4 1/2 months

I'm getting to be such a big boy now. Let's see, what's been going on for the last month. Mommy still isn't back in her regular suite yet, and they told her last week that it will be another 12 weeks! She's still working in another suite, so she's keeping busy with her work. Daddy has had lots of silly hours at work so sometimes we get to spend special time together in the morning, and then I have special time will just Mommy at night. Sometimes I want to see Mommy and Daddy together. I am learning new things all the time. I can roll over and over and over and over. I love to play with toys. I am working on new sounds and really want to talk. I like to say M and B. I said Mama and Mom, but I don't know why. Uncle Paul taught me to say "Blah" I have two buttom teeth that are coming in. Sometimes they really really hurt and I let Mommy and Daddy know about it. I still don't sleep through the night and sometimes I want to see Mommy every 2 hours again like when I was a little baby. Mommy and Daddy were happy I went back to sleeping longer. I go to sleep a little earlier now so that I can wake up and play with Mommy and Daddy before they go to work. On Jan. 30 I had my 4 month check up. I am 15 lbs 3 oz. and 27 inches long! I am a long skinny boy:) On Feb. 7 I went to see Dr. A. my bone doctor. He took more pictures of my feet. My left foot is normal. I don't need to wear the brace anymore and it doesn't look like I will need to have any surgery. My right foot still has the brace. Starting in the beginning of March I have to have casts again. Then on March 31 I will have surgery on my right foot. Then I'll have a cast for 4-6 weeks. Then I will get another brace. Mommy says that once I get that brace if the doctor says it's ok, then Mommy is going to sign me up for swimming lessons. This past month I also celebrated Pop-Pop's birthday, went to my friend Desiree's birthday party, and celebrated valentine's Day. I exchanged gifts with my very first valentine Laura in MI. She gave me a hand made blanket (her Mommy helped her make it) and a bumble bee teether. Mommy and Daddy gave me a microphone just like Daddy uses at work. I can record my voice singing. Mommy and Daddy took me to get my pictures taken this month took. They dressed me up like a churub, I'm not sure about this. Time for dinner. Oh Mommy and I updated my whole photobucket. Just click on this link:

Love always,
Gideon

Gideon,
I enjoyed reading your blog - you are getting to be such a big boy!

Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa are here visiting, since Cousin Charlie was baptised this weekend. Cousin Julia and Cousin Abi had lots of fun running and playing. It was warm - high 70 - and they could blow bubbles outside:) Too bad you are so far away, and couldn't come too:(

Love, Great-Aunt Kitty
