So I still have a cold. I was miserable this morning at 2:30 am when I woke up because my nose was too stuffy for me to breath out of. My Mommy came to my aid and sat up with me and rocked me and made me feel lots better. Grandma was up early today because she had to take my Auntie to the airport. She had to go back to shyster school today. I will miss her, but she will be home here in a month or so and then we can play together in the summer time (I can’t wait for summer…Mommy says it is the best time of year – except for Christmas with Santa) I don’t know what that means, but I am excited for it to come.

Grandma picked me up from my house early. and I stayed with her and then Vickie. I slept most of the day because I didn’t feel good. Mommy came to get me around 1:30 and then I went back home. I started to feel better, and because it was so nice and warm outside, Mommy and I went out for our first walk. We just went to the end of the block, but I got to see the sunset. All those colors it was too coll!

Daddy came home late (Mommy sent him to the store for me) and then they gave me a bath with some new stuff that he just got. It had shea butter in it and I really liked it. I am soft and smell real good now.

Going to go to sleep now so that I will get better sooner

Wow what a day I had today. My Mommy, Daddy, Grandma CC, Auntie Sparky, and I went out to the outlet malls to shop. I love clothes (Daddy says I get that trait from my Mommy). It was so nice outside that I decided I didn’t want to just be in the stroller, I wanted Mommy to carry me in the Baby Bjorn so that I could see everyone and everything that was going on. Mommy was worried that I would get too much sun, so she bought me a hat (actually two hats…one a baseball cap and the other one Grandma CC picked out). So I can’t wait to grow into my new clothes. Mommy say not to rush and to not grow up too fast…we’ll see about that!

We all had lunch/dinner together, and then we went back to Grandma’s house. That is when I decided to not feel good and get a runny nose and sneezes and be generally unhappy. Mommy and Daddy brought me home, but it wasn’t a happy night for anyone at my house.

I hope feel better soon,

Alex (with a cold)

I survived. Mommie didn’t think I could do it but I did! My Auntie Sparky, Auntie Barbie, and Grandma CC all pitched in to be at my beck and call. Mommie was only slight moderately freaked out. She called 8 times the first night and then called at 7:03am the next morning. It is sweet how she worries about me, but finally she relaxed and enjoyed herself with Daddy for their anniversary. Oh so Mommie and Daddy brought me home a present, his name is Dr. Alex Bear. He is wonderful… I just know that we will be life long friends. So let me tell you about what I did on my overnight trip: I ate a lot, I slept a lot, I pooped a ton (literally I think it was a ton… at least that is what Auntie Sparky said) I also had tons of tummy time and did a lot of smiling and being overall adorable. I slept in Autie Sparky’s room at night… I kept playing practical jokes on her, I would make noises in the middle of the night like I was going to wake up. This would cause her to get out of bed and check on me…hahahahahahhahaha I am so funny. Okay everyone, it’s time for me to say goodnight. Thanks everyone for watching me!!!

Happy 5th Anniversary Mommy and Daddy. So I got to see my Auntie Sparky today! When I woke up this morning, Mommy took me out of bed, and then Auntie Sparky fed me. She looks a little like my Mommy, and sounds like her too…but she can’t feed me like my Mommy can. However I have decided that my Auntie Sparky can “fill in” for my Mommy anytime!

I hung out at the house this morning, first with Daddy, then with Auntie Sparky and Auntie Barbie. Mommy came home from work, held me for a few moments, and then it was into the car seat for a drive. We went to Grandma’s house. That is where my parent’s left me. ALONE!

Mommy and Daddy are off on their own (without me mind you) being alone together for their anniversary. They had better not bring me back a little brother or sister… I am so enjoying being the only baby human at home right now.

Since my Mommy and Daddy left me, I have been hanging out with my Auntie Sparky. Mommy keeps calling though…she can be crazy, because I am fine. I have doing great actually. I have been fed, had tummy time, and got tons and tons of holding time.

I hope I will see Mommy and Daddy tomorrow, but until then I am doing great with Auntie Sparky, Grandma CC, Auntie Barbie, Uncle Jimmy, and Rugby and Natasha (although they are pretty loud)

My Auntie Sparky has arrived! Yeah! Well Mommy says she will be arriving tonight (after I am asleep). I haven’t seen her in a long time, but I am still excited to hang out with her. Mommy (and Daddy) tell me that she likes to watch me on the web cam and I like that!

I was back at Grandma CC’s office playing “consultant” again. That sure is fun. I get to hang out with all kinds of cool ladies at the office (Auntie Barbie, Breanna, Kim, Ashley, Mrs. Wick and the Vickster) and they all take such good care of me! I get fed when I want, changed when I want, held when I want, played with when I want, my plugger in my mouth when I want…just don’t tell them that I have them all wrapped around my little fingers (just like I have done with my Mommy)

Mommy came to get me in after work, and then we went home where I ate and then went to sleep. Mommy worked around the house packing an overnight bag for me…I don’t know what that means, and I am not sure if I am going to like this..we’ll see.

Can’t wait to see my Auntie Sparky,

It is Wednesday, and you know what that means. Daddy and I are alone together all day. In case you haven’t read this earlier, I have warned Mommy time and time again that I need to be supervised by an adult and Daddy just doesn’t cut it. Mommy has told me time and time again that Daddy is a good Daddy and he loves me and takes very very good care of me. I guess I would just perfer Mommy. Daddy says that I am a “Mamma’s Boy” I am so ok with that title!

Today I just hung out at the house. I supervised Daddy make dinner (pot roast in the slow cooker – a fitting name for my slow Daddy) The whole house smelled so good all day. I can’t wait to taste the potroast – tomorrow or so when Mommy decides to share with me!

Grandma CC came over for dinner, and that is always tons of fun. We watched Baby Motzart (which I like tons) and I got to sit in my table that Grandma got for me when Mommy, Daddyy, and Grandma (and me too inside of Mommy) went to a special lecture on baby safety. I had fun in it, but kept leaning to one side or the other! I will have to work on my sitting up skills!

Later Gator

Happy 1st day of Spring! I don’t know what Spring is, but Mommy says it is lots of fun. You get to go play outside and go to places like the park (whatever that is) and the sun shines and it is warm out. Mommy says that the 1st day of Summer (June 21st) is better because it is her birthday! I will have to remember that day.

Today my Daddy stayed home with me all day. This was the first (of more to come I am sure) of an Alex sitting issue. So Daddy sucked it up and worked from home and played with me all day! Yeah.

Mommy came home from work to “rescue” me and that was great. I love to smile for my Mommy (and Daddy, and Grandma CC, and well…almost anyone who asks me too)

Grandma CC came over with dinner for all of us, but before we (ok Mommy, Daddy, and Grandma CC) Mommy and Grandma CC gave me a bath. It was more of Grandma CC watching Mommy and me and having a great time in the water getting clean. The three of us had great fun. They I got dressed and ate once more before bedtime!

Share more fun later

Well, it is Monday again. I still hate Monday’s (see last week’s entry if you need details as to why I hate Monday’s)

So my Daddy was going to have his foot cut open…but that event got moved to a later date. I will just have to torment him this week in using my own methods, since his surgery got changed. I have lots of fun tormenting him and torturing him too! Forget the Geneva Convention!

Today I didn’t want to wake up. I was tired of getting up early, but my parent’s woke me at 6:15 so that I could eat and then head over to Grandma CC’s. I spent most of the day with the Vickster…she is funny, and I had a good time. I got to watch a new Baby Einstein DVD – meet the orchestra. That was cool.

Mommy and I went and visited the neighbor today. Keri was home and so were Trey and Kaylee…I hung out in the kitchen (which is in the process of being remodeled) that was fun. I thought since they had come to see me a few weeks ago, that I could go see them.

All in all, my day wasn’t too eventful. I had fun and that’s all the matters sometimes!

Alex

Sunday Sunday Sunday!!! I slept in today…all the way to 6 am before Mommy and I had breakfast together. Then I took a brief nap before decided that I didn’t want to be in bed anymore. I played with both Mommy and Daddy today and had lots of fun. Mommy played piano for me (twinkle twinkle) and I got to play with my jungle gym on the floor. I also spent some time in the swing and of course the usual hanging out on Mom and Dad for extra fun times!

In the afternoon, Grandma CC came over and picked up Mommy, Daddy, and I and we went across town to the “new” house. I am not entirely clear on what is going on, but from what I gather…Mommy, Daddy, Grandma CC, and I are moving in together. That means that Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat are moving in with Rugby and Natasha…I haven’t been around long, but I am fairly certain that this isn’t going to work too well…I can’t wait to see this action unfold.

Mommy says that it will be a while before we move, I don’t care too much as long as I have my Mommy and Daddy and Panda Cat and Gizmo Cat and food, and diapers, and my toys, and clothes, and…well I just want my stuff when I need it and then I am happy! Mainly food and diapers and Mommy…almost everything else is negotiable!

That is my week…I hope you enjoyed hearing about it. I think next week will be lest hectic, so maybe I can keep up with it as the days unfold!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day Everyone! According to my Mommy I am 1/8 Irish. According to my Daddy, everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day! Today was a day of travel for me…kinda like last weekend, but more time in my car seat!

First we all went to Erin’s house. I met her mom, and then Hollie and Adam met us there. I met Hollie when I was not even a day old, but this was the first time I met Adam…they are both nice. Mamma Jo is good at holding and playing with me…she is experienced and has an Alex too! (and an Andy) she has two grandson’s!

We all went to the “Village” to eat at Ferchs’ for lunch. Michele and Justin met us all there and we had tons of fun. When Daddy gets off his lazy butt..ok broken back and ankle, I will have him put up the pictures of my trip to the “Village of Greendale”

After lunch, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to visit my Auntie Buki. At her house, I met my cousin’s Aliah and Vedder. For some reason my sister calles them All Evil and Vitler. I don’t know why, they seemed perfectly nice to me. My Uncle Jeff was out with friends, so I didn’t get a chance to see him and show him how big I have gotten or some of my new tricks. I did get to show Auntie Buki how I can stand (sort of) and how good I can hold me head up. She fed me and played with me and we had fun together.

After leaving Auntie Buki’s, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to my store…Babies R Us. (I told you it was a lot of time in my car seat) I finally decided that I had enough of being in my car seat, and had a “mimi meltdown” I didn’t need to be fed or changed, but I was angry. So my Mommy carried me around the store and I was very very happy about that arrangement. I got some new t-shirts (I had outgrown most of my other ones) and some new pluggers..Mommy says that not only is there a sock monster but in our house there is a plugger monster too. I really don’t know what a monster is (Mommy calls me her little monster) but it sounds fun to me.

After finishing shopping, we headed home…but not before I decided I needed food (so Daddy had to get off the freeway so I could be fed) and stopping to visit Grandma CC. I wanted to show her my special St. Patrick’s Day outfit!

Hope you all had something green today!
