Feeding Time

I'm trying to share this video clip of me eating cereal for the first time. This is the first attempt to post a video and the file is large. Hopefully everyone will be able to view it.

Bathtime Pictures

I also thought that I would share some cute pictures of my first bubble bath. Mommy thought a warm bath would help my cold and cough.

Hello Again

It has been awhile since I updated my blog. I have been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. I have been going to the new babysitter for a few weeks now. It is going pretty well - I have a lot of kids to watch there. Alice is very nice and keeps me well fed.

I also had Grandpa and Grandma come down and visit me recently. Wrigley thinks they come to visit him but I don't think so. They both tell me that I am getting big. Mommy & Daddy went out to dinner without me. I can't imagine why they would want to do that? I'm cute and fun! Gram and Poppy came over and watched me so I had fun without them. Ha!

I have had a cold this week and now I have a cough too. Mommy & Daddy have been spoiling me a little extra until I feel better. We are just hanging around the house because we got a big snow. I'm too little to play in it but it looks pretty.

Wrestlemania

Wrigley and I challenged Mommy to an extreme fighting match in the office. I think we kicked her butt.

I did my famous scissor kick take-down off the top ropes.


Look at the fear on her face.



Lick her into submission Wrigley!

New Babysitter!

Mommy & Daddy found me a new babysitter for next week. Mommy's co-workers highly recommended her so I am excited. There will be some new kids to meet. I'll be going there on Monday.

I had an interesting week because Mommy was off 2 days for snow. We hung out around the house a lot. I missed the car trips though because I like to be out and about. I still loved being with her all day.

I also had my first Valentine's Day. I got some Valentine cards and I helped Daddy order Mommy some tulips. He said that tulips are her favorite flowers. Then on Valentine's Day, Mommy wasn't feeling well so I hung out with Daddy all night. We watched The Godfather II, which he said was a fine father/daughter Valentine experience. I'm not so sure but I enjoyed playing with him while we watched it.

PS - I am 5 months old today. Do you think that is old enough for an allowance?

No Babysitter

Well it has been a week and let me tell you a lot has gone on. Mommy told me that on Wednesday Crystal, the babysitter, said she was quitting. Oh my gosh I could not believe that she did not want to keep me anymore and wanted to go back to work. That is just so crazy. I mean what happened to me being their princess. And the problem is my grandma lives too far away to keep me everyday. Wouldn't that be great if she lived closer. I would just love to play with her everyday. The other problem is my gram needs something called insurance. What is insurance anyway? All I know is that mommy said she is trying to find me someone. She wants to make sure that I get all the attention I crave. Well I will let you know when I have a new babysitter and I will tell you all about her. Well I assume it will be a her.

Oh yeah another full week in the crib, except for the night of the big storms, mommy, daddy, and I slept in the basement.

Until later hugs and kisses to all that read my blog.

Crib Times

Sorry it has been a few days, but I do have a lot of updates. Mommy and daddy were very adament about me staying in my crib to sleep and they made me do it every night this week. Ahhh. Well I did it and I passed the test with flying colors. I slept four night straight. Daddy put my paci in about three times the second night before he went to bed and then two times after 4:00 a.m. Then the third and fourth night mommy feel asleep with me in the rocking chair and then put me in the crib. I think she should have just crawled in bed with me she looked so tired, but she went to her own bed. Then last night daddy put me to bed. Mommy said she was exhausted and she went to bed. Daddy said I was up til almost 12 o'clock. They really want me to go to bed at 9:00. We'll see about that. I don't want to miss any of the action. What do they do when they put me to bed? Mommy says that she just falls into bed, but I know that daddy stays up. What does he do? He told me it is defiately to boring for me to stay up to watch. Oh well I guess I will try to go to be earlier.

I had a good week with the sitters. They call me their princess because I am so good. However, I did have three outfit changes this week. They keep blaming me for getting my outfits dirty, but I just think that someone can't put my diaper on right. Well at least that is what I will say for my own dignity because who wants to say that they poop on themselves.

Mommy took me to the YMCA almost everyday this week. I told her that I can't have that much fun there until I can walk because I just have to lay around in a swing or sit in a seat. All the action takes place on the other sidd of the door, but they say I am an infant and I can't go out there yet. What do they know? I want to play with those kids! Sometimes I am lucky and they carry me out there and I get to watch all of the kids. I just love kids they are so interesting. But I really love little babies like myself. I just like to be around them because I feel like that is when I am totally understood. They are my friends that know exactly what I am going through.

Well I better get off here and go take a nap. All of this typing and thinking has really made me tired. Ahh the life of a baby eat, dirty a diaper, sleep, play, and blog. That is the life for me!

P.S. Sorry about the sideways picture. Once I put it on I couldn't get it off and I didn't know how to change it.
