Memorial Day!

It has been two long weeks since my last post and I have been busy doing new things and getting used to routines as well.  First off, Ingrid is starting to watch me!  I got to hang with her a few times these last few weeks.  The first was when Ingrid came to our house so my mom could work for a morning and then I had a field trip to her house because everyone got the flu (whole other story!).  Either way, getting spoiled and held by her is really comfy and I will take it!  I am looking forward to when we will be spending even more time together this fall and next spring!

I cannot go any further without saying that my mother took off for the Memorial Day weekend.  She and my grandmother drove to San Francisco for a long weekend, WITHOUT ME.  Seriously!  Not even three months old and she just leaves.  Well it was just fine without her.  My dad did a great job with Matthew and I.  The way he does things around the house are different, but I enjoyed them.  My bedtime was moved way up, sympathy wasn't exactly doled out as generously, and he introduced me to the "saucer".

I sit upright with things to touch and make noise with all at my fingertips.  These items are a bit out of my reach and my brother will gladly hit and slap all the toys for me anyway.  Love being in it for 15 minutes, tolerate being in it 15+ and will vocally protest after 30 minutes. I have my limits!

At 3AM Saturday morning my mother drove to San Francisco.  At 5AM I needed a snack, so my dad got up to feed me.  At 5:40 he put me down so I could continue sleeping.  At 5:45 Matthew woke up and promptly threw up in the hallway.  Poor Dad!  For the remainder of the day, both he and Matthew felt terrible.  Matthew threw up a few more times and stayed far away from me.  In fact I just needed to leave.  As I said before Ingrid raced over to save me from lord knows what might have happened.  I did not get sick at all and credit Ingrid for taking me away and my dad for washing his hands hundreds of times!

 

Since my mother was away, we boys decided to play!  Since the others were feeling better we left for the air and space museum.  I was absolutely bored with it and snoozed through most of it.  Big planes, rockets, yada yada yada.  The stroller is comfy until I hear my brother yelling, which wakes me up sometimes, but other than that the museum means naps for me!  So can't beat that can you?

The count down begins to my first airplane ride!  June 16 can't come soon enough.  After the fun of the plane, I will be meeting an aunt, great aunts, cousins, and even a great-grandmother.  After the Chicago fun with family and activities we will be continuing East to Georgia.  There Gee Gee and Poopa will promptly spoil us rotten and dismiss my parents from all authorities of their silly rules and regulations.  Can't wait!!!!  Two whole weeks of new people and old ones, but constant attention for me.  Again, you can't beat that!
