Life On The Farris Wheel: 5 month bday blog

Can you believe that its already been another month? Time sure flies when you’re as busy as me!! In fact, this has been my busiest month! I learned how to sit up, sleep through the night (almost- some nights I still like to mess with mom), visited Knoxville to see Grandma and Papa, and got tubes put in my ears!

We both love hang in out with Papoose in his big chair!

So far, being able to sit up has been my most signification victory. Now, I get a glimpse of the TV when Luke is watching, I can chew my feet easier, and most importantly, I can reach for toys! I broke my first glass the other day while reaching to play with it. Not sure if Mom understands how long my arms are- basically I’m a mini Shaq.

See look- I'm sitting up. Can't believe Luke let me drive his 1st car.
I wish this car would go faster.

We (minus Luke) took my first road trip to Knoxville to play with Grandma and Papa. I had a blast!! Got to play all day with Grandma, roam around a new house and play with toys I’ve never seen before. However, I’m not sure how much fun Mom and Dad had- they had to clean out the house to get it ready to sell. Glad Luke didn’t come- he only knows how to make messes (that’s what Mom says).

Found this picture while in Knoxville.
Can you believe Mom use to be a kid?!?!? How is that even possible?

Luke loves taking pictures with me.

In other news, I had my first surgery! Well, I’m not really sure if you can call it a surgery, since it only took 5 minutes- but my friend Dr. Scott Hill put these tube things in both my ears- now I can actually hear what people are saying. I pretty much like what people are saying to me- unless its Luke saying “no babe, no babe” to me when I take his Legos. I can also now hear myself talk!! Let me tell you- I have a voice of an angel. Especially when I wake up in the middle of the night to jabber!

This was right after my 5 minute surgery.
Mom gave me the day off and let me nap on her.

This is my visor that keeps water off my face and ears.
I make even the silliest things look cute.
BTW- check out my arm rolls.

Next month is also a big month! I’ll be ½ a year old and Luke will stop full time school and only go to MDO on Mon/Wed/Fri…. which means we will have more time to play together and mess up the house! This is going to be great! Luke already told me he’s going to teach me how to throw toys! Boooooommmmm my life is awesome!
