Happy St. Patty's Day!!!

Here I am all decked out in GREEN for the holiday (and holding Grandma Sylliaasen's cell phone :). I went to my first parade with the Callahan's - the St. Patty's day parade downtown. I didn't know whether to be excited or afraid of the loud bag piper bands. I got tired toward the end, so I took a nap on mommy's shoulder.

visitors

A couple weeks ago we had some visitors - Grandma and Grandpa DeGroff, and cousins Jaylee and Trista!!

The baby gate

Awhile ago mommy went out and bought what she thought was a nice baby gate. She brought it home and discovered it was not wide enough to go acoss the openening of the stairs. So she returned it. Mommy and daddy got the measurements, then went out and bought another nice gate that was wide enough. Mommy was reading the directions as daddy was taking it out of the box and putting it together and mommy read "WARNING. Do NOT use this gate at the top of stairs. Take this warning very seriously." So they boxed the 2nd gate up and returned it too. This is the 3rd baby gate that they bought, and it took mommy and daddy hours to put it together and get it installed. Then daddy stained and varnished it. Who knew a baby gate could create such a circus.

A picture of my tooth!!

napping with daddy

I've been sick off and on over the last several weeks, and daddy has been "the baby whisperer". He has gotten me to sleep sometimes when even mommy can't. Oops. The flash woke daddy up, but not me.

mmmmmm. Mac N Cheese!!

Helping mommy put the clean dishes away.

I climbed up on the diswasher before mommy even knew it!!

Who knew a box of kleenex and an envelope could be so fun?

Crawling down the hall

I run this place now. (not like I didn't before) I am all over!! Mom and Dad have put covers on plug-in's cause I find them very interresting.

Spaghetti O's

I tried eating some spaghetti O's a couple of days ago and I love them!! MMMMMMMMM spaghetti O's

My 9 month doctor appointment

Yesterday I went to see the doctor for my 9 month doctor apointment. A little late since I am nearly 10 mo. old. I am now 17 lbs. 2 oz (20th percentile), I am 27.25" tall/long (28th percentile), and my head is 17.25" (65th perctile). I didn't have to have any shots, but they did prick my finger and test my hemoglobin. Turns out it is all good. But when the doctor looked into my ears, she said I had an ear infection in my right ear. I haven't been crabby or pulling at my ears or anything, so mommy and daddy were surprised. Anyway, I have to take this bubble gum flavored amoxicillin every morning and night for the next 10 days. Then I have to go back to the doctor and she will check to make sure it went away.

Crawling on all 4's

I've been making mommy and daddy nervous 'cause I like to climb up and stand on the seat of my chair. :)
