March 28 - First hair cut!

The day has come where the hair in my eyes has gotten to the point where Mama says it needs to be cut.


My long locks from the back, complete with curls.


Nana (my cousin Nicole's other grandmother) did the actual cutting. We are in her kitchen, and I'm wanting to wiggle.


Taking a break halfway through because I wouldn't stay still. I want to watch what is happening at all times, you know.


Mama had the idea to give me a bottle, and suddenly my head was still!


All done, and looking handsome! (even with the formula on my face)

Hippo assisted walking

The day before yesterday I finally figured out how to really use the hippo toy. So now it's great fun and my parents got a little clip of video showing off my moves.

March 24 - a few steps forward

I took a few steps at a time, a couple of times today. Actually, Mama is thinking that they were more of a run rather than a walk. But I'm inching closer to the day of true walking. Then she's going to be in even more trouble.

My balance has improved to the point where I can reach things on desks much better now, so another round of "raise things up" needs to happen. Perhaps to be more complete than the first round.

Monday the Bullfrog

A guest post by Mama


Earlier today, before the snow adventure, Russell and I were in his room, and he was checking out things that I would rather he left alone. So I asked him "Where is Monday the Bullfrog?" He went over to his toy tub (on its side for easy toy grabbing) and pulled out the book toy and brought it to me. So I read it to him, even the part where Monday the Bullfrog "eats" him.

But it made me wonder just how much he may understand!

March 19 - First snow angel!

Today, on the last full day of winter, we had a snow storm. This is the view from the living room, looking out at the deck. Since Mama purchased a little snow suit (alas, already too small) for me about two weeks ago, she figured I could try playing in the snow today.


Mama and I are checking it out with me


Mama helped me make a snow angel! My first one!


Letting the snow fall on my face


I rolled over to check things out


One last look around before I decided that this wasn't fun any more.


Warming back up with Uncle Kevin


Upside-down fun!

Not recommended

I would like to tell all of you that I would not recommend getting bronchiolitis. It is often associated with Respiratory Syncitial Virus (RSV) and makes it hard to breathe. Fortunately Mama took me to the doctor and got me some medicine that is helping to clear my airways!

My how I have grown

I started out like this


Just look at me now!


Mama took me to the doctor on Friday, and I did not have to be poked with needles, so it was a pretty good visit. I chewed on some wooden blocks and banged them together.

I am 28 1/2" tall, weigh 18# 3 3/4 oz and my head is up to 18" around. I'm still not walking yet--but it's coming!
