Happy Friday

Today I played with Monte and Mommy. I like to play in the covers. Uncle Steve carried me at the Mall. I like my feet. I don't like to be left alone on the floor ever. I like to grind my little teeth together. I think it's funny to make a little cave with the covers and roll against them. Hanging out at home is probably my favorite thing to do. I am starting to feel better so I will eat baby food again. I have wanted to breastfeed every time I feel bad lately. Mommy told me I should eat solid food. I have a rash on my belly today. Probably from the laundry detergent or different diaper chemicals. Mommy plans to switch to cloth diapers when we go back home. Aunt Claire picked out great bedding. I put my face on it and then laugh- her bedding is so funny.

Thursday Sick Day

Today I had a fever over 102 degrees after I took Tylenol. Mommy took me to the doctor. They gave me some fluids and said I had a virus. I threw up a lot. The doctor told me that I have sensitive skin and diapers are irritating it. I told him that wasn't what I came in for, but thank you very much. My friend Monte the dog is also sick- he got a tooth removed. he got a pet goose to comfort him. My fever is going down but I am still crying. I didn't sleep at all last night because I felt bad. I like to cuddle when I feel sick. Since I was feeling a little better I smiled at Uncle Steve tonight.
I've made a big life change, besides deciding never to sleep again. I've decided to reduce my environmental impact. I don't know if you are aware but babies, although the smallest of the people, are involved in a lot of consumption. have you ever noticed a big pile of gear walking around with a small bundle inside- that is a greedy baby. We need so much stuff an adult can't really carry it all so they get strollers. and we poo and pee and expect people to change us. all. the. time. So I have a new pair of G diapers. They are neat- mommy has the option of cloth inserts that she can wash or FLUSHABLE inserts that go down the toilet. Monte the dog smelled them tonight and he said they were OK. I want to put Monte's face in my mouth, but he doesn't come close enough. maybe tomorrow...

Wednesday

Today I didn't feel good. I cried a lot. Aunt Claire took me out to lunch. I threw up all over my clothes. I screamed at mommy. She didn't make it better. I cried so she finally just put me down. I am tired. and hungry. Aunt Claire says it is OK. I kicked mommy's drink onto her and uncle Steve at dinner. It was funny.

Tuesday Visiting Claire

Today I got to play with Claire's dog Monte. He is cute but he doesn't seem as interested in me as my dog. I liked playing with Aunt Claire's piggy bank. I am grouchy today. Mommy thinks I might be getting a new tooth. She isn't used to me being so grouchy.

Monday on the Plane

Today I got to play with mommy. I slept a lot. Mommy thought it was really quiet with just me. We got to see daddy for lunch. I ate lots of rice cereal. i like rice cereal. I also like banging dishes around. Mommy and I went to the airport and there were lots of friendly people there. I got to play on the floor. Then we sat next to someone I was afraid of. I cried but he wouldn't go away. I fell asleep in Chicago and then woke up and ate some more. I slept almost the whole way to Boise and mommy told me I was a good baby. I normally like to sleep more but last night I wasn't in my normal crib so I didn't want to. I like Aunt Claire. She has a cute doggy. She bought me rice cereal and baby food.

Traveling

This morning I wanted to sleep but there was too much noise. Then it was too loud to eat. I was mad. I don't like to eat when it is too loud. Sometimes I don't want to eat because it is so fun to play. Sometimes I like to eat rice cereal instead of breastfeeding. Other times mommy makes me wait to eat because I bite her. I sometimes just want to bite. I don't see why it's such a big deal.
I was happy later in the day, but I cried this morning before we left Mark and Sara's. I miss seeing Danielle. Even though our friends are here tonight, I was still really tired today.
I'm getting pretty good at grabbing things with my hands- Diane fed me tonight but I wanted to feed myself. She let me hold a spoon. Also I was sad when mommy wouldn't let me have a plastic bag. They are so fun. I love my family, and I am learning to find balance between all the things I want.
