Dad said it was ok for me to stay in my pajamas and that Keillor and I could relax on Mom and Dad's bed while having my beverage this morning. It was his ploy to get us both to sit still for some pictures. It was only semi-successful...
Clearly Keillor loves being on the human bed!
Pointing to my bottle.
Petting Keillor nicely.
It typically takes about 15 shots before Keillor and I both look nicely at the camera at the same time.
Notice the lady propping me up in the background!
Summary of the month: I am getting really good at communicating what I'd like. My pointing and grunting has become incredibly specific and I'll even use a few words when asked. I say "dada" all the time, but it doesn't always refer to Dad. It's just fun to say! And over the weekend I learned to roar like a grizzly bear!
Meal time is always fun for me, of course. Mom was on some sort of cleanse diet the past two weeks and she cooked all sorts of good stuff for me. My favorite was the different fish dishes and the broccoli soup.
My mobility has taken a bit of a hit with the cast, of course, but there's nothing that I can't do really. I still take Keillor for one or two walks each day, I still help Dad at Home Depot, and Mom and I have been shopping once or twice in the past week. I've been traveling in the backpack carrier a bit more than the stroller because my cast is the perfect shape for the backpack sling.
Aunt Jill and Uncle Jeff sent a little scooter board for Christmas (like you used in elementary school gym class) and I'm learning how to push myself around on it. In fact, I'm so good that Dad is going to need to rig a harness up to keep me from pushing myself off of it! Don't worry, we'll share a video at some point.
