Hi everybody. I want to start my saying Happy Mother's Day to Mom and Grandma and Gram. Dad and I were sick on Sunday, so we weren't able to celebrate too much. Luckily everybody is feeling better now.

Yesterday was pretty exciting. I went for a bike ride with Mom and Dad. I get to wear a funky looking hat, and I get my own trailer all to myself. It was a lot of fun. After the bike ride, I helped Mom and Dad pull up plants. They kept saying, "No Billy, we're just pulling out the weeds today," but I can't tell a weed from not a weed. I just wanted to help so I'd pull whatever I could. Then Mom and Dad found a way for me to help out really good. They'd put the weeds on the ground, and I'd carry them over and put them in the bucket. I was good at that because I just thought of the weeds as sticks, and I know how to pick up sticks.

That's all for now, Love Billy

I've been a really busy boy lately. Last week, Mom and Dad took me to this place where everybody dressed funny, I think they called it Frankenmuth. They had really yummy chicken there. Plus, I got a couple of nice long naps in the car.

I also had my 15 month doctor appointment. I'm 32 1/2 in. tall, and I weigh 29 pounds. I didn't have much fun though because I got 4 shots. At least I don't have to get anymore for a really long time, plus they gave me a sucker.

At home I've become a really good climber. I can climb on most furniture now. And when I'm paying attention, my dismounts are usually pretty good. But when I'm not paying attention, I tend to fall, luckily there's always someone there to catch me.

Yesterday was a lot of fun. I got to play outside because the weather was nice. That's good because there have been a lot of sticks that I haven't been able to deal with. Plus, Aunt Kristin came to visit me. I showed her I took care of all the sticks in the yard. I miss my Aunt Kristin because I don't get to see her very often. Well, that's all for now.

Love Billy
