I have eight teeth now (3 molars) & I'm cutting an eigth tooth, another molar. I've been having to take Advil & Anbesol for the pain, but it doesn't taste too bad. I've had a sinus infection & have been taking medicine for it, too. Now, that medicine tastes awful!! So, does the antibiotic!! YUCK!! My broken leg is all healed up now. I only have one pressure sore that neeeds to finish healing. It is on my heel. It has scabbed over real nicely, but Momma says it is likely to leave a scar. Momma's is really happy that so far I have only had one slight cold & now this sinus infection. She thinks that's pretty darn good, since the doctors warned I'd have many upper respiratory infections. I guess I've been showing them, huh?

"Momma is so proud of me again!!!" I was in my fifth pageant on January the 30th & won "2nd Runner-Up" & "Best Personality". I don't know when my next pageant will be. Momma is going to be giving a charity pageant with the proceeds going to the DOWN SYNDROME ASSOCIATION OF MIDDLE TENNESSEE (DSAMT) on the 30th of April. Of course, I can't be in that one. I'm sure I'll be in more pageants before too long. I'll let you know when I am.

I finally got to meet my Grandpa face to face!! He & Grandma came to visit on the 5th & stayed unitl the 10th. We had a really good time getting to know each other & playing. I even got my first haircut while they where here. I got it on the 9th, Grandma wanted to see my "before & after looks". I was very sad to see them leave. My big brother, Richard went with them, too. He will be living with them until he is 18 years old, which is less than 2 years away. He will be coming back home for visits & maybe we can even go visit him sometime. I will miss my "Bubba" alot...he was my best friend!! Don't get confused, Austin is my bestest buddy & my brother is my best friend. "Bubba" played with me alot & we even wrestled some. I liked to wrestle with him because I usually beat him...well, most of the time anyway! I love you bunches "Bubba" & miss you, too.

The pictures above are of me, my brother & a snowman. In the first picture, I'm showing you how big I've gotten. In the second picture, I'm just my smiling little self. The third picture is my brother. Of course, the fourth picture is the snowman my brother built for me. The fifth picture, is me acting silly & doing *scary face* while I'm suppossed to be eating. The sixth picture is of me after my last pageant. If you look closely in the pictures of me you can see the darned splint I had to wear for a while when I broke my leg.
