Quick Update

Hi everyone!!!

I got my shots today - I hated them. But it really wasn't all that bad. I cried with the needles, then had a bottle and it was all better. I just had my last dose of Tylenol and hopefully that will be all I need to make a full recovery. I spent some time today at the hospital visiting my new friend Jackson. He is really cute and big. I can't wait until we can play together.

Here are my new stats in case you were wondering:

Height: 24.5 inches tall - 75-90%
Weight: 11 pounds, 14 ounces - 25-50%
Head Circumference: 40.5cm - 25-50%

Dr. N called me a "Champion" today because I am strong and have good balance when I stand. He also told me I was showing off when I did a push up and held my head up. He also told me I can do whatever I want to during the day because I sleep so well at night. Hooray! I love you all and hope to see you soon.

Mom is getting nervous

So tomorrow morning I go in for my first "real" shots. I'm getting 4 all in one day. I had one shot before, and I cried a little, but my Mom is a little scared that I am getting 4 shots and that I might get sick from them or be cranky. I'm not scared though - I'm tough!

My latest tricks are being pulled to sitting and then standing, I like to take steps once I'm standing and I am now a total pro at holding up my head. I laugh when I sing with my Mom. I like the "Wheels on the Bus" song... especially moving my hands around - I make a sad face when the babies on the bus cry though. I laugh too and "talk" to my Mom when she changes my diaper and gives me a bath and when she plays and sings with me. I say goo and boo and blow raspberries - then I laugh.

I still drool a lot, so I spend the days in tshirts and onesies that are wet all around the neck. Sometimes when my Mom or Dad picks me up, there are huge strings of drool from my toys or my fist. I smile when they get covered in my slobber. And Mom thought she wanted a puppy! =)
I've had lots of fun adventures these past few weeks. My Grandma and Grandpa and Uncle from Canada came down to visit and be with my at my blessing. We also went to the zoo and to Sea World. I slept through another day of feeding the manatees. But I did come face to face with a seal that barked at me and a dolphin that has no teeth. I got to see a beautiful dolphin that is going to have a baby soon. It was really exciting and I'm glad my Uncle Dee shows me cool stuff at Sea World.

Oh yeah, I was blessed at church last Sunday. It was cool. I only cried a little. It was really neat having most of the special men in my life at my blessing.

I'll write more later. It's getting past my bedtime. Wish me luck with my shots!
