Miss Me?

Sorry I did not write this past week but things have been kind of hectic around here. As you can see, I was just fine on Wednesday night. I had fun playing in the laundry basket with Mama and Dada. I felt like I was in a fort. That night, I even held my bottle all by myself (actually Mama Helped me but as you can see I am clearly doing it alone in the picture.) Mama could not believe how much I am doing!The next morning when Mama came in my room, this is what I looked like! She was really worried about my little eyes so she called Dr Stacey to get an appointment. I had another ear infection and she said that it caused my tear ducts to block again and that is why my eyes look so bad! The good news was that I got to stay home with Dada Thursday and Friday and got to take the yummy pink medicine! Mama left for the weekend trip with Tantie and Aunt Weldon. Dada always takes such good care of me that she never worries! Friday night, I spent the night with Mimi and Grandpa. I enjoyed visiting with Mimi's friends at New Beacon Hospice that day and playing with my new Lion. That night I enjoyed watching my Aunt Maggie (she is a Jack Russell) play in the back yard. They even took me shopping at Mt Laurel and I helped pick out some cute outfits! I have such great style.

Monday, Mama took me to school and they quickly called her and told her that she needed to come get me. Hand, Foot and Mouth was traveling around my class and it looked like I acquired it! She took me to the doctor and sure enough...I was sick again. That day, Mimi stayed at home with me. Tuesday, Pops came up and stayed with me. Wednesday, Mama stayed with me. Thursday, I went to work with Dada and his work friend, Stacey, took care of me. Friday, I was able to go back to school. What a busy week!
When Mama returned from her trip, she decided that it was time for me to try a sippy cup for the first time. Since I can hold my bottle she thought that it would be a good idea to at least try. I feel so independent with my own cup! I am becoming a big girl. I drank apple juice and actually liked it this time.
My favorite thing to do now is read books. I have even found that they serve two purposes...knowledge and teething toy! Mama is so proud of my attention span. I can listen to an entire book and love every minute!
When Mama was on her trip, Dada took me shopping a bought this adorable outfit for me. I wore it especially for him. Gretchen really liked it too and kept kissing my feet all day. I love my sister!
Friday night, Dada went out of town for a guys weekend and Nana and Pops came in town to visit me. Nana was jealous that Pops got to spend all day Tuesday with me so she wanted some time! Mama fixed her favorite meal, Roast, Rice, Gravy, and Lima Beans. It smelled so good but I did not get to have any...too young!
Saturday morning, I had fun peeping around the corner at Mama and Nana while Pops held me. I am so cute! Sunday, Mama put me in another outfit that Dada bought so that I would look cute when he got home from the trip to Mr Bradley's hunting camp. I am obsessed with playing with toys that are not really toys and the air vent. I like to bang my blocks on it. My fun new thing is to point to things. Everyone thinks that my little pointer finger is the cutest thing they have ever seen!
Mama and Dada have to keep a close eye on me because I also am obsessed with the side tables. I want everything on them. If they are not careful, I will turn over drinks, put the camera in my mouth, and pull tissues from the box. I do love the side tables.
