What A Fabulous Week!

Another week down! We had a fun weekend. Mom and Dad went to the Cubs game yesterday for a Wrigley Rooftop fundraiser for St. Constance School. I was able to stay with Grandma and Grandpa. Yay!

Saturday we watched the Blackhawks and the Fighting Irish. I Skyped with Uncle Mikey while we watched football. HA! That was a lot of fun. I also did some talking on the phone with Gram. I'm a techy kid, what can I say!

Another Bear Win

What a week! We were real low key this weekend after a very eventful week. I spent some time at Grandma's and some time with some friends while Mommy worked in Schiller Park. I really enjoyed being home with her on Friday. It was just the way it should be. I can't wait for her to return full time, and I think she can't either. :)

We watched the Bears game today and read my books. I fell asleep playing one of my ABC games on my Itouch. Fun day!

Hoping for a Colts win tonight!

Our Weekly Update

At this point, life is crazy. We are busier than ever! Our goal is going to be to update the blog once a week until my birthday. Then, we hope to update even more often again.

This week, I had a lot of fun although it was very unstable. Somedays I was at Ms. Karlie's house with Ms. Melanie, baby Max, and my pal Gabe. Some days I was at Grandma's and some days I was with Mommy. This makes me pretty upset. I don't know where I am going to be when. I know it will be back to normal someday soon.

I learned new words again this week. I can count to ten and recognize those numbers too. I'm getting there! I said "la dree" today when I helped mom load the washer. I can say "muscle", "circle", and surprise surprise... "cookie". I'm thankful to Enjoy Life Foods for making allergy free chocolate chip cookies. They are soft and delicious. My favorites.

A Beautiful Fall Day

My Daddy has really done well with his healthy living journey. He has lost so much weight that we needed to get him a new tux for the big event downtown for Lewis next weekend. We took advantage of the nice weather and went to Oakbrook for some shopping yesterday.

We bought Daddy a tux and some of Mommy and Daddy's favorite salsa from Harry and David's (habanero). We walked around and I really enjoyed the water fountains all over.

Today I am 21 momths old. Where has the time gone? Two years ago, Mommy and Daddy walked Oakbrook Mall awaiting my arrival. :)

A Crisp Fall Day and a ND Win

We did some shopping today and watched the Notre Dame game. Hooray for a win over the Boilermakers! Sorry, little Peter...but hooray Mark!! I listened to Daddy's Ipod for a few minutes during halftime.

Did I tell you I'm getting really good at my mealtime prayer and the sign of the cross? I sign father, son and holy really well. I also fold my hands properly. I say "Amen" loud and clear each time someone comes to the table with food and during all the right times during our prayer.

Mom did laundry and shifted my clothes today. We packed up AJ's last set of clothes, and moved in the fall/winter clothes. The crispness in the air made Mommy think it was time. Our Pumpkin Pie candle is burning brightly and college football on tv...Fall is most definately in the air.

I am working on singing the Chicago Bears fight song with my Mom. I can sing "Bears", "down", and "crown". Those of you who also know the song can probably hear me singing those words in your head. Mom videoed it, but I don't want her to share it with you until I get more of the words down.

I'm really concerned about having "more ice in there" right now, which in your language, translates to "I really want some more ice in my cup". I have to get going.

Spoiled at Grandma and Grandpa's

I really love my Grandma and Grandpa. I enjoy having sleepovers at their house. Today when Mommy and Daddy came, we had lunch, played, took a walk, and then headed home. I was not a happy camper about leaving Grandma and Grandpa's house. I was so incredibly tired though that I fell asleep before we even hit Austin Ave. Mommy and Daddy took the long way home as the expressways were a mad house in the city at 3pm. I got a nice long nap in before arriving at home. Mommy gave me a bath to calm me down as my skin was a mess. I had a turkey burger and avocado for dinner and felt a bit better. I played with Mommy and Daddy and read some books with Mommy. Daddy helped me drink out of a big cup without a straw. I'm growing fast and there's no stopping me!

September 1st!

Mommy likes that song September from Earth, Wind, and Fire. We heard it today at Grandma and Grandpa's house while we were watching the Cubbies. We aren't that excited about the arrival of September. Fall brings many changes to our home. Mommy is going to be filling in for Ms. Kopta as Principal of Washington School in Schiller Park for the semester 3 days a week. She's also working at St. Constance School (from home) as the marketing coordinator as well as conducting some professional development for them in educational technology. Plus, she's running her fitness/nutrition business from home while I run around and play with her. I am going to be missing her and I know she's going to be missing me even more. Somehow, someway we will make it through the semester. Then after my birthday and Jesus' birthday I'll have her back with me full time again! YAY!! Mom says YAY!! too. :)
