Picture one is self explanatoryt...bad hair day! Picture two is of me smiling which I always like to do. I know what you're thinking, I'm so cute. Mommy and dadddy are trying to get me to eat real food. Mommy takes me to feeding and swallowing classes with either a nurse or my grandma. Picture three shows me eating some chocolate pudding. I like to get a little taste of it, but overall I am not yet that interested in taking food by mouth. Mommy and daddy took me for a x-ray study to see how I am swallowing, but of course I would not swallow the barium for the doctor. Maybe when I get a little older and am a little more interested in food. As most of you know, I went to Monroe for the 4th of July to Nana and Papa's house to meet a lot of new relatives. I had lots and lots of fun! It was very nice to meet you all. I especially loved my cousins and second cousins that are close to my age. I gave them lots of kisses and smiles. Picture 4 shows me at Nana and Papa's on my zebra. Mommy and daddy bought me this fun toy to further improve my leg strength. It bounces up and down and I can spin in circles.









Picture 5 is me at Nana and Papa's with some of my cousins and second cousins. We all walked out to the river behind their house. It was fun. Picture 6 is another excited smile picture. Picture 7 shows me being creative with my colored pencils. Picture 8 shows me finding some nonintended uses for my toys.












Picture 9, another really big smile. Picture 10 is grandma rocking me to sleep. I was probably tired after she took me on a shopping spree. She really spoils me. One day she took me to Toys R Us and let me pick out whatever I wanted. Pictures 11 and 12 show some of those toys.

I thank you all for checking up on me. I'm doing just great as you can see. I'm really starting to talk and talk. I try to say just about anything that anyone else say. The other day I was saying hotdog because I heard daddy say it. Mommy started bring me upstairs to play in my second bedroom. I love being up there so much that all I say all day long is upstairs. I say the names of most of the animals in my books. I am able to identify and say the names of numbers in my books and much much more. The weather has been a little more mild so I have been getting outdoors a little more. I don't know what else to tell you all right now. If I think of more, I will add it in.

Keep your eyes open for a post on the upcoming golf outing for myself. This event is being organized and put on by a group of very special people including:

Tom Campbell, George Peterman, Mike Rhulig, Ann Caldwell, Nana, Grandma & Grandpa, etc.

Whoever else has contributed in any way, please speak up and I will add your name to the list!!!
