February 8, 1999

Hello to all my family and friends!

Happy almost valentines day! Mommy wants you to know that at my day care they are having the families make valentines to celebrate their new baby. (Thats me!) Mom and Dad will be putting together a heart to take into my school on Thursday to be displayed with all the other kids. If you want to email me a hello, Mom will print it out, put it on the heart and save it in my baby book.

This week is rainbow week at school. All the kids wear certian colors on certian days to celebrate diversity. Today is black and white day and of course Friday, valentines day is a red day. Daddy found a black and white JPL sweatshirt that says I am a rocket scientist in training.

I am feeling a lot better and so are mom and dad. My god family came over and babysat me on Saturday and I really had fun. I went right to sleep afterward though, I get tired out fast.

Last night, Mom showed me how to roll over on my tummy and slide off the chairs and sofa onto my feet. I started practicing right away and clapping when I did it, even when I plumped onto my bottom hard. Now I can really go where Iwant to. Last nigth I explored the nursery and made mom and dad put everything away.

Dad was playing that game where he crawls across the floor and roars at me. I usually laugh, and last night I roared right back at him. I had everybody in stiches.

Grandma mary quilt is beautiful. I sit on it a lot. And we play peekaboo.

Getting ready to walk in pasadena! watch out cats. I already tell them I am coming .

Greatgrandfather, what is you email? Mom keeps getting an error message at ?????@??????.???.

Love and hugs, if you were here I would smile at you and then crawl off to investigate something else.
