I'm still here!

Oh boy, it sure has been a loooong time. All I have to say is that my Mommy can be lazy! LOL

So, a lot has been going on. A week after superbowl weekend Mommy and I ended up getting sick. I went to the Dr and ended up having to have this yucky mask thing on...and then it followed me home and my Mommy and Daddy had to do it there too. Mommy said it was supposed to make me not sick anymore so I only put up a small fight. They still have it though so I hope they don't torture me with it later!
I have been eating solids now for a while. I just started today eating them in the morning too and not just at night. So far I like everything but sweet potatoes and applesauce. And I only like it mixed in oatmeal. How can you eat that stuff plain? Gives me the shivers just thinking about it!
I got a new toy and LOVE holding onto it while I am standing. That's the best. Hopefully Mommy can figure out how to post pictures here and she'll show you! I can also move around a little on my belly. Only in a circle though. And when I really want something I seem to get further away from it...I don't get it.
I've started being nice and letting Mommy put me to bed around 8-8:30pm instead of 9:30-10pm. I still wake up sometimes to keep her on her toes, but I really am a good girl at heart.
My Mommy went on a shopping spree last week because she got upset at people at work and it made her feel better....and guess who she spent it all on? If you guessed ME you were right! Although I really hope it warms up soon so I don't freeze while wearing them.

Superbowl weekend!

So every year Mommy and Daddy go with family and friends to Tahoe and rent a cabin for Superbowl. This year they changed it and we all went to Bodega Bay.
We went and walked on the beach saturday. My first time at the beach. It was really cold though. And Mommy and Daddy wouldn't let me play in the sand 'cause they didn't want me to eat it. And it was so cold they didn't want me to get wet. So Daddy carried me in my cool backpack thing. I had lots of fun.
There were so many people there it was kinda neat. Mommy was happy that I didn't cry with all the new faces. There were lots of kids to entertain me too! Now I see why you all have so much fun with brothers and sisters!
On a side note, they fed me solids. Ummm, yuck. I don't see how you all can eat that yucky stuff. They gave me sweet potatoes and they made me shiver! Then they tried peas...not much better. Why can't I just eat BM for the rest of my life?!?!?! And then yesterday Daddy tried to trick me by putting his finger in my mouth to chew on (so I'd open my mouth) and then sticking the yucky stuff in there! Applesauce isn't much better! I'm gonna have to watch out for that tricky Daddy! Mommy got too frustrated that I wouldn't open my mouth so she made Daddy feed me! But I got to play with some noodles after that! I had so much fun throwing them on the ground!

6 month appt

Had my 6 month appt today. I am 19 pounds 9 oz and 27 and a half inches long! Woohoo. My Mommy was close, she said I was probably 20 pounds. My Dr says I'm doing great. He liked how good I was sitting up. And he told Mommy not to worry that I wasn't rolling over...he even said I might skip it and go straight to crawling or walking. But I still have no interest in those either!
He also gave Mommy and Daddy the ok to give me solids. I hope they taste better than that yucky rice cereal!
Those darn shots caught me by surprise. That mean old nurse gave me the first one and it sure got my attention, the second one made me start to cry and then she gave me another one and I was crying so hard I couldn't catch my breath! Hello!!! Now that one hurt. But my Mommy picked me up and made me feel all better after that!
So, we are all good until my 9 month appt. Yay!!

Too long

Wow, it's been so long since I've been here! Sorry!
Well a lot has been going on in my world. I haven't seen my Grandma Sheree in awhile. My Mommy and Daddy say she is hurt. I hope she is feeling better soon. Especially since I've heard them talking about leaving me with strangers. Can you believe that? My Mommy seems really upset about it though.
I am sitting up really good. Everyone is so proud of me. Every once in awhile I will take a nap in my bed too. I have been kinda sleepy lately too, so my Mommy thinks I might be growing a lot again.
I have my 6 month check up on Friday, Feb 3rd (I was officially 6 months yesterday!) Hopefully they aren't too mean to me. I will get to eat real food now! Yahoo. Last night I was giving my Mommy the tight lip when she was trying to give me rice cereal. Hello, I just wanted to play with the spoon. I didn't want that rice cereal crap! Sometimes I just can't wait to talk so I can tell her what I want...or better yet what I don't want!

Sad Mommy

My Mommy is sad. I think it's because she noticed that I'm growing out of some of my 6-9 month clothes (and I'm not even 6 months yet!). She says that I need to stop growing so fast. It's not my fault she has super milk and I love eating!

Busy bee

Whew, we had such a busy weekend! My Mommy, Daddy and I went to visit my Auntie Melanie and cousins, Alexis and Matthew (they are old...6 and 5). It's a whole 2 hrs away from our house. I made noises and slept the whole time. (You would have hated it Ryan!!)
Daddy was helping Auntie Melanie install a new door, since the other one is falling apart. So Mommy and Daddy went to get the new door and they left me with Auntie Melanie. I was so mad, I mean hello...why couldn't I go too??? I cried until Auntie started to bring out all kinds of toys and even a swing. My Mommy said she was really amazed that Auntie had all that stuff still, but I loved it. Although she brought out this thing that looked kinda like my jumparoo, but it didn't let me jump. I think she said it was a walker or something...lame! My Auntie was sneaky too, I fell asleep in the swing and ended up taking a nap, against my wishes thank you very much!!
I got to meet on of Mommies very good friends. He was really nice. I kept giving him smiles. We all went out to dinner together too. My very first time. I got to be a big girl and sit in the cool chair. I had lots of fun chewing on the table! Although Mommy and Daddy kept putting my rag where I was chewing. I kept trying to take it off but I finally gave in to them and let them have their way. You've gotta let them think they can get away with things sometimes, you know?

Rookie

My Grandma Sally watched me yesterday all by herself for the very first time! So I decided to "break her in". I started off by peeing all over my freshly new clothes she just put on me and all over my changing table stuff too (it was a really good one). That'll teach her to have a fresh diaper ready from now on! (such a rookie move on her part) Then I gave her 2 really good poopy diapers. So I got to wear 3 outfits yesterday, not just one!! I will have to remember that so when Mommy or Daddy puts me in something I don't want to wear I can get them to change me.

I also decided I didn't want to sleep alone last night. So I went to sleep as usual and slept for about an hour and then just when Mommy and Daddy got in bed I started crying...and guess what? It worked! Daddy came and got me and put me in their bed. So I waited until they fell asleep before I really went to sleep and I got to stay with them all night. I think My Mommy and Daddy are really tired today though. Mommy says she doesn't sleep very good when I'm in bed with them. Oh well, I slept great! That's all that matters, right?
