Daddy's taking me for a ride on the lawn mower - I loved it and laughed the whole way! On April 16th, I got my tonsils and adenoids out... something about helping me sleep at night. Anyway, I was quite the patient, except for when mommy tries to take a picture of me. Mommy says I recovered so well and she's so proud of me. I loved drinking pediasure and did decide to start eating a few days later and gained all my weight back!
Mommy and I went for a photo shoot in the bluebonnets this week. They are absolutely beautiful right now so I put my best smile on and we were off! I was able to sneak a few petals in my mouth - yum! I'm such a cutie!!! This is my new sitting position the past couple weeks - everyone calls me a gopher! I like to bounce up and down on my knees. Mommy was washing my cups and I peaked over the couch at her in the kitchen. She came running around the corner, camera in hand, and so this is my best "What do you want?" face (with a little residual fig newton on my lip). Mommy's purse was my motivator so now she's curious how to clean off the newton... I offered to help but she wasn't so interested... ; )
I'm coming to get you! Oh no, wait a minute, I'm diving at you! No true crawling yet, but I have taken a couple small steps a few times. I've also abandoned my swim crawl and pretty much do an army crawl. I pull myself on my elbows across the floor, doing both arms at the same time. I can't say its more efficient, but I really don't want to resign to doing the "typical" 4-point... I'm not really into typical.
Hi! I am the world to my parents, and as you read about me, you'll understand why. I have Angelman Syndrome. I look forward to your visits so visit often because I'm a very busy little girl! I also have a little brother, Luke, but don't worry, I always try to steal the show!
Be sure to leave me a comment! If you want to contact my mom, the e-mail address is kenarichert@msn.com.
