So this is 2007

















1) Me and Cellar hanging out together
2) in some places...food on the face means you enjoyed the meal, right?
3) I really love Tubby, sometimes I can't leave him when I get up.
4) Milk mustache with the all popular milk beard!
5) Look Mum... one hand!
6) Gettin' my groove on in my car

I finally figured it all out... this 2007 thing -- it's a New Year!!! This year I will be 2, but not for a long time; not until September. I like this new year thing it's like starting fresh. I guess that a lot of people make something called new years resolutions...I don't do that stuff just yet. I have enough to concentrate on without adding other things that I should 'resolve' to do.


So when I went to my Dr. appointment in early January I actually broke the 20 pound mark. WOW -- I can hardly believe that. I weighed 20 pounds and 8 ounces and I know that I am getting bigger all the time. Yesterday... I actually was too big for a pair of my overalls!!! I AM GIGANTIC!!! I still love standing, and I can stand while holding onto the couch or the window seat or even my zebra and Mummy doesn't have to hold on to me when I do that! Now let's talk about my Bounce and Spin Zebra that I got for Christmas... I LOVE that zebra!! I can sit on it and bounce and bounce as long as I hold on! Sometimes when I am feeling especially big... I let go and give a few bounces. Mummy is always telling me that I need to hold on - but I figured I was plenty big enough to just bounce... until I fell off. I guess Mummy is on to something....


I'm really starting to like my food now. I have been doing something called 'nutritive eating' since January 12th (which was also my 16 month birthday). They say that means that I eat for actual nutritian instead of eating just to experiment. And I have been doing really, really good at this eating thing. I eat 3 meals a day and I don't need to have as many calories put into me through my g-tube. I'm also doing really well drinking from my cup. Mummy holds it for me... I guess that's because I always try to drink with the top of my head... or I like to just stuff my hand in the cup. I certainly get a lot more to drink when Mummy holds the cup for me!


I'm really loving my doggies and my kitty too. Cellar comes and sits with me during the day, and she lets me pet her and tug on her ears...she doesn't seem to mind and I like it cuz her fur is sooooo soft! Bruin - well he still comes and licks my face... his breath is a little less stinky these days so that's a nice change for me since his tounge is the size of my head! And Lola is just sweet...she comes over to me and sniffs me over good then she sits next to me and lets me pat her.


My Kelly says that I'm right on the very cusp of crawling...and I think she is right. When I really want something I can get myself nearly into that crawl position just to reach for what I want. PLUS Daddy bought me this cool 'car' that I can ride in and sometimes Mummy pushes me around the house and other times I sit in the car and push it backwards with my feet. I have gotten REAL good at that!!!! I can cross the living room in seconds flat! I like moving around and I think that will make me want to crawl too!


Well... I guess that's all for now. I hope you are all well!

I love you!!
