Time Flies When You're Having Fun!
Hello Friends,
Sorry for the long delay since my last blog entry, but things have been hectic to say the least. I must say, those silly overachievers in the E*Trade commercials make it look so simple for us babies to up and work on computers. Day trading is one thing, but writing eloquent prose is entirely another monster, especially considering I am just now figuring out how to use my opposable thumbs.
My last entry was in February, a time filled with Valentines, my wonderful Baptism with my cousin Matthew, and Mom and Dad waiting optimistically for crocus to emerge. I saw some snow, had some laughs, and spent a whole lotta time with my new friends Oliver and Marilynn, who hang out with me at my daysitter Judy’s house. The cool thing is that my dad went to high school with Oliver’s parents, Mimi Cooper and David Gerwin, as well as Mimi’s sister Sarah. Chilling at daycare has been a treat to say the least.
In March, I went on a roadtrip to see my Uncle Eric and Aunt Diana, and cousins Connor and Matthew. And we celebrated GiGi’s 90th Birthday!
Before I say more, I would be remised if I didn’t mention a January visit from my Dad’s life homie Matt Rose and his family. They drove down to see us for an evening and I had a tremendous time. I will post some pictures from their visit in this entry, noting however, that photos just didn’t quite capture the awesomeness of meeting Matt, Liz, Owen and Riley for the first time. We all went out to dinner, joined by the Metcalf-VanOudenallens, and had a riot. Apparently, the Rose boys love to eat hot dogs.
Over the past few months I have had a series of milestones. I had my first serious belly laugh, made efforts to sit up on my own, started holding a rattle and much, much more. Just yesterday, I sat in my high chair for the first time and am excited to start eating some rice cereal in the coming weeks. Dad is convinced that rice cereal is ghetto Cream of Wheat, but what does he know.
Easter was this past weekend and I got dressed up like a rock star, or rather, a Christian rock star. I went to church with my parents and Grandma and Grandpa Burckle and got to sit next to my Aunt Andrea and good buddy Chase Glassmeyer. Chase and I held hands during the sermon which made some hearts well up for sure. As usual I bring the cuteness. In speaking of cuteness, I had my first professional pictures taken and to be quite frank, I looked pretty darn cute. Add my Cincinnati Reds onesie to the mix and my adorability has been on overload.
I am really enjoying this lovely spring weather and can’t wait to visit the Zoo in the coming months. See you later Alligators!
