WOW! Where has the time gone?? Time sure flies on the outside, and life has been anything but boring since my last post. Here is a quick update...

After I was done with my Billi Blanket, mom and dad had a few days to catch their breath and we really started to get into a good routine. Then, mom noticed that right after my belly button cord fell off, my belly button was kinda red. Mom and dad took me to the doctor, and sure enough, it was infected. I had gotten oomphalitis. It's a pretty serious thing, and since I was such a little kid, the doctor decided that I should spend some time in the hospital getting well. Mom and dad took me right away and I spent 5 days at Mt. Nittany Medical Center (the same place where I was born), getting some pretty strong antibiotics. Before I left the hospital my belly button was almost all healed, which was really great, but mom and dad still had to give me antibiotics here at home. I'm all done with them now, and the infection is all gone! On a great up note, the entire time I was in the hospital and since mom and dad brought me back home, I have continued to gain weight and get big and strong. In fact, I am almost 2 pounds bigger now than I was when I was born!! I just want to say thank you to everyone who called, sent cards, and stopped by the hospital to visit while I was there. Momma, daddy and I really appreciate it. 

A big highlight of the last two weeks are all of the visits that I have had. After Gramps Rudy left, we had a short break and then Grandma Sheron and Great Granny P came to visit. That was exciting and I got pretty spoiled while they were here! Aunt Mya and Uncle Geoff came over to visit right before baby Eli was born and brough momma and daddy yummy pizza. Aunt Tiff brought over her momma, sister-in-law, our friend Deb and my buddy Miss Nora for a visit and mom learned some baby massage to help me with the hiccups. Last weekend, momma's sorority sisters Aunt Julie and Aunt Wendi, Uncle Chad and my buddy Sydney came to visit and we had a hoot of a time. I especially enjoyed watching all the big people play with mom and dad's video game-- who knew people could get so silly over a game??

In the coming weeks I am really looking forward to being at home with momma and daddy! I'm growing like a weed and already momma is putting away my premie clothes because they don't fit anymore. I have found out the joys of rice cereal, and intend to make sure mom and dad keep lots of that coming in my bottles. I also am looking forward to more visits from family and friends and of course, my baptism which is coming at the end of August!!

It's time for some juice and some tummy time on my super awesome rainforest gym so until next time, PEACE!
