I Continue to Amaze

Mommy continues to be amazed by me.  Here lately, she's been trying to get me to eat baby food from a spoon.  I have done everything in my power to prevent this.  I close my mouth, spit it out if she does get it in, and scream bloody murder.  However, last night, I decided that I should maybe cooperate.  It was actually pretty cool.  I figured out that if I let Mommy stick the spoon in my mouth, I can swallow the baby food and I'm not hungry any more.  Mommy was amazed, too, that I cooperated so eagerly.  Maybe it was because she made the food herself instead of giving me that old canned stuff.

I'm still struggling to get over this yucky cold that I have.  My nose continues to be runny and I hate it when Mommy or Daddy wipes my nose.  I hope I get over this thing soon!

I had a BIG Weekend!

Mommy had her pony meet this weekend, so I got to spend lots of time with my Aunt Ann.  She took me shopping, took me out to eat and to see James & Nikki and she kept me occupied.  I had a good time, and hopefully Ann did too.

Also, over the weekend, I developed a nasty cold.  My nose is all runny and snotty and I can hardly breathe through my nose.  But it hasn't dampened my spirits much.  I'm still a rather happy baby!  I hope that I start feeling better soon, though.  So does Mommy.

My Aunt Ann Came to Visit Me!

I stayed with Ms. Jennifer yesterday and I had a rough day.  I just didn't feel good and I still haven't wound down from this past weekend.  I was screaming when Mommy came to pick me up.  Mr. Jamie had a rough day too, which made it that much harder for Ms. Jennifer.  He didn't want to take a nap.

 

My Aunt Ann came to visit me yesterday.  She's staying all weekend and going to watch me on Saturday while Mommy has her pony meet.  She got to our house before Mommy & I got home because it took us 30 minutes to pick up my last pictures at JC Penney.  They are really good pictures, though!

 

We went out to eat last night and I wanted to get my little hands in Mommy's and Aunt Ann's food.  They wouldn't let me, though.  Then we went to the grocery store.  I stayed pretty content at the store until right when we were about to leave.  Then we went home, I got a bottle and I went to bed.  It was a tiring day.

I Wasn't Such a Good Baby Yesterday

I got so used to being held all the time this past weekend that I didn't want Mommy to put me down at all yesterday.  I didn't want to take a nap, either.  I'd fuss and cry if Mommy left me by myself for any period of time.  Then, Mommy and Daddy took me out to eat with them and I kept trying to stick my hand in Mommy's cole slaw.  I just wanted to try it!  She didn't want me to have it, though.

I've spent the day with Daddy today.  He said I've been pretty good.  I was fussing every time Mommy called, though. So, Mommy doesn't believe it.

On My Way Home

It was a big weekend and I am worn out. We are on our way home now. I am going to sleep now.

I Am Such a Good Baby!

Mommy is increasingly more impressed with how good a baby I am.  We went shopping for a few things yesterday afternoon, and I was awake the whole time.  I didn't fuss one bit (well, until we got in the car and we were stopped at a redlight).  Nothing much else happened yesterday.  I slept a lot and didn't want to go to bed as early as Mommy wanted me to.  Other than that, not much news.

We're going to Virginia tonight, so I probably won't be updating my diary this weekend.  I'll let you know what happened on Monday.

Not Much to Tell...

Well, there really hasn't been any major goings on the past couple days.  Just the same, old stuff.  I'm still sleeping in my bed.  I still don't like my baby food.  Mommy tried it last night and can see why I don't like the cereal.  I still have a tummy ache, but I'm in good spirits otherwise. 

 

I'm going to Virginia tomorrow evening.  We can't leave until 5:00, so that's going to throw my sleeping schedule off.  But hopefully, it won't be a problem.

Not Feeling Too Well...

I've not felt too well the past two days.  Either I'm teething and it's causing me to have diarrhea or the fruit that Mommy started giving me is doing it.  But, my tummy feels bad either way.  It's put me a bit on the cranky side.

Mommy and Daddy thought they were going to have it easy putting me to bed in my own bed last night.  They put me down at 9:00 and I talked myself to sleep.  But, I woke up again at 10:30 and it took 15 minutes of Mommy walking the floor with me to get me to stop crying.  Once I stopped crying, though, she was able to put me down and I went right back to sleep.  I'm just testing them to see if they will give in and let me sleep with them.

Big News! I'm Sleeping in My Own Bed!

The past two nights, I have actually been sleeping in my own bed!  Isn't that great?!  Mommy and Daddy are happy too.  Mommy has been putting me to bed between 8 and 9 and letting me cry out my anxieties from the day.  (I'm really just mad that she's leaving me alone in my bed).  But eventually, I do manage to fall asleep.  Mommy is hoping to get me on an earlier schedule.  Going to bed earlier and getting up earlier in the morning.  That would make life much easier for her.

Other things to mention are the fact that I'm not sure I like Bananas.  They are not agreeing with my tummy either.  Mommy is going to try applesauce tonight.  I've also been sucking on my lip here lately.  I don't know why, but it just feels good.  It may not feel too good once my teeth come in, though.

I'm Getting to be a Big Girl!

Guess what?!  I had my first fruit last night!  Mommy gave me some bananas with my cereal last night.  I'm not sure if I like them, but I did manage to get about a tablespoon of each down.  Then Mommy gave me a little bit of a bottle to wash it all down.  I sat in the high chair and ate from a spoon and everything. In order to get me to swallow, Mommy tried a trick that she uses on Allex to get him to take medicine.  Once she got a spoonful of food in my mouth, she would lightly blow in my face.  It startled me a little, but it triggered me to swallow.

Mommy tried to get me to sleep in my bed last night, but I kept rolling over onto my tummy.  So, she'd have to come in and roll me back over onto my back.  She couldn't find my sleep positioner, either.  (Don't tell Mommy, but I had Nana move it so that Mommy wouldn't be able to find it.)  I didn't want to go to sleep, though.  So, Daddy rocked me.  It was a big day yesterday, with my shots and all.  I'm just glad it is over.

4 Month Check-Up

Well, I went to the doctor today. I was pretty happy until he showed mommy how to stretch out the tight muscle in my neck. He said that the muscle on the right side of my neck is too tight and is making it more difficult for me to turn my head to the left. That's why I have a big bald spot on the right side only. But, before all that, I got weighed and measured. My official weight is 15 pounds and 9 ounces and my official length is 25.5 inches. So, I'm actually 1/2 inch shorter than Mommy thought. I'm in the 85th percentile in weight and in the 90th percentile in length. So, as you can see, I'm growing like a weed!

I also got 4 shots today. That really made me unhappy. I did not like that one bit. I cried and cried after I got those shots. Well, until Mommy took me out of the exam room. Once we left there, I was ok. I slept all the way back home.

4 Months and a Lot has Happened

Well, Mommy has slacked off on posting pictures and updating my diary. I had to get on her to get back on the ball. While she still hasn't updated the pictures, she has created me a new diary and promises to keep up with it a little better.

I'm 4 months old today and I'm growing so fast! Here's what's new with me since the last time Mommy posted:

• I'm almost too big for 3-6 month clothes already. 6-9 month body suits fit me pretty good.
• I'm able to roll over in both directions, though I don't do either frequently.
• I'm cutting my bottom teeth and I'm pretty cranky, too.
• I love my walker and I love Allex. He's furry and I'd love to get hold of that fur!
• Allex still doesn't want to have too much to do with me, but he doesn't seem to mind too much when I do manage to get a fistful of his fur.
• I've had my professional pictures taken 3 more times and I'm such a ham for the camera.
• I've been to Ohio to visit Nana and Grandfather.
• I've been to Virginia a couple times to visit Granny and Poppy.
• I'm now taking a little cereal in my milk before I go to bed.
• I sleep through the night (though I don't like to sleep by myself).
• I love to spit razzberries at Mommy and Daddy and I gurgle and coo a lot when I'm happy.
• I think it's really funny when Mommy and Daddy blow on my belly, and I love to grab two fists full of their hair when the do it.
• I love bathtime now. I kick water all over the place. Mommy usually ends up soaked.
• I also like it when I'm not wearing a diaper.
• I'm almost too big for my carseat/carrier. Mommy and Daddy had to buy me a new car seat. I'm 26 inches long now. I weigh somewhere in the 14 pound range.
• I go to the doctor for shots tomorrow, so we'll get an exact weight and length tomorrow.

That's all I can think of for the time being. Check back tomorrow to find out what I weigh!
