Big update!

I know, I know, it's been so long, I've really got to get this blog updated. So much has been going on in my busy little life. Let's see I think the best way to update would be to put everything in a big list:
Halloween-this was really fun, I helped Mommy and Pop-Pop pass out candy to all of the kids. I dressed up as a pea in a pod. The costum was nice and warm.
Nov. 2-Nov.4 I took my first road trip to Bubbie and Pop-Pop's house. On Nov. 3rd I met Mommy and Daddy's friend Dawn. We all had a yummy breakfast. Then, Mommy got her hair cut. I kept pulling on it, and now I can't do that any more. On Nov. 4 it was my cousin Isabella's 4th birthday party. I got to meet Isabella, my Aunt Diana and Uncle Tony, and Tony's Mom, Mrs. Jackie. We had a nice birthday party. Then we had a party at Bubbie and Pop-Pop's house all for me. I got to meet lots of their friends and Mommy and Daddy's friends too. I also got to meet lots of kids, including my friend Dominic. He is about 6 weeks older than me, and his Mommy and my Mommy have been friends since they were little.
Nov. 5-My 1 month check-up at the doctor's office. I was 11 lbs 10 oz., and 23.5 inches long. That's the 95% for both height and weight. The doctor told me that I should be smiling, cooing, and lifting my head in the next month, but I had already been doing that. I had to get blood taken from my foot and a shot, I didn't like them, but the pain didn't last too long.
Nov. 7-I had my follow-up appointment with the orthopedist. He did an ultrasound of my hips, I slept through it, and everything was normal. Then they did an x-ray of my feet. I have something called Congenital Vertical Talus. My ankle bones aren't in the right place and I can't bend my feet down as far as they should be. So the doctor told us that he wants me to have casts. He couldn't do it that day, so we had to go back on Friday Nov. 9 to have my first set of casts to be put on. The casts go from my toes to the tops of my legs. I really didn't like them, they were heavy and made my feet hurt.
Nov. 8-Today I got my pictures taken. The photographer was really nice and the pictures turned our really well. I was sleeping for the pictures. Grandma and Pop came to visit me, they watched me while Mommy was at the eye doctor.
Nov. 9-After I got my casts, we all went up to Daddy's work for lunch. I got to meet some more of Daddy's co-workers that I didn't meet the first time.
Nov. 10-Grandma and Pop helped us buy our new Christmas tree. Then they had to go home to FL. Mommy and Daddy and I went shopping. I was really fussy, and cried so much between the 9th and 10th that I made myself hoarse.
Nov. 11-I turned 6 weeks old
Nov. 13-Mommy had her OB appointment and they said that she didn't have any more restrictions. Yea! Then we went and stopped by Mommy's work to say hi to everyone.
Daddy gave me my very first bottle. I liked having Daddy feed me.
Nov. 14-Mommy had to go back to the eye doctor and so that she could get her new contacts. I don't know why she didn't like me playing with her glasses. Mommy put me in the baby bjorn for the firs time with her. I was fussy, but it was because I was hungry.
Nov. 15-Today Mommy took off my first set of casts. I liked playing in the water, and splashing Mommy and getting her all wet. I was so happy to not have my casts on, but then Mommy took me to the doctor's again and they put new ones on:( It wasn't as bad as the first time. My feet are already chaning a lot. I will need to have surgery on my feet. We don't know exactly when it will be. At the latest I will be 6 months old.
Nov. 16-I had lunch with Mommy, Mrs. Jennifer and my friend Josiah. We both sat at the table in our car seats like big boys. We had lots of fun.
Nov. 17-I got to meet my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa. They came to visit. I also go to go see my Daddy give away money at work.
Nov. 19-Great Grandma and Great Grandpa had to head home to Pittsburgh, but I got to take some pictures with them. That night Mrs. Hannah came over and I met my friend Isaac. He is 7 months old. We had dinner today and I showed him my room. I can't wait until we're bigger and can play more.
Nov. 20-I sat in my bumbo today. Mommy just got it for me. I can't hold me head up all they way, but I think I will really like it. Uncle Paul came to visit. We went grocery shopping and bought our Turkey for thanksgiving.
Nov. 21-Back to the orthopedist for my 3rd set of casts. They are getting better.
Nov. 22-My first Thanksgiving. Lots of food and fun with Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Paul, Bubbie, and Pop-Pop.
Nov. 23-Everyone says that this is an important shopping day, but we didn't go this year. We were too sleepy.
Nov. 24-Today we spent most of the day shopping for Christmas and Hanukkah presents. It was lots of fun. I also went and saw Santa Claus. I was very good. I didn't cry, but I wasn't sure about smiling for him either. Mommy has to scan the picture in so that she can put it on the website.
Nov. 26-Mommy started back at work. Daddy brought me to see Mommy at lunch and dinner time. Daddy is staying with me this week and next week. We are having lots of fun playing together.
Ok, I think that gets us all caught up. I'm planning on keeping back with my schedule of updating everyone weekly on here as well as updating the picture on our photobucket site. Ok it's about time to eat again.
Love always,
