My Latest Tricks!







Hi everybody!!! I have had a GREAT week!!!!! I'm completely back to my 'normal' self! I am eating like a champ ~ even my Dr. John thinks so cuz I saw him this afternoon and I gained a whopping 11 ounces!!! WOW -- it would take me months to do that in the NICU!!! So now I weigh 21 lbs - aren't you proud of me?? I am HUGE-BIG measuring 31 1/2 inches tall, and I have finally begun to act like a true toddler. That's right, I like to do a little tantrum when things aren't going my way! I pitch a little mini-fit until Mummy or Daddy figures out what I need - or don't want. They don't last long - just a few seconds to a minute until I get my point across. I like to do things... for myself! And it's frustrating cuz I don't have the best motor skills as you all know -- but I CAN do this: I can pull myself to a standing position by holding onto the bar of my walker!!!! YEAH BABY!!! And I can spend all day doing my standing and sitting routine...with a little butt-shaking dancing in between! If I happen to be sitting and somebody puts the music on, I immediately pull myself up and start shaking my butt to the music -- I DO love to dance!!!!

In other news; my friends Sam & Alan turned 2, and I was invited to the party. It was at this really cool place where you could play all you want to!!! I played in the toddler section, and my Daddy helped me use the xylophone - which I loved. I did a little standing and sitting in there too - I do it everyplace that I can! I had a good time at the party, and I managed not to get to overstimulated - that's right, no melt downs for me!

I'm still waiting on these molars to come in...and my gums HURT!!! Sometimes just when I can't take it anymore, Mum or Dad give me some Motrin or Tylenol and I feel better. It hurts getting teeth - and from what I see they're loads of work with all the brusha brusha and all! I guess I don't have a choice though.

Well, that's about it for this week.

I love you all!!!
