Day 193

Dear Daddy,
I am always in a good mood when i wake up and you are on the computer talking to Mommy. Mommy says I always seem to be in a better mood when I wake up and you are already on the computer.

After we talked to you I took a bath and then we got ready for the day. We had swim class with Miss Laurie today. We had so much fun. I kept jumping into her arms and she thought it was so funny.

After swim lessons we went home and had lunch and played. Mommy all of a sudden got a bad headache so we layed and cuddled on the couch-I watched a movie and Mommy cat napped until it was time to take Lana for her walk.

I love you and miss you so much Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 192

Dear Daddy,
Today we didn't have anything to do so since I kept Mommy up late last night, we slept in until 9:30 when you called. Then we got up and ate breakfast and talked to you for a while. I played with my tools in the bathroom while Mommy took a shower-I fixed my potty since I thought it was broken.

Then we got to play a little bit and then had lunch. After lunch I didn't have to take a nap though! I was so happy. Mommy is going to try to see how I do with no naps to see if I sleep better at night and go to sleep at a decent time.

We went to Jen's house to play with Jessie and Nathan today. One of Jen's friends was there with her little boy too so I had lots of fun. I started getting really cranky about 745 or so. Mommy thinks that with no naps she might have to move my bedtime to earlier.

I love you and miss you so much Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 191

Dear Daddy,
I kept Mommy up late again last night so we slept in today. We had to get up by 9 though so we could get ready for swim lessons.

As you know since you were talking to Mommy when she woke me up, I was a grump. Mommy kept telling me if I would learn how to sleep at night maybe I wouldnt sleep so late and be a grump every morning.

We had a great time at swim lessons. Miss Laurie said I am doing better every lesson with my polar bear arms. I still need to get a little better though. I am trying hard and both Mommy and miss Laurie are so proud of me.

After swim lessons, we had lunch and then played until nap time. After nap Mommy went to the post office to mail out your care packages and then to pick up another bag of Lana's food at the vet. I stayed with Grandma because it was very cold and rainy out today.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 190

Dear Daddy,
Today we woke up and ate breakfast and then talked to you for a bit. Then Mommy put on a movie for me so she could work out for a little bit. Then Mommy made us some lunch. We both had chicken noodle soup and some crackers and fruit. It was so delicious! I had seconds even.

After lunch it was time for nap. When I woke up from my nap and after Grandma got home, Mommy had to go to her dentist appointment.

When she got home we took Lana on her walk. I saw the moon when it was still daylight out! There was also this really mean cat who kept hissing at us and chasing us! Mommy thought it was funny that a cat was chasing two people and a dog.

We had whole wheat pasta and chicken for dinner and then played until bath and bed time.

I love you and miss you so much. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 189

Dear Daddy,

We stayed the night at Amy's last night so when we woke up today I had a great time running around her house. It was fun to be somewhere else and run around.

We left Amy's house about 1 o'clock and went home and ate lunch and played. After Papa woke up from his nap, he took me outside to play while Mommy took a nap. She was so tired. She has been really tired lately. I played outside with Papa for so long while Grandma made tacos for dinner. I liked those tacos. They were good.

Mommy is letting me stay up just a little bit late tonight because I am watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse special where they are taking Choo Choo Express train up to Mistletoe Mountain to bring snow back down the mountain. I love this show.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 188

Dear Daddy,
Today when we got up, Grandma made me breakfast and got me ready because Mommy had an appointment to go look at some apartments that we might move into in January. Mommy said she likes them and thinks we will like them too.

After that she came home and we ate lunch. Then we played until about 3 when we left to go up to Amys. Jen and Jessie and Nate followed us up to Amys and I had such a good time playing with Jessie. We played so nice together. We had Pat & Oscars for dinner. I ate a piece of pizza and some pasta and a breadstick.

After that, we watched Alvin & the Chipmunks and played until Jessie and Nate had to leave. When it was time for them to go, I ran up to Jessie and gave her big hugs and I even gave her kisses. Everyone just thought that was so cute!! Mommy said she emailed you the picture.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 187

Dear Daddy,
Today we were supposed to go play with Jayla and Sadee but they are both sick and my throat was hurting last night so we just stayed home. When we woke up we ate breakfast and then got ready.

Then we went and got the car washed because it was filthy and Mommy has been saying for 2 weeks that she was going to have it washed. Then we got lunch and came home and ate it. Mommy said I was such a good boy at the car wash that I got to pick what we had for lunch and I chose chicken nuggets. So Mommy got me a happy meal at McDonalds with chicken nuggets and apple slices and chocolate milk. It was very good!

Then we took a nap and when we woke up I stayed with Grandma while Mommy went to Walmart to get some stuff.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 186

Dear Daddy,
How are you? We are doing good. Today was a good day. After breakfast we got ready and then played until lunch. Then I had swim lessons.

Today I was the only one in my class so I got Miss Laurie all to myself. We had lots of fun playing.

After we got home, I took a nap with Mommy and then we got up and I had an orange and some water for my snack. After snack, Mommy paid the bills while I played with Grandma. Then we took Lana on her walk. I saw 3 planes on our walk Daddy, 3! I got so excited every time I saw another plane. Mommy said I am the cutest little boy ever.

When we got home from our walk, we had spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner. It was so good! Sorry I wouldn't talk to you after dinner, I was too busy playing with my toys.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 185

Dear Daddy,
Today we slept in yet again because I kept Mommy up late again last night. She doesn't know why I am such a night owl lately.

I loved being able to talk to you this morning though. I miss you Daddy. I love you so much!

For lunch, Mommy made me some of my Dora chicken noodle soup that I have been asking for. I love Dora because of Boots the monkey :)

After lunch Mommy and I took a LONG nap. We both needed it. We woke up refreshed and Mommy let me have some ice cream since I have been asking for some for a few days.

After dinner, we went over to Mommy's friend Jen's house. I got to meet her daughter Jessie, and her son Nathan. I had so much fun playing and Mommy says we can go back over to play next week. All Mommy and her friend did was talk and drink their coffee. They loved watching us play together though.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 184

Dear Daddy,
Today Mommy had to wake me up since I still wasn't up at 9:15. I needed to get up and get ready to go to swim lessons. I missed seeing Miss Laurie last week! She was so happy to see me today!

After swim lessons, we went and got lunch and then went home. Mommy feels so bad about what happened when she went to get me out of the car. She let me out of my carseat and then I started to crawl to the other side so she closed the door and went to the other side to get the stuff out. She didn't realize I was holding on to the door when she opened it (she knew I couldnt open it since the child protection locks are on) and I fell out and fell to the ground on my hands and then my face :( Mommy felt so bad that she cried. She kept saying "it's all my fault" but I told her "its okay Mommy." and gave her lots of kisses. I still love her and I know it was just an accident.



After my nap, Grandma had gotten me a new Blues Clues DVD as a surprise. I loved it! I stayed home with Grandma and watched it while Mommy took Lana to the dog park to meet Aunt Krista and Ashleigh and her dog Sadie to play. Mommy wanted me to go with but I just wanted to watch my new DVD.

We had pizza for dinner and it was so good! I hate 1 1/2 pieces :) Mommy said I am a little piggy.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 183

Dear Daddy,
Today we woke up and did some laundry and ate breakfast and played. Then we had to get ready to go to Mommy's doctor's appointment. I was such a good boy at Mommy's appointment and I just sat in my stroller and played my games on Mommy's phone. Her doctor was so impressed with how smart I was and how well I behaved. She thought I was 4 years old! :) Im such a big boy Daddy!

After Mommy's appointment we went home and I played with Grandma while Mommy went to try to get her flu shot. The two places she tried were out of them so she is going to go to another place on Thursday since they only do them Thursday-Sunday there. If not she is gonna have to wait until her doctor gets more.

Mommy brought home some donuts after and Iloved them! They had orange and black sprinkles on them for Halloween!

Well Daddy, I love you and miss you so so much. Do do Mommy and Lana.


XOXOXOXOXO

Day 182

Dear Daddy,
We didn't wake up until late again today since neither Mommy or I went to bed at a decent time. Mommy says our sleep schedule is just all messed up. We are watching Blues Clues right now and Mommy is trying to get me to sleep.

Today I did a lot of playing with all of my toys and we read a lot of books too. Mommy thinks she might be getting sick so she didn't feel like doing too much today. We did lots of cuddling though. After our nap, Papa took me outside to play so Mommy could fold the laundry and vacuum and clean the bathroom. I helped Papa work on the dune buggy and was such a good helper.

Tomorrow Mommy has a doctors appointment that we have to go to and Tuesday I get to start swim lessons again! Im going to be so excited to see Miss Laurie.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.


XOXOXOXOXO

Day 181

Dear Daddy,
Today we slept in until 10 am again since I didn't go to sleep until almost midnight and Mommy didn't go to bed until almost 3am.

I wouldn't eat breakfast, but I did eat a good lunch. When I was taking a nap Mommy went and returned my train set for another one. The one she bought me yesterday didn't work very well. But I loved the new one she got me because it is motorized. She says she is a bad Mommy b/c she forgot to take pictures of me playing with it today. She said she just has so much on her mind that the littlest things slip. She is sorry Daddy.

I had some soup and some strawberries for dinner. I LOVE strawberries now!

I love you and miss you so much Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana!

XOXOXOXOXO

Alexander

Day 180

Dear Daddy,

Those are some pictures Mommy forgot to show you. The last two are of me and Dave and Tiffany's daughter Katelyn playing at the bbq at Amy's house when Ben and Kristy and Addy were here.


Today we slept in until 10:30 can you believe it? That is because I kept Mommy up until 1am! 1am!!! Mommy had no idea why I was up so late. She thinks its probably because the last few nights she was at the doctors so late and I was up worried about where she was. Luckily both nights Grandma was able to console me and get me back to sleep.

Today Mommy got me a train set! I love it. She knew I liked trains because every time I see one on TV i get so excited and start yelling "choo choo train". She forgot to take some pictures of me playing with it tonight, but she said she will this weekend for you to see. And she said since we didn't go to swim lessons this past week she promises to get pictures and video of me next week.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 179

Dear Daddy,

I love you so much Daddy. Today we slept late since Mommy was at the ER until almost 2 and i didnt go to bed until almost 1.

Aunt Amy brought us lunch from Rubios today. It was really good. I took a good nap and didn't want to come out of the room when I woke up. I just wanted to play in the room so Mommy let me and I came out about 10 minutes later.

Mommy and I cuddled and watched some tv later in the afternoon and then we had dinner and played until you got online. I miss you Daddy..

I can't wait for you to come home. We all miss and love you so much Daddy.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 178

Dear Daddy,
Mommy wasn't feeling well today so we didn't do much again. We watched some movies and cuddled a lot. I love cuddling with Mommy.

Tomorrow Mommy has to go to the doctor so she said we have to get up early. I don't like getting up early, but Mommy is hoping that I won't be too grumpy.

Grandpa made me lunch today when he was home on his lunch break. It was good. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some strawberries too. Then when he got home from work he took me outside and we played for a couple of hours until dinner.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 177

Dear Daddy,
Mommy wasn't feeling well today so she laid down all day and Grandma stayed home and took care of me.

I had lots of fun with Grandma and I was quiet when Mommy was sleeping. Mommy was so proud of me.

I had soup for lunch because I asked Grandma for soup and then I had some strawberries as well. Mommy said she wishes I would have liked strawberries sooner because now they are almost out of season. I used to not like strawberries she said. Then all of a sudden I decided I liked them.

Grandma made some good basil pasta and chicken for dinner. It was very good!

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Alexander

Day 176

Dear Daddy,

How are you? I am doing good.

Today was a pretty boring day. Didn't do much. It was cold and drizzly all day so we played inside most of the day. Mommy and I cuddled and watched a movie together too. It was nice. Mommy said she likes it when I cuddle with her.

We had a good lunch today. Chicken, whole wheat pasta with Parmesan cheese and strawberries. Mommy tried making some broccoli as well but I wouldn't even try it.

After nap we took Lana for her walk and it started sprinkling so we headed back home after about 30 min.

I love you and miss you Daddy! Oh I forgot to tell you. tonight after my bath Mommy and I were playing hide and seek and Mommy layed on the floor and I went up and peed on her head! She was so grossed out and Aunt Krista was laughing so hard.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 175

Dear Daddy,
Today was just a relaxing day. We didn't have much planned. Mommy likes to have a relaxing day on the weekend since we are usually so busy during the week.

We woke up at ate breakfast like always and then we played and then got ready for the day. I had some pizza for lunch and Mommy ran to the store while I stayed with Grandma and ate my lunch. Mommy picked up some orange juice and lots of fruit full of vitamin C so we can try to stay healthy and keep away the flu this winter. I love strawberries and I will even eat oranges now so Mommy was happy about that. She is doing her best to keep us healthy.

When Mommy got home we watched the race for a bit until nap time. Mommy ended up taking a nap with me since she was tired. When we woke up we just started watching the race again and Mommy started screaming because Denny wrecked. She was so upset! I just kept yelling "go Denny!". Mommy was pretty mad.

I had a good day just playing with my toys and Mommy and I played hide and seek.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 174

Dear Daddy,
I slept pretty well last night so Mommy was happy about that. When we woke up today Mommy reminded me we were going to the pumpkin patch today. I was so excited so I immediately jumped out of bed and ran out to the living room. I then started screaming to Mommy that I wanted "affles(waffles), sausage and donuts". She gave me a waffle and sausage. She told me she only lets me have waffles so often because they are whole wheat waffles and they have lots of fiber in them.

We got ready and headed off to the pumpkin patch. Mommy said she already sent you all of the pictures and you saw them so I am not going to post them on here because I don't know where Mommy put the camera.

I got to see mini horses that Mommy kept calling ponies. She doesn't know what she is talking about though. They were horses. I also saw some baby chickens and baby goats and baby rabbits. I almost got stung by a bee but Grandpa grabbed it off of me and got stung on his finger. Grandpa sure must love me.

I picked out all the pumpkins for us and had lots of fun. After we were there for a couple hours we left and went and got lunch and went home. I took a late nap since I didn't finish eating until almost 2:30. We just hung out at home the rest of the night and played. I made Papa and Grandma hamburgers out of my playdoh set.

I love you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 173

Dear Daddy,
Today we went to the park to play. We met up with one of Mommy's old high school friends Laura and I played with her two daughters Jayla and Sadie.

I had a great time. I was a big boy and listened to Mommy when she told me to be careful. I got mad when it was time to leave. We went home and had lunch and then took a nap.

After nap Mommy went and got her haircut and I stayed home and played with Grandma. We had lots of fun playing with my chalk outside.

Mommy got us Rubio's for dinner and I ate all of mine.

Tomorrow we are going to the Pumpkin Patch with Papa & Grandma and Mommy promised she will take lots of pictures for you.

I love yo and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Day 172

Dear Daddy,

Today I woke up in a not so great mood. Mommy isn't sure why since I slept wonderful last night. I didn't beg to come into you and Mommy's bed until about 6am.

I had a small breakfast since on Thursdays we have lunch a little bit early so we had to go to swim lessons at 12 and then come home for nap. I did so good at my swim lessons. Mommy promises she will take more videos and pictures on Tuesday at our next lesson.

After nap we played with playdo and then took Lana on her walk. I had a good time and got to meet another doggy along the way.

Grandma and Mommy weren't feeling well tonight so Mommy went and got us Burger King for dinner. It was so good!

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 171

Dear Daddy,
I slept horribly last night. Mommy isn't sure why. She thinks maybe my 2nd molars are trying to come in again because I keep chewing on my fingers. She is hoping I sleep better tonight so she can get some rest. She has been really tired lately because all of her energy is going to the baby.

We didn't do much this morning. Just hung out at home and played inside because it was pretty chilly outside. After lunch and nap Mommy paid the bills and then we took Lana for her walk. I was laughing at Lana a lot because she kept stopping dead in her tracks and wouldn't move. Mommy didn't find this too funny though. I dunno why because I sure couldn't stop laughing.

When we got home I threw a fit because I didn't want to come inside, but Mommy had lots of laundry to fold so Grandma took me back outside. I threw another fit because I didn't want to put my jacket on but I finally gave in. I guess it was pretty cold outside.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Alexander

Day 170

Dear Daddy,

Today was a swim lesson day. We woke up and ate breakfast and then got ready to go. I did so good today and did my polar bear arms really well. Miss Lori was so proud of me. After that we got lunch and went home and ate.

After my nap we went to the grocery store to get a few things and then went to Gymboree for free play. Mommy got me a new Gymbo beach ball since Mickey popped mine playing with it. She saw how upset I got when Mickey popped it so she new I had to have a new one.

When we got home I stayed with Grandma because I kept throwing fits and she went and took Lana for her walk.

Mommy said she is 5 weeks pregnant today and that my little brother or sister is growing in her tummy. I can't wait to have a little brother or sister.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Alexander

Day 169

Dear Daddy,

Today we didn't have much planned. We have a pretty busy week the rest of the week with swim lessons and play dates so we just relaxed at home and played today.

Mommy was happy because it was chilly today and she got to dress me in long sleeves and pants. She put my new Halloween shirt on it says "I love my Mummy".


I thought it was fun to wear a long sleeve shirt because I could pull it off easier.

Mommy had to take Lana to the vet and they checked her weight again and they did a blood test to check her thyroid Mommy said. Daddy what is a thyroid?

After they got back from the vet, Mommy, Lana and I went on a walk. You called during the middle of our walk so Mommy was happy about that. Mommy is happy that it is getting cooler again so we can start walking earlier and not having to wait until later in the day.

I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.



XOXOXOXOXO

Day 166-168

Dear Daddy,
Sorry I haven't written since you left again. I have just been getting used to you being gone again.

Friday we went to Aunt Amy's for a bbq since Kristy & Ben & Addy were in town visiting. I had lots of fun and played with lots of different kids. I even got to meet David and Katelyn and Dave and Tiffany. I had lots of fun playing with Katelyn. She is only a few months older than me Mommy said.

Saturday we didn't do much. Mommy thinks she did too much chasing me around on Friday night. Everyone kept leaving the doors open at Aunt Amy's so I kept trying to run out front towards the street. Mommy didn't let me out of her sight. So she thinks she did too much running around and was feeling some pains that were bothering her a little and was feeling really exhausted. We took a nap together that day an then after nap I went and played outside with Grandma and Papa and Aunt Krista while Mommy relaxed a little more.

Today we played a lot and we ate lunch outside while we watched the planes and helicopters from the airshow fly overhead. I had a grilled cheese for lunch and I ate all of it. It was delicious. While I took a nap, Mommy went grocery shopping and Grandma listened for me to get up. Mommy got me some animal crackers as a surprise. They were very good. Tonight we played outside some more and it was pretty chilly out. I had to put my jacket on. Grandma took me on a walk and then we came in and ate dinner.

I love you and miss you Daddy. Mommy says she hopes you are home this month and so do I! Mommy and Lana love and miss you too.

XOXOXOXOXO

Love
Alexander
