Cousin Caroline

Well mommy went back to work so two days a week I spend the day at home with Gabrial. As much as I miss mommy (and daddy too) during the day, I enjoy having a different face and style of play a couple times a week.

I am working diligently on my New Year's resolutions. For starters, I am now eating select fruits and veggies. So far I have had pears, avocado, and prunes (gotta eat the fibrous fruits to keep my system moving as the iron in the cereal and I are not getting along). I also am playing plenty. I've learned how to swivel around and enjoy all of the fun toys on my Exersaucer. Mommy and I play "catch" with my oversized plush baseball. Daddy keeps me giggling with his goofy faces and dances and I am fascinated with my spinning bears toy. So no problems keeping that resolution. I am also doing better on mom and dad's resolution for me - to nap more. I have taken a few near 3-hour naps this week. I know there is still a lot of time left in the year, but I'm proud of how well I've taken on my resolutions.

Last weekend mom, dad, and I went to our neighborhood block party. Mom and dad let me stay up until 8:30pm to hobnob with all of the neighbors. I was especially fond of Barbie, the woman with the red hair who grew up in the house at the end of the block. Dad says I'm a ladies man and that's why I was most interested in her. I say it's because she had long hair that looked fun to pull. It was fun to mingle and stay up late, but boy is partying hard work and exhausting. I slept in until 9am the next day.

And now for the biggest news of all for me this week. I now have a cousin! Caroline Stella Kruepke was born this morning. I can't wait to meet her. In honor of Caroline's birth, I decided to post a picture of her instead of pics of me this week. Isn't she cute!!!

Love,
Cameron
