Dear Family & Friends,
I am 1 year + 1 month old today. Since I don't see the doc every month anymore, I guess my stats are 23 lbs.+ 30 inches long. Who cares anyway...the point is, I'm officially a "big boy" now because my top story for the month is
I Can Walk!
That's right folks...I can finally do it and it feels great! There's just no stopping me now. I'm really keeping my Mommy, Grammy, and Pop-Pop on their toes because I'm just all over the place. Look out E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, here I come! On the day care front, I am right in the middle of all the action with my friends. No more sitting on the sidelines and just watching for me...I'm all up in the Kool-Aid, know the flava, and it's all good!
Backin' up just a little, the month didn't get off to such a great start. I had a bad chest cold for about 2 weeks. My Mommy took me to some place called "CHOP" so the doc could take a look at me. As always, I really enjoyed all the attention from the nurses. If you haven't guessed it yet, I'm a bit of a ham, you know. Anyhoo, the doc said I had the same type of cold I had in April 2006 but, I was a big boy now and could fight it off on my own without a hospital stay. And, guess what? That's just what I did.
Some other highlights this month were birthdays: My Mommy (Feb 6th) and my Great Aunt Wanda (Feb 1st). We were all planning to go to some place called the "Olive Garden" to celebrate. After I got sick, we decided to have a chinese food fest at my house instead. The food was good (I really liked the steamed rice) and we all had a great time. I'm just sorry we forgot to take some pics. Speaking of food, I am still enjoying all kinds of different table food...in fact, anytime I see anybody eating anything, I MUST have some. I'm not shy and will try just about anything once.
Some time later after I was feeling better and showed that cold just who was the boss, I went to the movies with my Mommy, Grammy, and Pop-Pop to see "Daddy's Little Girls". Of course, I can't tell you a thing about the movie because I fell asleep. But, it was nice to finally get out of the house for a while. My Mommy, Grammy, and Pop-Pop said the movie was really good and they recommend that you see it!
The Booga & Racoon/The Name Game: I want to thank Cousin Melanie for suggesting the perfect name for the racoon my Great Aunt Wanda gave me. The name she suggests is "Bandit!" Don't you just love it? I know I do and that is going to be his name!
Well, I guess that's all for now. My Mommy and Pop-Pop are doing fine. Unfortunately, my Grammy caught my cold and is a little under the weather right now. I'm sure she will be fine in a few more days. As always, they all said to tell you "hello". Look for my next update on 03/24/06.
Take care...
Love, "The Booga"

My Mommy's friend Danielle took these pics while we were at her house on Thanksgiving Day 2006. She sent them to my Mommy in a birthday card. Thanks Danielle!

It's just "The Booga!"
P.S. Congratulations to Cousins Ryan, Melanie, and Miles on the move to the new house. Cousin Miles, let's set up a play date so I can see that great playroom of yours in person. I saw the pics and it's just TOO NEAT! So, let's "reak some havic" in there now that we can both walk. Have your peeps call my peeps, OK?
