If You Thought My Laugh Was Funny...Check This Out!

I ate fruit for the first time tonight. I didn't realize how sweet and tart applesauce would be! I made Mommy and Daddy laugh so hard that they got the camera out again to record me. They decided you might get a laugh out of it too.

Who Needs A Stroller?? Not Me!!!

Today, we took an adventure out to North Aurora to Woodman's grocery store to search for some gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free products for Mommy to eat. We found her some goodies!! Thanks, Mrs. Albandia for suggesting this to us! I just didn't feel it was necessary for me to stay in the stroller. I let out some loud talking to let everyone in the store know that. So, Mommy and Daddy took turns carrying me while pushing the cart and stroller! We stopped at the Promenade in Bolingbrook for lunch at the Mongolian BBQ. I did pretty well.I even sat in the booster chair for a good awhile. Here's a picture of me with my Daddy enjoying my lunch. Mommy and Daddy tried to walk around for a bit after lunch, but again, I was not having anything to do with being in that stroller!

Want To Hear Me Laugh?

Sorry we haven't blogged in awhile. We have been busy. I found out that I have allergies to peanuts, pistacios, cashews, soy, wheat, gluten, and cow's milk. Dr. Gaye, my alergist said I can only have Mommy's milk, rice cereal and my fruits and veggies for now. So...that means Mommy has made big changes in her diet! Anything to make me feel better though. Friday night I had a night with Daddy while Mommy went out with her LU alumni friends, yesterday my Grandma spent the day with us and then Grandpa and Uncle Mikey came for dinner when they were finished golfing, and today we went to Logan's second birthday party. I told you we have been busy. Who knows what tomorrow will bring, so we'll post now. Daddy took this funny video of me laughing today. I fell asleep walking home from Logan's party, so my parents let me sleep in the stroller. When I woke up, Mommy picked me up and went to change me. She made a funny sound and I roared with laughter. Daddy got a kick out of it and was able to get me on "film" before Mommy changed me and fed me my peas.

Warm Weather Here To Stay?

What a beautiful day it was yesterday. Grandma took me outside twice! I bounced around on Great Grandma Schaefer's lap for awhile too. She told me that I am so strong...she can't even believe it. I'm still working on the crawling thing. I push backwards like I did in my video and I push up on my toes like I'm in a push up position when I'm on my belly. I know I'll get it if I just keep trying! Mommy made me zucchini over the weekend, and today was my first day of eating it for dinner. It was delicious! She didn't even have to mix in any cereal of milk. I just eat it all up. Great Grandma Chiodo says that I have inherited my Great Grandpa Chiodo's gene of enjoying every kind of food that I am served! Maybe I'm just fooling everyone right now. But, for the time being, Mommy is happy that I am eating my veggies!

I'm Finding a Way to Move!

Today was a busy day! We started out at the graduation mass this morning at Lewis. I learned a new sound and decided that everyone at mass should hear it! Mommy had to walk me the majority of the time. I finally fell asleep right before communion. Then we went for a walk while we waited for Daddy to come home from graduation. After that we hopped in the car and took a ride to Schiller Park. Mommy had to put her sub plans together for tomorrow. I have to go back to the doctor because my face is getting worse. We saw Mrs. Piltaver! She held me for awhile while she talked to Daddy as Mommy typed up her plans and made her copies. Then we stopped to see Uncle Peter at the firehouse. We needed to drop off my cousin Peter's laptop box and the surveys for the SPFD from Mommy's school. Riding in the car is no longer fun for me. I moved into my big boy seat and I'm not liking it. I have to sit up the whole time! Mommy has been sitting in the back seat with me, but I don't know what she will do when she is driving and Daddy's not with us. Just a few minutes ago I busted a new move. Daddy took a video of it. I'm kind of hopping around on my back. It's quite amusing. We will see if we can figure out how to upload it on here for you to see!

Such a Trooper

Sigh, today was not fun. I am just glad that I won't remember much of any of it. I went to see the allergist this morning. After being patient while they asked Mommy a million questions, the medical student and the doctor checked me out. They prescribed me one medicine and said they needed to do blood work to see what type of food, if any, that my body is not liking right now. The nurse came in to take my blood, but she couldn't find my vein. We had to go around the corner to where the lab is located, and it took two nurses and Mommy to hold me down to get the blood. I was crying, Mommmy was crying...it was overall very draining. I charmed every nurse, medical student, and doctor that came my way today.

Then we went to the police station to install my new car seat. I'm officially 19 lbs. 7 ounces and 26.5 inches long. I am ready for the new seat! Officer Kelly was happy to meet me and train Daddy and Mommy on some safety tips and how to work the new seat. I charmed all of the police officers!

For the rest of the afternoon/evening, I played with Mommy and took a snooze. It won't be long now until she is home with me all of the time. Life will go back to being the way it was when I was born. Don't worry, Grandma. We will come visit often!

Mommy made me green beans this morning before we went to the doctor, so I was able to eat those for dinner tonight. They weren't bad when they were mixed with some grains and milk. I wasn't that excited about them plain. I guess that's better than Mommy. She told me green beans was the one veggie that she did not like when she was little!

Tomorrow we will do everything that was on our list of things to do today that did not get done since we spent three hours at the doctor! Have a nice weekend everyone!
