catching up from Dec 2008

Mommy and Daddy have not been on here to blog about me in a while so I made Mommy get on and give an an update on me!

In December my Daddy took the WHOLE month off of work just for me!!! We were able to stay home, play, go out and do what ever we wanted and I was the center of attention, just like I like it!!!

I got to see my first snow! It was weird, cold and wet but it was fun! See Daddy and I playing in the snow in a snow suit that Nanna and Grandad sent me.

I did not like the Dr appointment mommy and daddy made me go to in December, they gave me 4 shots and I cried hard and got sick. I scared mommy when I got a temp of 103 degree's at 3am and would not stop crying! I did not feel good at all and I was telling everyone!! When I finally felt better I slept a LOT, ( I think mommy and daddy did too!)

In the middle of the month we took a LONG trip in the car, we took my dogs Hana and Callie and mommy and daddy and we drove about 1800 miles to Colorado Springs Colorado. It was not fun for me! I had to stay in my car seat long hours and I got bored, so I slept, I "talked" and I laughed at daddy who sat in the back with me a lot! I did not get to get out of the car much because it was to cold! Here I am in the car letting EVERYONE know I was tired of being in my seat!!! We had fun though, we sang Christmas songs, and listened to movies and looked at lots of snow out the window. There was one day it was very scary, we had to much snow that mommy could not see the road while she was driving and we had to go very very slow. A BIG truck had a problem and it as mommy and daddy said "jack knifed" in the road, I say it broke in half! It was scary! I think I have a picture of that too!

After the LONG and scary car ride we made it to my mommy's house she grew up in!!! I was at Mimi and Papa O's!! It was CHRISTMAS!!!

But before I could open the mounds of presents I had something special to do, I had to be baptised by Pastor Jim! It was weird for me, I was being held by Daddy in this long cloak that he wore when he was baptised and I had COLD water put on my head! But I know it was a special day for Mommy and Daddy, Uncle Jon and Mimi and Papa O, they all ( well not daddy) cried, we had a very special prayer ALL FOR ME and there were lots of people looking at me!Here we are!!! I also got presents and a big lunch after Church, Mommy fed me some fruit from her plate! It was GOOD!!!

Then it was Christmas time! I got LOTS of presents! I was spoiled!!! My family had to help me open the presents 'cause I am not so good using my hands yet! I got toys, stuffed animals, frames for my cute photo's socks and lots of clothes ( ok mommy next year I want more toys and less clothes!!! Clothes are for girls, I am a BOY!!!)

After Christmas, I started not to feel so good again! I had a bad cough, a very runny nose and a fever! Mommy and Daddy worried about me, so did Mimi and Uncle Jon, Papa O knew I was fine, he is a smart guy, but Mommy and Daddy decided to take me to the Dr's office since we had to drive back to Washington a few days later! Yup, I was sick! I had broncholotis ( easy for me to say mommy has to spell and type it!) There was nothing that the Dr could do to make me feel better... with feeling so yucky I decided to stop eating much, that upset Mommy because I lost weight! I was scaring mommy and daddy and Mimi and Papa O a little. I knew my body would make it all better soon!!!

So sadly after 13 days with my Mimi and Papa O we had to go home, back in the car, sick and sleepy I went, back with the dogs and the cold and ALL THOSE PRESENTS for me!
