…and then, Alligator, when you’re asleep, the Toenail Faery comes along and ‘Snip. Snip. Snip.’ Just like that.

We moved out of the master bedroom today so we could fix the ceiling. Mom thinks it’s oh-so-slowly falling down and that evisceration by ceiling fan is a stupid way to die.

Mom went back to aikido for the first time in a year. While we were there, this nice guy Danny taught me a kokyu nage throw.

Instead of walking around the neighborhood in the kangaroo harness, now we do step aerobics in this wrap. I would tell you more about it, but… I fell asleep half way through.

Ooohowie! I hate vaccinations. 

Before the pointy things, I had all my measurements taken. I’m 14lb 11oz and 26″ (70something and 90something percentiles, respectively).

The urologist says my hydronephrosis is way mild. We just have to pay attention when I get a fever, but otherwise the only thing he recommended was that we get another ultrasound in a year.

(So that’s what that looks like.)

Bouncity bouncity!

Got this cool hand-me-down from cousin Henry; I think it’s called a Johanna Jump-Up.

The box says it’s going to improve my gross motor skills, balance, and grasp of cause and effect. Dad says that last part is what the huge, powerful spring up top of the straps is for. He and Mom cackled a little when he said that. I wonder why.

We went to go pick up our CSA but  – WHOAH – they picked ME up!

Heard on the kidney front. It’s still the same (slight hydronephrosis). My pediatrician isn’t worried, but wants me to see a urologist to see if there’s any long-term monitoring we need to do. (sigh)

The ‘rents have been trying all sorts of things to get me to sleep on my left side because my head is ‘warped’.

I don’t think any amount of propping up is going to stop the puns…
(Got my (hopefully) final kidney ultrasound today. Waiting for the word from the baby vet.)

Mom called me flaky! Me!

When she’s the one applying olive oil and a toothbrush to the baby!
