David: Sep 28, 2010 Healthy as a Horse

Daddy took me to the doctor today for my one year checkup. I am 28 lbs 6 oz. Still off the charts, but my parents thought I'd be 30 lbs, so I surprised them. I had to get some shots this time but Daddy was quite impressed. I barely even acknowledged the shot. What I didn't like was being forced to be on my back. I'm a free spirit and I need to have my freedom. Mommy was surprised because I was in the best mood ever today. I guess I react opposite of my brother after shots. Mommy and I played cars today. She would roll a car to me and I'd pick it up and say "Yay!" and then throw it back to her. Then she would say, "Ready..." and I would lift my hands to the sky and then she'd roll the car to me, which I would in turn throw back at..I mean...to her. I enjoyed this game a lot. Then we got to go on a nice long walk to Chili's where daddy showed up.

Mommy was gone over the weekend in California so I got to play a lot with Daddy and the grandparents. Daddy even got to see me walk my first steps!! It wasn't much but it was a start. Mommy has noticed that I've been trying hard lately to stand up without holding on to anything, so I'll get it eventually. Other than that things are same old same old around here. I'll try to keep up my good boy behavior, but no promises.

Love,

David
