I didn’t want the nurses to do anything with me so they gave me some medicine to relax me. Then I still fought them when they tried to put the anesthesia mask over my face. The surgery went well and I slept a lot when they bought me back to mommy. Then I got sick too everytime I tried to drink something. I had to stay at the hospital for 7 hours.

Right now I can only get the “Ha, ha, ha, hee, hee, hee” and mommy sings the “come on it silly and sing with me giggle, gaggle, wiggle, waggle, ho, ho, hum, if you’re feeling silly let it show”, we sing this song all the time!

Some new names I can say are Kimmie (mimmie), Dan, Janet (jaja), Brian (bb), Shawn is baby, Ashleigh (ah-hee), Amy, Josh, and some more.

08/05/00 - Tonight mommy & daddy took me to a big race track, MIR - Maryland Internation Raceway.

Everyone got lots of candy and little goodies. I got a ton of presents, too much stuff to list but I love it all! After the party and a lot of people left daddy, Billy, and Brandon let off fireworks. I didn't like it too much though b/c they were tooo loud. But other than that it was a great day!

07/17/00 - Well, my birthday is tomorrow but we aren't having a party until this weekend. Maybe I can talk mommy & daddy into giving me a present early though! We'll see!

07/13/00 - Well, I've been to the carnival 3 times now and I love it! I love all the rides! Even the big kid rides. They scare mommy so it's just me and daddy!

07/04/00 - Yesterday Daddy and Mommy bought a shed and today I got to help Daddy and Granddaddy put it together! It was fun! Then we went to mommy's uncle Jimmy's house and watched fireworks. I liked these fireworks b/c we were far away and there were no loud noises just the pretty colors!

06/29/00 - I’m almost 2 now and I’m starting to talk more. At the table I like to tell everyone Eat and then say their name. Mommy thinks it’s cute. I also now correct everyone by say No-No and pointing my finger at them. Mommy thinks that’s cute too.

06/25/00 - Well, last week we went on vacation to Myrtle Beach with my mommy’s aunt and uncle and their family. It was fun. Mommy and daddy woke me up really early on Tuesday morning and we went for a long car ride. I slept most of the way though. On our first day there we went to an aquarium with lots of fish and sharks. It was really neat. Then that night we did a lot of shopping and even got to watch fireworks. I didn’t really like them though, mommy thinks they were too loud for me. We even went to the beach that day too. I loved it at the beach. Wednesday we went to an awesome water park. I got to ride on 3 big slides with daddy and then there was a great kiddy park where I spent most of the day. Then we went to the beach and hotel pool too (we did this everyday and I loved it)! Thursday we went to a go-cart track. I wanted to ride everything but could only stay in the kiddy section b/c I wasn’t big enough for the other rides. But I did get to play miniature golf for a little while before the rain came. Friday we went to and amusement park. I loved to drive the old-time cars and the roller coaster for kids. I even got to go in the haunted house 2 times. But I wasn’t really scared. Then on Saturday we woke up and mommy and daddy packed all our stuff. Then mommy and I went to the beach to say bye-bye. And then it was time to go home so another long car ride. But I did goo. I really miss the beach now. While we were there I learned 3 new words = beach, pool and put-put!

06/17/00 - Today mommy and I went and picked up daddy. I really did miss him these past 2 weeks!

06/09/00 - Mommy, Grandma, and me went to Children’s Hospital yesterday. I had to wait a long time and then I got to see 2 doctors. One was the dr. I was supposed to see and the other one was a dr. that is the head of the department. They didn’t do any tests to me but they both listened to me and asked mommy a lot of questions. I was very tired so I was very fussy! But I was good considering the circumstances. He gave me a new medicine that I chew and then told mommy to keep giving me my breathing treatments and he wants to see me back in 8 weeks. Him and mommy talked a lot but I was soo tired that I didn’t pay attention. Last night it was sooo nice outside that mommy let me go outside and play. I had sooo much fun.

06/07/00 - Not too much has been going on lately. I've been to the doctor a lot b/c I'm having trouble with him asthma and allergies. Tomorrow I go to Children's Hospital in Washington, DC to see a pulmonary specialist and hopefully he can "fix" me. Daddy is gone for 2 weeks to Ohio now. I really miss him but last night I got to talk to him on the phone. I didn't talk much but I wouldn't put the phone down, mommy thinks I just liked listening to him. Daddy will be home on the 17th so that's not too far away. Mommy thinks I'm going through the terrible 2s right now. I don't like to listen and I've starting hitting, biting and I even tell my mommy to "ut up" when she tells me to do something. Mommy hopes it's just a phase though. Humm what else, actually I think that's it pretty boring I know. Mommy will post again soon to update on what the specialist at Children's Hospital says.

05/24/00 - Gosh, mommy has been soo busy lately that she hasn't got to update my page at all. Let's see what's been going on? I've been sick again, sinus problems and wheezing. No medicines seem to be working so mommy doesn't know what they are going to do with me. I now know 1 color = blue or as I say it Boo. I love to eat boo poppycicles. They are my favorite. Mommy and Daddy got married this past weekend and I got to be in the wedding. I was their ring bearer (along with Uncle Brian). I got to wear a little tux and all. I did such a good job too. I walked down the isle and held Nessa's hand, she was one of the flowergirls. Everyone thought we were sooo adorable and we really were. Then after the wedding we all got to go to the reception and party. I love to dance. My new favorite song is the Thong Song. I love to dance to that song. I try to copy the people on MTV when I watch it with Uncle Robbie. Mommy thinks I'm the cutest little thing when I'm dancing, and I think she's right! Well, I guess that's about all for now, mommy will try to update more often now that she will have a little more time.

05/07/00 - It’s been really hot here lately but when the sun goes down a little mommy lets me outside to play. Today she took me to the park. It was soo much fun.

05/06/00 - Tonight mommy and daddy took me to the Spring Festival. It was fun. I got to play some games and win a little football some beads and a lollypop. Then there were some rides that were fun. I wanted to ride the bumper cars really bad but the guy said maybe next year when I was a little bigger. But I still had fun.

05/02/00 - Tonight mommy and I were going to the grocery store. But on the way we drove past the park and since it was soo nice outside mommy decided to stop and let me play. I had fun! And guess what, I might get to go back again tomorrow since daddy had class he didn’t get to go with us so maybe we’ll go back tomorrow with him.

04/29/00 - Last night I went with mommy, daddy, and Uncle Robbie to Bowie. We visited my Grandma, then went to Pizza Hut and then we went to a baseball game. I had sooo much fun. The game was neat but it bored me sometimes so luckily there was all sorts of neat stuff for me to do. There was a grassy hill beside the stands where all the little kids could run around and play, and there were wooden climbing toys with slides and neat stuff and there was even a huge Titantic slide and a merry-go-round. I only went on the slide once but the merry-go-round I must have ridden a billion times. I even made friends with the ride conductor. Mommy and Daddy thought it was funny b/c the guy would hold while he collected tickets and then he would give me free rides. It was great. I had fun and can’t wait to go again!

04/23/00 - Easter Bunny visited me today, and he must have really liked me because he left me a ton of stuff. I got popcicles, pudding, fruit roll-ups and some candy. He also left me 2 coloring books, a Barney sing-a-long book and cassette, sidewalk chalk, bath foam, a new tigger scrubby, the fisher price airplane I wanted in the store last month, a Pokemon kite and ball and a and a basketball hoop of my own. My aunt Carla said it looked like Santa Clause had been there too but mommy told me no just the Easter bunny. We went to my mom-mom and pop-pop's house and had dinner and then an Easter egg hunt, I didn't really care too much about finding the eggs, I was just happy to be outside. Grandma and Pops got me Josh, and Nessa a neat new swingset for when we play at their house. I love it soo much!

04/19/00 - Mommy has really been slacking on my page lately! Not too much has been going on though so she is forgiven! I woke up sick again yesterday so I'm back on my breathing treatments. It's been raining a lot here lately so I haven't gotten to go outside and play much but I try, I love to excape out the door. My new favorite foods are vanilla pudding, fruit roll ups and popcicles! Really nutritious I know! I had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago and found out that my tubes are now gone. Wonder when those fell out? Sunday baby Shawn got baptized so I went to the church to see that. Mommy is afraid to have me in the wedding now b/c she doesn’t know how I’ll act, I hate to sit still and be quiet!!!!!! Oh Monday I got to go to work with mommy for a little while. It was her day off but she had some stuff to do so she took me along. I liked it there! Oh, a couple of weeks ago mommy took me to get my hair cut and this time she really got it cut, not just trimmed. I was a big boy while they used the clippers on me. I look soo cute, and soo grown up now! Well, that’s all mommy can think of at the moment to write about! Maybe if she wrote in here more often she wouldn’t forget soooo easily! Happy Easter to everyone!!!!

03/28/00 - Mommy has been soo busy that he has not had time to update my page but she will try to now. Last week I got another sinus infection. So I had to go to the doctor for new medicine and I'm doing great now. I love to go out to dinner with Grandma and Granddad on Saturday evenings. Everytime we pull into the parking lot and I realize where we are I throw a fit, mommy thinks it's more for the 3 arcade games than the food though. We went to the zoo on the 25th. That was fun. One of these days mommy will posts some pictures from the zoo. Oh I did something cute last week, daddy had left his cassette walkman in the living room so I went and picked it up. I put it up to my face and started walking around saying "Cheese" and taking pictures of stuff. Mommy says I have a great imagination. Well, that's about all that I can think of now so I'll have mommy write more later.

03/15/00 - Mommy wants to share a cute moment with you: Last night we were all 3 laying in bed (Tyler in the middle like always) and watching "Who wants to be a millionare?". Well, Tyler turned around to the wall and noticed his shadow. I guess this is the first time he's actually noticed it. Well, he started moving his head, playing like peak-a-boo or something. Well, I nudged Chris and we both smiled b/c it was soo cute. Well, Chris, being the mean daddy he is, gave Tyler bunny ears. Well, Ty looked at the wall and his eyes got big and he hid under the pillow. When he came out he looked at the wall and Chris did it again and Tyler hid agian. Well, they kept this up for a little while and then finally I made Chris stop so he started making shadow pupets but Tyler didn't like them. It was just sooo cute the look on his face. This doesn't make sense the way I wrote it, guess it's one of those you had to be there moments but it was soo cute to look at his face.

03/06/00 - Today mommy and I planted flowers outside our door while daddy put together some new furniture. I love to be outside.

03/04/00 - Today Joshua came to my house to unpack his stuff in our garage. After that Grandma cooked on the grill. It was good.

03/03/00 - Today we went to Landover Hills and helped Unlce Jr and Aunt Kendra move. They are going to live with Grandma and Pops now. I got to play outside with Nessa and Joshua all day.

03/02/00 - Tonight we moved all of daddy's stuff from Pop's and Grandma's house to mine and mommy's house. I helped as much as I could but most of the stuff was too big for me to lift.

02/28/00 - I like to swing outside like a big boy now, guess I can give my airplane swing to Shawn .

02/26/00 - Last night Mommy and Daddy went to a Wizzards game, I got to spend the night with Grandma and Granddad. Since my favorite sport is basketball, I love trying to play but I need daddy's help to make a basket, mommy says maybe Easter Bunny will bring me a hoop that is my size.

01/24/00 - Today mommy took me to the ENT again. She says that my sinus look cloudy and that my abnoids are large so she gave me some new medicine to try. We'll see what happens but I hope it works because I'm tired of being sick all the time.

01/21/00 - Tonight everyone went bowling. I even got to go. And the place even had shoes small enough to fit me. Can you believe that. I had sooo much fun. I would roll the ball and then try to chase it down the lane or I would turn around and clap for myself. It was fun.

01/17/00 - Today mommy and daddy took me to the doctor because there is a knott on my head that won't go away. He sent me for x-rays. I did not like that I was afraid of the machine. The doctor says that my 2 growth plates are on top of each other but they have not fused yet so he is not worried but mommy and daddy are still. Also, he said that the x-rays show that my sinus passages are cloudy so I have to go see the ENT (the same one that put my tubes in my ears) to have her check it out.

10/07/99 - I love going for walks in the evenings. I get to see all the animals on the farm. My favorites are them all. Mommy thinks I look cute when I squat down and hit my legs and "cluck" to try to get the animals to come to me. Here are some new words I've learned from my walks: "kiggkigg" (kitty), "doggie", "mmmmm" (moo cows), "luck" (chickens and ducks - how do big people tell them apart?), and I can say something that mommy knows means tractor.

10/05/99 - I like to play outside. I can attempt to climb the slide ladder but mommy always runs and helps me (how am I ever going to learn). I also now like to try to use the big kid swing. I don't sit in it rather I lay on it and it's like I'm flying. Speaking of flying, I love planes. If I hear one I'll look up at the sky until I can see it. (lucky for me we live near an airport) I also love to try to climb onto bikes and tractors (the lawn mower is about all that is my size but I try for the bigger ones).

10/03/99 - Mommy, aunt Missy and I went back to Ft. Meade today to get daddy. I missed him this weekend but I wouldn't let him know it, I tried to play it cool and not hug and kiss him until we got home. That will teach him to leave me again.

10/01/99 - Today mommy and I woke up real early to take Daddy up to Ft. Meade b/c he has to go away for the weekend. On our way home mommy & me stopped by my daddy's grandparents' house. They were shocked to see me. I don't get to see them that often so it was nice to visit with them.

08/31/99 - To get what I want I now reach out and move my fingers into my hand (like a backwards wave).

08/20/99 - I went to another carnival tonight. It was only me and mommy though b/c daddy was too tired to go. Since he stayed home, mommy got me a temporary tattoo on my arm where daddy has his so we match now. Mine is a little blue dragon. I love to look at it in the mirror.

08/19/99 - I can now cluck! (you know using my tounge on the roof of my mouth) I do this all the time now. My mommy thinks it the cutest thing when I chase the doggie and hold out my hand and cluck while running after him.

08/09/99 - I went to the carnival for the last time this year. I must have rode those horsies 10 times. I love them things. I almost made mommy cry b/c I did the most big boyest thing. Everytime we would pass daddy I would wave or say bye-bye all on my own with out her telling me to do it.

07/29/99 - I now shake my head side to side when I mean no.

07/24/99 - I went with my mommy to her cousin's baby shower. I had fun. There was a little girl there that I played with, I was 31 minutes older than her. Our mommies thought that was soo neat.
