Snow & Videos

Today I saw my first snow. It's very white and cold. Mommy put me in a coat made for a 2 year old. She is so silly sometimes.

Here are 3 videos of me. Mommy finally caught up with all her video editing! Also all the pictures through November are posted on the site (links above)

Here is me yesterday playing with wooden blocks that nana, mommy & daddy painted for me back when I was in mommy's tummy.


Here is a video of me and my great-grandma!


Here is a video of me on my last day in Ohio! I was playing with Cole and Luke my cousins.

Nooblet

Noob n. a person who is new or inexperienced in a subject, usually an online game. Noob is short for "newbie", another slang term that comes from the word "new". The word "noob" or "newbie" originated in World War II. It was a word veterans used to describe new recruits.

I am definatly a noob, or nooblet as my shirt says. But I am learning every day something new!

7 months!

Weight: 18 pounds 1.5oz Height: 28.8 inches

Skills:
Physically: I can stand up leaning against a toy or box or coffee table for around 10 minutes without any assistance. Moving forward is still a challenge for me, somehow I can do it in my crib at night but not so much during the day when people are watching. I can feed myself cheerios and I can drink from a sippy cup.
Verbally: I am a chatterbox of vowels and consonants but no actual words still. I love to laugh and smile.

Likes: I like reading books. I like to play patty-cake and I like to give High-5's. Walks with the dogs. Going places like grocery stores, libraries, malls & restaurants - anyplace I can look at people and smile at them.

Dislikes: I dislike 7pm. I try so hard to stay up later than 7 but for some reason I just cant do it!

Highlights of the month and what is to come:
This month I moved to New Mexico. There was a lot of new people to meet and things to do. This upcoming month my mom will start a new job so I will have to go to daycare more often (fine by me! I love it) Christmas will be the highlight of this month. Our tree is up and I love looking at the lights. I have read several books about Christmas, and I am excited for Santa to come.

Fever

I got a fever, and the only prescription... is more cowbell.

Wednesday I had 4 vaccines and a flu shot. My mommy gave me Tylenol that day and night but Thursday afternoon I got a fever. It was 102.5 at the max and was pretty much 100-101 all evening. I had to leave daycare, I was nice to mommy and timed that phone call for 15minutes after her job interview ended. Last night I couldn't sleep. I went to bed at 7:30pm, woke up at 11 and wouldn't go back to sleep for an hour, then woke up again at 3:30 and again at 5:30. Having a fever is no fun!! Well I do get extra cuddles from mommy and daddy so I guess its not all bad.

Random things

This photo is about 2 weeks out of chronological order for my blog but I was just going over my November pictures to upload to the website and found this on mommy's phone! What a great picture of my grandfather and me!

Other exciting things today:
1) It is snowing with 26 mph wind gusts here in Albuquerque....freezing!!!
2) Mommy has a job interview this afternoon so I get to go to daycare, yea! It is for a PACU job at Lovelace Women's Hospital. Next week she should interview at University of New Mexico hospital also.
3) Daddy officially started his job this week, he gave me a business card so he must be really important. It says he is the Ops Team Lead for the Directed Energy Directorate, High Power Microwave Applications. (hopefully that is not top secret, I mean its on his business card so...)

Doctor Visit

I saw my new doctor today. She examined me and told me I am a perfectly healthy and happy boy (which I already knew). I weigh 18 lbs 1.5oz (45% percentile) and am 28.8 inches long (89% percentile). I also got 4 vaccines and a flu shot today! The doctor said I am doing great and should be sleeping through the night now. I was sleeping through the night when I lived in Ohio, but when I was traveling all over the country I started waking up again around 3am for food. Now that I am back home I will try to sleep all night again. My crib is much more comfortable than that pack n play. I have slept a couple times this past week from 7:30pm -5:30am, it just happens to be the 2 days mommy has brought me to daycare - that place is exhausting! So much to see and do I cant be bothered to take long day naps. I don't have another checkup until I am 1 year old. At that appointment I have a doctor visit, a dentist visit and more shots!

Enough blogging, I need some Tylenol and a nap after my busy morning.

ps. My height & weight stats prove I am no chunky monkey - I am a lean mean fighting machine like my Daddy!

Toasty-o's

For the past couple nights mommy has given me these little Toasty-o's to eat. She said it is fine motor skills practice, but I say its just good eating. I pick them up and then have to decide should I eat them or throw them at one of the doggies to eat. Afterward I take a drink of water from my sippy cup. It took me several days to figure out that sippy cup but now I am really good at drinking from it.

Chunky Monkey

Not sure why mommy calls me her chunky monkey. Its all muscle!

I love bath time, my new kitchen sink fits me perfectly and I get to splash water everywhere!

Razzzzzz

Here is a video of Dexter making all sorts of funny faces and noises.

Game day

In Honor of Timmy Tebow’s last game in the Swamp fans are asking people at the game to wear eye black with a saying or bible verse on them like Tim does for each game. Since I cant be there for the game and I am really too young to be putting stickers or black makeup on my face mommy just photo shopped some eye black for me.

GO GATORS!!!

Touchdown Tebow!!

Thanks, part 2

I am thankful for my new IKEA bookcase my daddy put together for me and I am thankful for all the toys that go in it! I went to a new friends house yesterday for thanksgiving and they gave me lots of cool toys they are too big for! Wasn’t that nice of them. Thanksgiving is fun, you get all the sweet potatoes you can eat! I hope everyone else had a fun Thanksgiving full of good food, naps and toys like I did.
