What, you want some pictures?

Okay. I can do that.

I love playing at the park now. These pictures are from a few weeks ago. I played ball with my friend Ike.



Daddy pushed me on the baby swing.


Mommy and I went down the slide. Now I can go down the slide by myself (grinning maniacally all the way), but this was one of my first times so Mommy helped me.


I also got to climb on all of the playground stuff and crawl through the tunnels. And I made Mommy crawl after me. Awesome.

Correction: Ear infections are hard

Today, Mommy had a bad day at work. Her paper got rejected (again) (and yes, this is the one from GRAD SCHOOL which she finished almost three years ago), her experiment did not work, and then she got a phone call from daycare at 3:30. My teacher told her what was going on: I took a nap. I slept for 45 minutes and then woke up screaming. I did not stop screaming at all. Between the time that my teacher called me and Mommy came to pick me up, I did fall asleep in my teacher's lap (I was so cute). I screamed all the way home. Mommy tried to hug me and jiggle me and cuddle me when we got home, but I was having NONE OF IT. Still screaming. So Mommy called the doctor. The doctor told us to come in. The doctor's office was closed by this time, and the nurse was actually waiting for us at the front door to let us in, because they had already locked up. The doctor checked me out (oh yes, still screaming) and it turns out that I have a bilateral ear infection. That is what some people like to call a 'double ear infection'. It just means that both of my ears are infected. The doctor said that this would cause me problems sleeping (duh. I knew that!) because the pressure would build up more when I was laying down.

Now I am taking more pink amoxicillin and hope that this will get better soon. I have been miserable since Friday (when I had a fever) and Mommy is mean and did not take me to the doctor until now. So it serves her right that I have been waking up almost every night at three in the morning.

Teething is hard

I have a lot of teeth now. I have all four front teeth on top and bottom, and all four of my first set of molars. The molars were fun. I just finished with them. I didn't get any break though, because now my canine teeth are coming through. Those are the worst! I have been so miserable. I can't sleep either, and I have woken up at night each of the last two nights, and I can't go back to sleep. This morning I woke up at 3:45 and Mommy ended up sleeping on the floor next to my crib so that I would go back to sleep, which I didn't do until about 5:30. Then when I woke up at 7:15, she made Daddy get up so she could sleep longer. The night before Daddy had to sleep with me. Oh, and I also had a fever that night of 102.

I'm not much better during the day. Teeth hurt day and night! I can't eat anything because it hurts. I think I have eaten about five bites of food since Friday night, which was when things really started to go downhill.

Hopefully this passes soon!!

Goodbye Pop-Pop

The most tech-savvy, internet surfing, Skype-ing, emailing Great-Grandfather in the history of Great-Grandfathers died last night.

We'll miss you Pop-Pop.

More pictures from Florida

While I was in Florida, Mommy and Daddy brought some of my toys with us, but other toys were things I found at G-G and Sky King's house. These were some of my favorite toys:



I would stack them up on these little wooden steps (they were like a Buggle-sized table). Sometimes I would have to crawl inside, to get a better handle on things.


I also walked around outside of the house a lot. Here we are, walking down G-G and Sky King's street.


I had fun outside!


Next I helped G-G out with the computer.


Finally, it was time for our Super Bowl Party! We had to watch the Pats play.... who were they playing again?
Here's me with Uncle Bobby:


and here I am with G-G's cousin Eileen:


This is what a bunch of disappointed Pats fans looks like, when the Pats ruin their perfect record at the last minute:


The next day, Mommy and I flew back home. G-G and Mom-Mom drove us to the airport. Mom-Mom sat in the back seat with me:

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hope you all have a nice Valentine's day. As you can see on my shirt,
Mommy is my Valentine.
