I am officially in
the double digits now, the big 10 months!
Here is what I was
up to this past month...
The Luck of the
Irish!
Well, I experienced
my first St. Patrick's Day, and can say I like corn beef and cabbage. It was
a fun filled day starting off with a special outfit to celebrate the day,
followed by a special Irish dinner and music! (My mom sure likes this holiday!!)
While waiting for dinner to be ready I decided to read the Northern Tool ad in
the paper, because after all I love to read! I was really excited to see all the
cool tools they had on sale, but something tells me I will not be getting that
table saw I got excited about. (Something about it being too dangerous?
ha)
Snow, Snow and More Snow...and maybe a little Spring
We were hit with
snow storm #1 of the month which left us with 12" of snow. It started to come
down late at night and continue into the morning hours. My dad packed up me and
attempted to bring me to daycare, and quickly called my mom to say "COME HOME"
because the roads were so bad (She left early to try and get to work, but didn't
make it too far!)...so we had a family day at home which was really
nice!
After about 2 weeks,
the snow started to melt some because we had a few days of really nice weather
and rain...but as I am finding, typical MN weather the warmer temps didn't last!
We got hit with snow storm #2 last week which dumped about 10" of snow on us. It
was crazy because our yard was finally clear as all the snow melted...but this
last round didn't stay long and melted pretty fast!
I think Spring is
finally here, and I am so happy about that! We took advantage of all the nice
days and have been putting some miles on stroller! I love being able to hang out
in my stroller and check out all the fun things during our walks. A special
thank you to my Auntie Joy for knitting me some pretty awesome mittens to wear
to keep my hands warm!
March Madness
Who knew so many people get into this basketball thing called
March Madness! I even got to fill out a bracket, but like most people I didn't
having the winning bracket. I was allowed to watch a little basketball on TV,
but wasn't all that interested. I did get my own basket ball hoop and ball to
play with in the tub to really get into the March Madness fever! I really like
playing with my new bathtub toy, and am really good and dunking the ball! (Check
out my arm muscles...on this photo of me dunking the ball!)
Crawling
I am a crawling
machine now...and I am FAST! No more army crawling for me, I am up on all fours
and can move very quickly. I roam all over the house, and like to pull myself up
on anything and everything. Nothing in the house is safe anymore so a lot of
things have been moved up high our taken out of the house completely. The coffee
table is one of my favorite things to pull myself up on, because that is where
the remotes are. (I have been known to record a few random things on the DVR to
surprise my mom and dad! ha)
I keep trying
to crawl over to the dog dish, but so far I have not been successful as my mom
and dad stop me....The dog's food just looks so tempting, they don't understand!
I try everyday, and they always stop me...I heard talk about them moving it, but
I am sure I will find a way to get to it eventually.
Teeth
I now have 4 teeth,
and two more on the way, two on bottom (with two more coming in) and two on the
top. With all these teeth I like to use them to chew on everything. I like to
chew on the coffee table, but I am told I am not allowed to do that....Booo!!
But, with more teeth now I am eating a lot more table food, and find I am really
liking things with lots of flavor. So far the only thing I really do not like is
scrambled eggs, but I love trying everything. This month I really liked my mom's
chicken and swiss with stuffing, I couldn't get enough of it!
Welcome to
Minneapolis
Katie and Diana came
to Minneapolis to visit for a weekend. We went out to breakfast and then went on
a nice walk to start the weekend off. That evening we went out for dinner
too,and it was fun. There was so much to watch and see as the chef cooks
everything right in front of you. Then to finish off the weekend, the following
day we went to the zoo because it was so beautiful outside. We had a good time
there, and I really liked seeing all the animals, but I think the fish were my
favorite! We topped off their visit by taking them to Caribou Coffee, since they
come from the land of Starbucks! The visit was really nice, and I am glad they
had the opportunity to see me once more and see that I am a happy, healthy and
very active little guy!
As you can see, I am
very active and busy...but I wouldn't' have it any other way!
Until Next
Month...
