Well, this David character has been around for a week now and it doesn't look like he's going anywhere. If anything more and more of his stuff keeps popping up places so it looks like he is sticking around for awhile. Last night I decided I really need to kick into big brother mode. After my nap I went over to my books and read it to myself. I had aunt Suzy cracking up because I would read to myself and then laugh before I turned the next page. Then Grandma put me in my highchair to eat dinner. She just put the plate in front of me and gave me a fork. I just started scooping the food right in my mouth with the fork. I'm a hungry boy. I don't need to wait around for these adults to feed me.

David is getting baptized on Sunday. I have a fancy new suit to wear. I'll try not to drool too much all over it. Dada and I have a game. Dada says, "Slime. Slime." Then I dip my hands into my drooly mouth and go and touch something. It's great. Dada and I also play "The Claw" game. He grabs me by my legs and dips me into my toy bin and I grab out a toy. Then he dips me back in and I grab another one. I love all of my games with Dada. Someday I'll have to teach them to Day-did.

Take care,

Adam

Well, life around the Dobbs house is awfully interesting these days. I spend a lot of time contemplating how I feel about this David character. He has been home for four nights now. Mommy looks a little more tired these days but she seems happy. Daddy is always on his computer so nothing has changed there. My eye teeth are finally breaking through so I have more chompers in case I want to bite anyone (umm..I mean anything).

Mama will ask me "Where is David?" and I will point to my brother and say "Day." I like the fact that David comes with so many toys. They are fun to try to sit in and collapse.

Okay..it's getting close to nap time for me.

Grandma is at home watching me today. She keeps telling me that David is coming home with Mama and Dada today. I don't know who this David is, but I suppose we have spare room in Leonard's cage or possibly one of my toy bins. Dada stopped by the house today and picked up my old car seat. I don't know what he's thinking. I won't fit in that anymore. These crazy parents.

I went to the hospital yesterday to visit mommy. She was just lying around in bed. Is that all she's been doing these last couple of days? I was okay with it though because her bed had all of these fun buttons that I got to push. It was great. There was also this little thing in a blanket that would move occassionally. I poked at it a couple of times and then returned my attention to the buttons. Maybe Mama's bed's name was David. That would be cool if she brings those buttons home.

Love,

Adam

Aunt Suzy, Aunt Sarah and Chris (aka DC) left a few days ago. I was very sad to see them all go. It was so much fun having an entourage the last 2 weeks. There was always someone at my beck and call. And they took me fun places too. We went to the zoo and to the children's museum. I had SO much fun at both. I laughed a lot at the Tiger at the zoo. He was the best playing around in the water. The children's museum was a blast. There were all of these toys everywher and they let you play with them too. I got to play with a larger than life Lite-Brite and be inside of a bubble and go down a wind tunnel with goggles on. GREAT STUFF!

Anyway, as my aunts were trying to distract me with these outings they couldn't fool me that something is going on. Aunt Suzy was putting smelly stuff on my walls one day and Nanny Lois had to put me in a crib in a second bedroom. Hmmm..where did this crib come from? I didn't realize I had a backup. Then after the smelly stuff went away there was a lion and a leopard and a panda and birds looking into my crib. Where did they come from? I guess they were lonely and wanted to hang out in my room. I enjoy pointing at them and making the "Tsssss" noise (okay people..I can only make the snake animal sound). The next day I noticed that Aunt Suzy was putting smelly stuff on the second bedroom walls. These were much more boring than my exciting animals, but i went in there to check it out and there were all of these multicolored squares on the wall next to the spare crib. Hmmm....what is going on?

Now I suddenly have this new toy in my crib. It has Agu in it and a fish and bubbles and blue dim lights and plays rainforest noises. I like to contemplate this toy at night and turn it on and off before bed. But, then I heard mommy tell daddy that she hoped I wouldn't be mad when they move my toy to the other baby's crib. What other baby? Hmmm...I am getting very suspicious.

I am continuing to get more teeth. I'm getting some pointy ones now. I'm going to have a full set of chompers ready for this "new baby" if it tries to take any of my toys.

When daddy came back from his bike ride tonight we started wrestling on the floor. I get so excited when daddy plays with me. I start running away from him and after a few tickles I scramble over to mommy and practically climb onto her head trying to escape daddy. That daddy is so fast he gets me every time. I'm also really enjoying walking these days. Mama and Dada are so proud of me that I don't give up so easily anymore. I'm still very cautious about the steps I take but I do prefer not to have to get on my hands and knees anymore. (Mama doesn't keep the floor clean enough for my liking).

Okay..back to bed.

Love,

Adam (the "best" baby in this house)
