2002 Journal
This
month I will be eight! Months, that is! Can you
believe it? I am really learning to move around!
Daddy said that I will be mobile in no time. We'll
see.
This month my Grandma Wiles, Aunt Atina and friend, Sam will
be celebrating their birthdays. We also have 2 holidays
this month. I am looking forward to this Easter thing
because my whole family will be here and I will get to meet
the "Easter Bunny". I wonder if he would like
to try some of my carrots?

From
Tummy to Tushy
March
2, 2002 |
|
I am sooo
glad that I can get off of my tummy if I want to now. As
you already know, I never did like that position very
well. Now that I can get out of it, I don't mind it so
much. It took me awhile to master this technique, but I
worked really hard on it for about 2 whole days. Daddy was
excited because he captured it on video tape. So, I'm sure
some of you will be forced to watch it. Sorry, about
that.

Happy 8
months to me!! Boy, oh boy, have I been a busy boy. I
have been rolling over now. Mommy and Daddy are quite happy
with that. I have learned how to move around. Just
backwards for now but it won't be long until I'm into
everything! I try to go forward. I rock and rock but
then WHAM-O, I land on my face! Ouch! However, while
going backwards, I've learned that if I get my feet under me just
right I can sit up!! I really don't enjoy laying down
anymore. I can't see or get into anything in that
position. Sometimes if I'm lucky and Mommy & Daddy haven't
noticed, I can get my hands on the remote control. The other
day I set the sleep timer and turned the TV up REALLY loud.
Grandpa Wiles would have appreciated that!

I
don't know what new and exciting things I'll get to do this month,
but I'll be sure to let you all know. I am looking forward to
Easter and seeing my family AND the Easter Bunny will be bringing me
a basket. I hope that there are bananas in there!! Boy,
do I LOVE bananas!!

Crawling
All Around
March
20, 2002 |

I am finally
figuring out this crawling business. It has taken me a few
weeks to master the going forward and I think I finally have
it!! I just have to hold myself up on my arms a little bit
longer and move my legs up instead of back. I still prefer
going backwards, because it's the fastest for now. But I
am getting better and better every day!

Trip
to Kentucky for Sam Lemmons First Birthday!
March
21-25, 2002 |
I got to go
see my friend Sam!! I was so excited when Mommy and Daddy
told me that we were going. We left around 10 in the
morning on Thursday and rode in the car for a REALLY long
time!! The weather was crazy too! It snowed, hailed,
rained and was sunny. Boy, was I happy when we pulled into
their driveway around 9 o'clock!! Jen was so happy to see
me! And Mommy and Daddy too. Sam was asleep when we
got there but then he woke up and we played for awhile.
Later, our other friends from Harrisburg, Jen and Darrin
arrived. They said that they had driven through the same
nasty weather as we did. I was soo sleepy, that I
slept all night long. Sam let us use his room.
The next day, Daddy, Darrin and Scott worked in the basement and
Mommy, Jen and Jen got Sam's cake ready. It was an Elmo
cake and it looked soo yummy. They worked really long and
hard on it. I was very proud of them! That night we
all went out to the Buckhead Grill Restaurant to eat. I
liked our table because there was a TV right above and I got to
sit beside my friend Sam. The Daddy's and Darrin got these
really big drinks called beer and they thought it would be funny
to take our picture so it looked like we were drinking
them. Well, it was funny until I grabbed Darrin's when he
wasn't paying attention and dumped it all over myself and Sam!!!
On Saturday, we had to get up and get ready for Sam's
party....he's one, ya know. I'll be one in a few
months! People just started coming and coming and
coming. I didn't know when it was going to stop! I
learned some new words too, like y'all and grits. Sam's
family was really nice to me. I was getting sooo much
attention that Mommy and Daddy didn't even have to worry about
me. After everyone ate , Sam opened all of his
presents. He got sooo much stuff. Mostly clothes and
toys. He was nice and shared them with me. My favorite
was the empty box from his John Deere wagon and Sam's was his
Mommy's wooden spoon. Oh, that thing hurts when it hits
you on the head!! After a long day of partying, Sam and I
took a little nap. Sam's cousin Bailey and her Mommy and
Daddy stayed for the night too. She was interesting...she
can walk around and say things like "Hi Ya!" She
also thought it was fun to poke me in the face. I didn't
mind so much, but I didn't really see all of the fun in it!
Anyway, Sunday, we went to the Louisville Zoo. It
was actually very nice and sunny outside. I got to see
some really neat animals. I saw lions, tigers, bears,
seals, monkeys, camels, elephants and giraffes. The
giraffe was really close! Daddy and Mommy took me in to
pet the goats, but I had just gotten up from my nap and they
were kind of smelly and very pushy. Don't know if I'll be
doing that again anytime soon.
After a relaxing evening and a good nights sleep, we packed up
and went home on Monday morning. The weather was rainy
almost for the whole trip. Mommy and Daddy kept telling me
what a good boy I was though. We had a GREAT time and
can't wait to go again. I miss my friend already.

First Easter
March
31, 2002 |
Today we
celebrated Easter. My whole family was here...Grandma's
and Grandpa's, Aunt's and Uncles! We had a nice
visit....even though I had caught a pretty bad flu bug. (I
really don't know how I "caught" anything...I can't
even roll a ball yet!). So, I wasn't feeling much like visiting
at all! I just wanted my Mommy to hold me all day
long. Anyway, about Easter. I got all kinds of
presents. I wasn't even expecting presents, so it was a
nice surprise! Grandma & Grandpa Proper got me
some really "cool" summer outfits and 3 (count
em...1..2..3!) construction vehicles: a dump truck, cement mixer
and a bull dozer! They are a lot of fun to play
with! Grandma & Grandpa Wiles brought me diapers, some
more "cool" summer clothes, PJ's, storybooks and
stuffed bunnies. Uncle Allen & Aunt Susan bought me an
Easter bucket and bunny outfit, that I'm not sure if Daddy will
ever let me put on! I don't know, looks kind of cute to
me! I'm sure Mommy will talk him into it! Uncle JG got me
a "Shamp-Pooh" Pooh Bear toy for the bath tub, he's
neat, you put soap on his head and squeeze his tummy and bubbles
come out! He also brought me a Mickey Dancing Radio.
It dances and plays music. I was scared of it at first,
but again, I wasn't feeling too good. But I like it
now. It's fun to watch....it makes Mommy, Daddy, Grammy and
Pap-Pap do funny things! I bet you think that I'm finished
with presents...nope. I still have to tell you about the
Easter Bunny stuff! I got a HUGE green ball, some bananas
(YEA!) and 2 summer outfits and some snack foods. All in
all , I guess you could say that I had a great Easter.
Next year, Grandma Proper said that we'll hide the eggs and
Uncle JG and I will hunt for them...I can't wait! Oh, a
BIG Thank you to all my family. I LOVE YOU!

I
know that I'm a little late with the wish for a Happy Easter but
better late that never! I wasn't feeling very good over the
holiday so we've been celebrating it well into the week. I had
a nice time with my family and want to take this time to thank
everyone for the great gifts. Since I was sick, I didn't get
to go visit the Easter bunny or color any eggs. Mommy said
that I can color some tonight or tomorrow. She says that you
can have colored eggs anytime!
Right now we are enjoying a visit from Grammy and Pap-pap
Wiles. They are staying for the week. So, I hope
everyone had a nice Easter and a Happy Spring! xoxo
