the table when we visit my friends. We haven't visited any friends in awhile, so Mama put this chair in my playroom.

I like to turn around, back into the seat, and then drag the tray over to sit on my legs. Then I like to take the tray off and play with the little straps that go together and make a CLICK sound. Sometimes I can't get them open (AH-BOO) and need to ask Mama for help.

I give this chair 3 out of 5 binkys. It is the perfect size for me to sit in, and I feel like SUCH a big girl in it, but I think the chair is to keep big girls like me from falling out of the chair which makes it hard to get out grab a toy, turn around, sit, put the tray on, play with the toy, throw the toy, wiggle out of the chair, get up, and get another toy. Let me know if you want me to come over one day and bring my chair with...then you can sit in it and show me how to get out!

Cow Box

Today I am playing with the Playskool Blockster Cow, otherwise known as my Cow Box.

You can AH-BOO (open) the box from two sides.

AH-BOO the first side, and you see a little cow sitting down below. AH-BOO the second side and you can get your pudgy hand in to wiggle the cow back and forth. He makes a CLICK CLICK sound which I like.

I then like to CLOSE the box on both sides.

Here is where the box becomes NO-NO fun. I can't AH-BOO the box again. I have to give it to Mama to PEEEZ AH-BOO for me.

Sometimes she wants me to try on my own. Sometimes this doesn't make me very happy.

Overall, I give the Cow Box 3 out of 5 binkys. It is REALLY fun to AH-BOO and CLOSE....as long as you have a Mama who can help.

My Chair

My Grama Jackie gave me a big girl chair for Christmas. It came in a BIG box. I liked it right away.

Sometimes I like to read in my chair.

Sometimes I put pretty things on in the chair.

Sometimes I use the chair to help me look at the world around me.

Sometimes I use my chair to reach other things....

....things that maybe I shouldn't have.

And sometimes I like to eat in my chair.

I give my chair 5 out of 5 binkys. It's perfect for all of the things I need to do.

Crayon Bag

Mama loves to color with me. She likes to make pretty pictures with all of the crayons. I usually like to grab a crayon and attack the paper (and sometimes the floor) by moving it all over the place and then running around wildly and throwing it on the floor.

Today, though, I learned how to put crayons in a BAG and then spill them on the floor. Over and over again.

First, you pick up a crayon.

Then, you put it in the bag.

Then, you spill it out of the bag.

Repeat.

Overall, I give crayons 2 out of 5 binkys. I like them, but I'm not very good at drawing with them yet, and I would rather chew on them and they don't taste that good.

I give the Crayon Bag 5 out of 5 binkys. This thing is

amaaaazing.

Necklace

Mama has a lot of pretty things. I like to play with her shoes, make-up, and most of all, her shiny things that go around her neck.

Here is a picture of Mama and me:

As you can see, I'm wearing a very bright and shiny pink string with beads. I love it. I like to wear it all of the time. I like to take it off and put it back on and take it off and put it back on and put it down and pick it up and put it on and pull it off and put it down and pick it up and put it on and take it off.

Overall, I give Mama's bright shiny pink string beads 5 out of 5 binkys. Be careful, though. Too many on at once means a big tangled mess!

Elmo See 'n Say

I was a pretty fussy lady today so Mama opened the Elmo See 'n Say (which I got my from cool Auntie Jen for Christmas) to keep me happy. I probably would have been happy drawing on my face with the blue pen, but Mama thought this might be better.

The toy looks like Elmo ate a huge circle, which is pretty silly at first, but then you get used to it. Ah-nie, Beht, Ab-bee, and Elllmo are all in the circle. When you put a piece in the right place, Elmo talks and sings to you. I played with it a lot today. I am pretty good at putting the orange circle over Ah-nie's face and then finding him again. I clap my hands when I find him.

Mama is really happy that I like this toy so much, but there are a couple of things she doesn't like. First of all, I like to walk around with the little pieces and I drop them wherever I happen to be. She doesn't like stepping on them. Also, Elmo is pretty LOUD. He sings and laughs A LOT and she can't find the "be quiet" button.

Overall, I give this toy 5 out of 5 binkys. This toy is awesome...I just have to make sure Mama helps me find all of the pieces before I lose them all.

Sock Monkey

I like to play with a lot of different toys at once. Mama and Dada have toys all over the house for me to play with. Mostly, I like to play with things that aren't my toys...like credit cards, lip gloss, dee-vee-dees, and pictures. But. Every once in a while I really, really like a toy.

Today I am playing with my sock monkey pop-up-and-almost-scare-me-most-of-the-time-but-then-make-me-giggle box that Auntie Jen gave me for Prezziemas. I'm 13 months old now and most things don't scare me. I'm actually pretty brave. But sometimes this monkey scares me. You turn, turn, turn the handle and it plays music. THEN. A sock monkey POPS out of the box! I like to say "bye-bye" and push him back down. Mama then turns the thing and makes the music play...sock monkey pop out...sock monkey go away...turn, turn, turn...sock monkey come out. It's pretty fun.

I give the sock monkey pop up toy 4 out of 5 binkys. I really don't think it's meant for someone my age...so the turny thing is too hard for my small [pudgy] little hands to turn. That's why I have a good Mama to do it for me. Just as long as I say PEEZE first.
