Sad Day for Illinois

Well I witnessed more history yesterday. Mommy and I sat on the couch and watched the Illinois Senate vote to impeach Rod Blagojevich and to make sure he never can run for public office again in the state. Wow. It was such the opposite feeling from last week's excitement of history in the making.

Anyway, last week I found my fist. Mommy thought it was just an accident, but every day now I've been sticking it in my mouth to suck on. I wish my mouth was bigger. I try so hard to get my whole hand in. I turn it every which way, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it all in there! So, I settle for sucking on however much I can manage to get in my mouth. :)

Here's a picture of what I'm doing now. I'm in my king position while I sleep. Sunday my daddy figured out a new trick. This blanket on me is one that my parents got for their wedding from their friend. It puts me in a trance! I am so comfortable in it and I get the best sleep! Last night I slept from 9pm until 4:30 this morning with it right here on the couch. I kicked so much that I almost pushed mommy into the arm of the couch. She says she's use to it from when I was in her belly. :)

I've got more sleeping to do so I can keep growing. Ciao!

Working My Neck Muscles!

Here are a few pictures from my workout yesterday. We're still not feeling all that great, so not too many photo opportunities lately!

Sorry family and friends that I have not blogged for a few days. My Daddy has been sick since Sunday and Mommy started the same sore throat business yesterday. I was pretty congested yesterday evening and early this morning. I am starting to feel better, but my parents wish they could say the same. It seems that lots of people around us aren't feeling so well. I wish this winter weather would go away!

Today my Daddy had to go buy Size 2 diapers because I officially am too big for the 1's. Mommy went through my drawers and started to put away some of the 0-3 clothes and washed the 3-6 clothes. I'm wearing a new onesie that's 3-9 months and a new sleeper that's 3-6 mos. Yesterday I wore my pal AJ's doggie outfit that was 6 mos. I keep growing! I'm glad to be getting big, but Mommy can't believe how fast it's happening!

Well, I've been busy sleeping today trying to stay well and not get Mommy and Daddy's bug. I need to get back to my zzzz's. Have a nice evening everyone. Thanks again to everyone who leaves me comments. I enjoy reading them!

Happy First Birthday to Abby!

What a fun day I had today! I slept most of the morning before it was time to get ready for Abby's birthday party. Mommy and Daddy gave me a bath because I really needed one. After my bath, I had a bottle and fell asleep for a little bit so I would be wide awake at the party. We had pizza and cake and lots of fun! Abby received lots of nice gifts. Our mommies took our pictures before she opened all of her presents. I am glad we were able to celebrate with her!

Fun Friday

Yesterday I went to visit my Mommy's former softball coach here at LU. I was able to meet the whole team at their practice. They were practicing in the fieldhouse and George said we should come and visit. I got to meet Mommy's old teammate/suitemate too, Wendy. I liked hearing the "ping" of the bat while George was hitting ground balls to the infielders during their situational drills. I liked watching the bright lights in there too! It was really comfy in George's arms, but I liked looking at all the girls better than looking at him. He asked me to look at him, but I was happy looking at all the girls' faces. :)

I also went to Daddy's work again. Everyone over in the Union is always happy to see me. Today I was finally awake, so everyone was happy to see my eyes! :)

Here's a picture of me watching Governor Blaogjevich during his press conference before we went to softball practice. I had a huge spit up just before we left, so I ended up in my third outfit of the day. Uncle Mikey gave me this outfit and I wanted to wear it out. Unfortunately, I had a little accident!

Today is my friend Abby's first birthday party! I can't wait to go over to the Union after mass! It's going to be lots of fun!! :)

Finally an Adventure!

Since the weather finally was half way decent today, my Mommy took me out! We had lunch at Great Grandma Schaefer's and dinner at Auntie Tammy's. I met Sr. Bernie at Grandma's house! It was nice to get out of our house for awhile. We even stopped at Mommy's school, but almost everyone was out on the field trip. We did get to spend some good time with Mrs. Case though down in the Media Center! I had a lot of fun on my adventure today. I hope it gets warm again soon!

I Am Strong!

Today my Grandpa AND Grandma came to visit me. They brought a coffee cake for a mid-morning snack and some great oufits for me. They are beginning to spoil me! I like the alligator one best and Mommy likes the dinosaur one. I even helped hold them up for the picture! I stayed awake most of the time they were here today. I showed them how strong I am getting. I was trying to pull away when they were holding me to show them that I don't think I need them to hold my head anymore. We had a great visit! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for visiting! I hope to see you again soon!
