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.

XOXOXOXOXO

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

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

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
