Well, before the snow left I got a chance to enjoy it a bit. Grandma Peggy found a sled for me and we had a chance to try it out. Dad wasted no time to take me to the top of a hill and send me on my way. I didn't go very fast, but Mom thought it was fast enough.
I had to get a real feel of the snow so in I went! I didn't want to move at first, but it didn't take long for me to get comfortable.
Dad was able to get out and enjoy the snow on his snowmobile a few times. He wishes he was able to get out more, but maybe next year. Mom on the other hand chose to stay indoors.As I mentioned in my last post, my family and I were planning on a trip to WI Dells for a few days. Adrian, Jeni and Aiden came to visit with us on Saturday, which was nice. Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Cat came to hang out with us on Sunday. We had a nice breakfast and did a little shopping. Unfortunately, the one thing I wanted to do with Aiden, I couldn't and that was swim. I got my first ear infection the beginning of March and to this day, I am on my 3rd round of antibiotics...let's just say it hasn't been too bad. Mom feels bad because she didn't even know I had an ear infection at first, but now she has tuned into the signs.
Onto good stuff...I am helping Mom and Dad baby proof the house on a daily basis. The world is pretty neat from ground level. I LOVE to crawl around and pull myself up on everything. I have tested my ability to walk, but I haven't reached that point yet...it's coming, though.
Today was my 9-month check-up and I weigh 21.6 pounds and I am 29 inches long. I have 4 teeth, but 2 more are about to come through. I continue to eat a lot of food that Mom makes, but sweet potatoes and pears are still my favorite. I've started to eat more even though my weight doesn't show it. Dad says I am burning calories with all my crawling around. Java continues to embrace all my annoying habits. I really like her dog dishes, and unfortunately I am prohibiting her from 24-hour access to her water.
Well, I think that's it. I feel like I have much more to share, but it's hard for me to recall over a month of things. Hopefully I'll have a chance to write a little more within a months time. Take care!
Love to all,
Simon
