First off, I need to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Auntie Stacy!!!! I could try singing to you like Maddy did for daddy, but you would not be able to understand it!
Like mommy has said, where has the time gone! I blew by my eighth month birthday and will have my ninth birthday on June 2nd. Since the last blog, I have gotten my two bottom front teeth and my top two teeth are getting very close to pushing through. Of course, this has caused me to make several trips to the doctor's office for ear infections. Mommy and daddy never know what they are going to get from me, some days I am crabby and others, I am the best baby in the world.
On my eighth month birthday, I got to stay overnight with Grandpa and Grandma Danielson. Mommy took daddy with a couple of friends to the casino. I don't think they won big as I didn't get anything from the trip. I kept Grandma and Grandpa on their toes, but I think all three of us would do it again.
The other big deal in my life is that I started crawling on Thursday. I am not motoring around yet, but I am giving mom and dad a good idea of what needs to be baby proofed. Mom has a couple of decorative baskets with things in them that have been some of my first targets. I keep trying to bypass this crawling thing and get up on my own two feet.
Memorial Day weekend I got to travel with Grandpa and Grandma Danielson (and mom and dad) as we went to Humbolt, Iowa, for one of mom's cousin's highschool graduation party. I got to meet a lot of the Danielson family and Great Grandma Beulah. She was great! I got passed around a lot that evening, but I still kept my eye on mom and dad. In a few weeks, I will get to meet the Kertz side of the family and one of mommy's cousins on her mom's side of the family is getting married.
Dad started a major project this spring, which was putting a bigger landing on the front of the house. Well, this landing turned into a 9' by 10' deck. I don't think he and mom realized how big it was going to turn out when they spray painted the outline on the ground. But now, three weekends later, all he has left to do is put the railings on. We ran to Menards today to purchase them, but they were out and there was a 10-13 day wait for them. So, the new deck will be railing-less for a couple of weeks. If anyone falls off though, it is only a 2 foot drop to the ground. There are also plans to put up railings on the back deck this summer.
I have been in the tree swing a few times this spring and I just love it!! When mommy pushes me I hang on tight and cant stop giggling. Also, the feeling of the fresh air blowing through my red locks is AWESOME!
Until next time.....
