It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ...

... me ... up in the air really really high ...

Avery practicing flying

I thought I should get in some practice before my first ever big flying trip this weekend. We're going to my great gramma's birthday party this weekend where instead of driving (which by the way, I have completely mastered now), we're going to fly ... I'm not 100% sure what that really involves, but it sounds so exciting!!!!

Plus, I'm going to see my way fun great grand-ma-ma ... it's her 90th birthday, so she's the oldest person I've ever met ... that's 4,680 weeks old ... holy cow!!!! And it's a sleep over party ... yeah!!!

I can't wait ... it's going to be so much fun ... yeah!!!

'Crazy Legs Chair Dancing'

Since I'm still unable to walk, I try to find all sorts of ways to entertain myself so I don't get total bored and go insane. I should be walking soon enough though ... when researching it on google it says not to worry, that I'm still just too young and it takes time to build up the muscles in your legs.

Anyway, this is my latest form of entertainment ... it's called 'Crazy Legs Chair Dancing'. Give it a try ... I'm trying to start a new dancing trend ... hopefully all the kids will be doing it soon enough!

My first piece of jewelry ...

... and it looks just like Carrie's necklace in that "Sex in the City" show (except with my name instead of hers). And there's even a heart at the end of my name!!!

Grandpa went on a big trip to Italy and just had to get me a fancy fancy gift!!! Now I just need to get the right pair of shoes to go with it ... I think these brooke heels( http://www.heelarious.com/brooke.php ) will match perfectly ... what do you think?

I feel like I'm King Kong!!!!

I finally did it ...

I've been trying to grab at these toy animals that swirl around my head for months and today I finally did it. I swatted them down just like I was King Kong swatting down a bunch of airplanes.

Guess that means I'm getting bigger and bigger and bigger!

I can't get no parental attention ...

Sometimes I just get so mad that if I don't do something about it, I'm going to totally explode ...

What's been frustrating me lately is that Mommy and Daddy have been dumping me more and more in the crib to just 'play on my own'. But really, if they don't give me a proper full time audience, how will they be able to appreciate every great cute/funny/exciting thing that I do? I really do not know what is wrong with them lately ...

Anyway, to keep myself at peace, here's my most recent venting ... I wrote a new song ... it's inspired by the Rolling Stones song "I Cant Get No Satisfaction" (hear it here: http://music.yahoo.com/Rolling-Stones/I-Cant-Get-No-Satisfaction/lyrics/58867057 ) and it's called:

I Can't Get No Parental Attention
_____________________________

I can't get no parental attention,
I can't get no parental attention.
'Cause I yell, and I scream, and I cry, I don't know why.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm ditched in my crib
and my toys just start flying all around me
and Mr. Frog keeps tellin' me more and more
that I need to be a nice quiet baby
and I'm suppose to just play all by myself.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no parental attention,
I can't get no parental attention.
'Cause I yell, and I scream, and I cry, I don't know why.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm lookin' out my window
and that baby staring right back at me

tells me it's ok to just hang out with her.
But I don't like that nearly as much
as when I'm with my Mommy and Daddy.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no parental attention,
I can't get no parental attention.
'Cause I yell, and I scream, and I cry, I don't know why.
I can't get no, I can't get no.

When I'm rollin' round the crib
and I'm doin' this and I'm playing with that
and I'm tryin' to just have some fun on my own
but then realize that I need my audience
'cause you know I am this great big star.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say.

I can't get no, I can't get no,
I can't get no parental attention,
no parental attention, no parental attention, no parental attention!

So how do I style my hair around this???

Yes, I just noticed it this morning ... I was styling my hair so I could go shopping with Mommy this afternoon and felt this large bald spot (where previously I had hair back there)!?!? I thought I'm suppose to be growing hair, not losing it!!!

Mommy and Daddy think it's just so funny and laughed up a storm about it ... saying it's only a temporary thing due to me playing around so much while on my back. Boy o' boy, all I can say is that I'll be the last one laughing if any balding starts happening to them as they enter their adventure into old age ... some might even say a little thinning has already started ... good luck with that Mommy and Daddy.
