An unwelcome milestone...

Holy cow people...is it just me or is it HOT in here!?!?  All I know is that I want major snuggies and juice and mom and dad keep talking about something called a fever.   I mean here I was...days away from getting this walking thing down and BAM...sidelined.  This is not ok.
I spent the weekend with mom and dad at my big cousins college and I think all those boys have cooties!  It sure was fun though, it was my very first football game (on the outside anyway).  We didn't win..well, they didn't win, I kept getting passed from one pretty girl to another so I took home a big W!  But man am I paying for all that fun now, at least mommy got to stay home with me today...
So before the hots came on I was really having a lot of fun.  Im cruising along everything and standing up on my own and I've even tried taking a step once or twice.  Im feeling better about it everyday...soon I think I'll let go and see what happens!
I have had a few trips to the Dr. Man and as suspected, they think I'm awesome.  As of last nights impromptu visit I'm a whole 22 pounds!  I am also talking a lot.  Mom and Dad are still pretty slow to catch on but I don't know why they are having so much trouble, I mean I talk CONSTANTLY, so I'm giving them lots of chances to figure it out.  They have finally caught on that I can say "hi" so hopefully we are starting to have a break through.
I have a bunch of these things in my mouth now, I think they are called teeth, that make it really fun to bite stuff.  I tried them out on mom once but I don't think she was a fan, so now I stick to biting my "stuff" and not my people.  Apparently having all these teeth means that meal time gets a lot more interesting.  I pretty much eat anything mom makes (except green beans...blech).  Sometimes I make funny faces the first few times I try stuff (I really do it because it makes mom and dad laugh) but I usually warm up after a few bites.  Im a good eater.
Right now though I don't feel much like chewing I think I'm gonna go bang on momma until she makes me a bottle.  I'll write more when I'm feeling better.

Love,
Matthew
