A Few Highlights

Sorry about my lack of post this week, but sometimes it just doesn't seem like there is much new news to share. I will at least touch on some highlights of the last couple of days....

Monday - Surprised Daddy with a visit at work and stole him away to go get an ice cream cone, then Mom took me to Sears for portraits. The ladies there were doing all sorts of crazy things and I kept giving them smiles!

Tuesday - Mom, Dad and I went to my friend Caleb's first birthday party. He got cake and presents! I can't wait for my first birthday!!

Wednesday - I've been trying out some new foods now...still baby food, but they are a little thicker and all sorts of new flavors. After dinner, Mom, Dad and I took a walk down on Market Street with the doggies. They always seem to attract more attention than me!

Grandma's Visit

How was your weekend? Mine was good! Grandma Peterson came to see me on Saturday. It was so good to see her. She is so funny and she just can't seem to stop laughing when she is with me. We spent the day together here at my house. We hung out by the pool with Mom and I played with my toys. I also got to play in my own little swimming pool with some cool froggies that Grandma got me. They would light up in the water. On Sunday, I hung out with Mom and Dad at home in the morning. Then we went to church, which was fun because they played lots of music and I just sang right along with everyone. The rest of the day I was home, enjoying my toys, napping, eating...you know, usually baby stuff.

What's New?

What's new with me? Well, yesterday night I took a walk in downtown Corning with Mom, Dad and the doggies. There were lots of people down there for Race Fever, whatever that is. Something to do with the NASCAR races in Watkins Glen. Anyhow, we took a nice walk around and Mom & Dad got ice cream. They didn't share any with me this time :-(!

Today, Dad took the day off from work and we spent the day with Great-Grandma & Grandpa Young at the lake. It was a cool day there so we were inside most of the time. I took my jumper with me to show them what a good bouncer I am. We stayed the whole day, and around dinner time, my Grandma Betsy came by to see me with her friend Jay. I sure love being the center of attention and I sure got plenty of it today!!

Couch Potato

Yesterday, I went over to hang out with my friend Tully. Mom takes me over there every once and a while to visit him and his Mom, Sarah. We usually hang out for the afternoon at their house. It always seems to rain when we are there...strange! They have this big, fluffy couch that I like because I can sit up all by myself. See!

Mom and I took lunch out to Dad today. We haven't been out to see him at work in a while, so it was fun to pop in and spend some time with him. Then we went over to Old Navy. Mom was looking for a new outfit for me, since she wants to take me to get photos taken this weekend. She is taking pictures of me all the time, but she says that she wants to get some professional portraits since I have hit my 6th month milestone.

Growing, Growing, Growing!!

Today I went to see Dr. Alexander for my six month appointment. I was a little leary of being there this time. In the past, it never bothered me much, but the last few times I have been there, I had to get shots. Unfortunately, today was no different. I had four shots in my legs, all vaccinations that are suppose to keep me from getting bad sicknesses. I know they are good for me, but they hurt!

The fun part about the doctor's appointments are seeing how much I have grown. Here are my latest stats along with my last measurements, so you can see just how much I am growing!

......................4 Months Old .........6 Months Old....... Percentile
Length ........ ....25 1/2 in. ................ 27 1/4 in............... 75th
Weight ...........15 lbs. 3 oz.............. 17 lbs. 8 oz.............. 68th
Head............ ...44 1/2 cm............... 45 1/2 cm............... 90th

Dr. Alexander said I am in perfect shape and a healthy, growing boy!

Fun with Friends

This morning I woke up early to our guests who drove in from Indiana. It was Rich, Deb, Trey and Kellie, Daddy's bestest friends from out in Indiana. They drove all through the night to come and visit us. Although they check out my blog, this was the first time they got to meet me and for me to meet them. We had a great day hanging out at the house and going down to Market Street for lunch. When we got home, we had this huge thunderstorm roll through. There was hail the size of nickels falling from the sky and the wind blew so hard it took down big branches from the maple trees out front. Then, we had a bunch of friends over for dinner. One of my bestest friends came by, Tully Dane!! His Mom and Dad (Ed & Sarah) brought him over. I was so happy to see him! He has grown so much in the last month. We are practically the same size and he is 3 months younger than me!
