Around and Around

Around and around I go. I really like this walking thing. Okay for the record I am not walking by myself yet but I like to cruise around the activity table. It used to be Riley's and Mommy said that I like it just as much as she did. It plays all kinds of music and has a computer on it. I tried to post a blog on it, but I couldn't get the web page to come up.

You might notice some changes I have made to my blog page. Kaidyn's Mommy helped me. I also made a few updates to Riley's page. She might try to take credit for it, but I am the one that sat through the tutorial and learned how to make them look pretty. I changed the outside wall paper, added a count down to my birthday, added a welcome sign, and finally my nine and ten month pictures. Hope you like the changes.

We went to play at Brady and Coopers house today. It was a lot of fun. Brady just kept on hugging me and playing with me. He is going to be a great big brother. Cooper is just 2 1/2 weeks old and I bet Brady can't wait until he is as big as me. It probably won't take long because his Mommy said that he likes to eat like I do.

Ten Months and Doing It All

I know that I say it all of the time but I really am so sorry that I have not blogged in a long time. I will update you though.
The month of June was really interesting. It all started with an ear infection and visits to a couple of doctors. Poppy first told mommy that I had an ear infection. Then Dr. Howell said it was a double. Then we went back to Dr. Howell for my nine month check up. Then we went and saw Dr. Forwith and he told Daddy and Mommy that my ears had so much fluid that my ear drums were not even moving. Then at the end of the month, on the 30th, we went and saw Dr. Forwith again and he put tubes in my ears. And my oh my was I in heaven after that. I was like a whole new girl I tell ya. I could hear things on a whole new level. I mean I just loved to hear myself talk after that. I just blabbed on to mommy and myself for like two hours straight. It was great. I could hear clearly. I didn't even know what I was missing until I had that surgery. I would have blabbed to Riley, but she was not here. She was in Florida with Gram, Poppy, and Tyler. Mommy and I were supposed to go to but I had to have my surgery and I am telling you what I am glad that I did.

Other big news. I said da da for the first time. He just loves it when I say it to. So now I really try to say it especially when he is around. It just really makes him smile at me and I just love making him smile. I said it before Riley left for Florida. Daddy did not believe it at first and then he said he would take it and count it. I am telling you what he better take it. I am doing the best I can and you know what else that was before I had my surgery and I could hear clearly.

I also started to wave. Daddy thinks that is really cool. Tonight he was cutting the grass and he stopped to wave to me across the yard and you know what I decided to just wave back to him. Mommy was so excited too even though I was not waving to her.

I have also pulled myself up in my bed. I don't really do it all the time I have only done it once on my bed, but I have pulled myself up on the couch and the little stool that is in Riley's bathroom.

One of my biggest accomplishments has been walking around. Okay I only really walk behind the lion, but that is progress right? I have this walking thing that is a lion and it rolls. I put my hands on the handle bar and away I go. I mean I am not really fast right now, but I am working on it. Before you know it you are going to be reading about me walking and talking all by myself. Keep checking back to see what the latest updates are. TTFN (ta ta for now)

Nine Months and Crawling Around

Well it is official I am crawling around, or at least Daddy says I am. I can't get up on all fours yet, but you know this is a big load to carry. The point is that I am getting myself around where I want to go and getting myself to things I want to get to.

I went to see doctor Howell yesterday for my nine months check up. I was 20 lbs 15 oz and 28 inches long. I know that nit may seem like a lot but I am coming down in the percentiles. I am only in the 80th percentile for weight now. At one point I was almost off the charts. Mommy says it is because I am not demanding night feedings anymore. Don't you worry I still usually wake her up, but it is just to play with her hair.

I have been hitting so many milestones lately that who knows the next rime you check in on me I may be walking aroud and saying Da Da.

Move Over Mommy and Daddy

Riley and I have really been putting Mommy and Daddy through the ringer lately. Last night Riley was throwing up a lot. It was awful and stinky. Mommy tried to put me to bed when it started, but I was not ready to go. Then finally I gave in when they put Riley back to bed. Then Riley threw up again and again. The last time she asked Mommy if she could sleep with her. At 4:30 I woke up too and decided it would be a good idea to get in Mommy and Daddy's bed too. I just love that bed.

Last week I had a fever on and off for four days. Poppy looked at my ears and saw that I had an ear infection on Wednesday and he gave me medicine, but that was not making it better. So Gram took me to Dr. Howell. When she looked in my ears she saw that I had a double ear infection on Friday. After that Mommy called the ear doctor and made an appointment for me to get tubes in my ears. That sounds really crazy. I thought I wasn't supposed to put things in my ears. Riley said that it would be okay to have the doctor put the tubes in my ears. She has them in her ears too. We will see. I go on the 10th to get my hearing checked and whatever else they want to do to me before I have surgery.

lt Is Official...

I am not a baby any more. Mommy put her finger in my mouth yesterday and discovered my secret. My first teeth are popping through. They are the bottom two in the front. They are both coming through at the same time. No wonder I have been a little grouchy. At least that is what Alice tells Mommy. I just can't wait till these things are all the way through. I am going to look just like Riley, I am going to be a big girl. Daddy says I am growing up way too fast. Mommy told me that Riley's first two teeth came in at the same time too. I really love that girl. We are going to have so much fun together when I can run around too. I mean she is always trying to play with me now and she gets me stuff to play with, but it will be more fun when I can chase her.

I have another ear infection. I have been really sick too with some really high fevers. Gram is going to take me to the doctor tomorrow. My highest one was 104.9. I threw up everywhere with that one. I hope that they figure out what is wrong with me or that it just goes away.

Well I better go to bed I am getting tired. Some really exciting stuff is going to be happening to me so just keep checking back.

PS I can't get Mommy and Daddy to take any good pictures of these teeth. Sorry they are such amateurs.

Ma Ma

So I decided to say Ma Ma today. I don't know what came over me. I was just sitting on the floor wanting Mommy to pick me up. She was trying to get stuff done so I knew I really needed to get her attention so I said Ma Ma. Then she came and picked me up. It worked. I just might have to try it again. She kept trying to get me to say it again, but I would not. I just kept shaking my head no. The funniest parts was that every time Mommy would say, "Say Ma Ma" Riley would say, "Say Riley" I think it is going to take me a long time to say Riley. I will work on Ma Ma.

Happy Mother's Day

Well I have been rolling around everywhere lately. I even got up on my legs today for a little bit. Mommy said it was a start to crawling, but I am not there yet. She really wants me to crawl, but does she know what she is asking for? I mean I will get into everything and have it all in my mouth.

I have been eating fruit now too. However, the last couple of nights I have not wanted to eat anything. I was in a really bad mood all day yesterday too. Ears again? Maybe. Poppy came over and looked at them. He said that one is a little bad, but not too inflamed whatever that means and he said that it is probably my teeth. Daddy says that he thinks he can feel something and I have been soaking all of my bibs. I am getting close to that age. Riley got her first teeth at 9 months. We will see when I get mine. Don't worry I will let you know.

Today is Mother's Day. Mommy gets her own day. That is pretty cool. She is a good mommy. She is always feeding me, hugging me, kissing me, holding me, and playing with me. I mean I think she is a keeper. Riley and I went and made pottery for her. We put paint on our hands and put them on a plate for her. She really likes it. Riley got to paint a flower pot too. I was just too crabby and didn't want to paint anything else. Today we took mommy out to breakfast and then we had a late lunch in the park. I slept most of the time when they were all eating because what else was I going to do I don't eat all that crazy stuff yet. I don't even know if I like the stuff they call baby food. I mean cereal is okay if it has milk in it. Milk may just be all I ever want. Although I do hear my mommy telling people that she is weaning me in July. What does that mean? Oh well she also says she has a lot of milk in the freezer. I'll just drink that.

Hope you all had a Great Mother's Day! I know that my mommy did!
