I learned it by watching you, Dad!

2009-10-07T17:09:00.000-07:00

I watch Daddy a lot, so when he does something, I have to do it too. Here I am learning to drink Inca Kola, only Mommy made sure there was none in there so I would't get hyper later.

I got my first taste of ice cream and chocolate. It was extremely good and now I try to steal some when ever Mommy or Daddy is eating it.
