Growing up fast

I just wanted everyone to know how fast I'm growing up. Mom put me on the scale today and I weighed 16 1/2 pounds. Other than that, I want to tell you a few things about myself. I am now able to hold my head up and that means that laying down is not fun anymore. Sure the mobiles are fun for about 10 minutes, but then it's time for mom to hold me in the sitting position so I can just look around for as long as I feel like. If I don't feel like sitting down, then I will totally stiffen my legs and stand and look around. I wake up every day at 5 o'clock and am up for good around 7. Morning is my favorite time and as soon as I wake up, my favorite thing to see is mom's face and I am all smiles until she makes me lay down in front of my window. It used to be my favorite spot, that is until I noticed how cool everything else looks while I'm sitting up. Notice the trend here with all the I's. That is because I am so independent and I look forward to the time when mom doesn't have to hold me and I can sit on my own and do what I want to do. Dad is still the best at putting me to sleep. All he has to do is hold me and I will fall asleep. I also met my first friend yesterday. His name is Cayden and he is a week younger than I. I tried to show off by talking a lot and I think we will have a lot of fun together. Love all you guys.
