Mom is okay. She’ll be in recovery for the next hour…

Mommy’s at the hospital!!!

Daddy said Mommy was up early this morning and didn’t sleep well. I spent the night at Grandma & Grandpa’s house in my Tiger tent! I was exhausted last night!

This is it, I guess. I am off to Grandma and Grandpa’s house tonight so Mommy and Daddy can get a good nights rest and get up early to go to the hospital. Mommy has to be there by 7:30am! Baby Brother should be here around 9 or 9:30 in the morning. Mommy is very emotional today and I haven’t been helping but we are all getting through it.

Tomorrow I will be a BIG BROTHER!!!! YEAH???

Lost Pictures

Mommy hadn’t used her camera since before Christmas and when she downloaded the pictures she came across these pictures of Daddy and I making a HUGE mess in the kitchen.

Daddy has just done a water change in the fish tank and was cleaning out the bucket. He called me in and showed me what happened if I blew on a hose full of water. I got pretty good at making the water jump out of the hose.

As you can see, Daddy was MUCH better though!

Then we turned our little game into “LET’S SOAK MOMMY!!!” Mommy didn’t like that game. But the kitchen was soaking wet anyway. This was a LOT of fun and seeing how frustrated the water all over the place made Mommy made me giggle even more, Daddy too!

Last few days as an only child…

So we are in the home stretch and this is my last weekend as an only child. Mommy and Daddy wanted to do something special for me today because tomorrow Grandma Susie is watching me for most of the day. This was the last real day for a family of three outing! We ended up leaving the house around 8am and heading to Clearwater Beach, isn’t that were everyone goes in mid-January? I was excited…. very excited! I was jumping around the house screaming “BEACH BEACH BEACH… YEAH We Going to the BEACH!!!!”

Daddy helping me with my sand toys as we built a few small castles.

I was in high gear and running practically the entire time we were there!

Daddy showed me how to make “sand angels” since snow angels were pretty much out of the question.

I decided I was a wrecking crew and knocked over all the sandcastles Daddy had built for me!

Mommy sat still too long and Daddy and I buried her feet in the sand!

Then I wanted to go see the “ocean!” Mommy explained it is the Gulf of Mexico but I didn’t care! Daddy took me down to the water, rather I took Daddy! The water was a bit chilly but that didn’t bother me!
