Dancin’ Shoes

Here is a shot of a few of my first steps. Both mommy and daddy said that they can’t believe how much I have improved in just one week. I also give a few tips on how to dance so pay attention, and you may want to get a notebook and pencil to take notes.

My First X-Ray

Mary asleep in her car seat. You can see a nice purple bruise over her right eye. Mary sitting up in the doctor's office. You can see the eye has swollen up.So tonight I got my first X-Ray (now I know what the letter X is for). I was at daycare and I was learning to walk but I tripped and fell banging my right eye on the bookshelf. I cried. My mommy came and got me and by the time I got home I was happy again and trying to walk. But mommy and daddy were a little concerned and so they took me to the emergency room… again.

This hospital visit was at a different hospital and we were in and out much faster but they were concerned too so they took an x-ray of my face because they were worried that my orbital bone might have been fractured.

I practiced walking more while we waited to get x-rayed. I’m getting pretty good and I can take like 8 – 10 steps without falling.

We wore lead aprons and daddy had to hold my chin up so they could get a good picture. I cried. But now I have my first X-ray and even my daddy is in it You can see his hand under my chin. It looks like he is choking me. He-he.

Mary's x-ray. It looks normal and you can see daddy's hand under her chin.

Sharing

I took some first steps this past Sunday so I am really busy refining my technique. Look for a video to come out soon highlighting my fancy footwork. Until then, share something you like with someone you love.

When Aunt Corinne and Grandma were visiting Aunt Corinne helped teach me how to drink from a big girl’s glass. I like water but I like juice better. Later I learned a little self defense and how to use pressure points to keep daddy in line.

More Fun With Aunt Corinne and Grandma

Aunt Corinne on her knees bowing her head to Mary. Corinne has a ribbon crown on and Mary is reaching up for it.These are more pictures from my fun time with Grandma Marasco and Aunt Corinne. Here you can see that Aunt Corinne and I had fun playing princesses. In this picture she is wearing the crown. I didn’t like wearing it as much as grabbing it from her head and giving it back to her. I think that a Queen shouldn’t have to wear a crown if she doesn’t want to.

Mary behind the hippo with her head back, laughing, and enjoying herself as she pushes the hippo forward. Grandma is in the background. Mary in the foreground of the picture but just as a blur because she is moving so fast. You can see mommy and Aunt Corinne laughing to each other in the background. Here Grandma and I are having a whole lot of fun with the hippo. This is currently my favorite toy and I love to chase every one to catch them and then bang into them with the hippo. They try to get away but I am really fast. Sometimes you can’t even see me on camera because I move so fast that I am just a blur.
