Hi Everyone, guess where we went today!?!?! We went to Rocky Mountain National Park! It was snowing, and we had fun. Mommy and Daddy bundled me up and took me sledding!! Oh yeah, and Daddy got to try out his new snow shoes too. Here's some pictures from our trip:
The rest of this week wasn't as much fun though. You know how I was sick last weekend, well, I gave it to Mommy and Daddy too. Daddy came home from work after just a couple of hours on Mon, and stayed home Tuesday too. Then on Thursday Mommy started feeling yucky too. I sure am happy that they weren't sick at the same time though, cuz then I could still have someone to play with!! Mommy says I get closer to crawling everyday (and walking too!!) This week I showed everyone how I can sit up by myself, and I will take some steps if you hold my hands (but usually only with my right foot - my left one hasn't figured out how to bend and pick itself up yet!!) Before you know it I'm gonna be going everywhere, and getting into everything!! Mommy got me some new toys too! I have blocks now!! and some of them I can put in a giraffe's head and it rolls down to his feet and comes out and plays music!! I really like it!! (but I can't always get the block into his head) Well, I can't believe it's already the last week of February!! Boy time does fly!!

Sorry I'm so late in updating everyone! I was really sick this weekend. It was no fun. My first time being sick. I started throwing up Saturday morning, and I had a slight fever around 99.6 up until yesterday afternoon. But Mommy and Daddy took good care of me, so I'm doing much better now!! I still don't want to eat anything though, especially that yucky stuff mommy keeps giving me called Pedialyte!! bleeck!! But my fever's all gone, and I haven't thrown up since Saturday night. (Oh yeah, Saturday night Mommy and Daddy let me sleep in their room, that was fun!)

So here's what happened the rest of the week! Daddy took his trip, and I missed him a bunch!! But I got to stay with my friend Greg on Tuesday night while Mommy was at class. We had so much fun!! Greg's Mommy is going to send Mommy some pictures. Then Daddy came home on Thursday and I gave him a big hug!! Then we went out for Chinese food for Valentine's day. I'm getting closer to crawling, but I still prefer to just roll around (I'm starting to figure out that scooting backwards is a good thing too)! I got my third tooth (the other bottom one), and I can say ba-ba, and Doggie now!! Mommy took me to the doctor on Friday (of course it was before I got sick!!) and I just keep getting bigger!! I'm now 28 and 1/2 inches tall, and I weigh 18 lbs and 14 oz.!! But I've probably lost a little of that since I was so sick. Well, that's all that's going on around here. Hope everyone is doing good!! bye-bye!!

New Teeth and tons more!

Hi Everyone!! You're not going to believe this, but I'm on my way to getting my 3rd tooth!! That's right!! Mommy almost missed the 2nd one, because it is on top, above the one I already have. But I chewed on her finger a little to let her know it was there! So now I'm finally getting my other bottom one in. It hasn't broken the surface yet, but it probably will in the next couple of days.

The weather has been so nice here the last couple of days! Yesterday was so warm, Daddy wanted to go mountain biking. So we went, and he rode, and Mommy and I took a walk. We walked to a little cabin, and I had fun. I got to see horseys!! But on the way back the sun was in my eyes, so I cried a lot until Mommy gave me her sunglasses!!

Daddy didn't have as much fun though because the trail was too muddy for him to enjoy it. He said he did a lot of walking. Sorry Daddy. We were going to go snowshoeing today too, (well Mommy and Daddy were), but they wanted to rent a covered sled to put me in, and it was out for repairs. Plus, Mommy and Daddy say we have to save money so I can't stay with Katy on long days like that. Also, when we went on the walk Mommy forgot to put diaper cream in the bag to take with us. so by the time we got home I had a pretty yucky diaper rash!! It hurt so bad - I screamed a lot when Mommy tried to clean me. So she let me go diaper free for a while last night!! That was fun!! and I was really good too - only pee-peeing once on the blanket! And my rash is MUCH MUCH better today!! It doesn't hurt anymore, it's just a little pink. (but you can see in the picture last night my bottom was as red as my shirt!)

Daddy is going on another trip this week for work. :( Mommy and I are going to miss him. But at least it's only for a couple of days. He's going to Independence, Missouri. Well that's it for now. Talk to ya later!!

Happy Groundhog's Day!

Happy Groundhog's Day everyone!! Not a whole lot has changed since last week, except that I'm 8 Months old now!! I'm such a big boy!! I still don't have anymore teeth, but the one I got keeps getting bigger and bigger! And I still haven't figured out the crawling thing. I have figured out that if I lean forward when I'm sitting I can get my butt off the ground, but I haven't made it quite to my knees yet. And if I go too far, I just flop on my belly!! Here's a picture of me: Daddy's using the remote as motivation, cuz he never lets me have it!
I can stand up really good though!! Sometimes I even let go for a second. Mommy taught me how to fall on my bottom so that it doesn't hurt (there's lots of diaper padding there!!) I'm even starting to pick up my feet a little when I'm standing!! Mommy says they are not really steps yet because I haven't figured out how to move them! Also, I can't get my Jeep to go!! I sit in it, and make all the noises a Jeep makes, but it just won't go anywhere!?!?! Here's me standing like a big boy all by myself! I may be growing, but I'm still just as skinny as ever!! The only part of me with any "meat" is my legs!! Mommy says I got her chubby thighs, but I definately got Daddy's butt. You can't see it under all that diaper, but there's not much there!! I go to the Doctor again in a couple of weeks, so then we'll know how much I weigh for sure.
Well, I'd love to stay and chat some more, but it's my bedtime!! Grandma Louie sent me lots of books!! So I get new stories at bed time!! Have a good weekend everyone!! Night-night!
