Growing and Growing and Growing...

Whew...it has been a busy couple weeks. Dad and Java went to North Dakota to go hunting a week ago so Mom and I had that weekend to ourselves. My Mom's friend, Chelsei, had to work so her daughter, Macie, came over to hang out with me. She's 9-years old and is a lot of fun to hang out with because she shows me a lot of attention. If you don't know me well enough, I like when people play with me. It was a good weekend, but I was happy to have Java and Daddy back home. Java's chest didn't seem to bother her, but she did hurt her paw the first night out there. Right now Java is healthy and injury-free!!

A few days ago, I had my 4-month check-up. I am happy to report that I am now 16lbs 2oz and 25 1/2 inches long! I am old enough to start eating rice cereal. I got to tell you, I was not a fan it the first time. I think Mom thought there would be no problem with this transition, but she quickly learned she was wrong. After a couple days I have learned to like it and the second time went much better. My parents got that on video, so enjoy!!

Besides being able to eat rice cereal, I am getting really strong. I'm getting close to rolling over by myself, but still need a little help. I am also getting close to sitting, but without some support I tend to tip over. If I grab at my toes, I am able to sit unsupported for a few seconds.

I'm still not sleeping throughout the night. I still need to wake up 1-2 times a night. I know my Mom is hoping this changes soon, but only time will tell!

Daycare continues to be fun! I still do not have any kind of routine and Mrs. Angie has accepted this about me. So, everyday is different, but I enjoy it!

Well, I think that is it for now!

Love to all,

Simon
