Was It the Eggs?

So, I don't know. I think I might be sick today. Dad thought for sure felt like a had a fever first thing this morning. I was kinda cranky and whiny too. Dad gave me a bite of his eggs. I don't even like eggs, but I ate it anyway, and they made me gag. Then I threw up all over Mom and her work clothes. She was trying to decide if I threw up because of the eggs or because I was sick. Also, its been 12 days since my shots, and the Dr. said some kids get a fever 10 days after their shots, so maybe that's what happened. Anyway, I started getting more energetic, cooling down, and in a much better mood, so Mom went to work. She's on high alert today though, just in case Lini calls.

I've been better,

Another Life Lesson

We spent the weekend convertibling. Its a word. Look it up. OK, don't. We were off driving around all over from one end of the city to the next. It was a nice way to get outside and enjoy the weather. I even got a fancy new car seat. This was my first time in Miss Barbara Blue facing forward. MUCH less windy this way.

You're not going to believe what I did yesterday. While Mom was downstairs on the computer, she let me crawl around down there, basically unsupervised. There really isn't anything I can get into, so she thought it would be fine. Well, I heard Daddy come home upstairs, so I proceeded to crawl all the way up the stairs, unsupervised. Daddy looked over at me and almost died. He said, "hey buddy," in a very calm voice. Then, very calmly picked me up, then calmly called for Mom. She, still sitting at the computer, had NO CLUE what just happened. Daddy came down to see her, pale as a ghost. They both immediately were nauseous.

Then they took me to the stairs and tried to recreate the incident, supervised. I fell backwards at least 5 times, and luckily Mom was there to catch me. Talk about lessons learned and a huge wake up call to the parents. But for me, I've found a new place to have some fun. Can you believe, they still haven't gotten a gate?

Big Steps

I can navigate this step, going up, with no problems. It doesn't even slow me down. But climbing down it, well that's another story. It makes me cranky just thinking about it. I try to get close, but then I just chicken out. Dad tried to help scoot me to the edge, but I wish he'd just pick me up. Its easier, and then every body's happy.

PS - What was going on 9 months ago? There's a lot of birthdays these days. Shout out to G. Uncle Butch - Happy Birthday man, hope you have chance to enjoy it!

Street Music

Anyone wanna guess how I got here? Yep, its happening. Lini's been telling Mom that I have been pulling myself up for weeks now, but I've never done it at home. Until now. Its started out like this. The I thought, why not? And this was the final step. So, there ya go! More milestones, whether you're ready or not.

Yesterday's birthday party for Mr. Gunkelman was crazy! Like nothing I've ever seen before. We were all sitting there having cheese and champagne, all of a sudden a bunch of street performers came in, playing bongos, guitars, and honking horns! They even sang a happy birthday song. I was a little scared of the clown guy, but he made me a dog balloon, and Tom a balloon hat, so I thought, well, he can't be all bad. They were so fun! We had a great time, and here's the card I made for Tom. It is my first piece of artwork, and will probably be worth millions.

Fall for it,

PS - Shout outs today to again, Mr. Gunkelman (Happy 78! Shhh, don't worry, you're secret is safe with me.) And to my cousin Andrew - 18 baby! Time to buy a lottery ticket and hit the casino in Flandreau! And last but not least to G. Auntie Jodi, I know this is a big one, but trust me, you're more beautiful now then at 30 anyway.

Koozie Time

Most of you who know my parents, know that they can't drink any beverage without one of these can koozies! I finally got my own this weekend, and what a difference it makes on my juice. Heck, when its 100 degrees outside you need all the help you can get.

Today we're busy! There's grocery shopping, cleaning, shopping for lights for the outside of the house. By the way, the house is really coming along, but not finished yet. Don't worry there's photos coming. Our neighbors are even saying how nice it looks. It seems maybe we aren't the hillbillies of the neighborhood anymore, and maybe they'll all just over look the dead grass.

Later today we're off to my Mom's office for happy hour! I know, I hope they spike my sippy cup. NOT! (I'm bring it back.) It's Mr. Gunkelman's birthday tomorrow, and he invited ME to come to his party! Can you believe it? The only reason Mom gets to go is because she has to bring me. Now we know how she rates.

It takes two to tango,

Cute Little Green Frog

Since today is turning out to be a slow news day, Mom is making me post a few more of the pictures she took when I was swimming in my new frog pool. I know, its a little over kill, but she just insisted that they had to be shared. There's this one that I'm just barely squinting into the sun, and then this one that really shows my teeth and that I'm having fun. This one, I can't tell you what was going on in my mind, but it was a glimpse to my wild side. Finally I'll give you one guess as to who I'm looking at in this picture, and its not my mom. Hope you enjoy them!
