Week Forty-Six

Saturday night we went to Hamburger Hamlet for mommy's birthday ... it was Grandmommy and Granddaddy ... Aunt Jenny, Uncle Jason and Ellie ... Mommy, Daddy and me ... we had so much fun ... I got to have a quesadilla for the first time and it was delicious ... and it is so much fun seeing Ellie ... she gets to do all sorts of neat things ... she colored and played with stickers while we waited for our food ... I tried to color but mostly just ate my crayon ...

The school called Mommy on Monday ... while one of the teachers was putting a little boy in my class to bed her dropped his bottle and I beelined it over to the bottle and started drinking from it ... well I guess it is a really big deal because it was breastmilk and they had to let all sorts of people know and watch me to make sure I was alright ... when Miss Belinda called mommy she didn't yell at Miss B or anything ... she told her that she understood things happen and not to worry about ... that was good ... everyone kept appologizing to mommy when she came to get me ... and mommy just goofed around with me cause of what I did ... so to make everyone feel better Mommy, Daddy and I baked cookies for everyone Monday night ... it was so much fun and I got to taste one ... it was delicious ... and on Tuesday morning when mommy brought them to school everyone was so happy ... I love doing fun projects like that ...

All this week mommy was sure I was really going to start cruising around the furniture ... I can stand up easily (but don't always want to sit down on my own ... sometimes I want a little help) and I pick up my feet while watching them but I have only moved a bit here and there ... but I'm thinking about trying it more ...

On Friday mommy picked me up from school a little early and brought me back to work so I could see Marianne and Roxanne and Mary ... I always have so much fun there ... and they all think everything I do is cute and funny ... wait till I start faking them out just to hear how cute I am ... I think they want mommy to bring me in every day ...

Well Mommy is cleaning the house today so I am going to go nap so I don't have to help too much ...

Week Forty-Five

On Saturday night Mommy, Daddy and I went out to dinner at the diner in celebration of Mommy's birthday that is coming up this week ... I got to order off the children's menu ... mommy got me green beans and grilled cheese ... I liked the green beans the best ... I wore my new bumble bee shoes that mommy painted for me and everyone stopped by to check them out ...

I'm standing up more and more now ... but I still can't pull myself up ... mommy or daddy has to help me stand up and about half the time they help me sit back down too, but once I am up it is all me ... I can stand there for quite some time ...

On Wednesday I got to stay home from school and mommy stayed home from work because it was her birthday ... daddy was home too so we all played together all day ... well for part of the day I hung out with just daddy while mommy got a pedicure ... but otherwise it was family play day ... we even ordered pizza for dinner and I tried a little and loved it ...

there isn't anything I won't eat ... every day at school now I get to eat the school lunch and my teachers say I am an awesome eater ... I gobble everything down ... and share a lot of it with my clothes ... mommy brings clean clothes almost every morning for me to change into after lunch ...

Well we are all getting ready to go out to dinner for mommy's birthday so I'll have to write about that next week ... right now I have to go nap so I am ready to party tonight ...

Week Forty-Four

We did go to the park on Saturday ... it was a beautiful day out and Daddy didn't have to work so we walked over to the park behind our house ... it was so much fun ... I went on the swing and rode the bouncy fire truck and daddy took me down the slide ... I had an absolutely great time there ...

On Monday when mommy came to pick me up her teacher had to show her my first incidence report ... I was crawling around and crawled right into a cabinet door ... and got a big goose egg on my forehead ... the teacher said I only cried for a second and that I was much happier with a cold towel than an ice pack on my bump ...

Tuesday I turned 10 months old ... mommy took my picture before school and here it is ...


On Tuesday morning the teacher said, "I was so into telling you about the incedent report that I forgot to tell you about Skye and the baby." (Mommy was a bit worried at first cause at my old school they told her I hit people all the time) ... so the teacher went on to tell mommy "Yesterday the little new baby (He is about 8 weeks old) was in the bouncy seat on the floor and any time he started to cry Skye would stop playing, crawl over to him, get up on her knees and put his paci back in his mouth and rub his tummy until he stopped crying and then she would go back to playing. She did this the whole time he was in the bouncy seat. It was so cute most of the other teachers came by to see her doing it." Mommy welled up she was so happy about the story and I think she has told everyone about it ...

On Wednesday Daddy and Miss Marianne came to pick me up ... I was surprised, mommy is the only one that has ever come to get me before ... so I got to stop by the office and see everyone before riding home with Daddy ... although he had to sign his own incedent report about me ... I fell over on my head while playing ... 2 in one week ... exciting stuff ...

On Friday morning while mommy and i were playing at school before she had to leave for work Sophia's dad told her how she was in the exersaucer and isn't mobile yet and that I kept crawling to the ball pit ... getting a ball and bringing it to her so she could play as well ...

Mommy was very proud of me this week ... that I did so many nice things for other people ... one of Grandmommy's cousins said I was an angel walking on earth.

Week Forty-Three

Daddy had to work on Saturday so Mommy and I spent the day together ... I got to go to Weight Watchers with her first thing in the morning which also means I got to hang out with Granddaddy for a while ... everyone was oohing and aahing over me and I was really really good during the whole meeting ... when we got home mommy and I played in "my" family room all afternoon ... I love having a room that is all mine to roam free in ...

On Sunday we went over to Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house for dinner ... so I got to play with Ellie which just can't be beat ... she is so neat to watch and now I am starting to be able to play with her even if I don't quite understand what we are doing ... of course Grandmommy had a bag of cute clothes to send home with me ... and Aunt Jenny made me peas for dinner which I loved feeding to myself ... those jar peas were horrible but popping real ones into my mouth is so much fun ...

I went to school every day this week too ... which may not sound like a big deal but at my old school I never went all 5 days of a week ... I really do love my new school ... Danielle and Gigi are my friends and I love to play with them ... they are both happy babies like me ...

I still haven't been great about sleeping this week ... Mommy and Daddy think my teeth are bugging me ... which is probably right ... when Mommy sticks her finger in my mouth she says she can feel 6 different teeth working their way in ... but right now all you can see is just a tiny bit of white on my two middle bottom teeth ...

On Friday at school I got to eat the school lunch which I loved and had so much fun with ... veggies and bread and peaches ... we also got to do artwork ... my very first masterpiece ... mommy came right home and framed it ... it is hanging in the kitchen now ... so exciting ...

I think mommy and daddy are going to take me to the park today cause it is so nice out so I'll have to write about that next week ...

Week Forty-Two

The room is finally mine ... all mine ...

On Saturday night we went out to dinner at the diner ... it was so much fun ... Mommy ordered for me off the children's menu ... I got my own plate of green beans which I loved and some mashed potatoes which I HATED ... wow I did not like those at all ... every time mommy gave me a bit I would make a face and even reached into my mouth to pull it out ... I started to think mommy kept giving me some because I was being funny about it ...

after dinner we went to Toys R Us to get some of the baby-proofing items we needed ... bumpers for the table ... stuff like that and I even got my own Snack Traps so I can take Cheerios with me everywhere ...

Daddy went to work on setting up the baby-proofing items and mommy gave me my first cup of Cheerios ... I wasn't too keen on only being able to get one out at a time so I outsmarted everyone ... I pushed the flap down and dumped them out ...

as soon as Daddy was finished with all the baby stuff they shut the gate and let me roam free ... I LOVE IT ... I love going anywhere in the room I want ... my toys are all there for me to play with ... it is just fantastic ... I played all day on Sunday too ...

On Monday I started my new school and I LOVE that too ... it is such a great place ... everyone is so nice there and I love all the kids ... mommy stayed and hung out with me for a while in the morning ... but it didn't matter ... I was making friends as fast as I could ... as soon as someone knew came in I would crawl right up to them and "introduce" myself (which is really just a yelp/scream kinda thing) ... when mommy came to pick me up the teachers said I had a great day and they were right ... mommy and daddy both thought I was like a different child when I got home ... so happy ...

Wednesday I went and saw the ENT in the morning ... of course they all oohed and aahed over me ... and I outsmarted the hearing tech again by knowing it was her talking and not the little animals in the corners of the booth ... they get such a kick out of that ... the doc said I am not 100% better but there is a great improvement in my ears ... much better than last month ... so they are still going to keep an eye on me and see how it is going ... which is a good thing ...

As mommy was taking me to school they called and said they were a bit short handed and could I come later in the day ... mommy decided to just take me to work since it had been ages since I had seen everyone ... they were all so happy to see me ... it was so exciting for me that I hardly slept all day but everyone had fun and isn't that what is important??

On Thursday night after daddy put me in bed I was crying a different kind of cry ... mommy went in to see what was going on and there I was ... standing in my crib for the first time ... got up all by myself ... mommy was so excited ... even got back down on my own too ... it is just a matter of time before I start cruising and walking and then there is no stopping me ...
