i've been getting a lot of comments on how out of date this is. truth is i need a parent's lap to sit on to reach the computer, so don't blame me. mom and dad are busy (i make sure of it) so you can't really blame them either.
let me try to remember everything from the last couple of weeks.
after mastering the rolling over from my back to my tummy (going left only) i became a rolling fool. mommy and daddy just couldn't put me down without me rolling over. lately i have managed to roll over going right a couple times, but i don't have that mastered like the left roll. i have also been on my tummy and lifted my head really high, then next thing i know i'm on my back. i guess i rolled over from my tummy to my back, but it is quite by accident, i don't really know how to do it on purpose . . . yet.
i have been trying to be more mobile. when i'm on my tummy i get my knees underneath me with my butt up in the air. sometimes i'll push my legs back and move forward a little bit, but i haven't figured out how to get the arms to work with the legs . . . yet. i am getting better though cause now i lift my chest up off the ground, so that helps . . . less drag.
back on may 20th i had another vomiting episode in the middle of the night. this time i only vomited once, so mommy and daddy didn't bother to take me to the doctor. i was fine after that one time. the funny thing is that daddy had an interview at cal poly that day. he also had an interview at cal poly the last night i vomited when i go the tummy flu. i'm not sure what that is all about.
over memorial day weekend we went down to campland to see gran (daddy calls her granny) and papa. it was a lot of fun. i was in a good mood and papa had a really cool bright orange jacket that i liked to look at and touch. while we were there i saw some ducks. they made me laugh when mommy fed them.

after campland we went to uncle bobby's house for a bbq. his mom and dad came over to see me, but by then i had had a long day so i was a little fussy with them.
i had my four month check-up last thursday (05/29/03). everything checked out. i weighed 16lbs. 4oz., and am 26 1/2 inches tall. that puts me in the 75 percentile for height and weight.
they gave me more shots, and although i cried for a minute when they gave them to me, once mommy picked me up that made it all better. i didn't cry after that. the nurse was impressed. since i was her last of the day she said it ended her day on a good note.
mommy asked the doctor lots of questions. ever since i had the tummy flu i have been having gas and poop problems. i am a lot more gassy and my poop sometimes skips a day. when that happens it is really smelly by the time i go, and it usually overflows my diaper because it is so much. i also writhe around and grunt in my sleep sometimes. the doctor said all of this is normal. the tummy flu messed up my intestinal lining and these are side effects. he said it will take a couple months for the lining and me to get completely back to normal.
some current interests of mine include grabbing/touching things. this includes kitties, doggies, and faces. faces are especially fun to grab, and i really like grabbing noses. as far as the doggies and kitties go, the doggies stay away from me, and so do most of the kitties. there is one kitty though that has claimed me as his own. he lets me pet him, and when he rubs on my feet it makes me laugh. he is really annoying mommy though because he is always where i am and he thinks my room is his room.
a couple weeks ago i started doing this really funny face where i would squint my eyes, wrinkle my nose and sniff in and out really fast, like a dog sniffing something. sometimes i would even snort. mommy and daddy really thought that was funny. now i like to stick my tongue out and make funny noises and faces. they say i look like a monkey.
i really need to update this more often so that i don't end up with these really long entries.
