Me and Daddy...

On Sunday, February 17th, mom came downstairs around 6am and found daddy and me sacked out on the couch. Daddy had night duty with me and was just so tired...you know he's not a morning person...I'm surprised he got my bottle in my mouth! I can sure wrap daddy around my finger though because he doesn't usually put me back in my crib after I eat during the night. He says he's afraid because I didn't burp and he doesn't want anything to happen to me but I know it's really because I'm just so darn cute and cuddly that he can't resist holding me...and just look, it gave momma another picture to put in my scrapbook!

California here I come!


Wow! Airplanes are cool!

Did you know that I was just in California? Yep, that's right! I went with mom and grandma to Anaheim, CA for their big craft (CHA) convention. I did so much it would take me forever to tell you so I will tell you all the major highlights of my trip...
  • I went on an airplane for the first time! (The engines wouldn't start but that didn't scare me! It scared mommy though!)
  • Our connecting flight was delayed so I got to chill out in the O'Hare airport. (I would have rather been in California!)
  • I rode on a bus for the first time!
  • I felt warm weather for the first time! (It was so awesome, I could wear shorts!)
  • I stayed in a hotel for the first time! (We stayed at Disney's Grand Californian...pretty classy for my first one!)
  • I slept in my stroller at bedtime. (Yeah, I was a little cramped but I slept good! I'm glad I didn't have to sleep in the yucky "pack-n-play" that was in our room!)
  • Our hotel was right next to DisneyWorld! (We didn't go to Disney but we walked around Downtown Disney every day and night and ate at some really fun restaurants...some even tried to give me a kids menu! What do I look like, 3 years old or something? And momma was lovin' the Jamba Juice place that was there!)
  • We ate breakfast at Storytellers which was one of our hotels restaurants and there were characters there...I got to meet brother bear! (All of the rest I slept through!)
  • Oh gosh, what else did we do. Oh yeah, momma and grandma each took me to the pool and I got to dunk my feet in the water...I wanted to go swimming but it didn't work out. It looks so fun, I hope momma will take me swimming soon!

We left Saturday, February 9th and flew back home (a really turbulent flight which freaked momma out but I slept like a baby!) on Valentine's day. I had so much fun and momman and grandma are telling everyone that I was a good boy...what can I say, I love to travel! I wonder where we will go next?!!!!

(Momma told me that I should make sure and tell everyone that grandma and her did really work out in CA, but someone had to stay and occupy me because strollers were not allowed in the convention area. Mommy didn't know that was a rule because she's almost been run over by those motorized scooters and segway things. Oh well, maybe next time!)

Hello!






Hi everyone!

So, here is what is happening...

  • Daddy left for Texas on Saturday morning and then Nanna came over Saturday afternoon and we talked and played toys
  • Sunday I went to great grandpas house for dinner
  • Monday mom and I went and got my birth certificate and we ran into my friends Becky and Destiny. We also went to Walmart...I was good even though we had to wait forever to check out!
  • Tuesday mom did a lot of laundry while my brother Jukka and I chilled out. Then later Tuesday I went to grandmas house to spend the night. Grandma said that mommy needed to do some stuff and get a good nights sleep so she could work all day Wednesday (I wonder if that happened!)
  • Wednesday grandma and I played toys and read books until mom picked me up.

    And now it's Wednesday night, about 9:30 and I am laying on the couch next to mommy and Jukka (I mean I am typing this message for my blog!) I just took a 20 min recharge and I'm not sleepy anymore...maybe mom will feed me some of that nice warm milk and I'll get tired and sleep all night...that is mommy's dream, you know!

almost 7 hours!


Me and my crazy, fuzzy, purple monster friend!

Yep, that's how long I slept last night! I had a bottle at 11pm, went right to sleep and mommy didn't get me out of my crib until 6:30 this morning! I did trick her at about 4:30...I started grunting and fussing. I heard mommy get a bottle ready for me but I guess I was still tired because the next thing I knew the clock in my bedroom said 6:30am. Of course mommy didn't get 7 hours of straight sleep...I heard her watching SNL, then my brother Morton cried to go outside, then a half hour later he wanted to come in, then I heard mommy letting my other brother Jukka outside, then she got up when she heard me fussing at 4:30...I am sorry that mommy didn't sleep as well as me, but I sure felt good this morning!
