Time flies when you're having fun!
1) Me, chomping on my mineola
2) Sooo happy!!
3) Hanging with my Nana, I LOVE her!!
Hi everybody! I have had a very, very exciting week let me tell you! I am -- truly -- an expert in the art of saying hi and by and waving by this point. OK...well, maybe I say 'hi' kind of randomly still, but I totally get the whole wave and say bye thing now! I have learned a mess of stuff this week -- I did a little dancing, I picked up my spoon when asked to, and I picked up my cup when asked to as well. I think I am finally getting the hang of this whole object name thing!!!

I think I am finally getting the hang of this whole object name thing!!!
I tried mineola orange this week too, and I LOVED it! At first I was a little finicky with it, but then I shared a piece with Mummy and she ate it right up...so I figured it must be pretty good and I went to town on it. It was soooo yummy!!! I had peanut butter for the second time too, and I loved just licking it off the spoon! MMMMMMM... good stuff!
I had my first night away from both Mummy & Daddy, since my days in the NICU, just this past weekend. Mummy & Daddy went to celebrate their anniversary. I don't know what that is, but it seemed like they had a really good time. And me?? I spent the time with my Nana!! She came up on Thursday night -- I know that because when I went to sleep Thursday night she wasn't here, but when Mummy got me up Friday morning; she poked her head into my bedroom. I was SO HAPPY to see her!!! I love my Nana!! So she underwent intensive training in the ways of speed and trickery; which are both essential to feeding me. And she passed with flying colors cuz she great care of me when Mummy & Daddy went 'anniversaring'. (I'm sure that's a word, right??) We played and laughed, and had so much fun!! And the best part?? When I'm with Nana, it's all about ME!!!
When Daddy & Mummy were away they got me presents though. They found me a new walker that's big like me. I had one, but I got too tall for it, this one though is huge. and I love it! I also like to stand in front of it, and then I press the buttons and do a little dance! I love that!!! Sometimes Mummy dances with me, and that makes me giggle. Daddy took some video of me last night getting my groove on --maybe he'll post it this week! They also got me a new toy - a top that has balls that spin inside of it, and while that happens the top spins in a circle on the floor. COOL!!!! I'm glad that Mummy & Daddy had fun but it was nice when they came home... I got lost of hugs and kisses!
Well, I have a lot of stuff to do -- learning, dancing, playing. Have a great week!
I love you all!!
PS: We're getting ready to do our annual March of Dimes walk this year again. So keep your eyes peeled for a link over to the right to sponsor one of us. I KNOW you remember how important the March of Dimes was to saving me -- and look how much fun we're having now!! Let's help out again this year, OK?

My life... week by week.
1) Look at me... I rolled over all by myself during my nap! I'm a big boy!!2) My little hand on my Uncle Cliff's BIG hand!
3) Conner tells me a great joke!
4) Conner eats cake - Happy 1st birthday my cousin!!!
It would seem to the outside world that I’m not being very cooperative with eating this week…and that would be right. Maybe I’m sick and tired of my food selection… maybe it’s just too much work… maybe I’m kinda lazy… but whatever it is – I’m just not really doing it these days. Mummy’s trying her best to give me new things; that could kick me back into gear. I had some mashed potatoes which I likes, and we went out one night and I tried the center of a french fry and also some onion strings… I liked them all in very small amounts.
Daddy and I got Mummy BEAUTIFUL flowers for Valentines Day. I wasn’t sure what that was, but Daddy says it’s a day to be nice to people that we really, really love. I really, really love Mummy and so does Daddy so we wanted to love her up big style with the flowers. I told those UPS people specifically that I didn’t want delivery between 11 – 1, and 4 – 6 cuz that’s when I take my naps and I didn’t want to miss the happiness that I KNEW would be on my Mummys face. But what did they do??? They waited until I was schleeping and BOOM….(or should I say bLoom??) delivered the flowers!!! I think I should write them a letter expressing my displeasure!!
I am really getting the hang of saying Hi and Bye these days, and I like to wave as well. It’s kinda cool cuz it makes Mummy & Daddy laugh when I say it, and I like that. Sometimes I just say Hi, like yesterday morning when we got up. And sometimes I say it when Mum or Dad asks me to. It’s a fun game!
I had the BEST weekend – I went to stay at the home that my cousin Conner lives at. It was the best! Daddy, Mummy & I got to stay with Chris, Amber & Conner at their home. We slept in our own room, and I got to use Conner’s pack n play to sleep in – I thought it was very nice of him to share with me! We played with toys, and we all went to dinner along with Ambers Daddy! He was really nice, and he told funny stories! Conner drank his milkshake…that was funny too! We were there for Conner’s 1st birthday party! It was the best party, and Conner had a good time too!!! There were lots of kids there to play with and I had a great time. I hope that I get to see him again soon.
Well that’s all for this week.
I love you all!

The Weight Debate
1) Wait..I'll show you what I like to do with my bottle
2) I LOVE to stand with this toy!!
3) Me and my friend, Zelin - I love her!
4) Meet my new cousin, Zachary
So, I went to see my GI Doctor (and I know now... NO relation to GI Joe, FYI) and they weighed me and then had a chat with Mummy. It appears that I've only gained 2 ounces last month and that's not such a good showing for a growing boy. Maybe for Cellar - it would be fine but as we all know, I am FAR larger than Cellar...she's just a tiny cat! So they determined that there wasn't really any room to try to get more food and stuff into me, so they need to just get more calories into me. We're trying a few new things now... a little something called DuoCal is supposed to give me more cals (fats and carbs) but not change the flavor of my foods. (Which was something I HATED with using the formula in my food...yuck ee!!) Mummy says it's one step forward and two steps back with me and eating... I do try, but these added carbs and stuff is making me not go poo - and that makes me not want to eat. I hear something about more prune juice and water. I hope that works!

Other than that...I keep trying to talk for real. Just this morning I said Mum... which made my Mummy soooo happy! I have also said "stomp, stomp, stomp" which actually sounds more like "tom, tom, tom" when I say it...and I said "yeti, yeti, yeti" which sounds more like "yeah, yeah, yeah" when I say it. But I'm really trying. I talk and talk all the time - it seems though that I am the only one who really knows what I'm saying!! I shall keep trying!
I have outgrown something else this week... my 12 month footie pajamas! I am too tall for them, they pull on my shoulders when I wear them! OK, sure the 18 month ones are really still too big...but I have room to S-T-R-E-C-H!
Guess what else happened this week?? My new cousin came. I think that the stork came and brought him to the same hosptial that I was in, but he stays in his parents room with them. WOW - lucky!! His name is Zachary, and he is about 1/2 the size of me in weight...and a meare 10 inches shorter than me. I heard Mummy say he wears clothes that are 3-6 month, he IS big!! He's also very sweet, and he sleeps a lot. He didn't seem fussed by all of my talking and yelling... he's a GOOD sleeper!
Well, that's it for this week. I love you all!

Monday is Funday...
Well...I hope you've all had a good week, cuz I've had a GREAT one! I have been doing that eating thing we talked about last week, and I'm getting really really good at it. And the drinking thing??... hold onto your hat, cuz I've gotten so good at that you won't believe it! A couple of times this past week, I've actually finished everything in my cup!!!
Mummy & Daddy have friends who have come to visit all the way from Turkey. They have a little girl too...and she is lots of fun! She is really cuddly and sweet, and she likes to hold me on her lap and kiss & hug me. She squishes my cheeks a lot as well - which is fine with me so far. :-) So their names are Auntie Jen, Uncle Orkun, and Zelin (Zay-lin). We've been having lots of fun, and they're going to be around for the whole week! Next week when I write my blog, I will have a couple of pictures for you to see!! Now we're invited to go visit them in Turkey, and I'm excited to do that someday. I've had turkey to eat, and I liked that - so I'm guessing that it will be similar...hmmmm...
I have an appointment tomorrow with my GI doctor...I wonder if they might be in any way related to GI Joe... what do you think?? Anyway, I find out tomorrow how much weight I have gained this month. I can't wait to see since I have been outgrowing my clothes and all that stuff. I'll be sure to let you know how it goes!
I don't have any other news right now. But I'll be back in a week!
I love you all!!
