We took my monthly photos with the pup before school this morning, but first I had to check out the stuff that appeared on the mantle while I was sleeping! Dad said I have to wait until tonight to open them, though.
Here's me doing the 'downward dog' yoga pose.
In the background you can see Keillor doing the 'sitting dog' pose.
Happy Birthday to me!
Major growing this last month:
In the last week or two I've started to string multiple words together rather than just a single word to describe things. My favorite phrases while at home seem to have something to do with the dog. "No, Keillor!" or "Keillor's in trouble!" or "Keillor, come!" And yes, those exclamation points are appropriate because I seem to always be shouting it. Of course Keillor still only really listens to Dad.
Also over the last two weeks, I've demanded to go to the gym each evening during our evening walks. Mom and Dad aren't sure how the request first started, but I love stopping over at Regis' gym to watch basketball and volleyball practice. All of the coaches have stopped over to visit with me, as well. The men's basketball coach even knows my name and gives me a fist bump each time we stop over.
It will surprise no one to hear I've been brain washed with University of Wisconsin Marching Band music since I was born, of course. And now when 'If You Want To Be A Badger' comes on the stereo I hop and clap with excitement. I'm also quite good at waving my arm during 'Varsity.' I also love pointing out pictures of Bucky Badger around the house or on our shirts.
I continue to enjoy school and love all the different things I get to do. My current favorites are painting, drawing and playing with clay. I'm a much more adventurous eater when at school, too. Mom and Dad have never seen me eat blueberries or pineapple at home, but I love them at school!
This morning, my teachers told Dad that I'm doing really well on toilet training. This was news to Dad since we haven't done much of that at home. That will change beginning tonight, I guess!
We've dialed back on physical therapy to once every two weeks now (instead of every week) and I continue to make huge improvements. We'll post a video soon, but I'm able to stand and walk on my own for more than just a couple steps and each day I get better and better.
I have my 2-year checkup with the doctor next week so we'll post the stats then.
