Week Fifty

So the temperature that sent me to the ER on Friday just kept getting worse all weekend ... the highest was 103.6 ... and I just wasn't feeling well at all ... I really just wanted to cuddle with mommy or daddy as much as I could ... Sunday night I got to sleep in bed with them because I felt terrible ...

First thing Monday morning mommy called my doctor to get me an appointment ... my doctor was so nice ... she said I looked great ... there were no ear infections or anything ... when they did the blood test it showed I was fighting a virus ... so mommy was supposed to keep giving me Tylenol and Motrin for my fever and to make sure I got plenty to drink ...

Mommy got to spend the whole day with me on Monday ... and Tuesday I spent the whole day with Daddy ... we snuggled a lot and watch Little Einsteins and The History Channel ... Wednesday afternoon I got to go to Grandmommy's house ... she read books to me and we got to crawl around and play ... and then I got to go back on Thursday morning ... Friday mommy stayed home with me and took me back to the doctor because I still had a fever ... but they said everything looked good ...

Something happened Wednesday night ... I started screaming and just couldn't stop ... I screamed constantly on Thursday and Friday and today ... no one is sure why ... not even me ... but mommy and daddy are being very patient with me ... thank goodness ...

on a non sick note I have really started walking around while holding onto things ... and I am getting so good at it ... mommy thinks I have been screaming because I want to talk and walk on my own ... and I'm just frustrated

I really missed going to school this week ... I have so much fun there ... but I'll be back next week ...

Week Forty-Nine

Gigi was moved into my class on Monday and Miss Tasha came back ... it was a huge day for me ... she was in the infant 1 class before and we got to play in the mornings but now we can play all day long ... it is so great ... so there are only 3 of us in my class now ... Gigi, me and Armasted ... Miss Tasha told mommy that Gigi and I gave Armasted a hard time all day but he just giggled about it ...

Miss Tasha has been gone for over a month on leave and came back on Monday ... I was so happy to see her and she was so glad to be back ... now I get to spend more time in the big kid infant room with all the big toys ...

But on Friday the school called mommy because I had a fever of 101.2 ... so she came and picked me up ... she took me back to work and gave me some Tylenol but by the time we got home it was up to 103 ... so we went to the emergency room ... we were there forever!! and mommy didn't know we were going to be gone so long so she had to improvise to get me to drink some juice ... they did a bunch of tests but didn't find anything wrong ... they told mommy and daddy that if I still had a fever on Monday to see my pediatrician ...

I am standing up more and more now and getting much faster at it ... and I can crawl so fast now ... I also love playing with the phone ... the other morning I was playing with it and called Mommy's friend Naomi ... not only was it the first phone call I made it was long distance too ...

I also love the TiVo remote ... this morning I was playing with it and hit the thumbs up button 3 times while watching Little Einsteins ... that lets TiVo know I really love that show ...

Week Forty-Eight

I have become an excellent eater ... I gobble everything up ... well not Lima Beans ... not too crazy about those ... but anything else that is put in front of me I'll eat ... I love watermelon and green beans ... pasta and chicken ... bites of mommy's frozen yogurt ... and pancakes, waffels and french toast for breakfast ... I'm now eating 3 meals a day with snacks and only a couple of bottles a day ... it is so much fun ...

I've also been sleeping really well ... I only cry for a few minutes when they lay me down and then I'm out for the night ... once in a while I wake up but I go right back to sleep ...

Sunday we went to Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house for dinner ... let me tell you being able to eat all the delicious food instead of a bottle makes it so much more fun ... and since I can crawl around and play now Ellie and I have fun together ... she is going to love it when I start walking and talking ...

School was so much fun as always but Miss LaKisha's last day was on Friday ... I was really sad to see her go ... I really liked having her as a teacher ... but Miss Tasha will be back from her leave next week so that is good ...

Mommy and I went grocery shopping on Friday and I had a blast ... I love going to the store and riding in the shopping cart ... I giggled the whole time cause mommy talked to me constantly ...

It is starting to get a bit warmer here and there too which is great ... I was getting tired of being bundled up all the time ...

Week Forty-Seven

We cleaned house all day on Saturday ... ALL day ... I helped mommy put away a mountain of clean clothes ... it is always so much fun for me to hand her hangers and pick up socks ... plus I get to climb all over the clothes ...

On Sunday Mommy, Daddy and I went to IKEA to get me a tent and one of those tubes you crawl through ... I had so much fun while shopping ... they have kids shopping carts and I got to eat my first Croissant while we shopped ... it was very fun ... when we got home I wasn't as excited to crawl through the tube as they thought I would be but it sure is fun to throw things in it ...

I've started cruising ... not too far and not too fast ... but I am doing it ... holding onto the coffee table I scooted myself down one side and around the corner ... it is much easier to get everything off the table when I can move around to get it ...

Mommy has gotten all sorts of sippy cups for me to try but the only ones I love are the ones where I don't have to do any work to get the drink out ... Mommy says we can't take those anywhere cause everything will get wet ... but they are the best cups ... tilt it up to my mouth and my drink comes right out ... all the other ones have straws or you have to suck really hard who wants to do all that work to get a little water ...

my two bottom teeth are really poking through now ... mommy says any day now people will really be able to see them ... it sure makes it easier when eating ... right now my favorite veggie are green beans and I adore grapes ... can't get enough of them ... and mommy and daddy laugh at me because when I eat both of them I make loud sucking sounds because I am enjoying them ... my teacher told mommy when we had corndogs the other day the whole time I kept going "mmmmmmmm" while I ate it all ... mommy thinks it is because she craved them while pregnant with me ... that I was born to love corndogs ...
