Episode IV: "A New Hope"

Although I usually wake up in a pretty good mood, I was especially happy when I woke up this morning. Not only am I becoming a pro at eating pureed peas, and not only are the Steelers on their way to the Super Bowl (yay!), but I got to watch Barack Obama become the 44th President of the United States. I slept through some of the ceremony (what can I say? inauguration ceremonies are not the most exciting events for a 5-month-old to watch!), but I got to watch all the people gather together and cheer for him, and I watched all the musicians play and sing. Mommy and Daddy are pretty happy, and hoping that he can make a difference in healthcare and education so that I can grow up big and strong, and have every possible opportunity to be whatever I want to be.



















This is me shortly after I woke up this morning - Mommy and Daddy call me
a "morning person"... and wonder where I get it from!


Speaking of growing up big and strong, Mommy and Daddy made me pureed peas this week, so that's been part of my dinner for the past couple of days. It was a little strange eating bright green food, but after a few bites, I decided I really liked it! I heard Mommy and Daddy say that if I do well eating peas, then maybe I can try something called "pears" soon... I don't know what that is, but I'm excited to try it!

Mommy also explained to me that since the Steelers won their last game, that made them one of the teams that will play in the Super Bowl, which sounds like the most fun football game to watch! I'll have to make sure she washes my Steelers outfits so that I'm ready. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks - until next time!



















This is one of the outfits I'll be wearing on Super Bowl Sunday... go Steelers!
