So a lot of family and reader’s blowing up my phone wondering – “Is everything ok”? Well, yeah…everything is fine. Nothing new at all on the health/Cystic Fibrosis (CF) front. I’ve just been super busy per usual and I forgot to click publish on the previous post when I was finished…so it’s been a while. My bad.
On Oct 3rd, me, Mom, and Dad drove down to the Richmond area (RVA) to see my one of my great grandmothers as we celebrated her 94th birthday. It was suppose to be at the family farm in Isle of Wight, but Hurricane Joaquin had different plans and flooded the Hampton Roads area with lots and lots of rain. Fine by us since it shaved an hour off our drive time.
Prior to the trip down south, me and Dad experienced a lot over the previous week. Someone backed into us in the parking lot at our complex. Then Dad nearly burnt down the condo when he forgot about my nebulizer and pacifiers boiling in the pot of water. Guess it was just one of those weeks. While the picture doesn’t do it justice…it was quite scary as the flame shot out of the pot and Mom grabbed me and ran out the condo while Dad fought the flames. It sent a cloud of smoke through the house so we decided to sleep at TMZ’s house for the night.
To make up for it…Dad and I tried cooking pasta for Mom later that week – with a new pot of course.
While you can’t really see them in any photo yet, I have two front bottom teeth coming in. They are razor sharp. I love standing on everything and walking around my crib and standing in the bathtub. I like to think I’m grown.
If anyone sits me down, I’ll probably be cool with it for a few minutes until I cry. I don’t like crawling and have not shown the ability to crawl yet. This means I want you to pick me up and walk me around by my arms or put me in one of those walkers (see below). Mom took me over to Madison Manor tennis court which was recently repaved and I ran around like a crazy man.
After the hurricane left with all its rain, it brought some beautiful weather so me, Mom, and Dad all went for a hike in Great Falls on the VA side.
I love the Osprey child carrier pack which Dad picked up with his REI points. Mom uses it in the morning to take me out to the car and free up her hands and Dad carries me all around town in it when he gets home in the afternoons (when he doesn’t work late and p*** off Mom). He claims we’re going to hike Old Rag soon, but I’m not sure he has it in him.
Outside of that, nothing new on the home front. The damage to the car is getting fixed this week and Dad still has plans to repaint the kitchen. He also has aspirations of climbing Old Rag with me on his back.
So I have a few appointments coming up – 9 month pediatrician appointment and Pulmonary checkup at Children’s National Medical Center with Dr. Sami, Dr. Shukla, and team. Lastly, Dad and I need to know if the below costume idea is okay…or is it too soon? Mom thinks its completely inappropriate and in poor taste.
