I have been busy this past month!

I have been busy the last couple of weeks keeping mommy and daddy on their toes. My aunt, Cathy and cousin Jackson came to visit my new cousin, Addison and the rest of the family. Jackson and I loved playing with Max, aunt Katie and uncle Tony's dog. Of course we were not always nice to him, but mommy and daddy let me know if we were being too mean. I think after that weekend, Max was worn out and so was I. The next week, mommy took me to the Childrens Museum with Grandma Mauer and my cousins. I have been there several times, but mommy had never been there and she was very upset that the day we decided to go was the day everyone else must have been off also. We stayed for an hour and a half or so. I loved driving the cars, fire truck, playing in the ball room, grocery shopping, and most of all painting my face. I was very upset when mommy made me leave. We have also celebrated yet another birthday this month. Mommy had a birthday on March 11th, but we did not do much. Daddy was out of town for the second year in a row so we just celebrated with "hot candles" last night. All I want to do at birthday parties is blow out the hot candles, which I got to do last night. As for other things that are new: "mom, I not listening to you;" bowling is so much fun, but I would rather kick the ball than throw the ball; I love Fruit Loops and of course CHOCOLATE; I have went potty on the big potty a couple times, I sleep in my own bed through the night, I have been healthy (knock on wood), and I love to play the drums downstairs with my daddy. As for my mom and baby sister, "Josie," which "daddy don't like Josie," (so I don't think Josie will be the name) they are doing okay. Mommy had to go to the Doctor last week because she had not been feeling well. The baby is fine, but mommy is not feeling the best. My baby sister is ornery just like me. As you can see in the picture above, which is not the best when downloaded, she also has my nose and mouth. She has been head down for a couple of weeks already. She is also moving all over during the day and night which makes mommy sick to her stomach. Last week at 27 weeks, she weighed 2.5 pounds, which is 4 oz bigger than I was at that time. Mommy goes back this week for her routine check-up. Mommy is hoping to work as long as possible, but it is getting difficult for her to be on her feet all day long. She has to make it to at least April 15th because otherwise she does not have enough sick leave. Keep your fingers crossed that mommy can continue to work and that we all stay healthy. I hope all is well with everyone and I will talk to you soon.

My new cousin, Addison Nicole has arrived!

On February 17, 2010 my new cousin, Addison Nicole Mauer was born. She was 7 lbs 9 oz and mommy, daddy, and Addy are all doing good. Since my Uncle Tony and Aunt Katie live so close, mommy and me have been spending a lot of time at their house. Mommy goes over to hold Addy and I get to play with Max (the dog). I love Max so much and as you can see in the pictures I sometimes think he is a pony and I try to ride on top of him. I even pick on him, but Max always wins! As for my other cousin, Kaison, wow he is chubby! Mommy wanted to post this picture because of his thunder thighs! He is so cute! The problem with Kaison is I think that he is as big as me and he will fight back. I steam rolled him last night at my uncle Tony's and Kaison did not seem to like that. He cried and I wondered what the problem was. Mommy explained that I can't do that to a baby, but I thought Kaison was strong. Mommy is just hoping that I don't ever plan on doing that to my new sister. As for other new things, I have officially been in a big bed and I mean a big bed (queen) for almost 4 weeks now. I have also been sleeping through the night for about 6 weeks. Mommy and Daddy are so happy. I am happy because the Sleep Fairy comes almost every night. She brings me presents. I almost always get cars, but I have also got a slinky, water bottle, and books. I love the Sleep Fairy and I hope she continues to come. As for mommy and my sister, they are doing good. Mommy just went to the Dr. this week for her 24.5 week check up. The doc says that my baby sister is almost 2 lbs already. She is going to be a chunk. I wonder if she will look like Kaison? My sister is still squishing mommy's bladder, especially now because she is already head down. Mommy says she thinks my sister is going to be just like me, ornery. I guess we will see in 14 more weeks. My aunt Cathy and cousin Jackson are in town this weekend so I have to go get ready to go play. I hope all is well with everyone and I will talk to you soon.
