Happy's log: My milestones

Today marks the beginning of month 10 with mommy.  She was listing all my milestones since coming to live with her and so I thought I'd share them with you all now.  Mommy really should have been writing this stuff down as it was happening but I guess she was a little occupied with other things.  She apologized to me about it today.  But honestly, I don't care.  That what my portion of this blog is all about... bragging about myself.  So here goes:

First 3 months together:

*gave up wobbling and learned to walk with confidence
*became attached to mommy
*cut 5 teeth
*learned to dance to Lady Gaga and Justin Timberlake
*started babbling like there was no tomorrow
*became obsessed with Yo Gabba Gabba

Months 4, 5, & 6 together:
*moved into a new house
*learned to climb out of my old crib--promptly got a bigger one!
*started saying words in Kiswahili like "hapa" and "asante"
*Got a few more teeth and started really enjoying ALL solid foods
*learned to appreciate a bubble bath (at first I was scared)
*started running
*perfected snobery!
*discovered that I am an excellent traveler and enjoy bus rides!
*started identifying the dogs and sign language for different animals
*fell in love with my baby dolls.  Mommy says I'm a good mama to my dolls.
*learned how to brush my teeth
*Dr. Matthews helped me to not have pain in my ears anymore!
* Mommy says I have an accurate diagnosis now... I don't know what that means but what I do know is that those horrible ladies stick needles in my arm and take out my blood.  I don't like that! I am very afraid of doctors and nurses now.

7 months together to the present date:
*can completely feed myself
*can take my dirty dishes to the sink
*I undress myself and put my dirty clothes in the basket w/out mommy even telling me to do it.
*I throw all my own trash away
*I know how to get tissue and wipe my eyes when I cry and blow my nose!
*I love saying "here" and "bye" in English
*I started saying "mama"... but then I quit.  Mommy's still sad about that.
* I say a lot of words in Kiswahili--- most of them mommy doesn't know!
*I have all my teeth now.  Four were hanging out for months but they finally broke through!
*I love to skype and dance for Bibi and laugh at Auntie Sara.
* I can crawl out of my big crib too... but I don't do it unless mommy is awake.
*met my baba.. but lost him a month later
*I point to bellies with babies in them and say "baby".  Mommy told me to "shush" once.  And then she and Auntie started giggling.  Something about that lady not having a baby in there or something.  I don't know. It looked like a baby was in there to me! 
*I am an excellent stirrer.  I help mommy make pancakes every weekend.  And i always say "UM!"  because they are so good.
*I love lotion and I can put it on myself! 

There's the rough recap of my first 9 months with mommy.  Nothing too exciting.
