Our trip to Reno

Out trip started off well, but it quickly started to get cloudy about an hour outside of Vegas. The closer we got to Reno, the cloudier it got. It wasn't until we were about two hours away from Reno and Mommy realized they weren't clouds, it was smoke.









Due to the fires in Northern California, all the smoke was blowing to the east. Crazy!!





Mommy took this picture of her eyes...they were soo red and puffy and she had Wal-Mart size shopping bags under her eyes!! Beautiful!!

After 12 long hours on the road we made it. Mommy said I was a dream...literally...I made things kinda easy on her.

I DID IT!!!

I have learned how to roll from my back to my tummy...finally!!! I worked so hard in physical therapy today and blew everyone away by rolling over about 4 times. Mommy captured this video later in the day...I wasn't too happy at this point...although I started to roll over, I was pretty tired after doing it so many times today. As you will be able to see, it is very difficult for me to bring my legs over...they are heavy.

Mommy and I are going to Reno on Wednesday to see Oma, Papa and Uncle Jeremy. We are going to be gone for a week. I've never been there so this ought to be interesting. Mommy promises it will be cooler than the 118 degrees that it was here in Bullhead City today. I sure am going to miss Daddy though, I haven't been away from him for this long of a period. Who's going to pull his hair or poke his eyes out??? I'll have to ask London, my nephew, to take care of these important tasks for me. See you all around the 4th of July.

Dancing

This is a cute little video of London and I dancing...dancing...we're dancing machines!!!

More swimming!!

Mommy, Daddy and I went swimming on Saturday at Jeff & Sharice's house. They have a really cool indoor pool that overlooks the river. It doesn't get any better than that!! I swam on my back for the first time and I loved it. Mommy and I are going to take swimming lessons in July...I can't wait!!

Major bumps!!

Okay...there is one little story Mommy has not been telling you all about. I have been breaking out in these bumps every so often. They first appeared last year on my arms. Then in April, my face broke out in the horrible rash above. Ewww!! Then my back, then my feet. They are so ugly and everyone thinks I have the chickenpox...but I don't. When we first went to the doctor, he thought maybe they were part of the Herpes family, not a cold sore...not a chickenpox...somewhere in between. So we were treating it as such.

Mommy couldn't stand it anymore and demanded to find out more about this horrid rash. My pediatrician then thought maybe it was a bacterial infection or a reaction to latex. I have to take extreme cautions with latex because spina bifida kids tend to be allergic to it. They drew three huge vials of blood from me a few weeks ago and discovered it was not part of the herpes family nor was it an infection. Yea!! They said I tested positive for a food allergy.

What?!?!?!?! I only eat 7 things and now I'm allergic to one of them. GREAT..... So they had to take more blood to do a more extensive allergy test and guess what I am allergic to????? Anybody?????

EGGS!! This stinks because two of my favorite foods to eat are egg noodles and pancakes. MMM-Yummy...

So that's the scoop, eggs (mainly the whites) are causing me to look like I have the cooties.

Sharing a snack

I thought Elmo needed a bite...tee-hee

Pooped!!

I was so tired after swimming that I fell asleep in my crib sitting up.
