Hello everyone! I had a long afternoon today! But boy did I have fun! I got to play with Rob and Will for 2 hours during soccer practice. That's always fun. Aunt Sherry got smart and brought a blanket to lay on the ground so I can actually have some room to stretch! Rob showed me how to crawl! I know how to do it now, but it just won't quite work yet! I'll get it though! Pretty soon, Aunt Sherry won't be able to keep up with me! Me and Rob had a bunch of people around us looking at us and saying how cute we were when we were holding hands. I guess we've decided to go public! Rob's a nice boy, and I like his mommy too. I could wind up with worse in-laws!

After soccer, we headed out to the football stadium. Jon Jon and his band played a bunch of songs. Jon Jon was the biggest kid on the drum line, so he had to carry the big bass drum. That thing was almost as big as him! But they sure did good. They marched onto the field at halftime and played 3 songs. The other team's band got to go first though, and they really were better. Their football team beat us too. The other team's band was actually marching in different formations, and played a lot louder. The had a bunch of kids with the pretty flags and batons too and our band doesn't have any. Jon says that we don't do all the stuff they did until high school. Aunt Sherry says that's because they have a better funded and better directed band program. They always do well at competition.

The best part of today was that I stayed awake and happy through the whole soccer/football evening! Some friends of Aunt Sherry and Uncle Jason were sitting behind us, and Mrs. Nancy held me for a while. She kept telling me how sweet I was. I growled at her and it made her laugh. She said I am a ferocious little thing! I was just playing with her, I love to make people smile and laugh! I think she was just playing, I think she knew I wasn't growling because I'm mean, I was growling 'cause I just learned how! I think she knew that, 'cause she laughed every time I did it.

Oh boy, time for bed. I'm a tired baby!
