feeling better

well, i am starting to feel better. my rash has pretty much started to disappear and its much less itchy and my cold seems to be disappearing too. I had a good nights sleep last night for the first time in quite a while.

don't tell daddy, but i think i gave him my cold. he seemed pretty miserable yesterday and sunday with a sore throat. what a wuss! gotta toughen that man up a little!

wow, its been getting cold out right? reminds me of my first days here. so cold out, and even in the house. we have been lighting a lot of fires over the weekend and finally mommy convinced daddy to turn on the heat yesterday. that helped out. they have me bundled up pretty tightly at night for bed, like a little glo worm (whatever that is).

more scoop on the job...not sure if mommy and daddy know that i can hear them or not, but it looks like i will be going to day care for 5 days a week when mommy starts working. not yet sure how i feel about that, initially, i don't like it. But...i will check it out over the next few weeks. Maybe ask some of the other full timers there and see how they like it. Poor lucy is going to be lonely at home too, and mommy said nikki is going to be coming full time again. I hope lucy is ok with that.

Eagles won on sunday (and I didn't wear my jersey...hmm). It wasn't a convincing win though, and it was pretty lucky. Daddy scared me a few times by yelling at the TV and mommy yelled at him. Lets see how the Denver game goes this weekend.

Have a good week everyone!

can someone get me a tissue!?

as you can probably tell by the title, i have a bit of a cold. not sure where this cold came from, could be a number of things. Maybe a tooth coming in, could be effects from my flu shot last week, or maybe its just a darn cold. Temperatures are dropping around here, and its been raining for ever (well, not this week).

nights this week have been awful, i just can't sleep well. it would help if i didn't have 15 pounds of mucus clogging me up, but mommy and daddy say there isn't much they can do. they keep coming at me with that blue ball syringe thing that sucks mucus out, but man, i hate that! And enough with the tissues! My nose is running constantly, wiping this little bit away is not going to save the world.

to top that off, i have this aweful diaper rash. me and mommy went to ask teh doctor about it and she gave us some more powerful medicine. hopefully it will work, because the itching is getting a little crazy.

as you can tell...its been a rough week. also found out that mommy got a job. not sure yet what that means, but it sounds as though mommy might not be around as much. i will let you all know.

Aunt Louise had her surgery and all went well, even better than expected. She came home and mom-mom and poppop bill are there helping her.

Lucy is also better, her tail is back to normal, and she is her crazy self again.

Not much else folks, hope you guys are doing well!

sometimes i'm a little devil

just wanted to say quickly, good luck to aunt louise who will be having surgery on monday. mom mom and pop pop bill are going to pittsburgh to spend some time with her. me and daddy have been saying prayers for her, so we know she will be ok.

so...hows it going out there? raining you say? its been raining for about 39 days and I am wondering if Noah is going to show up with a big wooden boat soon!

Apparently I have been quite the little devil at night recently. The fact is, sometimes I just don't want to go to sleep, so come and get me mommy! what is the big deal? Sometimes I think they can't hear me so I take it up a notch with the crying, but then I will hear them talking in there. Kids at daycare were telling me about this cry it out theory, where the parents try to get their babies to learn to sooth themselves. My goodness...who knows what those rookie parents are trying out. One day at a time...thats what I tell myself!

In other news...we think Lucy has "Limber Tail". She has been out of commission for the past day or so, and daddy stayed home and is working from home today in case she needs to go to the vet. I hope she gets better. We played a little this morning on the carpet.

Speaking of playing on the carpet, I have been thinking and strategizing. Since my daddy alway is enticing me with great toys, and then putting them just out of reach (not sure what this torture technique is called), I may have the answer. I noticed that crawling or scooting to the object on my back is effective, but its hard to see the toy. I think if I move my legs and lift my butt, I may be able to get to the toy on my stomach...

see how they react to that! More to come, I will let you guys know!

Hopefully it will dry up around here, the rain is just depressing...

and we're back...

back on track after a nice weekend away in DE. Oh and guess what, much to mommy's delight, i am a rolling fool. i have done the whole role form back to tummy and from tummy to back. she was delighted!

not much else going on. no daycare yesterday cause of columbus day, so i stayed home with mommy and we went to her work for a little while.

in DE we had a birthday party for a bunch of my cousins. that was ok, but all of them always want to hold me. i just want to play on the floor.

daddy got me a great gift on sat, a new eagles mcnabb jersey. its awesome, and i look good in it! Pictures to come soon! Unfortunately the Eagles suffered a pretty bad defeat at the hands of the dallas cowgirls. they stink adn i can't wait till we get to face em again on monday night in november. spoiled the premier of my jersey will you?! grrr...

a nice weekend of pumpkins and parties

what a night last night...after a great weekend the unknown bothersome pain/annoyance was back last night. i just couldn't sleep well. i think i cried most of the night and accidentally scratched my face a couple times. time to cut the nails mommy and daddy! it was a bad ending to a good weekend though.

saturday mommy and daddy took me to the farm and we went looking for some pumpkins and mums. there were some gigantic pumpkins there, so we ended up getting a pretty big pumpkin. I think daddy said it was 43 lbs! Thats almost twice as heavy as me! Since we got such a big one, we only got one. Mommy picked out some mums and planted them in the planters out front. They were actually pretty big too. I guess we are all ready for fall! Then it was off to Church, and then we went out to Leo's in Hoboken for dinner.

sunday was football sunday and block party day. it was nice, all the neighbors came out and all the kids got to play. it was a good time. it was during the Eagles game so daddy kept running back to the house to get me score updates. I was pretty down when the Eagles were losing 17-0 on the road in a hostile stadium. But how happy was I when they came back to win the game 37-31? Wow! Donovan played great, I hope i can see him play in person soon.

news on the milestone/development front...i have been hearing mommy and daddy still talking about me moving around and rolling over. its becoming quite humorous to hear them discuss this. Anyway...i think i may have quelled mommy's anxiety by rolling over a lot. In fact, whenever she puts me on my tummy, I roll to my back now. I will keep you guys updated.

hope you had all had a good weekend!
