Tues - Just Checking In
Hi Everyone,
Not too much new going on. Getting better each day with the walking. Still not sure I want my skill level to be known. I think daddy might be getting discouraged, I have been falling after one or two steps when i go to him. Little does he know, this is on purpose! I do most of my practicing at day care out of view. Miss Pat and Miss Jan tell him when he picks me up, but i can tell he doesn't much believe them.
The talking is coming along too I think. Soon enough my thoughts may transform into actual speech, but for now they stay in this blog! I have been practicing my speech a lot though. I still can't say much more than mama an dada and ughh, but I figure if i say those three words enough, i can get my vocal chords ready once i get other pronunciations down.
yesterday was the first day of my second full spring. we went to rita's to get free water ice. no one would give me any. jeesh. i keep telling them, sugar is NOT going to keep me awake at night. i am exhausted by 8 oclock.
Last week was rough for the family. Pop pop bill is recoving from Bronchitis, Aunt Louise fell could have really hurt herself, and aunt beth fell (with baby) into a sewer hole. Anyway, if you guys are reading, I hope you are all feeling better. And please, all of you need to be careful. Your not young and spry like me, but I know you must have been scared. Sometimes when I fall it gets pretty scary.
Pop pop and Debbie are coming to visit this friday, so i think i get to leave school early. then we are heading down to good old Delaware. not sure why...though i could probably guess. can't wait to see mom mom though, and show her my walking skills.
mommy says i have to walk for our trip to the crayola factory in April. I hope so too, I am practicing real hard with that date in mind.
Ok everyone, hope all is well, and thanks for the comments, they are great!!

Thu - two weeks later
Wow...its been a while since I have written. Its been a busy month, but all is going well.
We had quite a warm up here last weekend and daddy and mommy let me play outside for awhile. It was a really nice day. I pushed my walking cart thing all around the sidewalks and even chased our neighbor dog Grady around a bit. He kept licking me in his defense! That being said, yes, i am walking! but not 100%, really only between close objects. its still no my primary mode of transportation, but it definitely is fun being able to get around like that!
Later last saturday afternoon mommy and daddy took me for my first haircut. Be the judge, do you think I needed one? I do have to admit that the back was getting a little long and crazy, but man, do I really need to subjected to a lady wielding scissors at me!?!
Initially it was a little scary but I came around and calmed down. It wasn't all that bad, and best of all, IT WAS FREE! First haircut free sounds good to me. I get the impression though that daddy might be cutting my hair going forward...
Anyway, here is the finished product. That is me standing on the stairs and selena and dave's new house. We ended up going there for dinner on saturday night. Selena made some excellent lasagna and we all had a nice meal. they are going to have to get a high chair though if they ever have a little one. i had to eat most of my meal on either mommy or daddy's lap!
I do have to say, they have some awesome stairs and I really enjoyed climbing up and down on them. Nice soft clean carpeting. {hint hint mommy and daddy} Lucy clods up and down our stairs and it is soooo loud!
ok...gotta run, need to get my pool in, games start in just minutes! daddy says uconn and texas, with uconn pulling it out. i like kansas and villanova. we'll see dudes!

Thu and its snowing
a snowy icy day here in NJ. its been a while since i've written, but not too much is going on with me. still teetering with the idea of walking. i've done it a few times in private, but i am not ready to show mommy and daddy just yet. there could be some usefulness to that. :)
ok, so get ready, teh baby explosion continues. aunt jenn and uncle wasil are having a baby in September! Congratulations to you guys. daddy said pop pop told him yesterday that this was the case. i guess chase-man must be pretty excited to be getting a brother or sister. so, so far the line up for new babies:
Aunt Beth & Uncle PJ - April
Aunt Tracy & Uncle Jim - July
Aunt Jenn & Uncle Wasil - September
So...that means someone is going to be november/december, wonder who? Aunt Kelly? Mommy/Daddy? Times a wasting.
Anyway..daddy tells me that my reign as being the lone baby will end very shortly. I don't think I mind that much because I can work a room pretty good. You should have seen me sat night after aunt beth's shower. I had the whole room cracking up with my antics. So bring on the new borns, they pose no threat! hehe.
Had a nice weekend in DE. You should have seen how surprised aunt beth looked when she got to the shower. I think mommy took some pictures, but daddy hasn't put them up yet. it was nice to get to see everyone again, especially aunt louise. she must not think i dress very well because she keeps buying me clothes. mommy just says she is generous.
sun mommy and daddy went out lookin at places again. i haven't heard much about it though. they seem to be keeping in under wraps for some reason. guys, if were gonna move, lets go. if not, try to be happy where you are! Geesh. Oh, and parent police, if your reading this, they didn't take me to church for ashes yesterday. I like to go to church to guys, and you know I am always good!
ok...thats it for now, hopefully my next post wil be more picture-ful!
later peeps
