Hi everyone!

It's me, Skogen! I'm so excited to see you!

Oh, wait. Hold on. I've seemed to have fallen over and I can't get up.

Oh, good. Mommy came to my rescue. For some reason she thinks that it's so funny when I tip over like that, and I don't understand why. Maybe it's because I never let my head touch down and I always stay so stiff.

Anyway, I am so excited to show you the pictures of me and my big sister, Maida, that Mommy took of us after church today.

Here is me and Maida:
I look a little scared because Mommy just asked Maida if she wanted to hold me for the next picture. It might seem like a nice, innocent thing, but here's what happens when Maida "holds" me:
Don't worry. She usually just squeezes my head so hard that my tongue pops out of my mouth, but that's about all.Usually we just have a lot of fun together.

It seems like every time Maida tries to hold me, we end up tipping over because I'm such a big boy, but don't worry, we never get hurt. Maida has enough patting to protect both of us!I've gained more control over my arms and hands now, so I'm able to fight Maida for what I want. Mommy caught us on camera this afternoon when I was trying to get the cell phone that Maida was playing with. Even though I didn't get the cell phone, I would still consider this a win since I took her down, which isn't an easy task for a little guy like me:

(for some reason it doesn't work to click on the picture to make it bigger - anyone know why?)

Thanks for letting me share. I'm sure that mom will post more of us later. She sure thinks it's fun to show us off to all of her friends and family. I have to admit that I like the attention!
