Hello everybody. I hope everyone is well. I am doing good, just so you know. Today was the day we celebrated my Grandpa Bill’s birthday. My Mommy and Daddy and I went to this place called Lake Geneva where I met up with my Gramps Bill and Grandma Nikki, Uncle Don Human, Auntie Buki, Uncle Jeff, the Other Melissa and Olivia. I once again had a blast torturing my dad. First when it was time to order food, I made him take to the bathroom to get changed, then right before the food came out, I got really upset and wanted to eat. But the best part was that I somehow talked to the folks in the kitchen and had them forget my dad’s food!!! Needless to say, dad got his food, but he had to wait till I was done eating before he could eat; I know he was hungry, so that was the best!!!

After dinner, we went and got some Ice Cream at a place called Cold Stone. Once again daddy got yelled at for playing around, but this time, I think mommy was wrong to do it. You see, daddy was holding me and feeding me so he could get his own Ice Cream. Well mommy had some and she was nice enough to share with the fat guy. Well daddy thought that I might like some so he gave me a little bit to lick off of my lips. For once Daddy was right, I liked it. However, mommy yelled at dad and that was the end of my Ice Cream. (Mommy freaks out on some things)

Well time to dream of a big Ice Cream cone.

So today was another day of firsts for me. Well I think it was more of a first for my Mommy (and of course Daddy) but since this is my blog, it can be my first!

In the morning, my Mommy decided that I was sick, so she made me go see Dr. Amy. Mommy thought I had a cold. Daddy met us there, and all I had was some nasal congestion. My Mommy was just being a worrywort. But that’s ok, I don’t mind.

In the afternoon, Mommy (and Daddy’s) friend Erin came to visit. Erin is now my new friend too. She played with me for a long time. She fed me, held me, changed me, talked to me, and of course fed, held and changed me some more!  The four of us went to dinner, and then Mommy and Daddy went off together alone without me to a movie. I stayed at home with my new friend Erin to hang out with. I had fun. Daddy and Mommy liked the movie, but I think I had more fun that Daddy. Daddy said that Mommy spent time wondering how I was. I guess it didn’t help that the name of the main character in the movie was Alex! See how that works? I can’t let my Mommy go anywhere without thinking of me…or me of her.

I am off to do things…ok I am just going to go to bed, but still that is something,

Alex

Hello all. Today I spent the day with Mommy, and we had fun again. I like spending time with her. She is nice to me. She feeds me, holds me,  plays with me, rocks me, changes me, talks to me, sings to me, reads to me, and the list of things she does for me could go on and on, but I will stop now so that I can tell you what else I did today.

In the evening, I went to dinner with Mommy , Daddy, and Uncle Jimmy. We had a good time, and then Uncle Jimmy decided to spend more time with me and my parents, so he went to Target with us where my parents went shopping for more things for me. I like shopping with my parents. I get to hang out in my stroller and look at all the bright lights and hear lots of people say how cute I am or how little I am. It is fun.

Well, I am off to bed now, chat more later

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. I don’t know what this is all about, but I got cards in the mail (my first mail addressed to me) and also Mommy got email cards. They make me smile. Mommy says when I get older, I get candy for the day – or cupcakes (something like that) and in school they have parties. That sounds fun…but that is still a long way off.

I have found a new friend here in my house. I call them the talking bears. They are suspeneded in air, and when my Mommy or Daddy do something to them, they go around in a circle and talk to me. I get upset when they stop talking to me, so I try talking back to them to make them talk. When that doesn’t work, I scream for my Mommy and or Daddy and they make them talk to me again. My Mommy says that this is called a mobile and it plays a song and it is supposed to make me fall asleep. I would much rather watch them and listen to them then fall asleep!

When Daddy came home from work, he gave Mommy the card I picked out. It is a pop up Panda and made my Mommy smile. Mommy says I am such a smart little guy to pick out a card for a girl on Valentine’s Day!

That’s all for now, I will share more of my daily life later,

So I know it has been a few days since I have posted, but I have been playing with my Mommy (and Daddy) and keeping them way to busy. But here I am now, and I will let you all know what’s been going on with me. My Grandma CC and Granny Gayle are still in the land of fun and sun (also known as Hawaii). Grandma CC calls everyday and my Mommy talks to her for me.

Today I didn’t do much. Tuesdays are kinda boring. I stayed home all day and played with Mommy while Daddy was at work. Gizmo Cat is taking more of an interest in me. When I was sitting with Mommy in the big green squishy chair, he jumped up into Mommy’s lap and said hello to me. While he was on Mommy’s lap (and I was in her arms) the chair began to vibrate…that was cool. I like the vibrating swing that my Grandma has at her office. I think I will talk to my parents (especially my cheap Daddy) about investing in a vibrating chair or something for me.

I almost forgot about my new “trick”. Mommy put me down in the pack-n-play downstairs, (I was flat on my back) and when my Daddy went to get me out to take me upstairs to bed…guess what I had done? I had rolled over onto my side! How exciting for me…I am finding out that I can do new and exciting things with my body, my hands, legs, etc. This is pretty cool!

Well I am off

Hey there. It’s me Alex again. Monday is here, and once again Daddy has left me to go to work. That’s fine with me though, I mean I love him and all, but he needs to make money for me. Plus I get the added bonus of having my Mommy all to myself.

Today I played with my Mommy for a long time. I am finding it lots of fun to stay awake for longer and longer time periods. In the afternoon, Mommy’s work friend, Ryan came over to say hi and to give a binder to Mommy. He told me I was cute…I still don’t tire of hearing that!

In the evening, after Daddy came home from work, Mommy and Daddy took me to a place called “the mall”. It was loud and filled with people and lots of lights. I liked the lights. I had fun hanging out with Daddy while Mommy tried on some clothes. She needed some dress work pants. I think that means Mommy is going to go back to work…I don’t think I like the sound of that. I will have to speak to my Mommy about that. She didn’t clear that idea with me.

On the fun side, when Mommy went to get the food at Kopps, I decided to make my Daddy change me. Now that doesn’t sound too bad right? Well I was in the car and made Daddy change me in the backseat. Now that was fun. I totally love tormenting him in new and exciting ways! Who knew it would be this much fun?

Well I am a little guy and little guys need sleep, so I am done for now. Share more thoughts later,

P.S. Don’t forget…anyone who reads my site can send me a message. I love hearing from my readers!

Hello again. Today is Sunday, and I have both my parents all to myself. Well I guess I have to share with Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat, but I don’t mind too much. I mean they were here first! By the way, Gizmo Cat sleeps more than I do…wow that is a lot of sleeping for one kittie cat.

All I did today was eat, sleep, poop, and make my parents play with me. Oh I did do something new. Mommy put in the Baby Einstein Bach DVD and I kinda watched it. I think Mommy enjoyed it more that I did, but I still had fun with her.

Not much exciting today going on in the world of Alex, but that’s ok, everyday can’t be filled with excitement – that would get boring!

I almost forgot, Grandma CC called from Hawaii. She said that she and Granny Gayle were having a great time, and that the weather is beautiful. It is still cold here…thanks for reminding me!

Gotta go play with my parents now,

Alex

So today I stayed at home all day and played with my parents. I got up around 5:30 am and had Mommy feed me. Then I decided that I wanted to be awake and played with, so I wouldn’t let my Mommy or Daddy go back to sleep.

Today Grandpa and Grandma Thomas come over for a short visit. That was nice to see them again. My Mommy talked to Grandma Thomas and she is going to make me t-shirts with hoods on them. My hats keep falling off (or maybe I take them off) and my head gets cold and I don’t like that. So Mommy came up with a potential solution. MY Mommy sure is smart…I am going to have to watch out for that in the future…not sure if I can trick her up when I get older.

Still cold here in Wisconsin. Mommy got a call from Grandma CC and she landed safely in Hawaii. I hope they have fun in the sun, but I will miss seeing Grandma CC. I see her almost everyday and we have tons of fun together. Mommy says that we’ll be able to make it up after she comes back, because Mommy will be back to work, and I get to play  with Grandma CC during the daytime. I guess I will get to be a “consultant” for the office again. Yeah!

Off to bed for me (and my parents…maybe)

Alex

Hello all. Life is still cold here in Wisconsin. That’s why my Grandma CC and Granny Gayle were leaving to go to Hawaii. Mommy is jealous. I guess the sun is warm there, and people can spend lots of time outside…but not have to wear alot of clothes!

Mommy and I finally had lunch with Granny Gayle (and Grandma CC) at the Olive Garden. Mommy really likes their salad dressing. Something about a family vinegar deficiency? Maybe when I am older, I will understand that issue.

Later in the evening, I was hanging out at Grandma CC’s house while they were finishing up their packing. I guess they wanted to pack me up too…but Mommy said no. Daddy says that Mommy can be a “fun sponge”. However, I would have missed Mommy and Daddy and Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat too much if I went away with Grandma CC and Granny Gayle.

Well, I am still a little guy and need to sleep (so I can grow…just not too fast says Mommy)

Alex

Hello again,

This evening, I went out to diner with my Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma but I also met some new people. One of my Mommy’s grandma’s oldest friends (that would be my Great-Grandma Evelyn) Ceil and her daughter Kathy came with us to dinner. My Mommy got me all dressed up in an outfit. I had pants on and eveything…and my outfit didn’t have hands or feet covers! Mommy did put socks on me, and there was a silly hat that matched the outfit that she made me wear. Mommy said that she dressed my up, because when her grandma would go out, she would always look her best. So Mommy thought that it was a nice gestrue to do the same to me! I had fun meeting Ceil and Kathy and hearing stories about my Grandma CC and my Great-Grandparents from years ago. Maybe my Mommy or Grandma can tell me them again when I am older so I can remember them!

Other than dinner, I just hung out and played with my Mommy all day. I sure am going to miss this when she has to go back to work…maybe I can go to work with her? I know my Mommy is a great teacher, but many people that don’t understand teaching say “all you do is babysit”. If that is true, then why not go with Mommy? Maybe I could supervise?

There was also a posting on my site from a college girl. My Mommy says that she used to babysit her and her little sister years ago. I am excited to meet Elise. I met Meg and had my picture taken with her at the party that we had for my Autie Heather. Hi Elsie in college..learn lots and then come and visit with me! Bring Meg too…she was nice.

I will write more later…until then
