Well, my parents have taken a long time to update my blog! Below are pictures from August, 2008 - February 2009. During that time I grew a couple inches and gained several pounds. I run and jump, skip, climb and do all sorts of cool stuff now. I still don't like to sleep all night in my crib by myself, but I'm getting pretty good at it. My mom's cousin Priscila visited us for several months to improve her English, and I really liked having her here. My sisters both started new schools and are really enjoying them, and a few weeks ago I started going to a day care where I have a friend named Craig - I really like playing there with him!! My sisters are swimming and playing soccer and basketball -- I really like those things too but no one will let me join in! I'm saying lots of words but mostly people don't seem to know what they are ?? I hope this gets better soon; it's frustrating! By and large I have had a great few months and am really excited about growing up some more.
