Doing That Monday Thing

It's back... The day called Monday. It wasn't a bad one.

I got up a little early this morning and had an early snack. Then I went back to sleep. After Mom got ready for work, she helped me get ready for my day.

I had a good day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. Then something weird happened. Mom came to get me. On a Monday. Mom didn't have little work today. She said it's something called "Spring Break" at little work. I think I like this "Spring Break" thing!

After Mom picked me up, she took me to the doctor's office. Whoa. I wasn't ready for that. Luckily, I wasn't there to get stabbed. I was just there to have my weight checked. Dr. Shuler likes to make sure I'm gaining enough weight. I weigh 13 pounds and 3 ounces now. That's almost a whole pound more than when I went for my 6 month appointment. Mom calls me her "sweet tiny girl". I like that. :)

Well, I'm ready for bed. Unfortunately, it's not "Spring Break" at big work, so Mom will have her long Tuesday tomorrow. Boo.

The Miserables

I woke up early this morning. Well, early for a Sunday. It was 6:00. I was ready to play. Mom was...well, Mom wasn't really ready to play. So she let me lay in the bed with her and watch Sesame Street.

After we got up, Aunt Trina came to play with me. Actually, she came to pick up her Granny's birthday cake, but she played with me too. I had a good time playing with her and laughing. :)

Mom made me try on my new hat. We got it at the WeeSale. I wasn't too sure about it.

Mom says that if my head doesn't get ginormous, it will be a great sun hat this summer. I don't think my head is going to get ginormous. That would just be weird...

I showed Aunt Trina my funny tongue trick.

After Aunt Trina left, I got ready and we went to Grandmom and Granddad's. I took a nap while the solid food eaters had lunch.

After lunch, Mom and I went to the WeeSale again. Mom said that a lot of the things that were left would be half the price. That sounded good to me. Sounded like I would get more stuff. I got some more new outfits and another new movie. Then we went to Target. That wasn't very exciting. We were just there to get detergent for the washing machine. No toys. Oh well.

Tonight, we've been watching something special on tv. There's a concert on PBS. Something called Les Miserables.

I'm a little confused about it. Apparently, all of these people are miserable. They are sad. But they are singing. A lot. So far, this is what I understand. There's a man with a funny name. He sounds like a Dr. Seuss character. He must be in some kind of trouble because there is a policeman singing about trying to catch him. There's a lady too. She was very sad, then she was sick, then she was gone. There's a little girl that lives with some loud, obese people. The Funny Name Man went and got the little girl and she lived with him after that. She grew up. The policeman keeps chasing the Funny Name Man. The grown up little girl met a boy. He hangs around with some people who are upset about something or other. They hang out at something called "The Barricade". The policeman was there. The Funny Name Man sent him away and he never came back. There was a big fight with lots of loud noise. Lots of people went away. The boy and the grown up girl got married and the Funny Name Man went away. I think that's it.

It was pretty serious, but the music was very nice. Mom was singing. I liked the song the little girl sang about the castle. It was nice and it made me smile. Mostly, I felt sorry for the miserable people.

This has been a very interesting cultural experience. I am very tired now. Monday will be here very shortly and I think I had better get some rest!!

BIG Toy and Dr. Seuss

Wow! When I woke up this morning, my cool new toy was ready for me!! Mom put it together for me while I was sleeping. :)

It's so great. It has so many things for me to play with! This bird was giving me the eye, though.

So I just flipped him over. Take that, bird!!

I had a great time playing in my new toy while Mom worked on her cakes. She had lots to do, so I was a very good girl.

This afternoon, Mrs. Anne came to play with me. Well, she came to get a cake, but she stayed to play with me. I hadn't seen her since right after I came to the outside. I had lots of fun playing with her. I took a long nap after she left.

Tonight, Mom read some stories by Dr. Seuss to me. She said that his birthday was Wednesday. She said we would have celebrated on the day, but we were super busy and I fell asleep before I got to hear my night night story. Mom says that Dr. Seuss was a very important "author". That's a person that writes books. Tonight, we read Horton Hatches The Egg and Yertle the Turtle. I really enjoyed Horton. He is such a faithful elephant. :) If you haven't read a Dr. Seuss story this week, you should!!

Friday Freedom

Hallelujah, Friday!!!! :)

It's been a long one, but I'm so glad to have a weekend home with Mom! I had a good day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. Mom picked me up this afternoon.

We went on an adventure with Aunt Mere, Colin, and Brenna after we got home. First, we stopped at the Target store. After Target, we went to Buy Buy Baby. I got a very cool, very big new toy. I'll share it with you tomorrow. After Buy Buy Baby, it was off to a place called Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Lots of Bs. Mom and I went into the place called Michael's for just a minute. Then we went to Kohl's. Mom got me a book about my caterpillar, Hungry!! After the shopping, the people who eat solid food ate at Chick-Fil-A. I had a bottle. Sigh. The waffle fry things looked good. We had a good time and I'm excited to play with my big new toy!!

Since we came home, I've had my dinner and gotten ready for bed. That's where I'm headed now! Off to dreamland!!!

And Then There Were Two...

I had another good day! I was so tired last night after the WeeSale. I had a really hard time waking up this morning! When I was finally ready, Grandmom came to take me to Mrs. Leigh Ann's.

I had a good day there. Then I went to Grandmom's and was very surprised to find Mom waiting for me!!

I had a snack and a quick nap. Then I woke up to play with Mom.

I am now a person with teeth. Another little tooth has burst through my bottom gums right next to the other one! It is a very peculiar time for my mouth. It is very confusing to me, having these pointy things suddenly showing up in my mouth.

We came home after Mom ate some dinner. She had to bake some cakes, so I talked to Bo. He's a baker too. :)

While the cakes were baking, Mom cleaned my new table toy from the WeeSale. She took the leg thingys off of it so I could reach it. It is a very interesting toy!!

I lost focus on the toy for a few minutes because Wheel Of Fortune was on. I love that big wheel.

Then it was back to playing. :)

When the cakes were all finished, I took a bath, had dinner, and got ready for bed. That's where I'm headed now. I'm off to dream of all the things I can snack on now that I am a person with teeth!!

New Stuff!

What a day, what a day!

It started out pretty normally. I got up, got ready, went to Mrs. Leigh Ann's.

Aunt Mere brought me home this afternoon, but I didn't get out of the car! Instead, Mom got in! She said we were going to the "WeeSale". I vaguely remembered something about that before. We went for a little ride and then we got out of the car. When we got out, I got into my stroller and we just stood there behind a bunch of other people. I had a bottle while we were standing there. Weird. All of a sudden, the people started moving and we went inside this big place with lots of stuff everywhere. It was overwhelming!

We stayed in there for a long time. Mom kept showing me things and asking me if I liked them. I was very happy the whole time. I got lots of new things. A new toy table, some drums, some new movies, and lots of clothes for the seasons called spring and summer! I also got a Gamecock dress to wear when I am 2 years old. Mom said I already have one to wear when I am 1 year old. :)

I liked the WeeSale. I like my new stuff!! :) After the WeeSale, we came home. I had some dinner and got ready for bed. I think I'm going to get some sleep now. Goodnight!!

Mom?

(Sorry for my tardiness. I started this post and fell asleep in the middle....)

Wow! What a long day! I had a great day. I'm not sure that Mom did, though. She seemed a little frazzled. Poor Mom.

I spent the day at Mrs. Leigh Ann's. She dropped Brenna and me off with Granddad a little early. She had to go to something called the WeeSale. I played with Granddad and Brenna until Grandmom came home. Then we went to Aunt Mere's house.

Mom was gone for a very long time. I knew it was Tuesday, so she had her long day at big work, but she was gone much longer than that. I borrowed Brenna's high chair and played with this fun toy.

Mom finally came to get me. She seemed very upset about some boxes or something. Anyway, that's where she had been. Trying to track down some boxes. I was glad to see her. She ate some dinner and then brought me home.

I had a bath and some dinner and fell asleep. It was a very long day.
