Grrrr…another Monday. I am starting to get angry about Monday’s. Mommy got me up and dressed and changed this morning and then fed me. Daddy helped some too, and then I was off to Grandma CC’s.

We played together and then it was off to the office and then I played some more. I don’t like to sleep when I am at the office…or for that matter when I hang out with Grandma CC. Mommy says it is because Grandma CC can be so loud when she is talking and working. I think that might be a little part of it, but I think the rest is that there is always so much going on that I don’t want to miss anything!

I like playing at the office with all the girls…it is lots of fun. I get held, played with, talked to, have lots of different toys, and even get to go for walks in my stroller! Wow how cool is that!

Anyways, I didn’t want to sleep at all..until Ashley took me for a walk, and that did the trick. I was out like a light (whatever that saying means)

Mommy came to get me and I was sound asleep!

The rest of the night it was just the five of us (Mommy, Daddy, me, Panda Cat, and Gizmo Cat) at home hanging out. It may sound boring, but it really is lots of fun. I get to play on the floor and roll over lots, and get all my favorite toys (like my frog) and then my parents talk to me and hold me and well just play with me.

Off to bed…I am tired from playing so much!

Sunday Sunday Sunday…I like Sunday’s….well sort of. I get to spend all day with my Mommy (and Daddy too) and it is the second day in a row that I get to do that! (Don’t forget about Saturday’s too)

Mommy made the whole house smell good with somethings she made in the oven. She made a birthday cake for Grandma CC and birthday brownies too! I even helped her frost them…well I stuck my hand into the frosting, that counts has helping right?

Grandma CC came over for dinner, and she and I played together. She makes me laugh and is lots of fun. She loved her brownies and the cake but I think her favorite was the captain crunch chicken. She kept eating that, licking her fingers, and saying how good this is over and over and over again.

Well I have to go to bed now and adjust to the idea that tomorrow is Monday and I have to let my Mommy got to work and spend some time apart from me 🙁 ….but I do get to spend the day with Grandma CC 🙂

Happy Birthday Grandma CC! How exciting…for me…another grandparent’s birthday! Grandpa Bill’s was in February and now Grandma CC’s is in April! Right now, she is out of town….but Mommy said that she will be here tomorrow night for dinner.. Grandma’s favorite Captain Crunch Chicken Fingers! That sounds yummy…I know I will have to wait a few days…but that’s ok!

Today was a lazy Saturday. Mommy, Daddy and I just hung out. We did go to the grocery store to get everything we need for tomorrow’s dinner. I like shopping. I get to see lots of bright lights and lots of people…they tell me how cute I am (I don’t ever tire of hearing that!)

Daddy went to the new house to get the grass cut…but there was a small problem. There was no lawnmower! Mommy and I went to help Daddy load the riding mower from Grandma CC’s house (but it was not strong enough to cut my new HUGE lawn) So Daddy came back home and started researching new riding lawmowers for us. Those look like tons of fun…but Mommy says I can’t play with them for a long time.

Well I am just going to lay around and be lazy…I am learning from Gizmo Cat! Ha! Ha!

I spent the whole morning (and part of the afternoon) at Grandma CC’s house. It was just me, Grandma, and of course Rugby & Natasha. Mommy came to pick me up around 2ish (she left work a little earlier…she usually doesn’t get me until after 3) I am so smart being able to tell time!

I was pretty cranky all day. I am teething, so I just wasn’t happy. All I wanted was to be held and rocked and talked to and have baby Orajal used on my sore gums an some Tylenol too…I don’t think I am asking for too much.

In the evening, after Daddy got home from PT (for those of you not a consultant to a doctor’s office…that means physical therapy) Mommy and Daddy packed me up and we all went out for a long car ride. It turns out we were to my Auntie Buki’s and Uncle Jeff’s house. That was fun (even though I was still cranky and well miserable) Mommy and Daddy left me (to watch my Aunt and Uncle) because Daddy had a doctor’s appointment that night. By the way, who of you have heard of a doctor’s appointment at 8:30 at night? Neither had the doctor…who wasn’t there! So my parents were back to see me much sooner than everyone thought. I wanted part of the Brewer game with my Uncle Jeff (even though Mommy says my team is the Cubbies) and Uncle Jeff gave me a baseball glove (that is cool) I can’ wait to play with it. He also had just come back from New York and went to M & M World…so I get to be an Orange M & M! How sweet is that! I played on the floor with my Auntie (and Uncle) and I showed them how good I can roll over!

After we left their house, Mommy and Daddy picked up diner from Copp’s and we all went over to Erin’s house! I played with Erin and Mama Jo for a while, and then it was home to bed!

I need to go to bed earlier…or maybe just take more naps! I will have to talk with Gizmo to find out what his secret is!

I have had some late nights this week. I know i have been asleep through a lot of them, but just not in my room until later. Tonight I was in my crib early and that was comfy. But before I went to bed, let me tell you a bit about my day.

Mommy took me to Grandma CC’s in the morning, and she took me to work in the afternoon. Daddy come and got me later, and then Mommy came home from work and played with me. That is really all I did. It was fairly routine. Nothing too exciting…but I still had fun with the office crew, and Mommy and Daddy, and of course Grandma CC. Ohh wait, I almost forogt. My Grandma and Grandpa Thomas stopped by to visit me. Grandpa Bill had to get his dressing changed (from his wrist surgery) by Grandma CC and then they came to the house to see me. That was fun.

As you know, I went to bed early, so I am asleep now. Talk to everyone later

Wednesday…this means that I was with Daddy ALL day! When Mommy left for work, I was still sleeping…well sort of. I had Daddy take me in to the bathroom where Mommy was taking a shower so that I could say hi! Then I made him feed me. After I ate, Daddy and I went back to bed! That was fun! The rest of the day (until Mommy came back home) was just the two of us…ok four of us when you include Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat (although I still don’t see much of him…I wonder why?)

So Mommy came home (later than usual…she had a meeting after school) and we played for a little while waiting for Grandma CC to come and pick us up for the Parade meeting. We had diner at Big Star and then we were off to the meeting. I went all dressed up in red, white, and blue…but not for the reasons you may think. I wasn’t being patriotic…I was being a little Cubbie Bear Fan! Ha Ha Ha!

I fell asleep in the meeting, and the Grandma CC and Daddy wanted to see what was going on at my new house. I slept through that great adventure, and then it was home for me. I got changed into my pj’s, ate a little more, and then off to sleep for me!

Well I suppose it is official now, I sleep in my new bedroom and crib and I like it lots (most of the time) Sometimes I want to be with Mommy and Daddy (I suppose) but all I have to do is make noises and the come running….Mommy faster than Daddy (unless Mommy makes Daddy come instead)

Today I slept so late, that Daddy had tot take me to Grandma CC’s. Mommy picked me up from the “new” office instead of Daddy. Daddy was at work where people are moving stuff and he had to make sure that everything still worked ok. They are building a new office just for my Daddy! I can’t wait to see that!

It seems that Mommy and I were only home for a few moments, before we were back at the office. Uncle Jimmy and Daddy were moving computers and setting them up for Grandma CC. So I got to play with Mommy, Grandma CC, and then Brenna showed back up (and she had Emma with her too). I was out “working” until after 10pm…I think I should file for overtime! Of course I fell asleep at 8:30…but I don’t think that should matter!

It was an event filled day again, and I am very very tired

When I woke up this morning, Daddy was gone again! What happened? Mommy was rushing like a maniac to get everything together and we didn’t end up at Grandma CC’s house until after 7. Mommy quickly ran out the door after leaving me with Grandma and was off to work . I found out later that Daddy had to leave real early in the moring to drive Grandpa Bill to surgery. Uncle Don Human and Grandma Niki went along too.

Mommy picked me up from Grandma’s office, and we went home. A little while after we got home, Daddy came back with Uncle Don and Grandma and Grandpa Thomas. I hung out with them for a bit, showed them all how good I can roll over, and then they had to go home. Grandpa Bill had to rest.

The rest of the evening, I just played with Mommy, Daddy and Panda Cat…Gizmo Cat still hides and runs away from me lots.

Later everyone

So I made it…sort of. Mommy and Daddy kept checking on me in my crib in my room all night long. They also kept rolling me back over onto my back..I am really living up to my nickname squirmy again! Around 2 am, Daddy rolled me over, and I woke up and was scared. Mommy fed me, and I went back to sleep and didn’t wake up again until 8:30! I decided to let my parents sleep in since I had them up so much! Isn’t hat nice of me?

The rest of the day, Mommy, Daddy, and I just hung out and had fun together. It was nice and I had tons of fun (as usual!)

So for the first monring in a long time I woke up to both of my parents. however, when Mommy got me out of bed, she found me on my tummy (I had rolled over!) and she wasn’t too happy about it. She said “that’s it Alex…you will be sleeping in your crib from now on”. Actually, she told my Daddy that the morning before on the phone that it might be time for me to sleep in my crib (in my own bedroom) and Daddy was concerned. He wanted to know what happened to Mommy! You see in Mommy’s great big plan, I wasn’t going to move into my own room until she was on summer break…well I guess I have changed the plan!

Daddy went to the new house to do some work, and Mommy and I played together. We check on Grnny Gayle to see how she was doing, and brought lunch out ot the office. We also went shpping at Target for more of the bigger nipples for me! The office is being moved. I am getting more room and space to play. This she should be interesting!

Well I am going to go sleep in my own room…wish me luck
