Momma got the camera working!

Here I am meeting my very own Nana. She cried a bit...
It seems Pops was camera shy. My mommy is looking on the other memory card for a photo of us together. We were all sad that my cousins couldn't come with Uncle Sam and Auntie Janice because the babies would have ruled the whole TOWN then.I got this great shirt from my mommy's friend and her 3 lovely daughters. It is size 18 months! Wow, I bet they thought I would wait a bit before wearing it. Boomer loves it too!Last weekend I spent Family Day, an Ontario Holiday, with my mommy. We had a great time at the park (but a very short time cause I'm not in Vietnam anymore...brrrrr). This is me enjoying my very first ride in a swing. Boomer and I are learning to share. I thought he should share his collar. Look how cute I am...you would share with me, wouldn't you? He disagreed. I ended up letting him win, but only until I can get around...then I'm going to chase him down!I went to the lab for blood work this week...and last week. I'm sure mommy has let you in on all the dirty details. Some of you misunderstood though...the nice lady, Edna, trussed me up over and over again and made me really mad but she only tried for one vein...once. There was no other veins to try for and besides, mommy wouldn't have let her anyway. I did get two pricks in my thumb though. (And yes, the socks are size 12 months...but apparently I have size 18 month ankles...mommy is busy looking for socks that stay on but don't leave permanant scars) Mommy is tired of trying to shove me into that tiny little blue snowsuit (size 12 months...but whatever) so she bought me this fashionable ensemble. Fleecy and warm and just right for layering up in the car seat (she is catching on...it is size 18 months as well).
And boy am I cute...the ladies were commenting all over town today.Here is my less fashionable (and still plenty roomy) sledding attire. Think Michelin man not yet walking. So embarrassing. It was a bit blustery for outdoor photos though and my new friend Boomer tripped over the sled rope yesterday so he thinnks I'm going to run him down the whole time we are walking. Mommy says sledding photos will have to come AFTER Boomer is done threatening my life with his crazy fearful stupidity...in about 10 years.42 days ago...incredible really.

Great pictures! And your mom looks awfully happy to have her grandson in her arms. Nice new snowsuit too!
