Month: November 2007

Well, the first point on my first second-molar (is that confusing to read??) is almost through. I am a total pill. I still go from happy to mega-cranky in 2.1 seconds! It is driving Mommy & Daddy nuts so I am enjoying it! In between my cranky episodes Mommy & Daddy said I am very cute and sweet. Some of the fun things Mommy can help me recall from this week:

1) Picking leaves, flowers and weeds to feed to a ceramic frog that is out front of the house. I also gave the from a few sticks to play with.

2) Laying on the sofa next to Mommy with my hand on her tummy and telling my baby brother it is time to come out and play! I also like to give him zerberts! (only about 9 weeks and he will be here, YEAH!)

3) Taking off my pajama bottoms 3 nights in a row and insisting that the sippy cup got them wet… Mommy said thank-goodness I didn’t remove the diaper!

4) Making pancakes and cookies with Daddy… I like to stir.

Just to let you all know that it is officially been 2 years since I started my blog! So that makes me ALMOST 2 and a half!!! GO ME!

This weekend I spent the morning at the park with Daddy, Mommy and Grandma Susie. We had a blast playing on the playground and running all around. We got to see the bike riders come by for the Ironman race. I cheered and clapped for a lot of them. It was rather neat to see so many people on bikes whizzing by as I sat in my stroller. Grandma Susie and I made a pile of pine needles and I pretended they were a bed and I curled up inside and pretended to take a nap.

At the end of our neighborhood picnic Grandma Susie took me home for a nap and I wanted to read a book. She gave me a puzzle book to take to nap time that I had just got from a recent trip to Orlando. Shortly after Mommy got home she came in to get me from my nap but she heard me giggling and opted to let me giggle for a few minutes. Mommy finally came in and I was all colored red! My book apparently had a marker for maze puzzles and I got bored with the puzzles and opted for a Breighton re-coloring. It all washed off and thankfully I didn’t color on anything that got in into trouble.

Mommy has been taking a lot of photos on her iPhone lately but has been too lazy to download them for me to blog. SO this is just a random post of things I have done in the last few weeks.

This was me at the Mickey Not So Scary Halloween Party. I got to ride a LOT of rides since the crowds weren’t too big. I enjoyed the carrousel a LOT.

Me playing with Legos… I can literally spend HOURS playing with the little pieces. Don’t mind the monkey outfit… I really like wearing it!

I have learned a new playground skill. I am learning how to climb the rock wall. I will only go a few feet up but I really have fun doing it!

This was at the car dealership. My CD player broke and Mommy and I spent a lot of time waiting. I spun in circles for a long time, oddly I don’t get dizzy. Mommy questions if I am her son? She gets motion sick just watching me!

I have really enjoyed the cooler weather lately. Mommy & Daddy took me to the playground where I spent MOST of my time making a HUGE pile of pine needles.

Then I enjoyed jumping into them. Funny, I don’t think I have ever “seen” anyone jump in a pile of yard debris but yet I felt totally compelled to dive right in!

It made me VERY happy!

I did hide my pine cones, that I found in the field, under my huge pile.

Here they are. I think I will go roll them down the slide!!! Great Idea!!!!

Through this tunnel and then down the slide!

I went to ANOTHER park with Mommy. I really enjoy swinging like a monkey on the bars.

I made a new friend, Joanie (5y/o). We ran all over and looked in all the holes and played in all the bushes. She is very earthy like me.

We even climbed on rocks together. What a cutie! I really like playing with the older kids at the playground!

In other news… my moods have been up and down… mainly down lately. I have been aggressive and disobedient, but mainly towards Mommy. We had a few rough patches but today I am feeling a LOT better. My teeth are really bugging me and I don’t know why my impulse control is non-existent but I go from happy to miserable in 2 seconds!

Mommy hopes it all passes in the near future because it has been a challenge for the whole family. Thanks for all the advise from my friends and family that have helped get Mommy through these last few days.

Today was a wonderful day. I got to go for a LONG walk with Mommy while she delivered newsletters to the neighborhood. We used a map and went “orienteering” to find the park. I made a few wrong choices in directions but I was really skilled at knowing where we were on the map. I really like maps! We found the playground on the map and went to the jungle gym. I suddenly LOVE slides and was very brave on the playground equipment. Mommy had a fun time watching me roll pine cones down the slides.

I ran around on the tennis courts until I could run no more! Daddy met up with us with the car and we went to Costco and Target to wander around for a bit. Then headed off to the Dunedin Art Harvest. It was a ZOO but we had a great time. I liked looking at all the different mediums that people made animals out of (wood, glass, photos, paint, metal and ceramics). We were all tired and decided to head home.

Mommy said she wasn’t going to make me take a nap today in hopes that I get a good nights sleep. Well, I fooled her… we were in the car heading home and I fell asleep in mid-sentence. Mommy and Daddy drove up and got ice cream while I napped.

When we got home (45 minutes later) I was just waking up and a bit groggy so it took me a while to boot up. Daddy was working on some signs for next weekend and I was playing on the floor of Mommy & Daddy’s bedroom while he worked(Mommy had run outside to look at a completed sign). I got up and wanted to “measure” Daddy with the tape measure. Well, I got a BIT excited and whacked my head into the corner of the dresser! I started to cry pretty hard as Daddy comforted me and screamed for Mommy. When Mommy came running into the room I cuddled into her arms. I was crying really hard. Then I threw up… a LOT. Mommy finally got me calmed down and cleaned up. So then it was “check Breighton for bumps and pupil dilation” to make sure I didn’t have a concussion. Well, I answered all Mommy’s questions that she drilled me with. There was only an eraser size bump on my forehead. I was back to normal within just a few minutes.

Mommy said she doesn’t really like being thrown up on so much this month. I don’t blame her. It is yucky.

Well, I am fine now and it is a while before bed so Mommy & Daddy can keep watching to make sure I am okay. They think the only reason I got sick was that I got upset and still have a bit on a lingering cough from being sick… so it was just a rough situation for me.

Good thing about the whole BUMP is that for the rest of the night I will be treated even more special than I always am treated. hehe.

Maybe I can have TWO desserts!?? Ya’ think??
