Walking to Recovery - April 23, 2009

Hello Everyone. As some of you may know I went to the doctor earlier this week to find out that I had an ear infection in both ears! Yikes! Mommy was so worried. Luckily, my ear issues weren't too severe, so good thing Mommy took me to the doctor when she did. Now that I have been on antibiotics I am on the road to recovery! Some big news happened over the weekend... I AM WALKING 100%! I started taking off on my own on Saturday, April 18th! Daddy was in Chicago for the Cardinals/Cubs baseball game to later discover that the game would be cancelled. He was disapointed, but I quickly turned his spirits around when he came home to see me walking! I am still talking up a storm too. My new thing now is "All Gone." Enjoy my photos. Love you all.

Easter Weekend 2009!

Hello Everyone. I hope all of you had a lovely Easter weekend! Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Gramma and Grampa's Farm for the Easter weekend. Plus, Daddy celebrated his 34th birthday, so that made it even more special! I surprised Daddy by getting him a t-shirt that said Best Day... Hands Down, and I used paint and placed my hand prints in the middle of the t-shirt. It turned out really cute, and he liked it a lot. Mommy surprised Daddy, and was able to win two tickets to the Cardinal Baseball game on Easter Sunday. Mommy and Daddy said I was so good that you didn't even know I was at the game. I just sat on Mommy's lap the whole time, and didn't make one peep. I must have been tired for that to happen...lol. No, really, it was all very exciting with the lights and music! While we were at the Farm I got to experience my first real Easter Egg Hunt! I found six eggs with Mommy and Daddy's help. Some other big and exciting news.... I started walking completely on my own Easter weekend! I took 42 steps all by myself on Daddy's Birthday! Enjoy the photos of our fun weekend. I love you all, and miss you very much.

I'm Gonna Get You - April 1, 2009

Hello Everyone. I have been busy these last few weeks learning to walk, talk, and even sing! So far I have been busy saying uh oh, ball, dog, and I just said puppy for the first time today! I also can meow like a cat. What are Mommy and Daddy teaching me?! I love to sing "Take Me Out To The Ball Game with Mommy and Daddy. I am also busy playing "come and get me!" I have mastered how to open and close doors, which you can see in the pictures below. You will also notice that I have been busy playing with my neighbor's dog, Broodus. He gave me a bath the other night with his big sloppy tongue. I didn't mind it at first, but I got a little frustrated with it after a while. I know he's just trying to show his love for me. Anyway, I'm glad the warmer weather is finally making its way here! Happy Spring, everyone.... and Happy Easter as well!
Love you all.
