Red Letter Day

First time in a high chair, Big Boy!!

Hey, Dougie. It's been a great week. We had so much fun.

Yesterday, your daddy and DeeDee took you out to lunch with us and you sat in a high chair like a big boy for the very first time!! You used the high chair cover that DeeDee made you for Easter. You loved chewing on the cover strap and being able to look all around the restaurant. You were especially interested in the bar...but your daddy told you that you would have to wait another 20 and a half years before you could get anything from the bar. That didn't phase you, you just kept looking at all of the people and all of the pretty bottles up there.

When DeeDee took you to your mommy at her school, you got to visit with Ms. JoAnn. She really misses you this summer and can't wait for the ELC to open again on August 17. Ms. JoAnn could not believe how big you have gotten in just a little over a month. You gave her hugs and lots of pinches, which you distribute liberally to anyone who holds you.

Your mouth was very sore today...your right bottom tooth is getting ready to pop. I wonder how long it will be until your second tooth is through.

Your daddy and Pappa Mike are going to ride bikes again tomorrow. They are going to ride up in your neck of the woods, so I will come to see you, too. I'm sure that we will find lots of fun things to do. Love you, Dougie. See you tomorrow.
