Sitting tall...kinda

A few nights ago at bathtime, I decided to sit up on my own. I figured it was about time...I need to sit in order to make my way crawling.


Hmmm...looks like I am still learning. (Don't worry, dad caught me before I planted my cranium on the floor!)

Sunday, February 4, 2007: Part Two

After part 1, see the previous post, my dad and I hurried back to the house and changed to get ready for the big game. By big game, I mean of course the Super Bowl featuring the Chicago Bears. Having been told since birth that they are my favorite team, I consider it more than just a coincidence that they made the big game in my first chance to see it.

So here we are just before everything starts. My dad was pretty excited to watch and I was ready to stay up later.



So, now here we are about 14 seconds into the game. I don't know exactly what happened. We head downstairs to the TV room, my dad gets a call from my dziadek (Polish for Grandfather), the pretty pictures on the TV start, and my dad is celebrating. Suddenly my arms are flying up and someone is trying to get me to say 'Touchdown'. Everyone else was happy, so I was laughing too.

I was able to stay up until something called 'halftime'. Nobody was as excited anymore because I guess my team was down by 2 points.

As the game was on hold, I got a bath. Then I got a new outfit that for some reason caused my dad to become upset. My mom had dressed me in my nice little horsey jammies. Apparently my team was playing the ponies. After that, I'm told the ponies went on to a convincing win.

Lessons learned -

My birth has started a great time for the Chicago football team and my dad expects them to be in the big game every year now.

I get to stay up later during these big games. I hope they happen every month.

I apparently can control the winning team with my outfits. I will have to use this power wisely.

Sunday, February 4, 2007: Part One

Hi everyone, I am back after a short hiatus. I have been busy growing and kicking and have not had time to post lately. We had an exciting weekend a couple of weeks ago. First of all, my newest cousin, Lilija, was baptized. I warned her ahead of time about the cold water to be splashed on her head so she wouldn't cry.

Mommy and daddy are Lily's Godparents--sounds like a Divine job! (a little baby humor here)
Here's Lily, all baptized and happy.

Later we went to Maggiano's for a celebration. Mommy's family was there and they enjoyed a delicious dinner (I had milk, my favorite!). Auntie Rasa's friends from Chicago were also there and they loved to hold me--I didn't protest--I love being held and carried around. From left to right: Colleen holding Lily and Jessica holding me. Not pictured is Mark, he was camera shy that day. It sure was nice to see them, I hope they come back soon!

One for the Lurkers...


I am feeling a bit 'Puggy' today...


I am so funny, I even make myself laugh!
