Opening Doors

Just got back from a great trip to the US. I got to see Grandma and Grandpa, go to Reds games, and play outside in the yard a lot. Mommy and I came back early while Marcus and Daddy stayed in the US for a little while longer. While Mom and I were back in Japan, I started saying "Daddy" and "happy". I also figured out how to open the doors in the house all by myself. It's really opened up the environment to me—and made things harder on Mommy and Daddy.

Things I've Been Doing Lately

• Hanging from metal bars at the park
• Opening level-style door handles
• Throwing away my own diapers
• Telling people when I want to go to the toilet
• Trying to put socks and pants on
• Move chairs around to stand on them to get to higher items
