It's been a long week!

Not much new to report here. Last Saturday, mom took me to PA for my Great-Great Uncle George's funeral. Mom tells me that he is Great-Grandpa Coble's brother. Everyone was sad, but I tried to lighten the mood a little and it was nice to see grandma, grandpa, Great Grandma, Great Grandma, Elenor, Sue and Clay. I spent a LOT of time in my car seat, but was pretty good all day. I even got to see 3 new kitties, one of which looked exactly like Raz, but about 10 lbs lighter :)

Mom also got to talk to my Great Grandma Speicher on the way home and she is now safely back at home and feeling better. I'll get to see her again and will get to meet my Great Aunt Jenny and Cousin Kaitlin later this month!

Mom ended up coming down with a bad respiratory infection and was home with me all week. She had a fever for 6 days straight, despite antibiotics, tylenol, and ibuprofen. It was (and still is) no fun for any of us. I had to go to the doctor several times to make sure that I don't have it. They don't think I do, but we'll have to wait a few weeks to know for sure. I only had a fever for a day, so it's probably just the same cough I've had for quite some time. In the mean time, dad and I are also on antibiotics and I had to have a chest x-ray, which was not surprisingly clear. I'm now 16 lbs, 13 oz. I've outgrown all of my 9 month clothes that have feet in them (guess I'm tall and skinny), so mom had to buy a bunch of new pajamas.

Since we had so much time at home this week, mom put up my play yard in the family room. It's a giant gate that we put up so I can move around and play with my toys without climbing up the bookshelves, TV or entertainment center! All I want to do is stand these days, so it was only a matter of time before I tried to pull myself up on the TV and that just wouldn't work! It's fun to have all of my toys in one place - they can't get too far away from me! But I don't like it when the kitty stands just outside of the gate and I can't get to her :)

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but I've been waving to people and giving high fives! Here's a short video from this morning - I also imitate people sometimes :) You can see my 4 teeth in the video - 2 on top and 2 on the bottom. There's a 5th that's about to come through on the top, but you can't see it here.



These aren't the greatest, but here are a few photos - one from the Washington Freedom game last Sunday and one from this morning - I didn't want mom to take my picture!














































Till later...
