I got a hold of Mommy's apple core today and went to town. Up until now, I've only gotten to eat fruit that's been either pureed or cut up into pieces for me. I wasn't quite sure about it at first. I had to study it a bit, figure out my angle of attack. But once I knew how to approach it, that was the end. Having a big piece of fruit on which I could chew on from which I could suck the juice was just about heaven as far as I'm concerned.
Today my friend Tara and her mom came over to play today. Tara is a lot younger than me - she is only eight months old - but she's really cool. And she is talented, too! She can pull herself up - a skill I only recently figured out, and it's still a struggle for me - and she crawls like nobody's business! Still, since I'm older, I had a thing or two to show her. I showed her all the toys in my toybox. I think we're going to be great friends and play all the time when we both learn how to walk and talk a bit better!
