Playing Around

My First Words -

Baba... mama. Those are my first words. Nothing special like "Blue"; that was Picasso's first word. But I can finally talk. I've been trying for a while, making scream sounds, and trying to move my mouth different ways to make sounds. But here it is... Proof Positive!!! I can talk.

Rash Alert!!!!

So, everyone tells me how beautiful I am and now I have this awful rash. Ugh!!! How embarassing. First the doctor thought it was bug bites, then he thought it was chicken pox. My mom did internet research and confirmed it with the doc that it's Target rash (Erythema multiforme). Whatever it is - it most likely began because Dad gave me formula that we all think I'm allergic too. I've got swollen feet, spots all over me, and I'm just darn cranky. I spent the day at the hospital getting strep throat tests, urine test, and blood tests. Ugh!!! I hope this goes away in a week. Mom gave me a baking soda bath tonight.

Newest and Cutest Picture

So my mom took a bunch of pics of me in this onesie that doesn't even fit anymore. Anyhow, here I am at almost 5 months.

The Little Bear

We all went for a hike in Evergreen. It was a pretty harmless hike. Whenever dad goes into evergreen he thinks about this old bar called The Little Bear He's wanted to go there for the longest time. Never could get any of the SNAGS (SensitiveNewAgeGuys) from Boulder to go there with him. He knew mom would love the bar so he took her there. It was a hit. She walked into this old style western saloon with bras hanging from the rafters and smiled at dad. Everyone there thought I was the cutest baby they'd ever seen. Dad and I danced a few times.

The Rosenblum's Visit

Grandpa Ken and Granny Val came to visit and we had a really good time. Dad took us all out for Indian food to this great restaurant. Grandpa Ken wasn't too excited about it. Mom said it looks like dog food; but after trying it she enjoyed it. The next day we went to the Cherry Creek State park and I went in the water for the first time. Later we went out for hot dogs and my grandparents got to see pictures of all of the hot dog joints in Chicago they grew up with. Later on mom and dad cooked the fluke that Chuck caught in Alaska. I showed them how I turn over and how I try to move my mouth to make sounds. I have a lot to say. So look out Mom and Dad; it's going to happen soon.

Cherry Creek Art Fest

July 3rd Mom, Dad, and i went to the Cherry Creek Art Fair here in Denver. This is one of the biggest in the country. Mom was amazed at all of the art and got really jazzed about it all. She whipped out a new little painitng in 2 days; then began a new one. I hope I learn to paint like her. Dad liked this landscape stuff; so he's going to be doing some of that soon. For me, recently I began to suck on my toes and started to a little screaming just for fun.
