My Sincerest Apologies

I'd like to start off with an apology. My photographers were slacking off this week, so there aren't a whole lot of new pictures to share with you. I've had a talk with them, so rest assured, there should be more pictures next week.

My week started off great. Mom had the day off on Monday so we got to hang out. Well, she did have to go to her work for a couple hours to get some paperwork done, but when she almost turned into a popcicle (no heat in schools on holidays I guess) she came home. I hung out at G'ma Jan and G'pa Bob's. Megan was there too. I had a bath at their house and got to use this super cute doggy towel that my cousin Nate used when he was a baby like me.

Then we went to the doctor for my 9-month checkup. The best part-NO SHOTS! Woohoo! The doc says everything checked out great and I'm good for another three months or 3000 miles. Wait...that might have been the guy at the oil change place talking about my friend Pilot... I weigh 22 pounds and 5 ounces and I'm 29 inches long. After the doctor I had a nap then it was time to go have my 9-month pictures taken. That was fun and I think we got some pretty good shots.

New foods this week: noodles, Gerber diced apples, peas.

New tricks this week: I'm standing more and more without holding onto anything. I love to crawl all over my house and get into trouble. I think it's really funny to race Mommy to the bathroom. Sometimes I get there first but usually she's there slamming the door on all my fun. Seriously, what's wrong with playing with a plunger? I've done lots of giggling with Mommy and Daddy this week. They're funny people. I've been practicing my walking a lot this week with my walking toys. Here's a picture...

And here I am eating a duck in the bathtub. Mom and Dad don't understand the allure but I do it just about every bathtime.

And check this out!!! I can stand up in the bathtub, NO HANDS!! Mommy thought it was bad enough last week that I stood up holding on. You should have seen her face when I pulled this trick out of the bag!!!

Time for me to head out now. My apologies again for the lack of pictures. The good news is that my Grandma Trish and Grandpa Steve are coming up from Omaha to see me this weekend so there will be lots of photo ops!!

Have a great week everybody. Enjoy the nice weather we're finally having! ("Nice weather" being a respective term of course. I hear my family in Texas doesn't think that 25 degrees is all that nice. What the heck is it like there that 25 degrees isn't nice? Shoot, after spending so many days below zero, this 25 degree stuff is like a tropical heat wave!)

Love and hugs!
