We went to Penn State last weekend and had a great time. There was lots of singing which I really enjoyed and everyone seemed to love me! I even slept well in the hotel despite dad's snoring (mom tells me I snore too, but I don't believe her...). We stopped at the Lion on our way out of town to get a few photos - I was wearing my pj's because it was pretty chilly and I didn't have any other warm clothes!
I went back to the doctor yesterday for my 9 month well baby check up and the doctor said I look "perfect." I am 17 lbs, 8.5 oz and 28 inches tall (again, tall and skinny baby!). My head circumference is still very small, but my doctor said "Small heads mean small hats" and wasn't worried about it. Developmentally, I'm right on track or ahead of where I should be. And my cough FINALLY seems to be gone. My pertussis culture came back negative last week, so at least we know I didn't have what mom did. My doctor even gave mom the booster vaccine so she doesn't have to go back to her primary care doctor. If any of you haven't had it, you really should get it - it's the new tetanus booster (Tdap) for adults that now has the pertussis vaccine in it. It's relatively new (2005), so most adults have not had it yet. You really should get it, particularly if you are ever around small kids.
I'm guessing most of you heard about the Metro crash on Monday evening. Mom does take the Red Line train for work, but wasn't anywhere near where the crash happened. It just took her over 3 hours to get home - they had to stay late at daycare with me and I was hungry when she finally got there!!! Here is the latest article about the crash in case you haven't heard...
I'm back to not sleeping so well because I've learned a new trick. When I wake up now, instead of rolling over and going back to sleep, I sit up and can't figure out how to get back down! This goes on for several hours after mom puts me to sleep, then I finally stay down for the night (usually). Hopefully this is just a short phase and we can all get back to the "normal" routine and get a full night sleep soon!
I think daddy had a good first Father's Day, but he was pretty tired after the Pennharmonics reunion the night before. He got his big gift even before Mother's Day, but mom let me paint a picture for him that we gave to him on Thursday night. I had a blast with the paints, but I tried to eat them...mom didn't think that was such a good idea.
I get to meet my Great Aunt Jenny and mom's cousin Kaitlin this weekend! We're going to meet at Great Grandma Speichers home in Indiana, PA. I'm excited and mom hopes I'm good in the car and I don't scream like I usually do. Mom and dad say that's pretty nerve wracking and makes it difficult to drive, but after a while, I just don't want to be in my car seat anymore!
Finally, HAPPY BELATED FATHER'S DAY to everyone! Mom is hanging her head in shame because the Father's Day cards that she wrote are still in her work bag :( She'll send them tomorrow, but I'm sorry they're so late!
Till later!
