I have been bugging Mama to write this blog for weeks now,
but she has been blowing me off! Sure,
she only had about 20 important things going on, but don’t you agree with me
that my blog should trump all else? We
are in the middle of packing, so Mama is pretty scatter-brained. In case you didn’t know that we were moving,
I convinced Mama and Daddy to buy me a new house. I just didn’t think our old one was fit for a
king! We’re still in Napa, and pretty
close to our old home…in fact, I picked this one out when I was out on a walk
to the park! Pics on the new house to
come after we finish the move next week.
My biggest excitement in the past few weeks was a trip to
Arizona last weekend to see the Friesen’s, friends of Mama & Daddy’s. The grownups were nice enough, but I got to
play with Alden (5) and Corinne (almost 3), which was much better than hanging
with the grown ups. They have a swing
set and a sand box, as well as two cool doggies that I had fun playing
with.
The biggest highlight was going out on a boat for the first
time. I tried to tell Mama that I can
swim, but she made me wear a lifejacket just in case. The grownups did some water skiing and wake
boarding, and finally after much pleading from me, I got to go out on the wake
board! Hooray! I had a blast! I love being naked, looking in mirrors, and
water…so being on the lake definitely made my day!
Hmmm what else??? I
can walk, though I refuse to do it for other people yet. I kind of like holding Mama’s hand, so I insist
that I must hold onto one finger in order for me to walk around. In reality, I don’t need it, but it’s
comforting to know that I can hold onto her if I stumble. I’ve been perfecting my technique, so by the
next time you hear from me, I’ll amaze you with my ability to walk
unaided. I’m quite a climber too – I
love stairs (much to Mama’s chagrin!). I’ve been practicing my climbing and my
people skills in my weekly playdates with my Kindermusic friends. I continue to work hard on my eating, but its so
much easier to be fed through my gtube!
More to come in the next post on my new home and my new skills...stay tuned to find out!!!
