Mommy took me to Gandma CC house today and Grandma had to take care of me since Auntie Sparky was busy all day. There are some days where I miss my Grandma taking care of me and especially the office. Well after mom got done with work, she picked me up from the office and we went home to wait for Erin Jones to visit.

Daddy came home at the usual time and then he was a bad host and decided to cut the grass and not play with Erin. He can be such a meanie. Well as soon as dad got done with his work, we all went to Chili’s for dinner. We met auntie Sparky there and daddy was being a silly pig. He had 7 glasses of Diet Coke, if he keeps that up he is going to get really fat, ok fatter than he already is. Erin had to go home after dinner and I had to go to bed. So that is where I am heading.

I spent all day with my Auntie Shyster again. I got to have lunch with Mommy and all her co-workers and Auntie Shyster. That was fun. We all went to Infusion’s. Then my Auntie and I went to Racine, she had to go shopping for a few things, and by the time we got back to K-town, Mommy was back home waiting for me! Yeah!

Daddy came home from work and PT with stuff to make tacos. He cooked diner, and Mommy and Daddy ate diner while I played on the floor. I like to roll over lots now, and I am am good at it too. I am trying real hard to move, but I don’t seem to get too far…it will happen soon I hope! I want to see what is going on and be a part of it too!

Night Night All

So I am officially confused. I know it is Wednesday, but I don’t know why I am Grandma CC’s and not at home with my Daddy? And I wasn’t the only one confused. When Mommy and I got to Grandma CC’s, everyone was still asleep…even thought Mommy had talked with Auntie Shyster just last night. So Mommy and I went into Grandma CC’s bedroom to wake her up! Boy was she surprised. It was funny! She got right up to play with me and that was nice. When Grandma CC left to go to work, I had my Auntie Shyster to play with. Mommy had a teacher workday, so she was able to get home to me right away after school was done. We played together for a while and waited for Daddy to come home. Auntie Shyster stayed with us too, and the three of us had fun together.

Daddy came home, and then we all went the parade meeting, Mommy, Daddy, Grandma CC, Auntie Shyster, and me! I went it a Cubs outfit again, but I didn’t play Thunder Pants 🙁 I did met a friend, Zack, but he was much bigger than me. Something to look forward to! (Mommy says I have lots of time to grow up)

After the parade meeting, Mommy, Daddy, Auntie Shyster, and i went shopping for new sheets. Mommy and Daddy got new sheets for their bed (I didn’t get any new sheets for my bed) and Auntie Shyster got sheets and she found some sheets for Grandma CC too.

I fell asleep in the way home, and that was it for me, I was out for the count!

I spent the morning (and afternoon) at Grandma CC’s but this time with Auntie Shyster. We had fun, playing on the floor (lots of tummy time) and hanging out with the bark barks. Although there is now a new bark bark. This one is named Sassy and she is brown but has a big nose and her tale never stops moving. She likes to lick and is friendly, but can be scary too..,especially when people are outside walking by the house. I wonder why she is that way? The other bark barks (Rugby and Natasha) just make lots of noise and are HUGE, VERY WHITE, AND VERY VERY VERY FLUFFY!

Auntie Shyster brought me back home to my Mommy, and the two of them gave me a bath. That was nice. Daddy came home late again, and I didn’t get to spend too much time with him, before I went to bed. I will have to torture him more tomorrow…that will be Wednesday!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR…do you know what today is? That’s right…ANOTHER MONDAY! When are they going to end? However, this Monday was different. Mommy took me over to Grandma CC’s, but I spent the day with both Grandma CC and Auntie Shyster. I had lots of fun with both of them, and then my Mommy picked me up when she was done with work.

Mommy, Auntie Shyster, Grandma CC and I went to the new house to see daddy play Hank Hill (what ever that means). It was kinda funny, they left daddy to play and we went to Red Robin for dinner. As soon as the food was ready, daddy came walking in. Man that man can smell food from miles away and it is a ggod think my mommy knows him so well. They ate and the we went home and I had cereal and milk from the source. After my diner I played some more and then it was off to bed.

Happy Mommy’s Day Mommy. I was so excited to give Mommy her present. Guess what I got her? A special picture frame that shows lots of pictures of me and plays music too. Daddy said that is is called a digital picture frame and can hold over 100 photos. That is a lot of Alex pictures. Mommy was very happy and excited about her picture frame. I was happy and excited that Mommy was happy and excited.

I got dressed up in nice clothes so that I would look good when I took Mommy out to brunch. (I had to take Daddy too, so I made him drive) First we went to Racine to get a plant for Grandma CC and a gift card for Grandma Niki (I don’t know why my Grandma’s are getting gifts on my Mommy’s day, but I guess technically they are Mommy’s…just not mine) Then we were off to brunch, where we had a great time.

After brunch, we went back home and waited to hear from Grandma CC and Auntie Shyster. The finally called, and Daddy, Mommy, and I all went over to Grandma CC’s to see them. They brought Gino’s East pizza and we had fun. Auntie Shyster wanted to hold me lots, but Grandma CC wanted to hold me too. They were kinda fighting over me, which I didn’t like too much…there is plenty of me to go around!!!

What an exciting week for me, ending with a special day for my Mommy

So Grandma CC left to go to Oklahoma City to meet up with my Auntie Shyster. I am excited to see her soon. In the morning, it was just the three of us (ok five of us) at home…Me, Mommy, Daddy, Panda Cat, and Gizmo Cat just hanging out. In the afternoon, the three of us went to Mona’s house so she and Daddy could work the parade’s website. While we were hanging out there, Mona gave my Mommy the surprise that Grandam CC and I got her…it was professional pictures of me! One said Happy Mothers Day across the top and it was me in my Cubs outfit (with the hat) an the other one was a surprise too. Remember when it was Mommy and Daddy’s anniversary, and they brought me back my Teddy Bear (Dr. Alex Bear)? Well they took of his outfit and put it on me! Boy am i cute! I guess Grandma CC thinks I am medical school material! We’ll see. Mommy was so touched by the pictures, that she and Daddy and I went to the store to get frames for the big ones (we got three frames, one for Mommy, one for Grandma CC, and one for Grandma Niki)

I sure do like seeing myself in pictures too! Maybe I can somehow put those photos on my website too!

Since it was cooler out this morning, Mommy dressed me up in my Cubs spring training outfit (you can see those cute pictures if my lazy Daddy updates my pictures) I even have a matching Cubs baseball cap. That is the coolest part. I like it lots because then the sun can’t get in my eyes. I am excited for a couple of reasons today. First off, Mommy only has to work a 1/2 day! Yeah! Secondly, my Auntie Shyster is coming soon and I get to spend time with her. I have only seen here in very limited amounts, but I hear she is lots of fun and she calls me and talks to me often…ok she really calls to talk to my Mommy…but I understand.

Mommy got done with work, and was on her way to meet me at Grandma CC’s, when she got a message on her phone. Grandma took me with her to do something special for Mommy for her special day. Grandma CC and I met Mommy at my house, and we were off to go to lunch. We went to Andrea’s (Great-Grandma Evelyn’s favorite place) and I was a hit. Everyone loved me. They all said how cute I was, and I obliged them all with smiles! I am so cute.

It was Mommy and me the rest of the afternoon. Mommy, Grandma CC, and I all went shopping at Target and got lots of stuff for me…diapers, wipes, a new Baby Einstein toy for me to play on…you know the usual, and we met Daddy at teh new house. Then the four of us all went out to diner and we ran into Mona…that was fun.

It was time for bed after that, so I went home and went to sleep.

So today was an extra long day for my Mommy. She had to go to parent teacher conferences and I was left home alone with my Daddy. It was scary. The good news is that I survived! I spent the morning with my Grandma CC, and then my Mommy came to my office to get me. She came real early, so I was surprised and happy, but a bit confused. (I guess that is how Gizmo feels Ha Ha Ha) Mommy and I went for a car ride and we met up with Daddy in Racine. We all hung out at Barnes and Nobles for a little while, and then we were off to see my allergist. All was well (although we did spend a lot of time there) and then we had a quick diner together at the Olive Garden. Then Mommy had to leave to go to these conferences, and I was alone with Daddy.

Daddy decided to take me to the mall. He said it was “to pick up chicks”, but I made him take me shopping to buy something special for Mommy for her special day coming up this Sunday. I have been told all about it…Mother’s Day (Personally I think is should be renamed Mommy’s Day…but what do I know!)

By the time Mommy came home, I was asleep, but I know she took me out of my swing and put me in my crib…it just felt like her!

Happy Birthday Uncle Chad (I haven’t meet you, but I know your big brother Uncle Jimmy and if you are anything like him, then I think I will like you lots when I get to meet you)

Today I stayed home with Daddy. I was still sore from my horrible shot experience yesterday (let’s not talk about that anymore) so Daddy gave me Tylenol and was very good to me (He didn’t torture me nearly as much as he usually does…that was nice) I think Mommy told him to be extra good to me today. I sure do love her (and Daddy too)

Daddy and I had to go over to the new house and wait for the people to bring over the lawnmower and the stove and the cook top that we all ordered on Sunday. That was fun, but there was some bad news. It turns out that the lawnmower was damaged and Daddy didn’t like that. (It wasn’t all shiny like I like either) So he complained, and it is going to be replaced later…but he can still use it now 🙂

We ended up at Daddy’s workplace – Parkside. I got to play with my friend Shauna and I met a new friend named Kelly. She has a little girl who is older than me…but I think that would be ok…we’ll see.

Mommy came home later than usual (she had a meeting after school) but I finally got her home to play with me. We played together, and then something new and exciting happened. Mommy and Daddy put me in this table thing and fed me something new. It wasn’t in a bottle either. It was in a dish and I used a spoon. I didn’t make that much of a mess!!! Mommy said it was cereal. It seemed ok…but I would rather have my bottle or milk directly from the source (Mommy that is)
