Happy Mother's Day...

To all of you mommies, I hope you have a very Happy Mother's Day. My mommy was sick with a stomach flu bug and fever yesterday. She's feeling better today, but still not 100%. She's really hoping that I don't get sick. So, we're not doing too much to celebrate mommy's first mother's day. Maybe we'll do something another day when she's feeling better. Daddy did a great job taking care of me while mommy rested. He's such a good daddy - mommy and I are lucky to have him.

Yesterday we had Grandpa & Grandma Dahlstrom and Brent & Amy at our house to celebrate Brent's birthday. Mommy was a party pooper since she wasn't feeling well, so I had to tell her all about the party. We grilled steaks and I got her an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen for Mother's Day. I wish she could have joined the party but there is cake left, and they saved her a steak, so she'll try and have some later today.

That's all for now - if you could say an extra prayer that I don't catch the stomach bug I would appreciate it. Thank you!

Checkin' in...

Just thought I'd check in and give you a quick update. Not a whole lot going on at our house the past couple days. Grandma Dahlstrom worked really hard while she stayed at our house and got a lot of things done around our house that mommy and daddy don't have a lot of time to get done now. She was a big help while she was here.

Last night daddy put me to bed and I slept for 5 hours straight! Usually I sleep for 4 hours, so when mommy woke up and it had been 5 hours she jumped out of bed to make sure I was ok. I was just sleepin' away. I don't know what she was so worried about! Mommies just worry a lot I guess.

It's been such nice weather outside, mommy said we'll take the stroller on a short walk soon. She can't walk too far yet after her surgery, but is ready to get outside! Today we went to Wal-Mart. That was my first shopping trip. Mommy needed to get some groceries and I made sure she picked up formula for me. =) Tonight she took me outside for a little while and I met some of my neighbors. They sure think I'm cute...I must admit, I get that all the time! =) Ha! Ha!

Well daddy will be home from work soon, so I'm going to get ready to snuggle with him. We're celebrating uncle Brent's birthday this weekend and mommy's first mother's day, so I'll be sure to tell you all about that. Have a good weekend!

Out and about...

It was a night of firsts for me. Tonight was daddy's first softball game and I got to go. I didn't see much of the game because I was sleeping, but it was fun to go anyway. Then, after we got home and mommy, daddy and grandma had supper, we had to go to the basement because tornado sirens were going off in Marion. I had never even been down in our basement before!

Well, I need to get ready for bed and I'm kind of crabby so I better go.
Good night. XOXOX

Silly puppy...

My puppy Marlie is so silly. She was trying to get me to play with her and her stuffed bunny today. I wasn't sure what the heck I was supposed to do with it, but at least she is willing to share her toys with me. =)

Then, this afternoon when mommy was feeding me she snatched my pacifier. She still thinks she's the baby.



Today I went to the dr because I have a really white tongue. Mommy wanted to see if I had thrush or if it's formula stained. Turns out it's a little of both, so they gave me some medicne to take care of the thrush. I was a little stinker at the dr office. I didn't make it easy on mommy. I pooped in my diaper right before they wanted mommy to take it off to weigh me, then I was hungry so I screamed through most of the check. Once the dr was done and mommy could get me a bottle I was a happy little man. Good news is I'm gaining weight well, and I'm healthy.

Today was daddy's first day back at work. I missed having him home with us, and I know he missed me, but he has to work, and lucky for everyone he does enjoy his job. So, even though he loves to spend time with me, he was ready to get back to work. I can't wait for him to get home tonight though so we can snuggle!

Grandma Dahlstrom is staying with us some this week to help out mommy and daddy. She's already been a big help!

Well that's all for now....thanks for reading!

XOXOXO

Big weekend....

I had such a busy weekend! We celebrated my mommy's 30th birthday on Saturday. Some people say that she's over the hill, but I don't think my mommy is old. =)

Saturday afternoon mommy's friend Kati came to meet me. Then, Saturday night Grandma Dahlstrom, Great Aunt Peggy, Ashley and Matt came down to spend the night and visit me. Sunday, Grandpa, Grandma, and my Great Grandma Cota came down to visit. It's always fun to have family come and snuggle and spoil me. I'm lucky to have so many people that love me so much! I loved all the attention I got from everyone, and now I'm tired! I better go and rest up! XOXOX

Quick update...

Good news - my cord fell off last night! Mom was so happy about that. Now I have the cutest little belly button. =)

Last night I didn't really want to go to bed. I stayed up until 3:00 a.m. with daddy. He was ready for bed, but I thought I might miss out on something, so I stayed awake. Then, when he was changing me I peed all over and needed clean jammies. Mom got up to find me pjs and I had them on no more than 30 seconds and I spit up all over them. Isn't that funny! Mommy and daddy laughed - not because they really thought it was funny, but because it was almost - unbelieveable!! =) I was on a ROLL!! Good thing I went to sleep after I got clean jammies on - AGAIN. And slept for 4 hours, woke up to get clean unders, my tummy full and back to sleep for another 4 hours. I thought I better go easy on them after my earlier stunts I pulled.

That's all - XOXOX

Another day...

Well today was another busy day for us. I'm still being a very good boy for mom and dad, letting them get a good nights sleep.

Today I got to give my bouncy seat a try. I really, really like it. It has pretty blue lights and plays music and rain forest sounds. I had fun sitting in there, and hope I get to play in there again soon.

Oh - guess what! A few days ago mommy called the dr office because I hadn't gone poop for over a day. They told her to give me some milk of magnesia. So she gave me one dose for 2 days, and now daddy is teasing her because I've been having several poopy diapers. Ha! Ha! Dad says it's karma, because some how I always poop when it's mommy's turn to change me. Now mommy's going to wait before she gives me any more of that stuff, and see if my system got straightened out on its own. If not, I'll have to take some more, but I really don't like that stuff. I scrunch my face up and spit out a lot of it - it's nasty, but apparently it works. =)

Tonight is bath night for me again. Marlie got also got a bath this morning. So, as of right now mom and I are the only 2 who didn't get a bath yet today and we both need one.

Well that's all I have to share for today. I hope you had a good day! XOXOX
