Tales from the Crib (Week 48)

They say that it is good for babies to get exposed to germs so that they can build up their immune systems. I guess that I am doing a good job building up my immune system because I have been sick for the past three weeks with three different germs. It hasn't been easy (waking up a lot and waking up my parents every 30 minutes), but I am definitely checking the possible ailments off the list. Scratch-off the baby hand/foot/mouth, the 104.7 degree fevers, and the pneumonia...and I am getting closer to becoming a super-baby, resistant to all the possibilities.

In addition to my first Super Bowl, I also got my first X-Ray and my first dose of steroids. Actually the steroids were for my bronchial tubes and I inhaled them through a steam-machine, but they opened up the pipes and helped me to sleep easier. I don't know if they will enhance my performance in any way, but I want to be sure that they don't get me into any trouble. To play it safe, I am not going to enter any jumping contests for the next few months.

During the Super Bowl, I ate my first submarine sandwich. My parents tried to get me to eat my baby food but stepped-up and ate the big sandwich...at least a corner of it. I also started eating waffles this week for breakfast and refusing to eat many of the things that I have always eaten for lunch and dinner. Instead of eating, I now stick out my tongue and spit to express my disapproval. Some say that I have lost some weight and am even more of a skinny-mini.

The other neat thing that I learned to do this week is to play music on my piano. There is a little yellow button on the keyboard that you can push to play popular songs. I figured out that you can push it over and over again and it will play the songs (over and over again). I am definitely getting better at remembering how to do things and practicing them over and over. This includes my favorite word, which is still "hi"...
