My BIG NEWS

You friends are good guessers. If you guessed that I was going to have another sibling, well, I'm just not ready to have to give up more attention. If you guessed that we're getting new carpet in the toy room, then you don't know how much my mom does not like to put effort or money into a place she doesn't own.

My BIG NEWS is that I'm wearing panties! No more diapers for me, except for when I go to bed at night. I've gotten two whole packs of smarties in the last two days out of this going potty deal.

Now that I've got this going potty deal figured out, I've had a talk with Baby about going poopy on the potty. I told her if she'd go poopy on the potty she'd get two candies, then I made her practice.

In case you were wondering...

...what I've been up to and what my brother and I look like lately, here's a little bit to hold you over until I share my BIG news with you. If you study my video carefully, you might find a clue.

My video is a little sample of how I spent some of my time today. I was trying to wear a path in the carpet by running back and forth from the kitchen to the living room. This time the piano got in my way on the way back. Taking care of "White Baby" (some people who watch me actually have a "black baby") sure keeps me busy.

Toe TIme

This guy, my brother, likes to chew on his toes these days, even with his 2 new teeth. He's a really long boy (26.75 inches = 92nd percentile), but he has no trouble getting those toes to his mouth. I think he actually likes to chew on them to help his teeth come in. You know what I say about that? "That's Silly!"

He's also 15 pounds and 11 ounces, if you wanted more of his stats. I can't give you the comparison to me when I was 4 months old because my mom's too lazy to go find my stats and has dishes and a list of other things to do. Sorry.
