2010, finally

Okay, new year, new posts...and I'm doing an awful job of keeping everyone current. Sorry 'bout that.

But great excuses, really. Really! I've been sick twice since December. Just before the holidays I got a cough that needed some medicine and then again right after New Year's day.

Just getting over that and I'm just about back to my normal bubbly self.

Oh and another excuse...too much fun playing with my trains!

I promise to try and do better with keeping the updates rolling - maybe mommy and daddy need to keep reminding me too.

Snow wow

We've had quite an out of ordinary day this first day of March. First off, I'm still feeling a wee bit sick this weekend. Haven't been my energetic self at all, but sometimes later in the day I start feeling better.

This afternoon was a rough one for me though. I didn't really take a nap and started not feeling well, so I cried and screamed, and screeched and cried most of the afternoon. Mommy and Daddy finally calmed me down with a bath and though maybe I had some gas in my tummy or something.

Whatever it was, it started to go away and I started feeling better and hungry!

Oh and all weekend long it has just rained and rained, which is good Daddy said because we needed the rain to help end our drought. But it was just a gray drabby weekend and then early this evening, that rain turned to what Mommy and Daddy called snow!

They took my over to the back door and turned on the light and I saw all these globs of white stuff just falling everywhere, and everything on the ground was just coated in it! All I could say was, "wow!" over and over.

Daddy went outside and scooped some of it up and threw it at the window, I thought that was a little funny, but then he brought some of it inside and I wasn't sure what to do about it. I touched it, but it was really cold and wet...I don't want any part of that whatsoever!

From the sound of it, Mommy doesn't have school tomorrow, so I bet I won't either.

Upchuck

I suppose it's that time of year with sickness going around. Some of my friends at Chesterbrook were sick last week and I think I got part of it, or something.

Last Monday Daddy stayed home with me because Chesterbrook was closed for President's Day, but Mommy still had school. Then overnight Thursday into Friday I didn't feel so good and tossed my cookies. So Daddy kept me home again to keep an eye on me.

I slept a lot Friday, but in the afternoon I felt much better! Still though I had some issues overnight, but the rest of Saturday and most of Sunday, I was close to my old self.

Which let me tell is a whole lot of fun if I may say so myself. I really like exploring the house and seeing all the stuff I can get into. I like hugging the kitties....when they let me!

A couple of times, Mommy sat me on her lap and called Grandma on her laptop. Grandma's in Florida with Luke and Alex and I got to see them too, that was pretty neat.

I did okay today with feeling better and keeping my food down, so maybe I'm getting past whatever sickness was going around. We'll see...

More catching up

The last few weeks were a bit loopy. I got sick, daddy got sick, mommy got sick, daddy got sick again, I got sick again and mommy's still not well (daddy makes jokes about that, but I'm not gonna laugh at them).

So, what's happened since mommy's birthday....well, on mommy's birthday, I spent my first evening away from family and was baby-sat by the Vanderbilt's. They were a lot of fun, but I fell asleep towards the end.

Then my 8th month birthday came around, I'm something like 17 pounds and 26-some inches long, but let me tell you my head's getting huge (as well it should of course!) and it's gotta be all brain power.

Oh hey, I'm sitting up now (look at my pictures and you'll see), not quite crawling, but I'm trying to figure that out. Grandma Connelly's helping me with that too.

She's also got me sitting up in the shopping carts when we go out and boy oh boy, it's whole new world out there!!! All sorts of stuff I can grab for and try to stuff in my mouth....it just doesn't get any better.

Last Monday I got to see my mommy perform on stage. She had her Winthrop concert and I think I did rather well. Daddy had to take me out into the hallway for a few songs because it was time for me to be squirmy, but let me tell you she played well and I should know.

That pretty much wraps it up, like I said, there's new pictures posted, so check 'em out and let me know what you think. I'll be happy to sell any since I don't think mommy or daddy have started a college savings account for me yet.

Being Sick and seeing my Great Uncle

I picked up my second cold over the past weekend, but this one hasn't been so bad. I haven't been coughing near as much, but boy oh boy has the snot been flowing. I mean come on, I'm already drooling buckets, but add a runny nose on top of that and it's just not a ton of fun.

And then, tack onto that the probability that I'm into another growth spurt and, jeepers, life can be tough at times!

Well aside from that, mommy's Uncle Todd was in town earlier this week and he stopped by to see me (and our house) for the first time. I was hoping he'd bring his family along, but I guess I'll have to wait a little longer to meet his kids Camille and Delaney, and my Great Aunt Kathy.

Speaking of which, did you know my Great Grandfather is turning 80 this year?!?! That's simply amazing, I can't wait to meet him in April, his birthday is a few days after mommy's.

It was fun seeing my Great Uncle Todd, he's funny, but I hope he doesn't get stuck in the wrong restroom anymore!

Whew, it's late, time for bed.....you know yesterday, I fell asleep on the way home from day care and didn't wake up until after 7:30 and then I went to bed at 9 and didn't stir all night long.
