Dear Grandparents,
Hello :) There has been a request for me to start writing my own stories again by one of my grandmas, I can't promise I will be able to every week but I will do my little baby boy best.
This first video is of this week's walking attempt. It pretty much typifies my abilities to date. I am frustrated at my lack of balance and when I tell my right foot to move and the left one stubs it's toes on the ground instead :( But, fear not! I am facing my fumbles and just keep trying, through all the bumped heads and bruises, I keep getting back up.
Here is a picture of my new friend, Rayne. She is one month younger than me, but could kick my diapered butt! Oh! You can also see my teeth on this one :)
Shortly after that picture went down to the river play area, mom tried to keep me out of the water and just get my feet wet because we had no swimming suit or change of clothes, but...
As you can see I managed to plonk myself right down and play anyway. I spent the rest of the outing naked, I kept hearing mommy tell people not to "judge" her and "of course he has sunscreen on!" so I just kept smiling and giggling to help let people know that I was having a great time.
Thursday was a playgroup at the community water park in Brighton. This is me on the lazy river, it was so soothing...until the wave maker kicked on, and then it was fun until the second lap when I bonked my head on the sidewall...mommy says it will be lucky if I can remember my own name by the time I am five...
That Rayne girl is always all over me! She pulls at my hair, but I get back at her by grabbing at her teeth. It's all flirting though and I might have been caught kissing the top of her head...maybe. I am still denying it though.
Who is that goofball? Nah, just joking, it's me.
That is when the fun ended...I spiked a fever for the next three days. Doc said it was a virus, my fever broke on Sunday, and a rash broke out, the end of the virus. Now I might have an ear infection, but I might just be getting over one, either way it should not interfere with our trip to see Grandpa John and Grandma Nancy, keeping my fingers crossed that the doc visit tomorrow is an all clear instead of antibiotics.
Anyway these pics are from my first diagnosed illness, Hand foot and mouth disease, you were a worthy foe! Here mommy is trying to cool me down during a high fever, with a frozen fruit pop.
"No, seriously, no more milk, dude."
Engrossed in Blues Clues in a rare kid show appearance on the TV, mommy said being sick is the only time she feels really comfortable letting me veg out.
And this one was just for you, mommy asked me to smile for my grandmas and grandpas and this is the best I could muster.
Talk to you all after my trip to my Texas dwelling grandpa and grandma's swimming pool...I, I mean, house, mommy said I mean house. ;)-
To all of my grandparents,
With love,
Leif
PS. I am officially 18 lbs :)
