Hello...mommy and daddy have had their hands full with me...ok I guess I can throw grandma in there too. :-) I had an ear infection a few weeks back which was not fun so I had to be put on an antibiotic for that and it seems to have cleared up now. I hope it stays away. On top of the ear infection and getting over that...I am now starting the joys of teething. Yes...teething...and it can take longer for mine to come in especially since I really don't get anything by mouth but I do chew on my pacifier which helps some. I have been fussy fussy fussy though 'cause my toofies hurt coming in. I feel sorry for mommy and daddy and grandma. :-) I didn't do well with sleeeping either because of my ear infection and teething. Although...one of mommies friends suggested some homeopathic Hylands teething tablets and they have been a life saver. They work really well and help me out a lot. Mommy had to try something. :-) So who knows how long the teething journey will last but eventually...this too shall pass as mommy says. There has been so much going on. This easter weekend I will be visited by some people from Indianapolis IN. Yeah...they are coming all that way to see me. See...there was another little boy like me in IN and mommy became friends with his parents before I was even born by emailing and talking on the internet. Well, this little boy Sammy died just short of his 5th birthday! To make a long story short they are graciously passing along his wheelchair to us. We are totally humbled at this big kind gesture. They have always wanted to meet me so they are coming this weekend. April 10 was also Sammy's birthday so they wanted to celebrate it this year by bringing me his wheelchair...what a noble thing to do. How can you ever repay someone for something like that? I am excited to meet them and I'm sure it will be a great weekend. God truly puts people in your life for different reasons and I'm glad mommy met them and that we will get to meet them in person. God is awesome! I also have the appointment at Johns Hopkins with the reconstructionist on April 14th which will be a lot to pray about. Well, I better let mommy go so she can upload some pictures and videos of me so enjoy and Happy Easter to everyone!

Getting hard to contain me, the little monkey now. I will be laying longways on the couch and then all of a sudden you'll turn around and I'm in the crack laying the other way!

so cute in my sailboat outfit.

This is a little video of me learning to use my switch toys.

This video shows you how I like to "move"




This video almost made mommy cry. For someone who was not supposed to do much of anything...I"m proving them wrong. :-) This is the best and most I've held my head up. Mommy was so blessed when she saw me doing it. Thank you God for how far you have allowed me to come and all the things I can do.
