Hello Folks

I apologize for not writing sooner. I'm having to sneak down to the computer right now. My mother thinks I'm napping, what a fool. I've been quite busy lately and I'd like to tell you all about it.

I discovered these things in my mouth. My mother is quite amazed that I haven't cried or been cranky doing this thing they call "teething." I am not a baby...really it doesn't hurt at all...in fact they're quite enjoyable. I have two tiny slivers of teeth on the bottom (my daddy calls me white fang). Whenever someone's fingers or face get too close, I take a good hard chomp. I love to watch them scream...they never learn.

I've also discovered that I can get around on my own. I eat everything I can crawl to. Here's a list of my favorite things to eat:

1.Paper

2.String

3.The remote control

4.Fingers and Toes (mine and everyone else's)

5.Cell phones

6.Carpet

7.Apple juice

8.Shoes

9.Green beans

10.The wire whisk

I've also learned some new tricks. I know I sound like a puppy, but I'm actually quite proud of what I can do. I now:

-crawl

-hold my own bottle

-give high fives

-wave goodbye

-chew human food

-escape when they are changing my diaper

-say dada..I know it infuriates my mother that I refuse to learn how to say mama

Farewell my fine friends, until we meet again. If I can figure out the telephone, you may be receiving a phone call from me!

Love the best looking baby in Utah County,

Atticus G. Van Akin

P.S.

If anyone has any good magazines that I can shred, please drop them by. Make sure they are addressed to me so the woman knows that they are mine.
