Booga Update 07/24/06

Dear Family & Friends,

I am 6 months old today, 19 lbs+2 ozs, and 27 inches long. My next appointment with the Doc is tomorrow and I’m scheduled to get more of those horrible shots! Being at day care with all my friends is great. I can sit up now but I have to work on "staying" up. Right now, it seems like it’s easier and more fun to just lay down and “roll” wherever I want to go. Crawling is too much work. Maybe I’ll give it another try next month. I’m still on water, juice, milk, cereal, veggies, and fruit but, I think that may change. It looks like my first tooth is going to appear soon. When it does, “finger foods” look out…here I come! It’s been a very busy month and I have been on the move. I’m still making my rounds and meeting some family and friends for the first time. My Mom and Grandparents are having trouble keeping up with me. They all complain about being tired and I feel like I’m just getting started. I may have to strike out on my own and leave all the “tired folk” at home! Here are just some of the things I did this past month.

1. Attended Cousin Miles' Christening

2. Attended a family meeting about the Meuse Reunion

3. Attended the King Family Picnic

4. Went bowling at Center Lanes

5. Went to South Street & Penn’s Landing

6. Spent the day with my Godmother Latoya

7. Attended Cousin Rikki’s surprise bridal shower

You name it...I was there! It was great to finally meet my Cousins Jackson, Jaden, Janiah, Laila, and Nailah. I hear I have another new cousin by the name of Jaden and I can't wait to meet him too. My Mom and Grandparents are doing fine and said to tell you "hello"! NO, my Grandmother has not decided on a name yet. Well, that's all for now. Look for my next update on 08/24/06. Don't forget to come back from time to time to check for new pics. Thanks for stopping by!

Love, "The Booga..."

Gone But Not 4 Gotten

"My Mommy told me she had a cat."

"And her name was 'Pebbles'."

"My Mommy said she loved 'Pebbles' very much."

"And that means, I would have loved 'Pebbles' too!"

The Rainbow Bridge

Because of its many colors, the bridge connecting Heaven and Earth has come to be known as the Rainbow Bridge. Just this side of the Bridge, there is a land of meadows, hills, and lush green valleys. When a beloved pet passes away, this wonderful place serves as their new home. There is always an abundance of food, water, and warm sunshine. Old and frail animals are young again, and those who have been maimed are made whole. They make new friends and play all day. Pets touch our lives for a short time but they remain in the warmest corners of our of hearts forever.
