A Journey Across the Bridge

I went to visit my friend Drew and my Auntie Mandy this afternoon. Mommy brought Uncle Andy and Auntie Mandy sandwiches from Genco's. They were going to eat while Drew and I played. Well, Drew and I had other plans. First we both were a little cranky. Then we both wanted to eat. Then I continued to be cranky even though Drew was being so nice to me. He let me borrow his saucer and all of his toys. He even rocked me in my car seat and gave me hugs before I left. Thank you Uncle Andy, Auntie Mandy, and Drew for having me over! I promise next time we will stay longer and I will be in a better mood.

I'm getting better with my tummy time! I still don't like to be on my belly that long, but I am holding myself up better. One day at a time!

Grandpa and American Idol

Today my Grandpa came to visit again. Yay! I stayed home with him while Mommy had her eyebrows threaded and made a quick Jewel run. I took a walk with Mommy to the mailroom in our Baby Bjorn. It was such a different view from the front! I could see what was coming at me rather than just laying in the stroller and going backwards! Before my last bottle, I danced with Mommy to P.Y.T. on Michael Jackson night of American Idol. Daddy thought I did a great job that he decided to take my pic. I was laughing a lot through the whole song!

Sweet Dreams! Hopefully I have the hang of this Daylight Savings thing now...

Daylight Savings Time Change and a Flood in Ryan Hall

Today, I was off an hour because someone decided we had to change the clocks. I don't understand why, but it was 8 oclock when my body said it was 7 oclock. I was so confused as to when I was suppose to fall asleep. What's the deal with that?

It rained really hard here in Romeoville. It all came down pretty fast...so fast that it flooded two residence hall rooms and the lounge in Ryan Hall. It was time to help Daddy with work. We answered phone calls from his staff, called others to help out, and answered emails. Here I am helping Daddy on his blackberry. Phew...we worked hard!

Yay for Sweet Tomatoes!

I never cease to amaze myself. Today, I let Mommy and Daddy eat at one of their favorite places to eat, "Sweet Tomatoes" in Lombard. I am usually eating my bottles every 3 hours now instead of every 2, so they can get more done. Today after I ate, we headed up north for the adventure. I slept while they ate. Then they took me to Buy Buy Baby (Uncle Paul and Auntie Stephanie, they told us that they just opened a new one in Greenwood, IN., so we thought of you.) and they took care of the problem with my humidifier and grabbed a few other things. They found out that BBBaby takes competitor's coupons, so Mommy was excited! She had Babies R Us coupons PLUS her 20% off Bed Bath and Beyond Coupons to use there!! Mommy and her coupons...sigh!

Here are a few pics of me from yesterday and today. I'm able to stand up in my walker now! I really enjoy it. I can see the world go by while Mommy pushes me around. I feel like I'm driving a car! Thanks Uncle Mikey for this great Blackhawks outfit. I wear it quite often!

Thank You Mrs. Case

Yesterday, my Daddy took the day off and we went to the outlet mall in Aurora. It was so much fun! We were able to walk around outside and enjoy the great weather. When we got home, I played a little bit and then took a bath and hit the sack. Mommy forgot to blog. Thank you for the reminder Mrs. Case :).

Wednesday, I went with Mommy to visit all her friends at Washington School as well as all of the kids. It was quite an adventure. Lots of people held me and I put on a little musical show! I tooted on Mrs. B's lap in the office while she held me, I burped for Mrs. Albandia while she held me, and I pooped on Ms. Randolph's lap at lunch time. Oops! Then while Mommy was changing me, and some of the teachers (including Mrs. Case) were still in the faculty room on their lunch, my booty started tooting. I let them know I enjoyed my lunch! :) I visited Mommy's students and fell asleep on her shoulder while we were in her classroom. Then I visited with Miss Lakovski and Mrs. Wajda at the end of the day. I wanted to be in on their conversation while Mommy fed me. I like that school and all of the people in it, but I still don't want Mommy to go back to work in a month...

Today I am going to my friend Katie's birthday party here on campus. It should be fun! Mommy is excited because we can walk to it since the weather will be nice!

I'll report later or tomorrow. Have a nice day!!

Here are a few pics of me after my bath last night. The fresh air made me so sleepy today!

Almost Ready for A New Car Seat!

Mommy took me to see Dr. Renner yesterday to check on my neck. Mommy saw this rash on in the inside of my elbows, so she wanted the doctor to check that too. I weighed in at 16 pounds 6 ounces, 25 inches long, and my head is 44cm. The doctor said I'm doing great. She said that I have sensitive skin like my Daddy, and that I have baby eczema. She told Mommy which creams to get for my skin and then she checked my head and my neck. She could tell how hard I have been working all month to strengthen both sides of my neck! I have spent a lot of time on my tummy or "standing up" with someone's help. It paid off! She said my head looked great and I should keep it up! I don't want a flat head, so I will take her advice.

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to Babies R Us. We used some of my gift cards to buy my new car seat that will take me all the way to 100 pounds. Maybe over the weekend we will go visit the police officer at the station to have her check it and put it in Mommy's truck before I sit in it. It's sort of like a space ship seat! I think I will feel like a king in it! :)

I continue to fall asleep around 8ish at night and wake up around 4:30 or 5:30 in the morning. I took three naps today. Two were 30 minutes on the dot and one was shorter on our way to Babies R Us later in the day. Mommy is such a planner, so she started keeping track of my days again today. Now that I'm almost three months, she wants to see if I start doing things on a schedule (I secretly think she wants me to be like her....always running on a schedule and with a plan!). We'll see if I'm into that or not!

Well, I better put the laptop down and close my eyes again before Daddy comes in to check on the humidifier. Ciao!!

March 1st already!

Wow! March is here! It's bittersweet! I'm glad it's March because hopefully the weather will get better and I can go outside more. I'm sad it's March because mommy's maternity leave is almost over.
Today I spent a lot of time with Daddy. We went to Jewel and everyone fussed over me! I can't help it that I'm cute. :) Mommy had lunch with a friend and she was so happy to see me when she came home. She doesn't understand how everytime that I stay home with Daddy I just sleep! Hey, my Daddy works hard, so I have to give him a break. :)
I had a lot of exercise in my saucer from my friend Abby today. I'm getting really good at keeping my head up and still. I hit the buttons and play the music on the saucer, but I don't really know I'm doing it. I study the frog on the saucer real hard. I just know that I'm going to be able to grab it someday if I keep studying it. :)

Good night everyone! Enjoy my pictures!
