2010-03-08T20:30:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Saturday Lana and I went to Papa and Grandma's house so Mommy could go with Amy to Ikea. I had a great time playing and running around in the background with Aunt Krista and the dogs. I had a quesadilla for lunch and was a good boy. Mommy was happy that I got a good report when she got home. Then we headed home so we could get online to talk to you.

Sunday we spent the whole day at home. It rained so we couldn't go outside to play. We stayed inside and played. Mommy cleaned and did the laundry and we colored some too. I love you Daddy.

Monday we didn't have many plans and it rained again so we couldn't go outside again :( I was a good boy though and we played with all of my toys all day.

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

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Dear Daddy,

Wednesday we spent the day at home. Mommy cleaned the house and I played with my toys and of course helped her clean. She even let me have one of her cleaning gloves to wear so I could be like her. :) After cleaning we ate lunch and played and then I took a nap. After nap, Papa and Grandma came over to see me. I had a good time playing with them. Papa helped Mommy kill a big black widow spider in the garage. You know how Mommy is afraid of spiders. After they left we ate dinner, took a bath and then I went to bed.

Thursday we had swimming lessons. Miss Lori asked Mommy to sit on the other side of the pool because I seem to do better when Mommy isn't right where I am. Mommy is a little sad about this, but I don't mind. I had fun playing with my friends in my class. Then we went home and ate lunch and then i took a nap. Mommy worked out while I took a nap and then we played until dinner time. After dinner it was bath time and then bed time.

Today we went to the grocery store to get a few things and then went home and ate lunch. Then Mommy took a nap with me because she had a headache. Then when we got up you were online so Mommy talked to you and I played. Then we went to dinner with Papa and Grandma and Uncle Curt.

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

Dear Daddy,

How are you?

Monday we had to go to the doctors office. Mommy had some concerns about diabetes and the way my hands were shaking. Dr. Barr did a test for my blood sugar and that was good so no diabetes..yay! He also did some tests on my arms/hands and he said everything looks good and told Mommy a few things to watch for just in case things change. Since I was such a good boy I got a sticker and a lollipop and Dr. Barr gave me a high five! I like him and so does Mommy. She said he always goes over everything in detail with her and reassures her that everything is okay.

Today we had swim lessons. Today was the first day Mommy didn't sit on the side of the pool. Since Miss Lori thinks that I was doing better when Mommy wasn't there she suggested Mommy sit away from the pool and just watch. I was such a big boy and was doing a lot better using both my arms instead of just one. Miss Lori said I am definitely making progress. This afternoon we made a count down chain to count down the days until you come home. I can't wait!

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

Dear Daddy,

How are you? I miss you.

Friday Mommy and I went to Walmart and Costco. I had fun and got samples and stuff. Mommy bought me a new Cars toilet seat. I love it. After shopping we went home and ate lunch and then took a nap. After nap we went and played on the patio.

Saturday Mommy took me to Jessie's house to play. Then she went and helped Papa and Grandma move into their new house. After a few hours of playing with Jessie, Mommy came and picked me up and I went with her back to Papa and Grandmas. I got to run around and play in the backyard with the doggies. I had lots of fun!

Today Mommy and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things, then we came home and ate lunch. Then Mommy took a nap with me because she had a headache. After nap Mommy let me have some ice cream for lunch and we played with my toys and games until dinner.

Dear Daddy,

Wednesday we woke up and played and had breakfast. Then we got ready and Amy invited us to go to lunch with her so we did. It was yummy we went to Chilis and Mommy and I shared some quesadillas. Yum!

Then we went home and it was time for nap so I took a nap and Mommy got some things done. When I woke up we went out on the patio and played until dinner time. I threw a fit when it was time to come in and eat dinner. Mommy wishes I wouldn't do that.

After dinner I picked out a movie and I watched it until bed time.

Thursday we got up and ate breakfast and got ready for swim class. I did so well today. Miss Lori thinks it would be best if Mommy didn't sit on the side of the pool anymore. When she would take me away to swim away from Mommy I did a lot better. So starting next week Mommy isnt going to be putting her feet in. I think that makes Mommy more sad than me.

After lunch and nap we played outside on the patio again. There were a few helicopters flying around and I loved watching them.

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

Day 310

2010-02-23T21:11:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
Today I had swimming so after we got up and had breakfast we got ready to go. I got there and was having a hard time adjusting. Mommy thinks it was because Miss Lori had been gone the week before and not only that, but the pool was so busy today! Everyone is starting their lessons again. Mommy had said this was going to be the last set of lessons, but she said she is going to go ahead and do another set of lessons so you can go when you get home :)

After swimming we went home and ate lunch. I had a grilled cheese and some fruit and Mommy had a turkey wrap and some fruit. It was yummy!

After lunch I couldn't take a nap because we had to take Lana to the vet. She was due for her shots. I was not a good boy for Mommy at the vet. I was not listening at all. She was not happy with me, but hey I'm 2 1/2 what do you expect? :)

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

Dear Daddy,

I'm sorry that I haven't posted pictures in a while. Mommy said she has so much going on she just hasn't had the time to get the pictures from the camera onto the computer. She says she will try very soon.

Today we went up to play with David and Katie. I had a great time! We got to play on the playground and jump on the trampoline too. We had quesadillas for lunch and they were yummy!

Then when we left their house we went to Target to get me some new shoes and to get a birthday present for Jackson. We are going to his birthday party on Sunday. It should be lots of fun. I can't wait.

I gave Mommy a little bit of a hard time going to bed tonight, so she gave me a little water and I was fine and fell asleep.

2010-02-18T21:34:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

I hate that we don't get to talk to you every day anymore :( It makes me very sad. But Mommy said you will be home soon so that is all that matters. I can't wait to go play at the park with you and play with my cars with you.

Monday we went to Pump It Up with Jessie, Nate and Jennifer. I had lots of fun again! Except all of these older kids were being really rough and pushing us littler kids out of the way. Luckily our Mommies stuck up for us. :) Then we went out to lunch to McDonalds with them and then went home for nap.

Tuesday we had swimming, but I was very unhappy because Miss Lori wasn't there and wouldn't be there all week. She is on vacation. I didn't have a good lesson at all because I didn't feel safe with the teacher. So Mommy decided to talk to the ladies at the front desk and tell them the situation so they said it was just fine that we wait til next week when Miss Lori comes back. They were very understanding.

Wednesday Mommy spent all morning cleaning cleaning cleaning. She said she wants to keep our house as clean as possible! I make it hard for her though with all of my toys always ending up all over the place, but she doesn't mind them too much. After my nap we went to see Papa and Grandma's new house. I had a great time running around in their backyard. Its big and I have lots of room to play!

Today Mommy's new computer got delivered and we played some games on it and did some laundry. Papa came over this afternoon to visit since he was busy all yesterday when I was at their house. He wanted to hang out with me-he misses me. We had spaghetti for dinner and I gave Mommy a rough time at bed time. I just miss you. I can't wait for you to tuck me in Daddy.

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

2010-02-14T21:26:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Its been a busy few days so I haven't had time to write to you. On Thursday we didn't go to swimming because I was sick. I had a runny nose and was coughing a lot. Mommy doesn't like me getting in the water when Im congested because sometimes I get too much water and it makes me cough too much. So we stayed at home, but were very busy because I was wearing my big boy underwear all day. I didn't have any accidents until the afternoon. I was playing in my room and was so busy playing that I forgot to tell Mommy I had to go to the bathroom. Then Jessie and Nate came over and I got so busy playing with them, I had another accident.

Friday I wore my big boy underwear again at home and Mommy did a lot of laundry and cleaning. Then Friday afternoon we went to Papa and Grandma's for a bit. Then Mommy, me, Papa and Grandma went to Chilis for dinner. I didn't eat much of my dinner. Mommy said from now on she won't get me my own meal because half of it ends up getting wasted. We took it home along with the rest of Mommys dinner.

Saturday we went to Samantha's birthday party. She had a jumpy thing and I had so much fun jumping in it. I got to get candy from a pinata too. I had lots of fun! Then we went home to eat dinner and we ate the rest of our dinner from Chilis out on the patio while we watched the sunset. I started getting fussy and Mommy knew it was because I didn't nap so she went ahead and got me in the bath and ready for bed. I threw a fit most of the time. I fell asleep about 7 because I was so tired.

Sunday we woke up and it was pretty warm out so Mommy decided we would go to the pool. The family pool was so cold so we decided to go in the lap pool since it is heated. There was nobody in there swimming laps so Mommy decided it was okay to swim in it. I had fun and then we had to go home and eat lunch. Mommy had a headache after lunch so we ended up taking a nap.

I'm excited about tomorrow. We get to go see Jessie and go to Pump It Up again!

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

Dear Daddy,

Tuesday I had swimming lessons and I had a good time with Miss Lori. Then Mommy and I got lunch and went home and ate it and then it was time for me to take a nap. Mommy worked out while I napped and then we played. Then Papa and Grandma came over and Papa put together my dresser and I played with Grandma while Mommy helped Papa. I was upset when they had to leave though.

Wednesday morning we had to get up really early to take Sissy to the doctor. She had to get her teeth cleaned. I got so upset when they took her back. I thought they were taking her from us. I cried and cried and cried. I missed Lana all day and couldn't wait to go get her. After lunch and nap we headed to Papa and Grandmas. Mommy was leaving me there while she went to get Lana from the doctors. I was so excited to see them when they got home! I missed Lana!

Then we stayed at Papa and Grandma's and had dinner and I played for a little bit. Then we went home and I went to bed. I woke up about 10pm crying because my nose was all stuffed up. I couldn't fall back to sleep because I was stuffy so we went and watched tv on the couch and we both fell asleep. I love cuddling with Mommy.

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

Day 295

2010-02-08T21:31:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we went to play with David and Katie at their house on base. We had so much fun. I threw a fit for about the first hour over every little thing. Mommy wasn't sure what was wrong with me because I usually don't act that way. We went to the park and I threw a fit about little things there and then we went back to their house and I kept throwing a fit there too. We were about to leave because Mommy didn't think it was fair to put them through my fits. I finally calmed down.

Then we had lunch and then after we ate our sandwiches we went out in their backyard and played on their trampoline. We had lots of fun and even the dogs tried to come play with us! We went back inside to play after a little while and had a great time.

We left their house about 3 to beat the traffic, but of course we ran into some on the 78.

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

Days 293-294

2010-02-07T21:35:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
We had a pretty relaxed weekend here. Saturday we slept in and then Papa and Grandma came over to play and they watched me while Mommy ran to the grocery store. It was raining outside and Mommy didn't want to drag me out in the rain to do the shopping and it needed to be done.

Then when Mommy got home Papa and Grandma had to go home and Mommy and I ate lunch and then took a nap. Mommy got some things done while I napped. It continued to rain all day so we couldn't go outside to play, but we had lots of fun playing indoors.

Sunday Mommy had lots to do. She cleaned a lot and did some laundry. Then after my nap we took Lana for her walk and we found a new spot that overlooks the lake. We will have to go show it to you when you get home. After our walk we took Lana back home and then went to the playground. There were lots of little kids there with their Mommys. I guess all of the Daddys were watching the Super Bowl. I met a little girl about my age named Jen and we had fun playing. Her Mommy and my Mommy exchanged phone numbers so hopefully we can all get together for a playdate soon.

Then we had to go home to eat dinner. Mommy made chicken and some brown rice and veggies. It was very good but of course I only ate the cucumbers out of the veggies. :o)

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

Dear Daddy,

On Wednesday Mommy and I went to the grocery store to pick up some toilet paper and some batteries. We needed "C" batteries because my new vacuum that Mommy got me. It has a hose and everything so now I can really help Mommy vacuum. Then after we got back we had lunch and then I took a nap.

Mommy ordered pizza for dinner because she took a nap with me because she had a headache and we didn't wake up til 515 from our nap.

Thursday we had swimming and we folded laundry and then we headed to Papa and Grandma's to take Lana over there. Then we went to Jessie's and headed off to Pump it Up. Its a play place with all the blow up jumper things. We had so much fun! Mommy and Jessie's Mommy even got a good workout. They ran around and played with us and went on the slide and all the obstacle course thing. We didn't want to leave when the time came to go home.

I slept so good that night though because I was so tuckered out!

Friday Papa and Uncle Curt came over to help Mommy put the new kitchen table and chairs together. Then in the afternoon we went over to Papa and Grandma's so they could babysit me. Mommy was going out to dinner and a movie with Amy. She had a good time.

2010-02-02T21:38:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
Today was swimming. Miss Lori said I did a lot better with my left arm. She said its not as stiff as it was before. I was a little fussy at first, but got over that quickly.

After swimming we went home and ate lunch and then I took a nap. I slept for about 2 hours. Mommy was happy about that because she was able to get the rest of the unpacking done. After I woke up, we headed out for our walk with Lana. This time Mommy put me in the stroller and pushed me while walking Lana. It was too hard for her to walk Lana and hold my hand like she tried last time. Then we took Lana home and Mommy and I went to the playground/pond to play.

I had a great time running back and forth between the pond and playground again. We saw a bunny eating in the grass so Mommy and I watched it for a while. Mommy asked me about what color the bunny was and what color is tail was and if its ears were long or short. I am so smart because I answered every question right. Then this little boy came to play at the playground and we had so much fun chasing each other around.

Then we had to go home so Mommy could make dinner. She made some chicken and brown rice and veggies. It was good.

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

Dear Daddy,

Today was Grammy's birthday so we called her when we woke up this morning. She was happy that we called and told her Happy Birthday.

Then we played for a while and had breakfast and then got ready for the day. Mommy spent the day organizing and finishing up the cleaning. She found out that I put more movies under the tv stand, so next time Papa comes over he has to help Mommy move the tv stand to get them out.

We had pasta and chicken nuggets for lunch and then I took a long nap.

After I woke up, we packed up and went to Papa and Grandma's for dinner. Lana came too. We had some alfredo pasta and meatballs for dinner. It was so delicious. Then we had to head home around 7 so i could take a bath.

For some reason I dont want to go to sleep tonight but I am being good and staying in my bed at least.

Today Mommy spent the day cleaning and organizing. I watched a new show on tv called Team Umizoomi and i really like it. Its really good. I want to watch it all day now.

Mommy made us a good lunch and we played with my cars and stuff too. Then I took a pretty good nap.

Then Mommy decided we were going to go for a walk around the community. Mommy and Lana and I went on a long walk and explored. We finally found the playground here by the pond. So we took Lana home and then went back to the playground and we played there for about 30 minutes. I had so much fun. I ran back and forth between the playground and the pond.

Then we had to go home and get ready because we were going out to dinner with Aunt Krista and Jake. We went to Souplantation and had a really good time. I had a good dinner and then Mommy let me have some ice cream. Yum! I cant wait to go there with you when you get home Daddy.

Dear Daddy,

Today we went to Disney on Ice Worlds of Fantasy!! I had such a good time. I just wish you were there. But thats okay Mommy said we can go next year again :)

First Mickey and Minnie came out and then Goofy and Donald all to introduce it. Then it was time for the Cars part. First Mater came out, then Sally, then Flo and then Ramone!! I got so excited about Ramone. Mommy was surprised because we all know my favorite is Lightning McQueen. But then he came out and I liked him too.

After Cars was over it was time for the Little Mermaid. I like all of the fish and singing and dancing. Then they did the Lion King and then Tinkerbell.

I had a lot of fun and Mommy bought me a plush Lightning McQueen and a pull back Lightning and a twirly Mickey Mouse light thing and a icee cup thing too.

Mommy said she emailed you the pictures already.

Dear Daddy,

Thursday we woke up and had breakfast and I played while Mommy got ready. Then it was time to head off to swimming. I had a good time and Miss Lori said she can feel my left arm getting not so stiff. Im working on my arms and hopefully will be swimming really soon.

After swimming we went home and had lunch and then I took a nap. Mommy said she fell asleep on the couch while I napped. She said she just laid down for a minute to rest and she fell asleep and slept the whole hour and a half that I napped. Mommy deserves it though. She does so much and deserves a break once in a while.

Then on Friday we needed to go to the grocery store so when I woke up we got ready and headed off to Vons. Mommy likes shopping there because of their selection of their "O Organics" label foods. I was such a good boy in the store and Mommy bought me a new GO Diego Go book that they had there on sale. I love it and I had Mommy read it about 5 times to me when we got home.

I had a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich for lunch. Mommy assumed I like it because I ate ALL of it. I dont usually eat all of my food.

Papa and Grandma came over later in the afternoon after my nap and they hung out and played with me for a couple of hours.

Then they left and Mommy gave me a bath and then I went to bed.

I love you and miss you so much Daddy.

So do Mommy and Lana.

Dear Daddy,
Today Kayden came over to play while her Mommy went somewhere. We ate lunch together and we weren't very nice to each other at first. I threw something at her and she scratched me when I took some food off of her plate. Mommy put us both in time out and that seemed to fix the hitting each other problem.

We both got tired around nap time so Mommy got us our blankets and put on a movie and we both almost fell asleep but were too interested in the movie to fall all the way asleep.

Then we got up and played more until Kayden's Mommy came and picked her up. Then Mommy had a big headache so we went and took a little nap until it was time to make dinner.

Mommy made me scrambled eggs for dinner because that is what I wanted. She made me 2 and I ate them all and wanted more so she made me one more.

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

Jackson invited me to his 2nd birthday party in February. I can't wait to go its at Kidsville and Mommy said that place is very fun.

After swimming we went to the post office to mail Grammy her birthday card and then we went home and ate lunch. Then I took a nap and Mommy made a couple of phone calls and cleaned the kitchen and the bathrooms.

When I woke up we played and then Papa and Grandma came over and we had a good time. They stayed for dinner and watched me while Mommy ran to the store to get water because she forgot to pick some up earlier this week at the store.

Today we went up to Kayden's house to play. Mommy and Kelly had a good time hanging out and talking and Mommy loved holding Davin and playing with him.

Kayden and I had lots of fun and made lots and lots of noise. We were being so silly.

Kayden got lots of new toys for Christmas and we had a good time playing with them.

We are going to have Kayden come stay with us tomorrow while her Mommy goes to her Aunts funeral services.

Mommy was hoping I would sleep on the way home from Kaydnes but that didn't happen.

2010-01-24T21:39:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we stayed home all day because we had to get some unpacking done. I was a pretty good boy for Mommy and played quietly for the most part while she unpacked.

I helped Mommy sort some of my toys and some paperwork. Then we took a break to relax and watch a movie. Mommy put me down for a nap and she got some more work done. She was afraid I was going to wake up because the neighbor's dog kept barking and that made Lana keep barking. But I slept right through it.

After my nap Mommy and I played for a while and Mommy hung up some stuff on the walls. That sure made lots of noise.

I love you and miss you Daddy. I can't wait for you to be home. Mommy and Lana love and miss you too.

Dear Daddy,

Today I went to spend the day with Papa and Grandma at their house so that Mommy could get some packing done uninterrupted and so she could return something to Babies R Us and do the grocery shopping.

I had such a good time. Grandma fed me lunch and then we played outside for a long time until I told her I was cold. So then we went in and snuggled up under a blanket. I then told Grandma to move because I wanted to lay down so Grandma moved down a little bit and I laid down on the pillow and Grandma covered me up with a blanket and she put my feet on her lap. We watched a movie and Grandma told Mommy she thought I was going to fall asleep but I didn't. I just laid there for about 20 minutes and then got up and played with Aunt Krista.

Mommy came to get me at about 5 and we stayed and ate dinner at Papa and Grandma's and then went home at about 7pm.

I was pretty tired from my long day so I went to bed rather quickly tonight.

I love you and miss you Daddy.

So do Mommy and Lana.

Dear Daddy,

Sorry about not blogging yesterday. We have just been so busy with unpacking that I haven't had a chance.

Its been raining non stop so we haven't been able to go to the park here at our new apartments or even be able to walk around the complex much yet.

Ive been a very good helper with all of the unpacking. I love all of the new movies Mommy unpacked. I watched Milo and Otis yesterday and I liked it because of all of the animals.

Mommy said as soon as we get the apartment set up she will take more pictures of it for you and I can post them for you.

Jen and Jessie and Nate came over last night to play and see our new house. I had a good time playing.

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

2010-01-20T21:50:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today when I woke up I was not in a good mood. I whined and cried and tugged at Mommy all morning. I just wanted her to hold me. She got as much done as she could with me wanting to be held the whole time.

After we got ready we had to go to the recreation office to ask them about our guest gate code. Mommy got it all figured out and then we ran a couple of other errands and then went home and ate lunch.

Mommy got some more unpacking done and i helped her to fold up the boxes after she cut the tape off. Mommy always says I am such a good helper.

Then Mommy put me down for a nap and I slept for about 30 minutes and then Mommy came and got me and brought me out to the living room. Before she knew it I was asleep again. I must have been tired she said.

Guess what Daddy? I fell asleep in my own bed tonight and Mommy was so proud.

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

Day 274-275

2010-01-19T21:56:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Sorry I have been combining posts lately. Mommy and I have just been so busy unpacking. My room is all finished and I love it. Its so good to have my own room again. I have all of my toys and I just love to sit in there and play while Mommy unpacks.

It has been raining like crazy here lately. Its so wet outside and pouring down all the time. There was even a tornado warning. Aunt Krista came to visit on Tuesday and play with me so that Mommy could get some work done. I had a good time playing with her.

Then later on on Tuesday Papa and Grandma came by to visit and say hi. I miss them but its nice to not get woken up all the time by Mickey and Buddy barking.

I love you and miss you Daddy and cant wait for us to be a family again.

Mommy and Lana love and miss you too.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Love

Days 271-273

2010-01-17T21:49:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
I am going to write a blog for the last few days because its been a busy few days. Friday Mommy finished up all the packing. She also went to the store and did some grocery shopping for us.

Then on Saturday when I woke up only Grandma was home with me. Everyone else was moving our stuff to our new house. I was so excited when Grandma told me this. I was a good boy all day for Grandma and then Mommy got home about 7pm that night and stayed the night one last night at Papa and Grandmas.

Sunday we woke up and I stayed with Grandma again and Mommy and Papa and Uncle Curt finished moving all of our stuff. I was a good boy for Grandma again and then around dinner Mommy came and got me and Lana and we went to our new house! I loved it. I ran around and checked everything out. It was so exciting. I have my own room now Daddy! I love it. I cant wait to decorate it with the Cars wall stickers Mommy bought me.

I love you and miss you Daddy and cant wait for you to be home with us in our new house. Mommy and Lana miss you too.

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 270

2010-01-14T20:24:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
Today I woke up a little stuffy and hoarse still so Mommy decided we wouldn't go swimming or over to Jessie's today. She just wants me to get all better so I am okay for when we move.

I was a good boy though today and let Mommy get some more packing done and we played and watched movies. We watched Cars of course and I fell asleep almost laying with Mommy. She loves when I cuddle with her.

We had a good lunch but I didn't eat too much of it. My throat was still hurting. Mommy gave me a Popsicle and everything was better.

When Papa got home we played with my truck up and down the hall and took it out in the backyard for a little bit too so Mommy could pack and do some other things.

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

Day 269

2010-01-13T21:32:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
Today I woke up sick :( I have a congested nose and keep sneezing and I'm hoarse sounding. I just wanted Mommy to hold me all day. Needless to say she got nothing done today. I just wanted to lay with her in bed all day. She even had to wait for Papa to come home at lunch so she could jump in the shower really quick so that Papa could watch me. And before she was done with her shower I was already crying because I didn't want Papa anymore. I just wanted Mommy.

We watched a few movies today and just laid around and cuddled and relaxed most of the day. Mommy wanted me to get all better. I wouldn't eat breakfast or lunch or anything. Mommy went when I was taking a nap (Grandma watched me) and she got me a smoothie. It was yummy and made my throat feel better.

I started feeling a little better tonight but I gave Mommy a hard time when it came bed time tonight so I am still up.

I love you and miss you Daddy.

So do Mommy and Lana.

After breakfast I helped Grandma put away the groceries and then we played until lunch and nap time.

While I was napping Mommy went to run a few errands and Grandma stayed at home with me. I woke up right before Mommy got home. I woke up in a good mood luckily for Mommy. Sometimes I wake up from my naps very grumpy.

We had chicken broccoli alfredo pasta for dinner. Well Mommy had that.I wouldn't try it because I've been super picky lately.

Today when I woke up Mommy told me we were going to go shopping at Costco. I LOVE shopping at Costco because I get good yummy samples. I was so excited I said "mommy lets go shopping!" So we got ready and headed out.

Mommy couldn't believe how busy they were for a Wednesday at 10:30 am. While we were there Mommy got some things we are going to need for when we move out like cleaning supplies and a few other things. I got to have a sample of a pickle and also and orange and an apple. Mommy looked down to find me eating peel of the orange too. She thought that was funny. She couldn't believe I was eating it and not spitting it out.

After Costco we went to Submarina for lunch. Mommy saw her old boss. She said he was her first boss ever from when she was 16. We shared a sandwich and some chips and it was very good.

Then we headed home because it was nap time. After I woke up from my nap we played for a while. When Papa got home from work he watched me play outside while Mommy took Lana for her walk.

I had some grapes for a snack and some juice. Then I played with Mommy for a little bit until she had to leave. She went to have coffee with her friend Tali for a couple of hours.

Mommy got home about 7pm and got me ready for bed. Charlie Brown Christmas was on again tonight so we watched that and then went to bed.

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

2009-12-14T21:34:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we didn't have much planned. We never really do on Mondays. I of course woke up and ate breakfast. While Mommy was getting ready, I surprised her and got myself undressed including my diaper! I just wanted to run around naked. I think its funny!

After I got dressed and ready we colored until lunch time. I had a grilled cheese and some applesauce.

Then it was almost nap time but Mommy let me play with my cars for a little bit first. I was driving them all over Mommy's back. She said it was like a back massage. After my nap I had my snack and then we got ready to take Lana for her walk.

It was pretty cold outside when we were walking Lana. Luckily I had a heavy hooded jacket on and Mommy showed me how to put my hands in my jacket pockets. She said she has to get me some mittens so my hands dont get cold.

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

Dear Daddy,

Today I slept in and then got up and ate breakfast and then got ready. It was a little gloomy outside again today but no rain.

Mommy and I had a good lunch today and I ate all of it. Then we played until nap time.

After nap, Mommy and I started working on the gingerbread house. We put the sides together and then had to let those sit for an hour before we put the roof on. So we then ate dinner and waited for you to get on. When you got on, Mommy put the roof on and then it had to sit for a couple of hours before we could decorate it.

After we talked to you I got in the bath and then got my pajamas on. Then we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas and had popcorn. Then it was on to decorating. Mommy said I was such a good helper!

Didn't it come out really good? Mommy let me help with every part. I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Dear Daddy,

Today when I woke up Mommy wasn't home and I threw a fit. I was very worried about where she was. Uncle Curt was here watching me though so I calmed down. Mommy got home about 10 minutes after I woke up-she had been at the doctor.

When she got home I ate breakfast and we played inside all day because it was raining. Mommy had to make a couple of phone calls so she put Cars on for me. Then we played until lunch and nap time.

After my nap, Mommy ran a few errands and then when she got home we got ready to go out to dinner. Mommy, Grandma, Uncle Curt and I all went to Chilis. I had a lot of fun coloring and the food was delicious. After dinner we went and looked at some Christmas lights. They were so pretty.

When we got home I got to watch a little tv and then it was time to take a bath and get ready for bed.

2009-12-11T21:26:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today when I got up I had to hurry and get ready because we were going to the mall to see Santa!!

When we got to the mall the line was about 20 people long so we got in and waited our turn. We were about 4 people away from the front they told us that Santa needed to eat lunch and that we had to come back in 1 hour. Mommy was NOT happy at all. Luckily they gave us a number to come back to the front of the line and so we went and had lunch at the food court and then went back. I was a little scared of Santa. He gave me a candy cane but I wasnt sure about him. They took my picture with him and then I started crying so Mommy came and got me. Santa also gave me a penguin stuffed animal. Santa sure is nice!

After that we walked around the mall for a little bit and then we went home. When we got home Mommy and I cuddled on the couch and rested a little bit since I had missed my nap. We both dozed off here and there but then I got a burst of energy and I went running around everywhere.

Soon it was dinner time and then time to talk to you :)

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

Dear Daddy,

Here are the pictures of me painting that Mommy wanted to show you. And there is also a picture of me and Jessie when I was playing at her house last night.

When I woke up today it was a swim day so we had breakfast and got ready for swimming and off we went.

I had a great time. Miss Lori was up in the front when we got there and she greeted us and we got right to swimming. I did really well she said with my polar bear arms today.

We went home and had lunch and played until nap time. While I was napping Mommy worked on my Christmas pajamas. She was really bummed because after 2 hours of working on them the shirt didn't fit :( The pattern was the wrong size. Even though it said 2T it didnt fit. So she is going to make my Christmas pajamas the same way she made me pajamas last year.

Then we ate dinner and got ready to go to Jessie's to play. I had a great time and Jessie's Mommy made chocolate chip cookies so I got to have one. They were so good! I had a chocolate face after that and Mommy said I was so cute.

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

Mommy got some pictures she said she will send you. Grandma sat with me while I painted and Mommy made me grilled cheese for lunch. It was delicious!

Mommy ended up taking a nap with me because she had a bad headache. We napped for about an hour and then got up and had a snack. It was pretty cold out but I decided I wanted to go outside so Mommy got our jackets on us and we went outside to play. We played until dinner time and then it was time to talk to you.

Today we didn't have anything to do outside of the house which is a good thing because it POURED all day long. Mommy took me outside under the porch and let me put my hands out in the rain. It was lots of fun and i kept wanting to do it all day long.

I had eggs for breakfast and we had a good lunch. I had some soup and crackers and fruit. It sure was good on a nice cold day.

It never thundered though so I was glad about that because thunder scares me.

We did some coloring and played with my cars and train and we did a lot of cuddling under the blanket and watching tv since it was so cold.

Dear Daddy,

Today Mommy had set her alarm to wake up early to workout and when she tried to move me off of her arm, I woke up. So she tried to get me back to sleep and in the meantime she fell back asleep. By the time she got up she didnt have time to workout because she had to take a shower because the painter was coming to paint the bathrooms. He was here ALL DAY.

When I finally woke up Mommy got me ready and we went to swim lessons. I had lots of fun with Miss Laurie and did really good using my polar bear arms. I even bent and touched my toes when it was time to jump off the side. Miss Laurie was so proud.

Then we went home and had lunch and I took a nap. Mommy doesn't know how I slept with all of the noise the painter was making, but I did take a pretty good one.

I wanted soup for dinner so thats what Mommy made for me and I had 2 bowls full.

I was pretty good and went to bed by 9 but then slept til 1030 and then was up for 2 hours. Mommy doesn't know why. I just like being with Mommy, thats all.

After that we played with my cars and my train until lunch time. I had the rest of my grilled cheese and fries from dinner at Chilis last night. It was so delicious!

Then it was time for my nap. While I was sleeping, Mommy went to Walmart to get a few things and to Joanns and she got some Diego fabric to make me some more fleece longies and some Christmas fabric to make me some Christmas PJS and a Christmas pillow too. Mommy also got me a little Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and Piglet snowglobe that plays music when she was at Walmart. I loved it. I just laid there and looked at it for a long time last night.

We ended up having pizza for dinner and it was really good. I ate a whole piece all by myself.

Dear Daddy,

Today when I woke up Grandma was already decorating the house for Christmas. It looks so neat. There are lights everywhere and lots of Santas and Snowmen.

I have to learn to not touch everything though so I don't break it. At least thats what Mommy and Grandma keep saying.

After my lunch and nap we went to Joanns but when we went to wait in line to get the fabric cut and we were number 30 and they were only on number 9 so we couldn't wait anymore because we were going to dinner with Papa and Grandma at Chilis.

I ate almost all of my dinner and it was so yummy. Mommy and Grandma got the 2 people eat for $20 deal and got bottomless chips and salsa and they both got cajun chicken pasta and we took the dessert home.

Today I slept in really late because I stayed up too late. Mommy fought with me for hours trying to get me to sleep. She cant wait until we move in January so I will have my own room again and she can get me sleeping better without all of the people in this house.

When I woke up I ate breakfast and played with Uncle Curt while Mommy took a shower and got ready. Then we had lunch and watched a Christmas cartoon on TV until nap time.

I took a pretty good nap and Mommy cuddled with me for a little bit while I napped.

After my nap we had a snack and played some more. We were going to go outside and play but it got really cold and windy. We are supposed to get rain all day tomorrow but we will see if thats true. Those weathermen are never right.

We ended up having McDonalds for dinner and it was really good. I had chicken nuggets and apple slices and a chocolate milk. I even got a new toy!

After Mommy got ready and we all got dressed we played and had lots of fun with everyone. I wish you had been here. I miss you Daddy.

Soon it was my nap time and of course I threw a fit at first, but as soon as Mommy held me, I conked out. I only slept for about 30-35 minutes, but I woke up refreshed. Mommy was making the fruit salad when I woke up, so Aunt Krista got me out of bed and I just hugged and hugged her.

Mommy had to go down to Rite Aide to get something for Grandma and while she was there she got me a jumbo Go Diego Go coloring book. I had lots of fun coloring in it all day. Mommy asked me to draw a picture for her, but I jut decided to color on every page instead. :)

When Uncle Curt got home from work it was time to eat! I ate lots of turkey and a few bites of stuffing and of course a sweet roll.

After dinner we talked to you for a while and then we watched A Christmas Story in our jammies.

Today we didn't have much planned so we slept in since I was up a lot last night. Mommy figured out why when she went to brush my teeth-I have a new tooth! Its my upper right second molar. I was pretty cranky all day though because of it and because I didn't get a lot of sleep.

After we got ready Mommy made me a good lunch..some whole wheat pasta and an orange and some whole wheat breaded chicken nuggets...sooo delicious and I ate every bit!

Then I took a nap and we played for a while after that. Then it was time to make the pumpkin pies and pecan pie. I was such a good helper and I had so much fun. I kept tasting the pumpkin pie and saying "I like it!". Mommy has a video and some pictures and she said she will send them do you.

After swimming we got lunch and then played until nap time. After nap time Mommy went to Walmart to get you a few things and to the post office to mail it. I didn't want to go with Mommy so I stayed with Grandma and had snack and some juice.

2009-11-22T21:03:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today when I woke up Mommy noticed I was quite myself and that my hands were a little bit shaky. She got really concerned so she gave me some juice and a banana thinking maybe my sugar was a bit low or something since I decided I didn't want to eat dinner last night.

Well she was talking to you on the computer and I started coughing and she looked at me and I puked all over the couch. So she picked me up and got me off the couch and I puked some more all over the floor. Mommy took me to get Grandma so she could hold me while Mommy cleaned up and I puked some more all over the hall floor. Mommy was so upset because she felt so bad for me.

Mommy decided that since after I was puking I was just laying around and acting not like myself that she wasn't going to go to the candle party. She was bummed because she really wanted to go, but I am more important she said.

The rest of the day, I was acting sick sometimes but fine other times. I seemed to be okay tonight and I had eaten some chicken soup and crackers for lunch. I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

Papa took me to the park and we ran around in the grass and played on the playground. Then we went home and Grandma fed me lunch and tried to get me down for a nap, but I fought her for 45 minutes so I didn't get a nap.

I played with my toys and played with Grandma until Mommy got home. I was so happy to see Mommy when she got home. I missed her!

Dear Daddy,

Today we were supposed to have a playdate at Jayla and Sadee's, but I was up until almost 1:30 AM last night. Mommy knew if she tried to wake me up early to go over there on time that I would not be a nice little boy all day. So she decided to cancel for today.

When I finally did wake up, I ate breakfast and we played until it was time to get ready. Then it was soon lunch time and then nap time. Mommy paid the bills while I took a nap and when I woke up she had a headache again. :(

We both had a popsicle when I woke up and they were yummy sugar free ones!

I got to play outside with Papa today too because he had the day off so that was fun.

Tomorrow Mommy is going with Amy and Aunt Krista to the movies to see New Moon, so I am spending the whole day with Papa and Grandma. I'm very excited because I know I will have lots of fun.

Dear Daddy,

I slept in really late again today since I was up for a few hours last night. Mommy still doesn't know why my schedule is so messed up but she is hoping to get it back on track soon. I was glad to see you online again though when I woke up. I know you couldn't hear me this time but I kept telling you everything I was doing.

Mommy was already showered and dressed but she still had to get me dressed and of course I put up a fight but once she put on Cars for me I was okay. I had some pasta and grapes for lunch. It was good and I made a happy plate. I was so proud of myself.

After that we played with my toys until nap time. Mommy ended up taking a nap with me because she had a really bad headache.

After nap and Grandma was home I stayed here with her while Mommy went to the post office to mail out your Christmas packages and go to the grocery store to get a few things.

I was so happy to see Mommy when she got home. I ran up to her and said "Mommy your home!"

Gues what Daddy? The moon was finally out again tonight! We haven't seen it at all this week and I always get so sad.

Then we had to go so we could get ready for swimming. I did so well at swimming class. Miss Laurie was so proud of me! I used my polar bear arms really well she said. I was being silly and wearing these goggles and I thought it was so funny. Mommy said it was so cute. As soon as she got the camera I took them off and threw them into the pool.

Then we went home and ate lunch and I took a nap while Mommy cleaned and folded laundry. After nap I decided I didn't want to go for a walk with Mommy and Lana again so Grandma let me stay with her.

I was a good boy all day today though. I never really threw any fits.

We did lots of playing with my puzzles today. I had forgotten about them until Mommy brought them out.

We had some whole wheat pasta and chicken for lunch. And I had some grapes too.

I fought Mommy to take a nap again today. I just want to play instead of sleeping. After my nap Mommy let me have another cookie. I just wanted to make sure they were perfect for you Daddy :)

We had lasagna for dinner and it was pretty good.

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

XOXOXOXOXOXO
Love

Day 210

2009-11-15T20:23:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today when I woke up, Mommy was already awake. I had a waffle for breakfast-thats all I ever want Mommy says. But she said its okay because they are whole wheat waffles. I always have some fruit with my waffle too.

After breakfast we played and then Mommy got dressed and I decided I wanted soup for lunch. Of course soup its my favorite! I watched Cars of course today too. Mommy said she doesn't know how I don't get tired of this movie!

I threw a fit about taking a nap, but eventually gave in and went to sleep. While I was napping, Grandma stayed home with me and Papa and Mommy went out shopping to get you some more stuff for your Christmas package. Mommy said tomorrow I can help her bake cookies for you.

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

Day 209

2009-11-14T21:28:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we woke up kind of late since I stayed up a little late last night. I told Mommy I wasn't tired so she let me stay up to watch Cars.

I had 2 waffles for breakfast. And I kept telling Mommy I wanted more, but she said no because she didn't want me to get a tummy ache.

After breakfast we got ready for the day and played until lunch time. We had sandwiches for lunch and then played some more until nap time.

After I woke up from my nap, Mommy, Grandma and I headed out to Costco to do some shopping. We ended up getting some snacks, a blanket sleeper for me, an outfit for me and we even got you a couple of Christmas presents!

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

Day 208

2009-11-13T21:26:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today Mommy woke me up because we had to get ready for our playdate. We went over to Jayla and Sadee's house. I had lots of fun. We played with their McDonalds drive thru/kitchen thing. And we went outside and played with their cars and bikes. I even got to ride on a quad that was a powerwheels. It was so neat that it went all by itself when I pushed a button. I think Mommy knew i liked it a lot so she said that maybe Santa will bring me one for Christmas.

After we were done playing, we went home and ate lunch and then took a nap. I must have been worn out from all that running around playing Mommy said because I took almost a 2 hour nap. I rarely do that anymore.

After nap we woke up and Grandma was home from work. Mommy wanted to take Lana for her walk but I didn't want to go so Grandma said I could stay home with her. We played outside until Mommy and Lana got home. It was pretty cold out so I had to wear my jacket with my hood.

Then we had dinner and talked to you and now Im gonna go to bed. I love you and miss you Daddy. So do Mommy and Lana.

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 207

2009-11-12T21:07:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we woke up and had breakfast and got ready because it was a swim lesson day!

I was all alone in class today and Miss Laurie said she loves that. She loves having me all to herself for a whole half hour. We had lots of fun. She let me jump off the side to her a few times and she threw me in the air and dragged me back and forth in the water too. It was so much fun. I was just giggling and giggling. I did so well and used my polar bear arms really well.

After swim lessons, we went home and played until nap time. After nap, we had snack and read my books and then played with my toys until dinner time. Then after dinner we headed over to Jessie's house to play. I had lots of fun. We played with balloons and watched Ice Age 3. I love playing there!

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

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 206

2009-11-11T21:39:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we woke up at a decent time since I slept all night for Mommy. She was so happy that I slept well.

We had a good breakfast and talked to you for a few minutes and then got ready for the day. Then we played with my trains until it was time for Mommy to make lunch. While she made lunch, I watched Cars with Uncle Curt. I love that movie and never get tired of it.

After lunch we built a tower out of blocks and I played some with Aunt Krista until it was nap time.

Im not sure what Mommy did while I was napping, but I heard her tell Grandma, she didn't get too much done since I only napped for 30 minutes.

Later on in the afternoon, we took Lana for her walk and then Grandma took me outside to play so Mommy could have some time to just relax. I had a great time outside with Papa and Grandma. I found all kinds of rocks.

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

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 205

2009-11-10T20:51:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

TOday I woke up in a great mood until the banana I was eating for breakfast broke in half. I was not happy about that at all. I threw a fit for a long time no matter what Mommy did to console me. Mommy says Im so silly when I act that way and that she doesn't like it.

After breakfast we got ready for swim lessons. I had a good time, but at first I didn't want to go to Miss Laurie. Mommy doesn't know what it was. I just wanted to stay by Mommy, but then Miss Laurie let me jump off the step to her and I was okay after that.

I did pretty good with my polar bear arms in swim class today and Miss Laurie gave me lots of hugs.

After that we went home and ate lunch and then it was my nap time. After nap, Ashleigh was there and she cut and colored Mommys hair while I played with my toys and sang and danced for them. Ashleigh say Im so silly but so cute! Mommy said she agrees. You should see Mommys hair-it looks so pretty.

Since today was Lana's birthday we sang Happy Birthday to her and then you got to watch her open her gifts. Well actually I opened them for her :) She loves her new chew toy.

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

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 204

2009-11-09T21:00:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
Today we woke up and did the laundry and played all morning. I am so good at helping Mommy put all the stuff from the washer into the dryer. Mommy says I am her special helper.

After we played for a while, we got ready for the day and then it was time for lunch. I had some pasta and chicken and it was very good. After that we made one of the little foam puppets that Mommy bought for me at the craft store. It was a monkey-I keep forgetting to show you it when we talk to you. I make a great monkey noise Daddy!

Then I took a nap and Mommy did some of her crocheting and folded some laundry. When Grandma got home I stayed with her and Mommy ran to Walmart to get a few things and to Henrys to get some fruit and veggies and other things.

Mommy got me some whole grain organic bunny shaped crackers. They are great! I got to have some as a snack while we took Lana for her walk. Silly Lana got scared of a big truck and I told her "its okay Sissy".

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

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 203

2009-11-08T20:58:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

When Mommy got home last night I was STILL awake-I wouldn't sleep for Grandma- so we slept in again today. Mommy made me a good breakfast and then she took a shower. Then we played until lunch time. We set up my train and played with it. I love saying "choo choo!"

Then we had lunch and then took a nap. Mommy tried to take a nap, but couldn't fall asleep so she went out to fold the laundry and check some things online.

I woke up from my nap in a great mood and came walking out with a big smile on my face. I played a game with Mommy on her phone for a while and then I decided I wanted to play with my cars. After that we played with my blocks too.

Then it was dinner time and I ate a lot of Grandmas food instead of my own.

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

XOXOXOXOXO

Day 202

2009-11-07T21:00:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,
We slept in really late til almost 10:30 today since we were up late. Mommy made me eggs and sausage for breakfast and I ate all of mine and some of hers. It was good.

After that we got ready and played until lunch time. After lunch it was nap time. Mommy tried to take a nap with me, but couldn't fall asleep so she went out and did some cleaning.

After nap, I played with Mommy until she had to leave to go to Amys. She said she was having a girls night with Amy. She deserves it Daddy. She does so much for me and I don't sleep well so she doesn't get a lot of time to herself. She is the best Mommy ever. I had fun with Papa and Grandma while Mommy was gone. I ate all my dinner and we played outside.

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

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 201

2009-11-06T20:23:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

How are you? Today when we woke up we ate breakfast and then got ready. Once we were ready we headed to Joann's to get some fabric-Mommy wanted to make me a new blanket. But then ended up not having any of the fabric that Mommy wanted to use so she said we would check back next week. While we were there Mommy picked up some paint and paint brushes and also some other craft stuff.

Then we went home and ate lunch and I took a nap.

After nap, Mommy put one of her old pajama shirts on me and we got to painting! I loved it and wanted to paint forever.

I did end up throwing a fit in the middle of all of it because Mommy tried to paint too and I didn't like her using my paints for some reason.

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

XOXOXOXOXO

Alexander

Day 200

2009-11-05T21:16:00.000-08:00

Dear Daddy,

Today we had swim lessons since I was feeling all better. I had such a good time. Miss Laurie told me that I am the light of her day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Mommy said she agrees-that Im the light of her day every day :) That made me smile and then I gave Mommy a big hug and got her all wet from the pool-haha!

After we got home from swimming, I finished my lunch and then we took a nap. Mommy took a nap too because she still isn't feeling well.

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

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Day 199

2009-11-04T20:56:00.000-08:00

Almost 200 days Daddy. Thats a long time.

Today we didn't do much of anything again. Mommy wants us recooperating until we are healthy again fully. Tomorrow we are going to go to swim lessons since I seem to be almost 100% better and Mommy is a little better.

It was a little cloudy out today, but it was still warm. We did play outside for a little bit in the afternoon.

I was such a good boy all day today. I didn't throw many fits at all.

We read every single one of my books today. Mommy said she is so glad that I love to read. It will make me even smarter than I already am she says :)

I love you and miss you Daddy. MOmmy promises to start taking more pictures. She has been a slacker lately. Mommy and Lana miss you too.

XOXOXOXOXO
Love
Alexander
