The Doctor

Yesterday Mommy took me to see Dr. Appel for a follow-up visit after my latest ear infection. The infection is gone, but unfortunately, the fluid is still there, which for me usually means I'll get another infection in the next month or two. She told Mommy we could either ride it out and see if it goes away (which it never has) or she could refer us to the Ear Nose and Throat doctor. Mommy and the doctor decided that since the fluid never seems to go away that it would be wise to see the ENT. So sometime in the near future, Mommy will be scheduling my appointment with them, and we'll see what happens. Could mean tubes.......

The Potty

This is what I do with my potty.

As you can see, pretty much anything BUT potty.

The Last Resort

Since I refuse to leave my diaper alone while I am supposed to be napping, this was the last resort this afternoon.

Nobody call DHS, ok? It's just duct tape, and for now it is actually working as a deterrent.

Some New Favorite Things

Not doing what I'm supposed to. In this case, eating breakfast.

Stacking and organization. It's a gift, what can I say?

Color, color, and color.

I do this at least a dozen times a day. And if I get too tired, I just color laying down.

Mommy was MAD....

Mommy has been off work all week, and I've been so excited in the afternoons that I just can not take a nap. Don't get me wrong, I'm completely exhausted by about 3:00 each day. But there is no way I'm taking a nap. I get tired. I get cranky. I cling to Mommy. I tell her "Night-night." She takes me upstairs and lays me down. I lay there and look at her like a sweet little angel. As soon as she gets downstairs, I am wide awake and playing LOUDLY in my crib. I give kisses to my lion ("MWAH!!!"). I talk to all of my toys. I sing made-up songs. I practice all my words and all the names of the Pooh characters. Basically anything but napping. And on most days I spend a lot of time removing all my clothes, or at least those from the waist down, and tearing off my diaper. When I remove my diaper, I usually end up peeing the bed. Yesterday, however, was different.

Yesterday I was pushing all of Mommy's limits and testing all of my boundaries. Everything she told me not to do I did like another 5 times. I was cranky and clingy. I was into everything I wasn't supposed to be into. Mommy took me upstairs about 3:00 and when Daddy got home 30 minutes later, I was still upstairs talking and squealing. Mommy decided to come up and check on me, and was NOT pleased with what she found. She found me in my usual state of no pants, no diaper, and throwing everything out of my crib. What was not normal was the pile of poop on my bed sheet. The poop was on one side of the crib, and I was all the way on the other. When Mommy saw what I had done, she yelled really loudly. Daddy came running upstairs to see what was going on, and she handed my dirty, bare-butted self to him and told him to deal with that issue, so she could clean up the poop pile. Since that was the straw that broke the camel's back, so to speak, Mommy came downstairs and told Daddy she was going outside for awhile where it was quiet and no poop. When she came back inside, I was a perfect little angel, of course. Yep, I pushed her over the edge.

COOL!!!

I'm learning tons of new words right now. Today I learned the word COOL!

Music is Fun!

I love to play the piano in our house. The other day I laughed really hard when Mommy would do slides down the keyboard. The video is kind of jumpy because Mommy was filming and playing piano at the same time. But you can hear me laughing it up!

Miniature PeaPod!

Last week I got a nice surprise in the mail. Mommy ordered me a miniature PeaPod for my baby doll! It's a tiny matching version of my pink Princess PeaPod that I sleep in when we are traveling. It is so cute and tiny, and even has a tiny version of the carrying bag and the little pink sleeping bag that goes in mine.

The tiny carrying case.

See how small it is compared to my baby doll?

All set up and ready to play with me and baby doll.

Swimsuits and Piggy Tails

Swim lessons started up again on Saturday.

Like my new bikini, courtesy of the hand-me-downs from Cousin Maria? Mommy and I love hand-me-downs! I get so much cool stuff!

Mommy likes messing with my hair now that it's getting a little longer. She tried Piggy Tails this weekend. Mommy and Nana thought they looked adorable. Daddy thought they looked silly. Whatever, Daddy!

See, ADORABLE!!!

The First Pics of the Eagle Season

Sunday when Mommy and I got home from Owensboro, Daddy spotted this guy out our back door.

Huge, isn't he?

What a beautiful, and huge, bird. Daddy and Mommy love being able to look out the back door and see them all winter long.
