Well, you could definitely call me a toddler now. I run everywhere. I try to speak in my own language and I'm more emotional than mom was when she was pregnant AND nursing! (well, almost) I'm learning new things every minute! Mom and dad keep saying they better watch what they say and do, bc I pretty much pick up on everything. I can point to my nose, head, eyes, ears and mouth when you tell me to. When I get my diaper changed or hear ANYBODY fart I say "Peee ewe!" I cover my mouth when I cough (even when it's a fake cough). Nobody taught me that, I just mimick what I see others do. I can understand simple orders my mom gives me, like,"Go get your shoes". When we put baby Faylen down for a nap I say, "SSSSSShhhhhh" with my finger up to my mouth. I LOVE to dance. Infact, I look soooo hilarious when I dance. I only have to hear like 2 seconds of a song before I break out in this crazy Elaine-like Seinfeld dance. I spend most of my day listening to music and dancing. Check out my youtube clip. I've got some good moves you could learn from me. :) I love to play in the orchard and eat apples. I got a MoHawk and a shaved head. I've become quite the backseat driver. When mom drives around a sharp turn fast, everytime I say, "Whoooaaaa!"
My sister, Faylen, is now almost 5 months old and a whopping 15 lbs! She's got the Heyman chunky legs like me. We'll probly be able to leg press 5 times our weight when we're like 2 years old. She's starting to look more like me, so people say. She can roll over onto her stomach and back now! I didn't start doing that until I was almost 6 months bc I had such a Buddha belly. Faylen is a much happier baby these days. She sleeps better, she laughs a lot and hardly cries. Really the only screaming she does now is the whole time she's in her carseat. I just sit there patiently in the car, holding her hand, and staring at her with a sad look on my face when she does that. She can reeeeheeeheeealy get worked up in that darn carseat! She likes to hold onto toys, especially her favorite little beach ball. She likes to lie on her back and play with her toes. 
We went on a short trip up to Markleeville (near Tahoe), where mom's family is staying for a few months. I loved playing with Uncle Josh and Auntie shosh in the water at the lake for hours!!!! It was sooo warm I decided to skinny dip. ;) Uncle Josh got pretty attached to Faylen while we were there. She was very happy in his arms. (See slide show)
I really missed my mom and sis when they left for four days and flew to Colorado to be in Kari's wedding. Faylen said that Kari looked sooooo beautiful. She did a great job not crying while Grandma Susan held her during the ceremony. At the reception Faylen danced with mom for hours. I'm sure mom had fun showing her off to all her friends. They had fun staying at Mark and Julie's house where she got to meet and play with baby Ethan. Mom and Faylen also go to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa Heyman and Auntie Shosh for a little while. They drove all the way to Colorado! They are such road-trippers! Faylen did great on the plane. All the airline attendants wanted to hold her during the flight. I was sooo glad when mom came home. We really missed eachother and had never been away from eachother for more than a couple hours before that. (see slide show)Mom and dad are still looking for a home. They are a little nervous now with the economy being all crazy. We should all remember to pray for our country, our president, and our future president! I hope you are going to get out there and vote!
Love,
Li'l John
