Metro Light Rail

Today I got to ride a real Choo Choo (ok, maybe not a real choo choo, actually electrical powered)! It was the grand opening of the mass transit system Metro Light Rail in Phoenix. A little behind the times, but finally it is here and boy is it cool! We will get to ride the train to get out more and explore down town Tempe and go to Diamondbacks and Suns games. We can even take it almost all the way to Grandma's house! Choo! Choo! Later.

9 Month Check-up

Once again I had a trip to the doc, this time NO SHOTS!! Weighing in at 17 lbs and 15 oz, my weight gain has slowed due to my active lifestyle these days. I am able to pull to stand, kneel, and climb over anything in my way. I am getting a little taller at 27 3/4 inches and all my other stats are decent. I get to start eating more meat, cheese and berries! Since I now have 6 teeth, I can't wait to dig in. I am solely on formula now, which doesn't taste as good as the real stuff but I can handle it for a few months. Well, we are off to ride a real train. I'll write later and tell you all about it.

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Well, today was the day that Santa guy from Bass Proshop was suppose to bring me presents!! Boy, did he ever!! Everything started last nite (Christmas Eve). We went to church with the Deers and we saw Uncle Mike there. Then we went to the Deers house and met the Riveras where we hung out and all us kids played. I had a fun time till I got tired. Then when I woke up this morning there were a whole bunch of presents under the Christmas Tree. I got a train, dumptruck and lots of things to play with. Then Grandma Williams and Drew came over. Dad cooked a roast and turkey. Ryan and Lily came over with their mom and dad. Ryan, Lily and I played all day!! We had so much fun. Then it turned nice outside and we sat at the front door. I'm beat, so I'm going to bed. I can't wait till next year, it's even going to be more fun!! Later!!

9 months

What's cracking people? Can you believe it, I'm 9 months old. Boy time flies!! I have 5 teeth now and I just started eating baby crackers!! Those things are awesome!! I was helping mom in the kitchen. She was baking stuff so I thought I would help out. Actually, she left do gate open and I snuck in like a stealth bomber. I'm getting good motoring around in stealth mode. Sometimes mom and dad can't hear me but Ruby keeps an eye on me, It's awesome. That's all I got for now. A few more days till Christmas!! People have been telling me what to expect, can't wait. Peace in the Middle East!!

Gooding's Christmas Party!!

Hey Guys,

Last nite we went to Uncle Mike and Aunt Kara's annual Christmas Party. I had a great time. Aunt Tonia took good care of me. I played with cousin Lily and Uncle Luis. I think Ryan was running all over the place. I also loved playing under Aunt Kara's coffee table. I had a lot of fun sliding around. I can't wait till next year then I can play with all the big kids. Then we can get into all kinds of trouble!! Take care. Till next time!

Santa Claus

Hey Guys,

Because I was so good at the Doc's mom and dad took me to see Santa Claus (whoever that is). He was a big fella with a white beard and coffee breath. Mom and dad told me that he is the guy who will bring me presents every December 25th if I am a good boy. He need not worry, I should be cleaning up every Christmas!! We went to Bass Pro Shop to see this Santa guy. It was a cool place. There were some big fish in there along with a lot of animals. I can't wait to go back. Well I gotta go be good so I can get more stuff. Peace out!!

Cardiologist Visit

Hey guys,

Today I had my follow-up visit with my cardiologist Dr. Jedeikin. My doc found a heart murmer and he wanted me to see a cardiologist. I know my ticker is fine but they just wanted to be sure. It is an innocent positional heart murmer and it is pretty common in little guys like me. I had a blast at the docs office. They hooked me up to this cool machine that made noises. I thought I'd give the doc a hand with his stethescope. Everything checked out ok and I don't need to go back for a whole year!! Yeah!!! Thats it for now. Later

Cookie Party!!

Hey Everyone!!

Today was our Cookie Party. All of my friends came over and they decorated cookies. We had a ton of people here. Mom and dad didn't let me cauz I am still a little too small. But next year watch out!! I'm gonna do some damage!! I had a great time. I got to be lazy. Everyone wanted to hang out with me so I didn't have to do a thing. Aunt Jen even read me a story. I met my new buddy Brady but dad didn't get a good picture so I took one with his dad Matt. I can't wait till next year. All the big kids had so much fun. Till next time.
