This morning we discovered that Bubeaner speaks in his sleep... like his Momma and aunts.  This probably explains why he is talkative in the early, early mornings.  Dad just groaned at the discovery.

Bubeaner celebrated his aunt Lari's 16th birthday today.  Of course, it mainly consisted of him getting more hugs and kisses.  And poor Lari ended up making her own birthday cake too since we are in a cake decorating class.   Her cake came out beautiful.

Today Bubeaner joined us in the pool.  There was no reason for concern.  He was completely relaxed and enjoyed splashing his aunt and Momma.  We practiced "floating" on his back.  He did a great job.  We took video of him trying to swim moving his arms and legs.

And recently Bubeaner figured out how to maneuver his walker more easily.  We have a mobil Bubeaner!  He now also moves forward as well as sideways and backwards.  Unfortunately, he also discovered the wall outlets.  The moment he sees one he raises both arms in the air and propels himself towards them.  Why is he drawn to the things that are dangerous for him?  Sigh.  PiCasita will now have to be fully child-proofed.

On our way home from the cake decorating class, we stopped by the NICU for a quick visit and drop off one of the cakes.  We saw some of the nurses that took care of him including RN Tigger and RN Tammie.  Sadly we missed RN Lisa.  We hope to visit again during one of her shifts.
