March 2009

Mom and Dad are busy, so they let me write this month's report. March was exciting. Pawpaw came in from Pennsylvania and we had a great time playing. He's a good cook, too. Thanks, Pawpaw. While he was here the water utility sent a backhoe to dig up our front yard. Wow, a real live backhoe! Then, the weather turned warm and Mom and Dad let me pick up sticks while we went for a hike at the Overland Park Arboretum. Last weekend, we got hit with 6 inches of heavy, wet snow, so I helped shovel the driveway. Dad is worried that the snow will ruin the many blooming plants we usually see in our yard, but I don't think so.

I just turned 15 months old and am already starting to look just like my daddy--short. I'm glad Mom and Dad are finally starting to understand some of the things I say. I've been talking to them for months, but sometimes they just don't listen. I love to say hi to all of the customers when Momma takes me to the bagel shop. And now that I've learned how to say Dad's name, sometimes I wander around the house calling him. I love to give hugs--even to Virginia, but sometimes she runs away before I can catch her.
