Booga Update 09/24/06

Hi

Dear Family & Friends,

I am 8 months old today. I have no idea how much I weigh or how long I am because I don't see the doc every month anymore. If I had to take a guess, I'm probably around 21-22 lbs and 27-28 inches long. I have accomplished several things this month that I'm quite proud of...I can crawl, pull myself up, and eat finger foods! I also learned how to clap my hands so, I think I'll give myself a hand for all that I've done. Y-e-a-h, [clap, clap]! I still have 2 teeth and would like to know when the others are going to get here? I wish they would hurry up so I can eat more foods.

I really enjoy going to day care because it's a happy place. I love watching my friends playing all day and can't wait until I can play with them. Miss Nyeisha and Ms. Bea* are really nice and they take really good care of me. When my friends start going home, Ms. Bea let's me have the floor all to myself so I can crawl around and explore as much as I want and, it's fun. She also put me in a bouncer and you know, I love to bounce!

My Great Grandmother "Pumpkin Pie" and others have been giving me beginner walking lessons. They are having a little trouble getting me to focus on what I need to do with my feet. I have wanted to walk ever since I was born so, I know it won't be long before I get the hang of it.

Other special happenings this month were my Grandmother's birthday and of course, Cousin Rikki's wedding! My Grandmother doesn't want me to talk about how OLD she is but, she was just invited to her 30-year high school reunion so, that should give you a clue. Anyhoo, the wedding was really nice and I hope Cousin Rikki and my new Cousin Troy will be very happy. It was great to be there and the reception was the bomb! I was out on the dance floor with anyone who would take me. I also had a chance to visit with many of my cousins: Jaden, Janiah, Leila, Nailah, and Jackson. I met my new Cousin Jaden (II) for the first time...he was so little and cute. I can remember "back in the day" when I was that little and cute but, I'm a big boy now! I can't wait until we all get together again.

My Mommy started a new job at the law firm where she works and she really likes it. My Grandparents are also doing well. As always, they all said to tell you "hello". Well, I guess that's all for now. Look for my next update on 10/24/06. See you then!

Love, "The Booga..."

Creepy Crawler On The Loose

"We interrupt this broadcast for a Special News Bulletin..."

Static

"The Booga Wooga Can Crawl!"

Reporter: "So Booga, we heard you didn't like to crawl.
What made you decide to give it another try?"

Booga: "I got tired of people buggin' me about it. They kept puttin' my toys on the other side of the room and tryin' to make me crawl to 'em. A brotha couldn't even play in peace!"

Reporter: "Booga, now that you've shown 'em all that you can do it, what's next now that you're mobile?"

Booga: "I'm takin' my toys and goin' to Disney World!


Reporter: "Well, you heard it folks...The Booga Can Crawl! We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming."

    PRAYER FOR CHILDREN

    Lord Jesus, You were never too busy to pay attention to children, for You dearly loved them. We are happy that you love us and that You have time to listen to our prayers and to answer them. We thank You that You have made us Your own. As we get bigger and stronger every day, help us to grow stronger in our faith too. Bless our parents, whom You have given to us, and help us to respect and obey them, to love and treasure them. Forgive us when we disobey them or when we fail to respect them as Your previous gifts to us. Give them the wisdom to train us in the good and right way. Bless our home and every member of our family with a strong faith in You and true love to one another. Teach us to be kind, unselfish, helpful, cheerful, forgiving, and faithful in our duties. Help us to be like You, Lord Jesus, to grow in wisdom and character and in favor with God and all people. Send Your angels to watch over us, to keep us from all harm of body and soul. Bless us, and make us a blessing to our family and friends. Amen.



    Thank you for stopping by and come back again!
