O Baby

Here lizard lizard lizard

Thank goodness you didn't wake up until around 8am today. You woke up crying in the middle of the night again and I put you in bed with me. You are a little hard to sleep with. You must be playing football in your sleep because you are all over the bed!
Aunt Cathy, Uncle T, and I went to Cracker Barrel with you for breakfast. You didn't much like the grits but you loved their biscuits. You spit the eggs out again. What's the deal? Have you decided you don't like eggs? You used to love them. Your Mommy did that too though. When she was little she would love something and then all of a sudden she wouldn't eat it any more. One time when she was on her spaghetti kick, she was half way through a plate of it when she announced "I non't yike it". I told her she loves it. Wrong again!
Aunt Cathy found one of the Taco Bell dogs that talk (they were popular a few years ago) This one says, "Here lizard lizard lizard." We have been playing with it around you since we have been here. This morning Aunt Cathy looked at you and said, "Here lizard lizard lizard." You looked at her and said it right back as plain as day!! Aunt Cathy and I stared at each other in amazement. We couldn't believe you did that. Of course you wouldn't do it again no matter what we did. Stinker.
We loaded up the truck and went back to Uncle Tom's. The tarp we had over the furniture split up the middle after about 30 min. Of course, it started to rain then. Traffic was at a standstill. We finally made it back to Tom's. I hope the furniture dries out.
While we unloaded things you went to Grandpa Bob's office and stayed with him. He said you all had a good time. You were going to have dinner with him but he thought we should get on the road before the weather gets bad.
We did. I was so tired. I didn't drive but a couple of hours before I gave up. You had been sleeping. I was so afraid that you wouldn't go back to sleep after I got you out of the car. I couldn't carry you and your porta crib too. Oh joy, this means I have to sleep with you again:) I said a little prayer. I got you in the motel room. I made a bottle. I turned out all the lights and we got in bed. When you finished your bottle you went right to sleep! I was so happy. Thank you.
All my love,
Grandmommy

A Visiting We Go

You woke up about 5am this morning crying. Uncle T got you and put you in bed with me. Thank goodness you went right back to sleep.
When you got up you got to take a bath in Uncle T's kitchen sink. You splashed water all over the floor! You had a good time.
I got you ready and you went to see your Grandpa Bob. Tom said he was very proud carrying you all over his office introducing you to everyone.
Then, we went to Aunt Cathy's. She was so happy to see you. She loves you almost as much as I do. No one except your Mommy and Daddy could love you as much as I do but she comes close:)
We did some shopping. Aunt Cathy and I are pros at this! This time it was for Uncle T. Can you believe it wasn't for you? Don't worry, we do plenty of it for you:)
All my love,
Grandmommy

Shark Bait

We got up early and started on our adventure! We had the truck packed full of stuff for Uncle T. Hopefully his apartment won't be so empty after we get there:)
It is a long drive (360 mi.) and you were so good. You were awake a lot but you just played. I can't believe we are so lucky to have such a good baby.
Uncle T was excited to have us visit him. I think he just wanted me to come so I would bring you. He carried you around like a sack of bread just like your Grandpa Bob used to do your Mommy and him.
We went to dinner at this nice restaurant on the water. You ate most of my salmon. I can't believe how you love fish. The shark in the picture was hanging on the dock outside. You wanted to check everything out! He carried you around everywhere and let you do it too!
We had to wait 1/2 hr. for the restaurant to open. There were lots of birds flying around. We were saying bird and several times you said it too. You don't talk yet but many times you imitate what we say. You are pretty plain sometimes. I can't wait until you can tell us what is going on inside that beautiful head of yours.
All my love,
Grandmommy

You are growing!

Today we went to play with your friend Saundro. I always take my camera everywhere I go. Guess what? Today, I forgot it! I can't believe it. He is so quiet compared to you. I love you constantly talking and always playing. The sounds he made were all very quiet. I bet one of these days real soon you are going to rub off on him!
I fed you some of my sandwich at lunch. I slipped in some olives. Boy, did you make a funny face. The first time I gave them to you, you loved them. The last time you spit them out. Your Mommy and I laughed and laughed at your funny face.
I finally got a picture of you in your new seat. You look like such a big boy sitting in it. You seem to like it a lot better because you can see everything easier.
All my love,
Grandmommy

Piggie Wiggie

It was so good to see you today! It seems like weeks since I saw you last. Mommy started school again today so you got to come play with me. Grandpa had to go to the doctor. You and I went and of course you charmed everyone. They couldn't believe what a good baby you are. Dr. Mileum went to lunch with us after the appointment. You really impressed her the way you were eating like a little piggy. We had sweet potato fries that you loved! You also ate a banana, cucumbers, and some of my tuna steak. You really do love all kinds of fish. A lady in the restaurant stopped to ask how old you were because you were eating so well.
You didn't nap today. Your Mommy and I took you out to run some errands. By the time 5:30 rolled around you could hardly keep your eyes open. Mommy was going to try to keep you awake for at least another couple of hours. I bet she didn't make it :)
All my love,
Grandmommy

Alone Again!

Grandmommy's company finally left. We have had guests for a month now. It seems strange to have the house to ourselves. I was going to go get you but we had drop in guests. They came by boat. We talked for a while and their daughter went down to the dock. She came running back up yelling that their boat was sinking. We went down and sure enough it was taking on water. One of the plugs had been left out, not good! Finally we got the situation remedied. By this time it was evening and a little late to go get you. I called and your Daddy said you weren't feeling good. You have a runny nose. I hope you feel better.
All my love,
Grandmommy

Slow Finshing

Grandmommy got up early this morning to hit a few garage sales with my friends Auntie Christina and Linda. We had a great time. We found some good bargains. I love puzzles and I've always wanted one of those puzzle mats that you can roll the unfinished puzzle up in. I got one for $1.00! I was so excited. I also got a Winnie the Pooh puzzle to do for you. It is very hard because each piece is a separate picture. Maybe I will have it done by the time you are 10:)
When your Mommy was born I was into cross-stitch. I was going to school full time and I also had Uncle T who was only 18 mos. I don't know why I thought I could do a complicated large cross-stitch piece. It was Noah's ark with all the animals. It took me 3 years to complete. By the time I completed it I didn't want those colors in her room! I hope your puzzle doesn't end up like that:)
Your Mommy didn't have to work today. I didn't get to see you:( Don't worry I will remedy that situation tomorrow.
All my love,
Grandmommy

Good Boy

Today we went to lunch and then shopping. You were very tired. I expected you to be fussy but I was very wrong! You are usually good but today you were perfect! Well, that isn't quiet true. You had a ton of gas:) We fed you garlic mashed potatoes. That made for really smelly gas. I guess one day you will grow up and be really, really mad at Grandmommy for telling the whole world that bit of information.
You really were so good though. You just looked around at everything. You didn't cry or fuss at all. I was so proud of you. Evelyn and I bought you a couple of cute outfits. She bought you one with a little tank top to show off your great physique.
Daddy got off early again today. Yeah! You were glad to see him.
Thanks for the really wet kiss you gave me, as you were leaving:)
All my love,
Grandmommy

Generosity

Your Mommy ended up not working today. I decided to go on the dolphin cruise with the Evelyn, Bryan, and Grandpa. We saw lots of dolphins. It was a fun trip. I think I am going to talk Grandpa into going back for the sunset cruise.
I went by to see you before the cruise. You were as cute as ever. I wish I could take you but then I wouldn't be able to take pictures. Don't know which I want more. I guess I will have other chances when you get a little older. Then I can take pictures of you running around on the boat.
When Uncle T was little. Aunt Cathy, & my Mommy went on a cruise around Ft. Lauderdale. As we got off the boat these old ladies were complaining that they had to sit in front of the worst kid on the whole boat. They were talking about Uncle T! Unfortunately they were right. He was an extremely active little boy.

Your Mommy called me just now and said you rode in your new car seat for the first time today. She took you to see your friend Saundro. You took your paci out of your mouth and tried to put it in his mouth! How cute that must have been. I wish I had seen you do that. Even better I would have like to have taken a picture. Oh well, I guess we can't get them all. This picture is what you probably looked like. It is the closest thing I have! I just knew you were going to be a generous one like Uncle T.
All my love,
Grandmommy

Broken Heart

You broke my heart today. I came to see you. Your Mommy handed you to me and you cried for her! Neither of us could believe it. She laughed, I didn't. I am glad you love your Mommy so much though.
I was so excited today because we went to lunch. You always want my drink. I had a soda and you had a fit for it. I let you have it with the straw. You did what you always do and chewed on the straw. Then, all of a sudden you just started to suck on it! It surprised both of us:) Needless to say you had a fit when I wouldn't let you have anymore. It took you so long to learn how to drink out of a sippy cup I thought you would be five before you could drink with a straw.
Your Daddy got off work early today so I didn't get as much time with you:( Sad for me but I was glad you and your Daddy got to spend time together.
