1 Year Check-Up, Valentines, Snow, and More

Uh, my life is a lot busier now. For example, I just went to see Dr. Kaye for my one year shots on Friday. I got four shots. One in each arm and two in my leg. But more on that later.

It's a good thing that Mommy takes photos of the things I do. I don't know that I could remember it all. We had a BIG snow and so that meant Mommy wanted to take me sledding again. She hasn't quite figured out yet that I don't like to be all bundled up. So we go to Grandma Katy's and by the time I'm all dressed up and ready to go out. I'm hot and tired. The worst part of it is that Aunt Carol kept me company until Mommy made a path that she felt was safe enough for me to go down with her on.

Mommy gave up on me having fun outside and let me go back in with Grandma Katy where it's warm. I like to play in her house, she has lots of toys. There are tractors and a van I can push around too. Thomas and Mommy dug a tunnel in the snow banks that Grandpa Carl made with his skid steer. He even brought it to our house to plow the driveway!

The next day we had company! We had Grandma Karen, Grandpa Ed, Great Uncle Phil & Great Aunt Barb, Grace and Aunt JohAnna over for the big game. To be honest with you, I didn't really watch much of it. I was just happy to have Grace to play with me. We were racing around the room. Aunt Barb and Grandma gave me my dinner. I was a tired boy and didn't go to bed until the game was over.

Once it started to warm up Mommy and I went and played a little in the snow in the front yard. I got to see Molly! She came over to visit me. She brought me a Valentines Day present. I also got cards in the mail from Creenie & Pop Pop, Grandma's and Grandpa's too! Daddy and I got Mommy some flowers sent to her work.
She really liked them.

Mommy helped me with getting valentines ready for the kids at Day Care. I even got some candy and cookies! I'm not sure what Valentine's Day is all about, but it is always better with cookies.

The next weekend, Mommy dragged Daddy with her to work. So I got to go hang out with my cousin Hailey. Aunt Mary and Uncle Marshall were there too. I played with Hailey all day. We made some food in her kitchen. I was nice and let her cuddle with my Dr. Pepper pillow. Mommy says it is dirty, but I think it is just right.

Mommy & Daddy came to get me after I took a nap and then we went to see Great Aunt Barb and Great Uncle Phil. They were celebrating a long time together. I was having a lot of fun chasing around all of the kids. Grace and Braxton were there with Aunt JohAnna and Grandma Karen & Grandpa Ed. I even got to see Ava, one of my newest cousins!

The next day Grandpa Carl and Grandma Katy came over to our house for dinner! Daddy made my favorite spaghetti. I ate lots of noodles, carrots, and even garlic bread. That is some yummy stuff. I got to show Grandma all of my toys and I showed Grandpa where I keep all of my cars and balls.

My favorite game is "I'm going to get you!" I play it with Mommy and Daddy a lot. It is the most fun game ever. Mommy uploaded a video to prove it to you. She says that playing it is good exercise for her because we run around the house a lot. She said when it gets warm, we can play it outside!




This past Friday I went to see Dr. Kaye. I hadn't seen her since before Christmas! Mommy said that was a good thing. I got measured and weighed and stuff. Here are the numbers:

Length/Height: 30.75 inches = 76%
Weight: 26 lbs 9 oz = 90%
Head: 19.125 inches = 97%

I got new shoes over the weekend! They are like socks but have a cushy sole. Mommy said now that I have outside shoes I can walk so she doesn't have to carry me.
I walked to the car in the garage today, and from the car to the door at day care. I'm so used to being carried everywhere, it was very cool to be able to do it on my own.

Tonight we went to see Grandma Katy & Grandpa Carl for dinner. We picked up hamburgers. I had a cheeseburger. It was awesome. I like cheeseburgers...and peaches. Grandma had this toy that she said my older cousins played with when they were my age. She showed me how to use it and I figured it out. Everyone thought it was pretty smart of me to put the little yellow things in the holes. It's too bad that they didn't know that I have other toys that do that too.

Happy B-day Eve to my cousin Hailey!! She turns 2 tomorrow!! Maybe I will bring my singing Happy Birthday bear to her party...that would be very cool.

1 year 1 month

Happy 1 year and 1 month birthday to me, to me! I got a present of SNOW!

Mommy has had to work late a lot recently. She was gone most of the day this past Saturday at work. I played with Daddy all day, but I was wondering when she was coming home and went looking for her. I checked all of the rooms she is normally in, and couldn't find her. Soon after Daddy let me talk to her on the phone. I told her to come home right away, but she must not have understood what I said, because she didn't come home until I woke up from my nap.

One day after day care I got to go to work with Mommy for a while. I was helping her organize the papers she has in her office on the floor. I'm a good organizer, I made lots of piles of papers, they were almost all spread out, so you could see them all. That is how they are supposed to look.

Mommy spent the first night away from me a while back (Jan 15). I played with Daddy all day on Saturday. We watched cartoons, played with cars and watched some football too! We had pizza from Grady's for dinner. That is some yummy stuff I tell ya. I wish I could eat pizza for every meal!

On Sunday, I had a visit from my cousin Luci. She hung out with me while Daddy went to a friends house. I showed Luci all of the toys I got for my birthday. After she left it was me and Daddy again. Then I realized that Mommy was gone. I went and knocked on all of the doors to the rooms she usually is in. She wasn't there. I didn't get to see her until Monday morning. I don't know what she was doing, but I missed her a lot. I think she missed me too, she wouldn't stop kissing me for a long time and it took me a while to figure out why.

I did have lots of fun with Grandma Katy. I got to play with her and Grandpa one Tuesday night because Mommy went to help Leta and Bill with their computers. Grandma and I like to sing songs. Then on another night we went to visit because Daddy was installing a new computer for Grandma.

Grandma Karen came and hung out with me on a Saturday so Mommy and Daddy could have some time alone. We played and played. Once Mommy and Daddy got back I fell asleep with Daddy rocking me in the chair. That is the best way to fall asleep!

Last Friday I had my friend Presley come over with her Mom. We were rocking it out to Ke$ha again. She is a good dancer too. Better than I am. Mommy said she will post the video of us dancing.

This week has been real fun so far! Since we got this big snow, Mommy and Daddy got to stay home with me today! Mommy stayed with me yesterday. I miss Dawn and Brie and the kids at daycare though. I wonder if I'll go see them tomorrow. Mommy said that there is a lot of snow. We have a drift that is as tall as me, maybe even taller!

I sure hope Grandpa Carl made me some snow drifts. I want to play in the snow when it warms up this weekend!
