Rudabegga a la mode: March 2010

Now, I should take some time away from me to discuss what is growing in Mom's Belly. I love to lift up her shirt and point to her belly button, but she tells me there is a Baby in there.

Mom and Dad took me along to the ultrasound on Friday. I was good, but when there are computers, T.V. screens, and lots of items to touch, of course I wanted to get down and explore this new environment. I did let Dad have a few good looks at this little one, but then he and I went to the hall so I could walk and explore there. We lasted in the Ultrasound about 10 minutes. So Mom got to finish and show us the cool pictures of my new little brother or sister. Yes, you will have to wait to find out. Mom needs to scan the pictures, but she took a picture of one of them. It is hard to see so we will get better ones up soon. But here is the little one...

It was a busy one. The baby flipped and turned the whole time. Mom's belling was rolling:) We got some 3D pictures as well which are kind of neat to see!

That is right, I am officially 1 and loving every minute of it. I am a walking and climbing machine. I can now climb on the couch and into the bathtub by myself. Luckily Mom and Dad have taught me how to get down from the couch correctly so I don't face dive onto the floor. I learned last week how to stand up without any assistance also. My new big thing to also add is I have learned some sign language. I can say all done, please, and thank you. I am also very good at folding my hands to say my prayers. I love to tell Mom and Dad all done when they are changing my diaper, however, they do not stop that one. A kids gotta try right?

For my birthday, I had a party in Minnesota with the Ward and Fossen families. It was so much fun to see everyone. I love my new toys! Mom made me a puppy cake also! It looked really cool, but I have decided I am not yet a fan of cake. Then, I went to the farm to celebrate with Grandpa Fred. His birthday is the day before mine! We got an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen. Now that was delicious! My cousins Peter and Henry came to play and got to see lots of baby animals! Very exciting for a little guy!

Mom took me to my appointment and I officially weigh 26 lbs 1 ounce and am 30 1/2 inches long. Yes, a big boy I know, I get told that all the time.

Here are a few pictures from my Birthday week!
