New School, New Year

We've had such a busy summer and fall! First, we went to Uncle Joe and Aunt Julie's wedding in Atlanta. It was so much fun - I got to see so many aunts, uncles, gr'aunts, gr'uncles and cousins! And, of course, lots of time with Granny Kate and Pop-pop. I also was a featured performer at the wedding, lending my finely practiced burping skills to the ceremony!

Then in August, Mommy traveled a lot, so it was Bachelor's Month with Daddy, Drew and me!

In September, I went back to school. I have a new school this year, which means a new teacher and new therapists, too. It's been so busy! I'm doing pretty well at school, too. In a few weeks, I have a very important Doctor's appointment - I have to go see Dr. McClintock. I've been almost a whole YEAR without any seizure behavior - YAY!!!! He'll give me a test (an EEG) and if it's clear, then I'm halfway to stopping taking medicine. The doctor said that if I go 24 months without seizure behavior and had clear EEGs, we can start taking me off my medicines. We're all very excited.

Anyway, I know Drew gave Mommy a hard time about how long it's been, so I'll give her a break. Here's some pictures from the end of the summer and the start of school...

Brothers...

Here are some pictures of Drew and me yesterday!

Daddy graduated, and I left school!

Believe it or not, my Daddy graduated and now he's an MBA!! It was really fun to go to Chapel Hill for graduation. Almost everyone I'm related to was there - Nana and Poppy, Aunt Kim, Uncle Brian, my cousins, and that's just Daddy's side! Then there were Granny & Pop-pop, Aunt Erin, Aunt Shannon & Uncle Todd, and of course Mommy and Drew, too. We went to a Japanese Steakhouse for dinner one night - that was FUN!!

That'e Mommy, me and Aunt Shannon at graduation. I did really well during the ceremony, and Daddy went right past us as they processed in. It was pretty cool!

Then school ended a little over a week ago. Mommy took some pictures of me with my classmates, but they are still on the camera. She'll send them out later.

Here's me with my Aunt Kim (and some cousins - Jack & Mac!)

We just had Daddy's graduation party, too. I'll post on that soon!

long time...bad Mommy!

Sorry - it's been a terrible time for Mommy! She had to work all by herself for almost 6 weeks at work, and it was really hard on her. She was cranky at home a LOT. Now she has a new friend, Ms. Stephanie, who is there to help, so she's in a better mood. Just in time - Daddy is on a trip for a l-o-n-g time and it's just us for the next few days.

I've still been doing lots of good stuff at school, and I am going to keep getting my school services over the summer so I can keep going. I also saw my eye doctor and my brain doctor recently, and they were both very pleased with how I was looking (and also, how I was looking! Bah-dump-dum!)




Here's a recent photo of me working on my sitting. I'm still working hard at sitting by myself! Check out my awesome shoes, courtesy of Aunt Shannon & Uncle Todd!
Mommy had a dream this weekend where I was standing all by myself. I can't wait until we can post that photo when it's not a dream anymore. I am tired of sitting all the time...

Get me a throne!

Well, Aunt Megan got this out first, but I can forgive Mommy for being slow to post this. She's sad because her friend Miss Megan doesn't work with her anymore and she (Mommy) is working really hard now! Anyway, last weekend, I hit another big milestone. Mommy helped me get situated in a sitting position, and I leaned forward and propped myself up and sat on the floor, all by myself. For more than a minute! Everyone was very excited, and it was a good thing the camera was there. Notice how there are no people anywhere near me at all? That's because I can do it all by myself now. YAY ME!!

Home Birthday

I'm feeling better today, and we got our new photos finally (we got Vista and Daddy had to wrestle the computer into working with all our existing stuff). Here I am on my birthday!

As you can see, I'm still a big fan of the icing :)

February

So I finally gave up and caught the cold that has gone around the family. It's a bummer. I've been cranky, but who isn't when they are sick. I've had good days at school, regardless, up until today.

So I'm home resting, and hopefully I'll feel better soon! I have gone to see the doctor for my three year check up after my birthday and Dr. Fox says that I am looking fantastic! I would cheer but that takes too much energy, so I'll just say "cool".

Here's a picture of me at school last week reading one of the Valentines I got from my classmates...
