I love SPRING!

I'm going to be 1 really soon and everyone keeps telling me how big I'm getting. But Dada actually let me climb the slide and go down a few times. I'm big, right now, not just when I'm 1. I went to Chicago last weekend and met a great new friend his name is Lucio, and we are best friends. He is just 3 lbs less than me, but we both get around at the same speed. We played a lot, do you think I'll get a dog for my birthday? I already know I'm getting a new house this year, so I'll probably have to wait a little bit on a dog. But it was my first word!

TGIF

It's been a tough week. I've been a little under the weather but I still manage to get around pretty well. My dada is back from his ski vacation and I missed him! I like playing with that guy, we play hard. Finally got my car working. Now I can get in and out with out any issues, it's been a tough couple of weeks figuring out how that door worked. Just figured out the best place to work on it and now the fellas and I have it working pretty smoothly. Now if I only I could help Mama's car. The blue car she takes me everywhere in, has a lot of jobs: it's a coat rack, a snack shop, a toy box and hauls me around....we gotta get that thing cleaned out!

I'm back!!!

My mom lost her camera. Well really she left it at the Echo and no one "turned it in". It's been kinda nice she's not flashing at me all the time, but she was really miserable so I'm letting her get some shots now. Mostly because it's been a great, great month. I had ice cream for the first time. Graeter's--I shared cinnamon & pumpkin pie with my dad and mama. I couldn't get enough but again, my dad is not a good sharer. I, on the other hand, am learning to share and practice it everyday. My mom says please, and I give her my toy, then she says Thank You--and in sign language too. We play this everyday and it really makes her smile, so I keep playing with her. My favorite book right now is the Wheels on the Bus from my cousin Freeman, my mama and dada try to hide it, but I can spot it anywhere and like to read it over and over. Since it's been so long since I caught up with you I better tell you I walk around all the furniture and just today took 2 steps without holding on. I also said dog and ball yesterday, well kind of. Today I just said dog a lot, so maybe I really can't say ball. My mama thinks I say thank you and down, but I'm just fooling her. :) My Nana and Papaw are heading to Siesta Key this week and visiting with the Antenucci's...My Grandma is STILL in Englewood, FL and My dada leaves to ski tomorrow morning in Colorado. Maybe when all the people I love get back, I'll walk and show them what they missed. (Because I miss them already.)

1st Ear Infection

I saw the Dr. this week and I didn't have to get any shots. It was very fun, I read some books and played with a lot of paper. And when we left I was able to drink some pink stuff--it's bubble gum flavored and I really don't like it, but I do it nicely. I've had lots of time with Mama and Dada this week. Mama had a snow day one day, so we played lots. And, my babysitter couldn't watch me on Weds. so I got to work all morning at Moore Equipment Co. I was a big helper and recycled lots of paper for Dadadadada. It took my over 30 minutes to get it all organized just like I wanted it. There's lots of things I love right now. I really like to crawl into the bathroom and stand by the tub and knock all the stuff into it--it's loud and fun. I also take the clothes out of the drawers in Mama and Dada's bedroom. Mom likes when I help her clean stuff up. But one of my favorite things is taking hte DVD's over to the DVD machine--Mama does not like it when I do that. Skyping is something I do almost everyday too because I'm so good at using the keyboard on this computer. I talk to my grandparents and Aunts & Uncles and it is fun. My mom's good friend left for Singapore today. So now I can skype with her! I sent her a picture this week with my new jersey--her favorite team. And my tree farm friends leave next week too. I'm going to have lots of Skype friends!!! Ok, I just got real tired...ni-night!

I'm on the MOVE!

I like to move it move it! I'm busy all the time now and can explore and move everywhere--and I love it. Today I went and played with my mom's aunt and her cousins. They played with me on the floor and I had a great time. But tonight I played with my dad and we were every where in our house. I'm going to walk soon....I hope my mom's not mad! I'll show you as soon as I do, but for right now, you can watch how big I am riding a bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mobile!!!

I've been extremely busy since I've been on the move. I started crawling on Dec. 13th but that only got me around the living room. NOW, I can go everywhere. I visit the bathroom, and play in the kitchen and I love this little springy thing behind the door. And, now my dad really likes taking me places because I talk to everyone and embarass him a lot! In Florida we even went for a bike ride. One of my favorite places he takes me is the grocery. I have lots of friends there and meet more with each visit. On Saturday he took me to the Crohn conservatory. I saw a cave and lots of plants, but the coolest thing I saw was a donkey and that baby Jesus again. :)This week I started back at "Betsy's". I yelled HI...and waved to all my old friends there Monday morning. But today it has all caught up to me. I'm REAL tired and I do not like to take naps when mom's friends are visiting her. This week Paul, and KC, and Oscar came by. They like me....and I don't want them to miss seeing me. We all play together nicely! I got big brown chair in the mail this week, just like Dad's, so now I can crawl around in it. I haven't figured out how to get out of it yet, but when I fall forward I don't cry--I'm a big boy--no tears.....well UNLESS I'm really hungry. I went to the Dr. this week too, see why I'm so tired? And I weigh 21 lbs now and am almost 10 inches longer than when I was born. I only had to get 1 shot this time so it wasn't so bad. Off to bed....(yawn...)
