Keillor! Look! It's the camera!
Well, at least he makes a good back rest.
Let's be serious now.
Evidently we've continued last month's trend of ignoring Dad when he says, "Look over here!"
What a pretty necklace Keillor gets to wear.
Perhaps he just needs a little hand-holding.
Or maybe a little reassurance that it's ok to look at Dad.
Big things this month: I can eat pretty much anything I want now. Sure, teeth would probably help (still none), but I can gum most things. My diet still consists mostly of the baby food that Dad makes, but I get stuff off of Mom and Dad's plates now, too. My favorites this month: Kalamata olives, feta cheese, pesto pasta, orzo, cut up nectarines, pancakes and Cheerios. In fact, Cheerios are quite possibly the first brand I recognize. After I'm done with my meal each night, Mom or Dad gets the Cheerios box out of the cupboard and as soon as I see it I smile really big (and sometimes grunt with joy). Keillor gets excited, too, because he knows I'll drop a few on the floor for him.
Speaking of smiles, I am great at greeting Mom or Dad with a big one when they get home from work. I still love my wagon rides and I now sit upright the whole way without support from my pillow backrest. I am also good at tossing my toys out of the moving wagon.
The physical therapy sessions for my hips continue to go well. I roll over in both directions pretty well and my abdominal muscles are getting really strong. I am starting to get the hang of how to sit myself up and how to get into a crawling position.
I love Keillor. I'll try to reach out to him when eating and he likes to lay near me when I'm playing on the floor.
And Dad's plan of making me a Wisconsin Badger is starting to take hold. I now smile nearly all the time when I hear him sing "If You Want To Be a Badger."
