Grandpa Visits

My Grandpa is here for a visit this weekend. We've been having fun even though I haven't been feeling too good- Dr. Raker said my bottom molars are coming in and I've got a little cold. After my nap this afternoon, I took Grandpa to the park to show him around. We played in the sand and played peek-a-boo in the tunnel. He helped me slide down the slide- it was really FUN!

March of Dimes Walk/Trik/Buggie-a-thon

We had a Walk/Trik/Buggie-a-thon to raise money for the March of Dimes at school yesterday. The older kids got to bring their tricycles and us younger kids rode in the buggies or walked. It was a lot of fun. My school raised $3,000 for the March of Dimes. A couple of sample photos are below. You can see all of the pictures here.






Anna and Chico

Here's a video of me hanging out with Anna and Chico a couple of weeks ago:

No cast!!!

We saw the special doctor who looked at my x-rays and foot today. He took cut off the splint. He thought my foot looked a little swollen, but he pressed on all of my bones and it didn't hurt. Mom and Dad let me try to stand on my foot. I put it down, but I'm not ready to walk around on it yet. We're just going to take it easy for a few days and see how it goes.

anna, chico & TV!

Aunt Anna and Cousin Chico came over today to play. I had a lot of fun. Mom shot a bunch of video of Chico and me, so hopefully Dad will post it soon.

Since I've got a busted foot, Mom lets me watch TV as a special treat. I think she's just using it as a sedative.

i broke my ankle!

I took a spill yesterday and hurt my foot. I didn't cry and it didn't bruise or swell up, but it hurt to put weight on it so I couldn't walk or stand up. This morning we went to the hospital to check it out and it turns out I have a tiny hairline fracture in one of the bones in my ankle. My ankle is in a splint now, and we're going to see a pediatric bone specialist on Monday to figure out if I'm going to need a cast or not.

After the hospital we took a walk and went to the park. I played with a bunch of the other kids there and spent some time on my favorite swing!






Can't Stop

I don't let a little thing like a broken ankle in a splint slow me down!

Sun and Sand

Had some fun at the park today! It was a nice day out.

Mwah!

Last night my chicken, broccoli and sweet potatoes were so delicious that I started blowing kisses to Mom and Dad to show my appreciation:

I stayed home sick from school yesterday and got to play with Dad all day. It was fun! I crawled all over the house and tore the place up!

band in a box

Mom and Dad got me a band in a box for my birthday. It's filled with all kinds of musical instruments. This was supposed to be a video where I demonstrated how to use each of the instruments contained therein, but I decided to ambush the camera and cameraman instead.

calling all ducks

descanso gardens

Yesterday we went to Descanso Gardens with our friends Brett and Shae who just moved here from Pennsylvania. I got to see lots of pretty flowers, fish, ducks, geese, turtles and play in the grass!









happy birthday to me!

My family aren't very strong singers, but they sure do try hard.




Red Chair

I love climbing the red chair at Savta & Saba's house!

shots and stats

Yesterday we went to see the doctor for my 12-month checkup. I also had to get 3 more shots. I cried for a second because that's what babies are supposed to do when they get stuck with needles, but then I realized that they didn't hurt so bad. When we were leaving the doctors office people were looking out of the windows at a huge fire that was happening in the hills. Turns out it was further from our house than we thought. But there was a lot of smoke everywhere.

Here are my current stats:
Weight: 21.2 lbs. / 52nd percentile (up from 19.6/53% 2 months ago)
Height: 29.3" / 55% (28"/50%)
Head Circ: 46cm / 77% (45cm/70%)
