Nikolaustag

Happy Nikolaustag! I got lots of toys in my boots. It was so funny and I loved it. I wanted the bear pez holder that my sister got. We got to open presents for the day. I got some cars. Danielle helps me open my presents. I am getting new teeth. My teeth are very swollen and my molar on my right side is ready to break through the skin. It makes it harder to sleep. I get grouchy. I also wish that I could stay up all night and sleep in the day instead of sleeping at night.
that would be fun.

Christmas Is Coming

Today we decorated the tree. I got a new shirt from BotoDesigns. I love the robots. I think it is funny to play on the couch with Danielle. I love BotoDesigns. You should get a matching shirt HERE. Did you know that I also love sushi? It makes me smile and I eat a lot of it.

Mark thought the couch and tree were pretty funny. He tried to get the lamp since the couch was moved closer.

Tuesday

Matt and Carlie are visiting me. I like them. But I also sleep a lot when they are here. I slept most of the day today which was really nice. We ate out again today at Abe's Deli. I like eating the food there. Mommy bought me toast. I waved it around and if you look closely under my chair I threw it there. I liked mommy's noodles way more than I liked my toast but it was fun to be there. I wanted mommy to hold me the whole time.

Monday

I ate lots of food at the Thai restaurant today. and I slept a lot. I like to sleep when Matt and Carlie visit. I get really excited and that makes me tired. Today Elijah my cousin bit me. It hurt my feelings but I still like him. I want to pull his hair.
Today I ate Thai food with my aunt and uncle and parents. I got to sit in a high chair next to Eli. He watched people in the restaurant but I didn't want to because I don't like them. I ate lots of food and threw some on the floor. They like me at that restaurant. They are really nice.

Sunday

Sometimes I don't know why they try to get me in a photo with them. Don't they know I have important business to do? I like to crawl on the grass and I like to find little rocks and leaves and various baby treasure. One of my other favorite things to do is to sit in the sandbox and crush the sand between my fingers.

Saturday

Today mom had a baby shower for a friend. I slept through most of it and then I played with everyone. I like playing with everyone I know. Mom let me have a bath and that is my favorite thing ever. I slap the water. Then She made my hair look all silly and froofed it out. She thought is looked funny but I didn't care. I was too busy slapping the slide and playing with the ball I claimed as my own. Danielle says it is hers but I don't have many toys I am interested so I think it can be mine if I want it.

My uncle Matt and Aunt Carlie are visiting. and my cousin Eli. I like to watch Eli. He has a lot of hair I want to grab.

Friday

Today we cleaned the house a lot. On days that we clean the house a lot sometimes we order Pizza. That makes it easier to get lots of work done. Today I ate really yummy food with the family in my new big chair. I get to sit my Danielle which I really like.
I am getting really good at eating solid food but I still wake up a few times in the night to eat. I have slept 10 hours straight twice and mommy suspects she just slept through me waking up.
I am usually just too hungry to sleep. Since they always have white noise in my room I don't wake up as much anymore from sounds around the house. I can hear a lot so I don't like having too much sound.

Thursday

I love to watch my sister Danielle. We play in the yard while mommy works on the new flower bed. I don't mind touching the grass. I can crawl pretty fast so it is almost like I am running. I run to follow Danielle and sometimes I try to eat leaves. I like the way they taste. Mommy tells me not to.
I feel like mommy has lots of ideas about what I should do. I just watch Danielle instead.

Wednesday

Today I got to bounce in my chair in the basement. I like to pick things up and then throw them on the floor. I like Danielle or mommy or daddy to bring them back to me so I can throw them again. It's like fun game of fetch. Today my blue chair finally came. At first mom was going to get me a gray Stokke Tripp Trapp chair but it came and it didn't have all of it's parts and that made her sad. She called the company and they said she could return it so we got a blue one instead. I guess the gray one looked more brown than gray. I don't really care- I like being able to stand up in my chair while daddy feeds me. It makes me feel really big to sit up at the table with the grown ups.

Tuesday

Today I was a little bit sad. I woke up four times last night. I just don't feel very good. Every time I am on the ground I crawl over to mommy for her to pick me up.
One of my best tricks is that I suck my cheeks in when I want to eat something I see. If mommy eats a banana I suck in my cheeks so she knows I want some. She gives it to me. Mommy tells me to stop stuffing too much food in my mouth and then spitting it all over myself. I tell her I don't know any other way to get as many baths as I do.
I rub my face when I am tired. If mommy doesn't schedule when i go to sleep I try not to go to sleep at all and I get really grouchy. If I want to go to bed and someone feeds me that is one of the rudest things ever. I cry and scream at them.

Monday

Today I am getting new teeth. I like to be around mommy all the time. I don't like to sleep at night anymore. One of my favorite things to do is to play tag with Danielle. I crawl after her and she runs in a circle downstairs.
Today I had a lot of fun when I got to play with my ball. Paula got me the ball when I was born and I like to shake it. Mom played with me in the white chair.

Sunday

Today I slept until about 10:45 and then I went to church with daddy and met up with mommy. Danielle had a friend over and they were sitting in the beanbag so I went and sat with them. It is fun to sit in the beanbag and I sat for around 15 minutes. I am really good at focusing on things. At church someone else wanted to carry me but I didn't want them to so I started to cry. I also didn't want to be on the floor and play. I didn't want mom to let me down at all. I am teething again so I like to bite mommy on the arm. it is funny. I also bite the giraffe if Danielle gives it to me.

Saturday

One of the funniest games in the world is sticking something in mommy's mouth. I like to put her headband in her mouth and she makes an eating noise. I could do it for hours. Today we did it for about 30 minutes and I laughed the whole time. I don't always make it into mommy's mouth because it is hard to get such a small target. I put my toy in it and she eats it up. again and again. Mommy would rather have me do that then put my little hands in her mouth. I like grabbing her face though. If she doesn't have something for me to hold on to I try to grab her mouth the whole time I am nursing.
I don't think I will ever sleep through the night again. Today daddy gave me pain killer for my teeth but I still couldn't really sleep. I am pretty sensitive about my teeth, they are important to me.
Today mommy took me to an activity at church. Whenever we go to the church I get really hungry. but I got to play with my plane which was fun. I played with my friend Katie. I really like her. Normally when people try to hold me I start crying and want to go back to mommy but I will play with Katie. I will even let her pick me up.
