Reunited with an Old Friend


This is a picture of me with my old friend the vacuum. Mommy and Daddy used to run it so I would stop crying. Now I just like to play with the power cord.

I keep getting bigger all of the time. Last weekend, I took three steps all by myself! Ok, I held Daddy's finger for the last one, but the first two were all by myself. I haven't done it too much since then though. The first time I did it, Mommy and Daddy yelled so loud they scared me, so I'm not going to do it again until I think they can handle it.

Last Wednesday I got to do something very fun. Aunt Becky, Uncle Dan and Elizabeth met Mommy, Daddy and me for a trip to the farm. We got to ride on a train, feed some goats (I really wanted to get in that fence, but Daddy wouldn't let me), and go on a hay ride. We also got to pick out pumpkins to take home with us. Afterwards we all went to lunch. I can't wait until I'm big like Elizabeth. She got to drink chocolate milk and eat chicken tenders. I had to stick with bites of cheese and carrots.

On Friday, Uncle Mark's mom and dad were in town so we went to dinner. I was a good boy and loved eating bread and bites of my mommy's pasta. Mommy says I'm going to love carbs as much as she does. Saturday was very busy. We went to the NC State game to see the Wolfpack play Boston College. One time, I got hot and the noise was too much, so Mommy took me downstairs to feed me lunch. I finally calmed down and was happy again when Mommy took me to the part of the stadium where all the sorority girls sit (Mom's note-this is no lie. He quit crying immediately when all the girls started walking by). The Pack played a good game, but they lost by one touchdown.

Today we've just hung out at home. Mommy and Daddy took turns painting the bathroom downstairs while the other one played with me. I can't wait to see it when it's done. I hope the new toilet flusher is as fun to use as the old one.

I'll write again when I get back from Georgia this weekend. I can't wait to see Lauryn get married and to hang out with all of my family down there.
