Busy Bee.....

I sure have been a busy bee lately.

The past 2 weeks have been kind of crazy around here.
I got the flu for the very first time in my entire life....I'm not sure if I should feel special because it wasn't very fun. But, I did get to stay home with mom and dad for an entire week and a half until I was all better. We played quite a bit and mom did lots of laundry.

When I was sick Dad had to travel a little bit, but Mom said "no problem, I can handle it." That was before she got the stomach flu....while Dad was gone...and while I was still sick. It was less than plesant for both of us. But heck, we are all better now!!!

Moving on...so Dad got to go to Minnesota (when mom and I were sick). He went to Uncle Michael's graduation for his Masters degree. It sure sounds like they had a great time. He saw Uncle Michael, Aunt Jodi, Cousin AJ, Aunt Sue and Uncle Don. They had a hoot! He sure is happy he made the trip and took the time to reconnect with everyone.



So, back to me....let's focus on me, the kiddo about to turn the big number 1!!! I've been a bit of a grouch this past week. Getting up at least 3-4 times/night and resorting back to only eating baby food. Mom and Dad didn't pick up on the hint, but I was getting another tooth....yup, #4 finally came through today. Thank heavens....I really had to work for this one and it hurt!!! (the reason I kept waking Mom and Dad up at night was because I wanted orajel and tylenol...they didn't pick up on the hint)

Also, I have another big, Big, BIG announcement.....I can walk now! Yup, I decided the past 2 weeks to take it up and athough I don't go super far or fast, I sure can move my little legs. I'll show you soon enough!

I have another trip coming up. I'm going back to the lake cabin in Minnesota to catch the big one. Mom calls the fish "Walter" like from the movie, The Great Outdoors. It should be a good trip.

That's about it for now. Have a fun-filled week and I hope you don't get the flu or cut any new teeth....neither is fun.

Love - Madeline
