My surgery

Hey there everyone! I'm back at my Bubbie and Pop-Pop's house. What a day I have had. I didn't have a very good night sleep. I just was fussy and crying with my eyes closed. My teeth hurt. Then at 5:45am Daddy woke me up so that I could eat breakfast. I wasn't too excited about having to get up that early. Then Daddy gave me a bath. He took off my cast and let me had a nice bath. Then I had to go to the hospital. I told everyone that I was starting to get hungry. They made me where a hospital gown. Luckily I have a diaper or else everyone would have seem my little butt:) I played with Mommy and Daddy and some of my toys. The nurses set up Shreck just for me. I wasn't really into it too much because I was getting really hungry. At 10 after 10 the anesthesologist walked me back into the OR to see my doctor. Then I went to sleep and they put an IV in my hand. A few hours later I woke up and WOW was I hungry. They let Mommy come back so that I could eat. The doctor showed Mommy pictures of my foot. They put a pin in my foot, and they lengthened the tendons in the front of my foot and the back of my foot. They then put me in a really cool cast. Mommy says that my friends can sign my cast. After a few hours they gave me some medicine and told me I could go home. I'm home now and a little sleepy. Guess what the nurses gave me. Apple juice. Wow that was really yummy, I've never had that before. Mommy says that I'm not allowed to drink lots of juice, but that I'm allowed to today. Ok, time for a little nap.
Love always,
Gideon
PS Mommy and Daddy took pictures of me and I'll try to get them updated on our photobucket site really soon.

6 months old

Everyone, even Daddy has told me that I really really really need to update my blog. I have been a very busy guy. I am 6 months old today. I am growing and learning every day. I had celebrated my first St. Patrick's Day and my first Easter. I have two teeth on the bottom and am now working on getting teeth on the top. I have eaten rice cereal and oatmeal too. Mommy is going to let me start with real food this week. I think I will ask her to start with sweet potatoes, they look yummy. I can sit up now and play. I am only one of two kids in my daycare class that can do that. I love playing with toys. I really want to crawl, but I can't because of the cast on my leg. My left foot is all better and normal. I had casts, then the brace and then cast again on my right leg. Tomorrow is my surgery. Mommy and Daddy seem worried about this, but I still play and dance like nothing has changed. I don't like the letter M as much now and I like B and D. I want to say Dada. I got my pictures taken yesterday. I was silly and didn't want to show off my big smile, but they got it anyway. Mommy is working on updating my photobucket site. Well I know this is short, but I will update more after my surgery, I'm getting sleepy. Goodnight!
