From where I sit

What a busy time it has been the last couple of months! I've logged nearly 1000 miles in my MMS - Mobile Moose System (please, don't call it a "baby seat") - going from South St. Paul to Alexandria for Daddy's ordination and back, and then from South St. Paul to LeMars, Iowa, then back to South St. Paul with Mommy to surprise Aunite Ninja for her birthday, and finally home again to LeMars.

Yes, I did say "home".

While I will always have fond memories of Mim and Poppi's house as the place where I was born and got my start (and this blog), I'm nearly seven months old now and it's time to move on. Mommy and Daddy and I have a huge new house. It's so big, I even have my own room!

I also have a place at the table where I can sit in my floating high-chair without anyone having to hold me up. This also makes it easier for me to feed myself. You probably saw the photo earlier where I was holding my bottle myself. Well now I can pick up vegetable puffs and even get most of them into my mouth! (All this typing has really helped my dexterity!). Meanwhile, Mommy has been feeding me sweet potatoes, pears and other nums, including my favorite - oatmeal and banana! Mim served me some lentils with curry and coriander and those were really good, too - but nothing prepared me for when Poppi gave me a little bit of his muffin the other day. Hoo-ahh! And you can quote me!

Anyway, we're here, we're mostly settled, and most importantly, we've got wi-fi! Just last night, in fact, Mommy "Skyped" Auntie Ninja. That sounds painful, but it's really a good thing. Skype allowed Mommy and me to see and talk to Auntie Ninja, Mim and Poppi - even though we're more than 200 miles apart. That seems normal enough to me, but some have told me that this is a remarkable new development.

Wow, floating high-chairs, Skype, what next? Oh, yeah - where's my SmartPhone?
