Don't Forget about Me!



Ok, so after trying several different times to get my picture to work, I'm upside down. Which by the way is how I prefer to see the world. :) This is my first photo taking when I was about 10 weeks gestation. If you look closely you can see arms, a head and a body, and what appears to be a tail. This is the last time you will see a picture of my full body until I'm outta there. Mommy and Daddy has decided (at the present time) that at my next ultrasound they would like to keep my private area a surprise. I would great appreciate it as well, as I don't really want people staring at my peepee.

The doctor says that everything looks good and my heartrate at Mommy's last appointment was around the 150's. I was measuring well and the next time we go in will probably be another quickey.

Even though I'm not kicking Mommy yet, she's pretty sure there is something going on down there. She has been crampy lately, so maybe that means I'm moving all her organs around and growing up to be big and strong. She would like some sort of movement from me to know that just because Luci jumps on Mommy a lot, that everything is a-ok.

Will updated again when we have our next appt. after the Fourth of July.

I'm a Jabbering Monkey.

Now onto more important updates: ME!

Last week, I finally got my 7th tooth and boy did it take a toll on me and Mommy for a little while. There were about 3-4 days where I just couldn't sleep comfortably and I was definitely achy. My teeth are definitely chompers and I just don't know where I am going to fit the rest of them when they come in. Hello, braces!

Daddy and I took our first road trip together sans Mommy up to Perrysburg. Mommy had to work that night, so she had the night to herself (kinda she was working) and the most of the next day. It's like she was living the single life again. Yeah, right. She went to bed as soon as she got home and got up earlier than normal to run errands. But Daddy and I had fun and everything went smoothly even though Mommy was worried that Daddy was going to feed me McDonald's or something very out of the ordinary for me.

One of my new favorite activities is climbing but the problem is that my legs are just not quite long enough to get on most things like the couch that I want to. I did, however, master the futon cause it is lower to ground, but I get really frustrated with the couch in the den because for some reason Mommy doesn't always like to be a climbing tool.

My vocab is slowly expanding day by day. My non-verbal vocab is great and I understand what most things are including things on the face. I know, eye, teeth, nose, ear, cheek, chin. I know what to do when Mommy tells me to get something. And if I drop a toy under the couch, I crouch down and look under there to see what is missing. As for my verbal vocab, I'm saying things (some not quite clearly) like Dada, Mama, Hi (just learned this one yesterday and said it literally 1000 times), Buh-Bye, Shelly (the h is a little hard), All Done (mostly done with hand motions) , Uh Oh (this one I used all the time), All Gone (also with hand motions), KeyKey (meaning kitty) and Eye (which I think is interchangable with Hi).

Now, we are on a break from Music Class and Story Time this week, Mommy has filled it with errands and swimming in the pool ( which is still a little cold). Next week, Story Time starts up again as well as our new class, Swim Class at the Bexley Pool. Yeah for summer fun!

Moving on Up!

I always deliver my promise of updating my fans of what is going on with me and my baby (peanut, fishy) .

Our house is in the process of one big change and the rooms are not like they used to be. In order to make room for the baby, Mommy and Daddy have been busy cleaning out the office. Most of the rooms in the house are now used for different things then they used to be not more than a week ago.

Let's see if you can follow all the madness that is going around here lately:

The sun room which was our dinner room (that we never ate in) is now where we moved the futon and tv from upstairs. The console table that was in the living is now where the tv sits.

The living room is now an actually living room, not a play room. The coffee table and rocker from the den made their debuts into that room and the couches played switch-a-roo.

The den nows houses the tv (which daddy mounted on the wall), all my toys and is Mommy's new office space.

The basement is now officially a man cave. Daddy and Uncle Mike took the desk off the wall in the office and moved it down to the basement and all of Daddy's computer stuff took a trip down there as well. Mommy actually misses being able to work next to him but they can always instant message or text each other when they need something.

The office is almost a blank slate to become the bedroom for the princess, i.e. me! There are still a few odds and ends that need to be cleared out, but the closet is pretty much empty and now we just got to find my bedding and a dresser and then Grandma's got to come up and paint. Hint Hint! :)

Everyone is adjusting well to all the new changes except Shelly. She just doesn't know where to lay down.

Travelling Girl

Yes, I know it's been about a month since I've blogged but things have been really busy. Or should I say, Mommy has been really busy working on her website which takes up most of the time that she should use to tell everyone about ME!

Let's see, what's new: Went up to Brecksville last weekend for Aunt Jessa's Graduation and Grandpa's Birthday. I spent the day with Uncle Kenny and Aunt Katy while everyone else went to graduation. Most of the time, I slept and got up with a surprise for the two of them. Aunt Katy went to get me up and told Kenny that I was stinking. Well, they went to lay me down and she had poop on her shirt and I had it all the way up my back and down my legs. Needless to say, that when Mommy called Kenny said that he was calling Nuclear Waste to come get the diaper. Well, at least Mommy didn't have to change it. She gets plenty herself to do.

The weekend before, Aunt Jessa came down and visited us and Mommy and Daddy got to have a night out while Aunt Jessa and I played. We went to the mall and found her a graduation dress and got me a new "baby" suit for the pool. It's so cute and Mommy and I already used it to swim in our pool.

Memorial Day: Mommy and I ventured down to Cincinnati to have a picnic with Grandma, Gammy and Gappy, Grandpa and his fam. It was a great day and didn't rain and I got to play with rocks, sticks, and all the kids. Even though I missed my nap, I had a lot of fun being outside and enjoying nature.

The week before that: Mommy, Daddy and I went up to Perrysburg so that they could get their teeth cleaned and I got to play with Grandma and Aunt Val. We spent a lot of time outside and just enough time inside so that I could torture the dogs.

Needless to say, I'm very tired from all the driving and will post again soon about all the new things I'm doing and give you an update on my little bro/sis.

I actually just got home from another trip with just Daddy to Perrysburg, so I'm spent.
