Wednesday.

I went to work with momma today because grandma was sick. My girlfriend, Destiny, came to work with grandma Ruth and I had fun playing toys, strolling in my stroller & watching her make stuff! Isn't our picture so cute! Imagine our prom picture when I get old enough to take her! (Yeah, I know what you're thinking, and don't ruin my dream!) I wish I would have gotten a new picture with grandma Ruth because I only have this one from when I was a "baby".

(Hey grandma, if you read this, I hope you feel better soon because I want to see you and play toys with you! Love you!)

My Tuesday.

After all my usual morning & early afternoon activities, you know...

- chug a bottle

- play toys all crazy then get fussy

-take a nap

- eat food

- play more toys and scream a little

- take a walk with Jukka and momma

- hurry and drink another bottle because momma said we were going swimming!

These photos were right before momma told me that she was going to take me swimming!!

Right before heading in the pool!

Just out of the pool...that was so much fun! (One man even asked if I was in Water Babies because I kicked and moved my arms so well!)

- after swimming we went to the grocery store (where I got to ride in the cart again! Whoo-hoo!)

- momma had to wake me up to feed me dinner

- I played toys some more

- momma changed me into my pjs and fed me my last bottle (or so she thought!)

- I tricked momma, making her think I was tired at 7:30, but I stayed up until 10:30. What was I doing? Oh, just watching momma make bean soup, clean the kitchen, you know...)

Oh yeah, I did practice my rolling and crawling moves. Momma thought I might actually crawl for the first time but I decided not to because she had that darn camera out!

- I finally fell asleep after a little more bottle but I freaked out at 1am and made momma come downstairs. She had to change me and rock me and then she finally said, "you know what, you are going to sleep because I'm tired" and she put me back in my crib, turned on my music and went back upstairs. hmph...its a good thing I was still secretly tired.

Look!

I am big enough to ride in a cart!! Daddy thought for sure I was still too small but momma tried anyway (I think she thinks I'm like 3 already!) and check me out!!! I had way too much fun riding in the cart. We were at Lowes last week getting mulch for momma's flowers beds. I must have spent nearly an hour and a half riding around with momma, just looking at flowers (flowers are one of her favorites now). We aren't sure what daddy was looking at, but we did get in trouble because he couldn't find us and momma didn't hear her cell phone, but that happens every time we all go somewhere...

Daddy's gone...

Daddy left this morning for New Jersy but it's not as sad this time because I won't have to wait as long as usual to see him again. He's done teaching on Friday, so hopefully by Sunday he'll be home!!

After momma was done with work today she took me to the airport in Benton Harbor. They were having the War reinactment with planes, helicopters, tanks, army guys, the whole works. Now, you know I was on a plane in February, but let me tell you what! Those military planes are HUGE! Whoa! Of course, the time I wanted mom to take a picture of me, she couldn't. She had her camera (of course) but forgot to put the memory card back in. So, no pics of me at the airport with the huge planes, sorry.

But here is a pic of me last Sunday at g's (great grandpa) house. It's a little warm over there so I hang out in my diaper! (See the doggie? That's Cookie, g's dog. He likes me a lot, but not other kids. He is always so excited to see me & gives me licks (and he doesn't give licks out often!)

I have to go to bed now. Momma says.

Talk to you later!

More pics

Feeling better after my nap.

Chillin...

Here's me just hanging out with daddy, momma and my brother, Jukka!

I'm sick...

Tuesday night I felt a little funny and sure enough I've got my first cold and it isn't very fun. Runny nose, cough, itchy eyes, sneezes and grumpy-ness...it makes me soooo tired but I don't want to go to sleep. I've been driving mom and dad crazy with my sleepy whines & cries but I just don't want to go to sleep! They keep telling me that I need sleep so I can feel better but...

...today, I felt better after my nap. Good enough to read my Sesame Street magazine!

My drinks!

Forget my bottle, I've moved on to...



Daddy's "Muscle Milk"
and

Beer!

Chillin'...

I'm just hanging out in my froggy robe after my bath. And, as usual, momma had to whip out the camera and go crazy!

I'm a little mover...

I love to freak mom & dad out by moving all over in my crib. They usually put me to sleep with my head at the bottom of the picture and by morning I am in a whole new position. (Actually, I am in a new position every time they check on me, which is quite often...they are silly.) Daddy freaks out when he checks on me and I am all the way sleeping on my stomach because you know, he says its "back to sleep" for babies. But I am not a baby anymore so I don't know what he's so worried about!

Hats, hats, hats!

Which hat is your favorite?
