Hey Everyone! Its been a while since I posted (as usual) but we have been a very busy bunch. We are moving (I think). I finally have figured it all out, what mommy and daddy have been doing when they leave me off with mom-mom or pop-pop. they have been looking at houses. they actually took me to one that they really liked and let me sample it. i loved it, they loved, unfortunately johnny house-seller took it off the market before it could become ours. soon though mommy and daddy will find a great house for us that will be bigger and have a yard for me and lucy to play in. we will also live closer to many of my loyal readers!
we still have to sell this house and i think mommy is getting a bit frustrated. not quite as much interest as she originally anticipated, but its really only been a week or so since the house was avaialbe for showings. so, we shall see. this is a whole new adventures.
i guess it also means i am going to be leaving my school. i will let that sit awhile before i see how i feel about it. i am now the 2nd oldest in my room and once my buddy A leaves, i will be the oldest by far. perhaps this will be a good time for a change.
we had a nice visit in DE this past weekend though. i got to visit with mom-mom and pop-pop bill and pop pop and debbie. lots of visiting!! no houses found and daddy was sick, but we still had a great time. can't say as much for the long ride home on sunday afternoon. we hit some major momma traffic and that darn car seat just gets so restricting. throwing my nook is only fun for so long, plus mommy eventually catches on and stops reaching all around the car for it. she is a smart lady. daddy is no nonsense in the car. he was probably just crabby from being sick, oh, and having to drive that trip so many times!
Daddy took lucy this week to go and visit aunt beth and my new cousin riley. he hasn't shown me the pictures yet but he said she was a beautiful baby and that she was very little still. compared to me he said she was like lifting a feather. dude, i can't help it if i am carrying some weight, i will say that it is some lean and solid baby fat. watch out ladies!
hope you all are doing well!

Thu - back after a day off
well, me and daddy had a nice day off on wednesday. he picked me up early from day care on wednesday. miss pat said i had to go home since i was having some crazy poop explosions, in combination with a bad bad diaper rash and also that i got all of my clothes dirty! it was a rough morning yesterday. today has not been much better in that arena.
so since we went home early, me and daddy and lucy got to hang out all day together. we took a great wagon ride to the park and daddy and i threw the tennis ball for lucy. i got to wear my baseball cap to keep the sun out of my eyes too. daddy showed me how to wear it backwards to, he said he does that sometimes. we played outside a lot and we also played chase around the house. i can play chase now because i can move pretty darn fast on my feet.
with the fun came the unfun. the burning rash on my bum. i hope it goes away soon. the diarreah isn't fun either. also, i am noting, the faster I move the harder i fall. yesterday i fell on my face, but not before dropping my cup on teh spot where my face landed. the falling is getting old though. I'd say i must fall about 50 times a day. at school there tends to be more padding so its not too bad, but at home, its hard core wooden floors.
i think today is a big day for mommy and daddy. they keep talking about finding out. not to mention the endless cleaning...someday i will be privy to such information. maybe they just don't want me to blab about it here on my blog. not even sure that they read this stuff...
oh, and i got your package mom-mom (if your reading) so thankyou very much for the Easter card and outfit!
talk to you all soon!!! (happy birthday uncle wasil!)
oh...and crayola factory is out this weekend. not sure why. will get to the bottom of it, somehow. if only i could communicate through spoken word!

Tues - Been A While - Happy Easter
Hi Everyone,
Happy Easter and hope you all had a nice holiday. Mine was pretty nice. Though after comparing with some of the other kids at school, i think there was room for improvement. I heard stories of egg finding and candy. Well, my Easter dind't quite encompass all that, but we still had a nice time. Granpa came over and we went to church. we started going to the a new church, one that is closer because it only takes a few minutes to get there. I like the old one better, I think Mommy and Daddy do to. I was really good in church though. I even took a nap!! Something very peaceful about that place, always puts me into a deep sleep!
After church we came home and Granpa, Daddy, and Lucy and I all played outside while Mommy cooked our Easter dinner. Before we knew it the big ham and all the side dishes were out and we were eating. I wasn't that hungry so I didn't eat that much, but it was fun throwing ham to Lucy. She is so hungry ALL the time. Its amazing...
Then I sat with Daddy while we all chatted around the table. He gave me a sip of his drink and wow! Mommy was not happy about that, though I don't think she realizes, it hardly even made it to my mouth. Granpa said it will help me sleep better!
Not too much else going on around here. Daddy says he is going to go visit Riley my new cousin soon. we have also been straightening up arouund the house. I have noticed a lot of the furniture is moved or missing and things are really neat and clean. Not quite sure what it all means, but as usual, a new adventure and something else to learn about!
Hope you are all doing well! Did you file your taxes? If not, they are late! Thanks everyone for the cards and also thanks to Aunt Louise for the great outfit and book (and goldfish!). Thanks Pop Pop and Debbie for funding my actual Easter outfit! Picture will come soon, just have to nudge the old man to post them on our website. Mom-mom, daddy said you sent me something but think it is lost in the mail. Thanks so much for even thinking to send anything, that was very nice of you!

Tues - Just Chillin
Hi Guys,
had a great weekend in the sunny warm weather! we spent a lot of time outside and i got to walk on two new surfaces, grass and brick, for the first time ever! I also got to taste wood chips and pebbles. I love tasting new things. Lucy does too, especially wood chips, i was her taste tester. i think she appreciated it. daddy thinks lucy is annoyed by me and my antics, but little does he know how much she loves and appreciates me!! she loves the "mow-down" game where I chase her with my little walker all over the house. she loves when i take chew toys right out of her mouth, and she loves when i pet her too. those low rumbles are doggy laughter daddy!
there was also some sort of a shift in time this weekend. not sure what is going on but it is darker when i get up and lighter when i go to bed. not sure what that is all about but i know daddy and mommy have been complaining about my awake time lately.... whatever dudes.... i mean, wake up already, lets get this day started!
Seriously though, you want me to go to bed at 8 and sleep past 6, i think your dreaming. so please, don't get so irritated when I am up at 5:30am. Atleast I greet your frowns with a big smile (and sometimes even a giggle) when you come into my room!
I let on much more to my walking skill this weekend too. I heard daddy telling someone on the phone that I was walking more than crawling. Yup. When do you think he will find out I can go potty in the toilet too!? hehehe. Me and my buddy Aiden at daycare are also really curious about what is in the cabinet under the changing table. Neither of us have been able to infiltrate alone, so we are now working together. Distraction techniques, and a little luck, will get us in there. Aiden says I need to learn to mask the "little devil" eye gleam if I really want to fool Miss Pat and Miss Jan. We'll see...
Have a good one guys!

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!

Tues - Bday Party Weekend
Hi Everyone, for those of you that came over for my birthday party, thanks for coming! We had a great time. It was pretty neat seeing all those people squeeze into our house. I sat on the floor a lot and played. Luckily my cousing Summer came and kept me company. Otherwise it was mostly adults, but it was great to see everyone. I often forget what people look like (give me a break, i am trying to learn how to walk/talk/eat, luckily I was born with the ability to type in my blog!!)
I think my favorite part of the party was when everyone gathered into the dining room. And all at once, everyone starting singing! Man, I got a kick out of that. It was like a big chorus in our house!
Hopefully daddy will be posting the pictures on his site soon, but I know he's been pretty busy. I think mommy and daddy are waiting for me to start walking. I have shown them that I can stand on my own, and I can even stand and clap at teh same time. Just a matter of time before I take a successful step. I tried to step the other night but fell into mommy's arms.
ok, gotta go practice my balance...see ya!

Wed - Quick Update
Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes! My birthday was great...wow...one year...its gone by fast.
Hope everyone had a nice valentine's day. It was pajama day at day care so everyone got to wear their pajamas all day long. It was pretty neat. Then, since a lot of kids weren't there on monday we had a little birthday celebration for me. Mommy had brought in treats and little gifts for everyone and it was a lot of fun. I hope to post some pictures some day of this place i call daycare!
Oh and last night i had my one year doctor appointment. man, if i have to go to one more doctor...btw...i think i do have to go get blood drawn to get a led test (just standard practice), so gee...can't wait. Two shots last night, made me just about go berzerk. All these doctors and nurses want to do is hold me down and stick me with things or scrape things off. its getting old...if they think i am going to be so cheery about going to the doctor next time, they have another thing coming...
Some stats....
Weight: 26 lbs. 4oz. (90th percentile) - up 3 pounds from my 9 month checkup
Height: 29 in - (average, no percentile) - up 1 inch from my 9 month checkup
Whole milk is on the way. I think mommy and daddy are pretty excited at the prospect of not having to make formula anymore! Oh, and all that stuff that I couldn't eat before, well, most of it, i can now.
And...this is a bit embarassing...but...
I got mistaken for a little girl last night at the dr. i had my pj's on and my long hair was flowing. don't think daddy or mommy took too kindly to the woman who mistakenly identified me. maybe daddy will take me for a hair cut soon. its been a topic of conversation around the house lately.
Ok...thats it for now! Hope you are all doing great!

Sat - trip to Pitt recap...
Ok Ok...i know its past my bedtime but daddy said i coudl post an update...
and...btw...we are getting ready for some mega momma snow! 8-12 inches in the forecast.
So, I promised earlier in the week to post more about our trip to Pittsburgh to visit the Smedleys, and while its still fresh in my head, I thought i'd get it down in print.
Fri
Started off well. I think mommy and daddy got most of our stuff together at on thu night so we could have a semi-relaxing morning. worked out well. daddy took lucy to the doggy hotel and when he got back we hit the road. conveniently right around my nap time. stopped off quickly at dunkin for a bite (not for me) and then hit the road. woke up about 2 hours later, oh, and forgot this...remember my car seat? how it used to face the back of the seat into the back of the car? well...its front facing now baby! awesome...
the trip was pretty good. we stopped midway at the rest stop on the PA turnpike. i think we had roy rogers and i got to have some of daddy's chicken strips. it was fun looking at all the people. then daddy let me walk back out to the car (with his assistance) so i got to stretch the legs and all.
we arrived ahead of schedule (apparently made great time) and beat aunt kelly to her house. we hung out there for a while waiting for jake and his mom, so we played with howie (their dog) and all of jake's toys. we have a lot of the same toys, so i felt pretty comfortable. Eventually everyone got home and we got ready for dinner.
{oh and check this out...i dind' tell anyone but daddy actually captured it on film. Jake has this special eye power trick. here it was, we were hanging out on teh floor playing with some blocks when well, we both wanted the same one. we tugged at it for a while but i could tell he wasn't going to give. then...all of a sudden i looked at him and his eyes were giving off this beam of light... Was I freaked out? Well, kind of, but mostly I was blinded momentarily while Jake was able to get the toy. Round 1 to the jake man!}
So that night after a bath and some cleaning up, it was off to bed. I slept very poorly. I think the car thing sort of did me in.
Sat
Got up, ate some breakfast and hung out playing with jake and howie and the toys. it was fun. then mommy got out a special surprise for me from uncle jimmy, aunt kelly, jake, and howie. it was a birthday present. Leggos! My first set. Awesome. And, if your reading guys, thanks again!
{oh, so then i was crawling into the kitchen, and i hear the regrigerator start moving, sort of wobbling. quick thinking, i held the fridge so it wouldn't fall and sent howie off for some help. Luckily, daddy was there to capture the moment on film! Can you believe it? }
Then we were off to Aunt Louise's house for lunch. WE had a great time, Aunt Louise made us some pizza and got me some great gifts! A brand new walking toy and a bath towel, some jammies (more on that later) and some black and gold goldfish! Plus I got to play at her house for a while, and she played some polka music to check out my dancing skills. It was great!
Then we headed back for an early dinner at Max and Erma's. Jeesh, everyone i saw had their steelers gear on. it was quite a show. we had a nice dinner though and headed back home to bed. It was a long day and I slept like a rock!
Sun
Superbowl day! Lots of playing and napping today while the house got ready for the guests. man, the food smelled good, and can you believe i hardly had any? it was game time though so as visitors arrived I tried to smile welcomly at them. jake and i pretty much hung out on the floor during the game. great game and congrats to the steelers. Bed time game in teh middle of the game so mommy (hear that? mommy) took me to get changed into my new jammies. These are the ones that aunt louise bought me for the big game. Anyway, daddy wasn't all that happy when he saw me in them, but eventually he came around and held me once again. Off to bed, and not knowing the outcome of the game I didn't sleep well. In fact, once everyone left, I slept horribly. I just couldn't settle down. Daddy claims it was the foreign PJ's, and that I was being punished for giving up on my eagles. Mommy doesn't believe it. All I Know is, I probably won't wear those PJ's again, why take the chance! :)
Mon
Got up early and headed out. Made great time again, under six hours and with a stop for lunch at Dairy Queen! It was great! Anyway, we had a great trip and a great time hanging out with them smedley's. Thanks guys for having us!
OK...man that was long. Hope you stayed with me there. Good night and enjoy the snow!!
and...btw...we are getting ready for some mega momma snow! 8-12 inches in the forecast.
So, I promised earlier in the week to post more about our trip to Pittsburgh to visit the Smedleys, and while its still fresh in my head, I thought i'd get it down in print.
Fri
Started off well. I think mommy and daddy got most of our stuff together at on thu night so we could have a semi-relaxing morning. worked out well. daddy took lucy to the doggy hotel and when he got back we hit the road. conveniently right around my nap time. stopped off quickly at dunkin for a bite (not for me) and then hit the road. woke up about 2 hours later, oh, and forgot this...remember my car seat? how it used to face the back of the seat into the back of the car? well...its front facing now baby! awesome...
the trip was pretty good. we stopped midway at the rest stop on the PA turnpike. i think we had roy rogers and i got to have some of daddy's chicken strips. it was fun looking at all the people. then daddy let me walk back out to the car (with his assistance) so i got to stretch the legs and all.
we arrived ahead of schedule (apparently made great time) and beat aunt kelly to her house. we hung out there for a while waiting for jake and his mom, so we played with howie (their dog) and all of jake's toys. we have a lot of the same toys, so i felt pretty comfortable. Eventually everyone got home and we got ready for dinner.

thu - boo boo no more
yesterday, doc successfully removed my hemangioma. it was aweful for about 10 minutes, but its over now. in about a week or so, my wound should heal into a small little scar. then when i am older, much older, i can impress the chics with my scar. he he.
here is how the day unfolded. sitting and playing at day care, la la la. in comes daddy, and i am thinking, great, he came to play with me at lunch time, just like he used to. as i am crawling over to him i hear the mention of the D word. he then grabs me, applies some sort of creme to my wound and whisks me off. details get shady because in the car i fell asleep. Before i know it we are in the waiting room adn mommy shows up. they call us into the room, but the nurse (who looks so nice) is having problems with the computer in that room. So...we switch rooms...
then the three of us are hanging out, playing and waiting. and waiting...and waiting. it was now 20 minutes afer our appt time, and daddy and i saw the doctor arriving to the building through the window. this sparks a heated debate between mommy and daddy about appointment times and being polite.
finally doc shows up, nurse wraps me in a tight swaddle in a sheet and hollllly cazollee. details are sketchy here as i was writhing in pain, but they involve an injection, a scalpel, and some sort of burning device.
Finally it was over adn we went home. I slept most of the afternoon. Glad its over. Daddy said I was pretty tough and that he was proud of me. Mommy looked a little shaken, but she assured me i would be ok. Good news...I was!
So, one more week of band aids and healing cream, then back to normalcy again! Its been a long few weeks!
Thanks eveyrone for your concern!

monday and off to the doc
today is my appointment with the dermatologist. we should finally get to the bottom of what that thing is on my forehead. daddy thinks is definitely a mild Hemangioma, but I hope we will find out for sure. it was healing up nicely until sat night when i picked at it again and opened the flood (or rather blood) gates.
not sure what the doc will do, but hopefully something. getting this band aid applied all the time and removed all the time is getting old fast. oh, and daddy, mommy, please...try not to put the thing over my hair!! Did you ever have a bandaid torn from your skin taking half a head of hair off! jeesh.
we had a nice weekend. i am getting closer and closer to taking those first solo steps. this weekend i was walking all around the house with the help of m&d and my new toy that my friend Gabriel lent me. its a walking toy that i can push around. i still can't get over how fast i can get places in this new way of moving. i wonder what comes after walking!! though with the good comes the bad. i think i fell and bumped something about 10 times yesterday. falling is scary and usually ends with a big thud and a few flashes of light. it comes easy too if i don't concentrate on what i'm doing. each day it gets a little easier though and i get a little more confident.
gearing up for a short week, then a long long car trip to Pittsburgh. i heard mommy say she is dreading the trip. not sure what that means for me, but daddy told me this morning that it is a long trip and we will be in the car for a long long time. i like how he tries to "prepare" me, but not sure how affective that can be at this point.
Talk to you all soon!

Thu - boo boo's galore big and little
yesterday day care sent me home with the ouch report. so "A" (name changed for security sake) and i were hanging out on the mat at daycare and he was showing me how he can climb over the mat, over the bump in the mat, then land on his feet on the other side. so he is pretty nimble...the guy can walk, i am still a scooter, but i was convinced i could pull off this manuever. well, i climbed over the mat, and over the bump, but landed on not my feet...but my nose. so i gotta little rugburn. its all good though, daddy said it makes me look tough.
later in the after, "A" and "K" were walking around pushing the cribs around...they never wait for me though. it takes me longer because i have to hold onto things and often by the time i catch up they are gone! so i get to the crib to push it, but "A" moved it and whoomp. right on my rear. i will catch up with those guys soon and wont' be intimidated by them!
man, how bout that wind last night? i think i felt the house shake a few times. i couldn't get "Big Little" out of my head, specifically the pages that say, "Ladies are big" and the next page "Lady bugs are little". What the heck is a lady bug? And do ladies and lady bugs where the same outfit?

Its Monday - the Earley's were in the house
Hi Everyone! Did you guys all have a good weekend? We had a pretty good weekend. This weekend we had some visitors in the form of Uncle Jim, Aunt Tracy, and Cassy. Not to mention the little bugger thats in Aunt Tracy's stomach! hehe!
Friday started out OK. My hemangioma finally stopped bleeding and mommy and daddy went to their party. Granpa stayed with me and that was nice. he's pretty funny. he let me sleep with a small blanket too. I couldn't fall asleep so I went and forgot about my hemangioma and picked at it. Its bled quite a bit again...
But all was well on Saturday morning, but it was straight to the tub. Later the Earley's arrived and we had a nice afternoon visit and dinner at Leo's in hoboken. I am beginning to think that is mommy and daddy's favorite place cause we go there more than any other place. Mommy said they used to go a lot more when they were younger. I wonder if they mean my age.
Sunday we hung out around the house and lucy and cassidy were all over the place. Lucy's injury kept her in check most of the weekend though. Oh, did I tell you about Lucy's injury? Yes, we were the injury house this weekend. Surprised Aunt Tracy and Uncle Jim made it out of here. Anyway...Lucy has a Histiocytoma on her left elbow. Her dog walker Nikki spotted it on her friday because it was bleeding and oozing. I guess daddy and mommy were worreid about my wound that they missed lucy's. Daddy took her to the doctor to get it checked out. Not the same doctor as me, but a doctor that takes care of animals. Anyway, daddy found out tonight that it was indeed a histiocytoma and nothing worse.
Jeesh, i am losing my train of thought here. Sunday was quite, daddy wasn't feeling all that well so we just sat around and watched two great football games! Congratulations Pop Pop, Aunt Beth, and Kelly! Your team is in the superbowl! CAn you believe it. Daddy said last year on this same weekend he felt so happy because the Eagles were going to the Superbowl. He said that you guys must be feeling close to the same feeling. Yeah! I might even (and this will take some major momma convincing on your guys part) bring my Steelers bib to Pittsburgh. Oh Yeah, forgot to mention, we are going to Pittsburgh for the Superbowl to visit Jake and family.
Ok, enough rambling. Here are some photos of us hanging out this weekend:
Me and my bandage
Aunt Tracy amazed by my tricks!
Lucy and her wounded elbow
How YOU doin?
Those crazy dogs giving me the sniff
Funny Uncle Jim
More later...see y'ins (a little pittsburghese that daddy taught me)

Ouch Man
tough week...so that red thing that was growing near my forehead...yeah, remember that thing? Well, today i was laying in my crib at daycare just about to dose off when i itched the darn thing. well, before i knew it, my long incisor like nails (eh hem, please cut my nails parents!), blood was everywhere! Apparently this thing is a volcano ready to blow. It almost resulted in an early dismissal from daycare, but luckily they handled the situation with a couple calls from mommy and the doctor adn lunch time visit by daddy.
So, I guess I scraped off either a mild Hemangioma or a mild Pyogenic Granuloma. The doc couldn't tell which it was because I did anumber on it. We will go to see a pediatric dermatologist pretty soon i think. whatever it is, it was just a red bump on my forhead that most likely would go away on its on in a couple of years. Not much they can do about it. Here is a picutre of me and my bandage:
Me ...oucho!
Gearing up for an exciting weekend. We are having guests! Its been a while since we have had any guests. I hope unlce jim and aunt tracy don't mind my semi regularly nightly tirades! heeheehee. I think they are bring cassy, their big yellow dog, so she and lucy can romp about. Should be pretty darn crazy at home!
And on another note...daddy says that since we have a pretty large pittsburgh contingent that we should be rooting for the steelers to get to the superbowl this year, so seeing that the Eagles are out, Go Steelers!!

Fever...no daycare (well, except mommy)
Yup...fever. 102.9 yesterday. Got me out of daycare and a visit to the Doc. Doc says my throat was pretty raw, took a throat culture, but nothing came of it. So, thankfully mommy picked me up from daycare and is missing work so she can stay home with me. Actually I feel fine and dandy, but the day care won't let me back until i am fever free for 24 hours. No skin of my back. That germ whole can live without me for a day or so.
I do feel bad that mommy and daddy have to keep missing work, but there is not much I can do. I have tried not putting things in my mouth at day care, but its just too darn hard, and is that really "living" anyway? Plus, you'd think with this strict sick policy, no one would be getting sick. Well, doesn't happen, in fact, most of the daycare got nailed by the stomach virus a little over a week ago. Oh well though, luckily so far, mommy and daddy's jobs have been very understanding.
Not too much else going on. I have been really enjoying standing, the view is much better. Daddy takes me on "guided walks" where he holds my hands and i move my feet forward. That is fun too. I don't think I am close to being able to do this on my own (and I am not sure anyone wants me to be, yet), but I think i am doing pretty good for 11 months old!
Uncle Jim and Aunt Tracy are coming for a visit this weekend, oh, and Friday Granpa is coming over to watch me while mommy and daddy go to a recognition event for mommy's pink tie ball. So, it should be a pretty fun weekend (barring sickness).
Hope you all are sniffle free!

Back To Normal...Finally
Well, we are all finally better! Can you believe this sickness? I mean, who would have believed that I or we, or one of us even, would be sick on average of every 2 weeks. So far, even though this winter has been pretty warm, its been rough.
Just a quick thanks to mommy and daddy who have been dealing with some projectile vomitting and major major poop explosions! Your the best guys! This has of course resulted in a lot of extra baths!
Oh, and Lucy....I know it must be tempting to eat my poo...but its really not good for you!
Boy...day care has been pretty quiet this week. I think the whole place got attacked by that stomach virus. Can someone say short-staffed? I mean, they asked me to answer phones today! heheh...just a little humor. Found out that Miss Pat's husband is in the hospital too, so hopefully he will get better soon and Miss Pat will be back shortly...but Miss Jan has been taking great care of me, plus i get to hang out with miss nicole a little more too...and well...well...nevermind...
So, this standing up thing i did the other, i just can't seem to recreate it. i thought a few times that i had it and before i knew it i was face down in the carpet! i seem to be falling around a lot more these days. this movement stuff is so addicting though. just when i think i can't move in any other method, whammo, i do something really cool and just want to try try again. daddy has me working on waving bye bye, and i have done that successfully on command for him a few times. i like to throw him a bone every so often!
not much planned for the weekend, prolly just hang around the house and work on standing and stuff. hope you guys are all doing well and talk to you soon!
