I am so tired. Yesterday, I drove to Joplin with mom to help grandma line her kitchen cabinets. It took us an hour to get there...much longer than I thought it would - so I'm kind of sick of being in the car. Grandma just had leg surgery so I wanted to help her around the house as much as I could. But now I'm really tired.
I slept on dad's chest again last night; for 2 solid hours. Mom was pretty knocked out - she took some cold medicine because she's still not feeling well. She got a cold somehow and it just won't go away. I think we're all just kind of run-down. Mom is still trying to decide if we're going to go to yoga today. It would be more time in the car...more time out and about...and I'm just not sure if I'm up to it. But it is my routine after all.
Mom still isn't sleeping well. She's up around 2'ish every night. Poor mom. I hope she starts to get some rest. I can tell that she's pretty worn out.
Other than that - not much else going on. I'm getting my 8 month pictures done on Monday...and I think mom and dad are going to pose for 1 or 2 of those pictures since their 3 year anniversary is just around the corner. Looking forward to it!

Vegging Out This Weekend
Let's see...where do I begin...I haven't blogged in a few days but believe me...I'm still teething. I had a busy weekend so I thought I'd catch you all up today. Saturday I went grocery shopping with mom and dad. We stayed home all day and just caught up around the house. Mom cleaned her closet and worked on my baby books...dad went thru his old kid stuff and boxed that up to put in the attic. That was probably my favorite part of the weekend. (Probably because I scored some great books and daddy's old, plastic cash register!)
It was nice to just stay home and veg, ya know? I feel like we've been running all over the place lately. I didn't sleep well the past few nights so I needed to take it easy. Sunday, we ended up staying in a hotel in Joplin so that we could be there for gram and gramps early the next day to help them move in to their new house! Yay! They're finally here! I'm so happy!
Mom and dad took me swimming at the hotel - it was so much fun! I really am a good swimmer. I kicked and splashed and laughed. I wish we had a pool (hint, hint dad). Anywho = I'm going to Grace's house today...that's my girlfriend if you don't remember...mom has a drs appointment so Grace and I are going to play while mommy goes to that. Hopefully, I won't get too upset when mom leaves. She doesn't leave me with other people very often - but this is good practice. And I've known Grace now for more than half of my life - so I'll be fine :)

Teething (Insert Expletive Here) Sucks
Have I mentioned, teething (insert expletive here) sucks. I don't actually know if I'm teething, but that's my guess. One second I'm happy as a clam and the next I'm screaming bloody murder. Mom went out and bought me these cool teething things last night. You can put ice cubes, melon, grapes, etc. in them and I just gnaw on them when my gums are hurting. But the neat thing is, there's a little mesh net on top of the binkie so the skin from the fruit, etc. stays in the little basket. (I've only had ice cubes in it, but mom read up on what you could put in there). Let's just say, I've been making mom's days pretting interesting.
I woke up at 5am today - I just kept rolling around in bed. Mom finally went and woke dad up because she hadn't really slept all that well. She was exhausted. Poor dad, he had to stay up with me for a while...and I didn't even go back to sleep for him. He ended up putting me back in bed with mom and she nursed me to sleep. I slept until 845. I hope tonight goes a little better. I know they're both, well all of us, are really tired.
Okay, enough venting. I went shopping today with my friends; Melissa and Emilee. We had a great time. Emilee got lots of new school clothes and I did a lot of people-watching. I also tried a new jar of baby food - I think it was farmer's market blend or something? Not bad.
We don't have anything planned for this weekend. We have to get groceries at some point. And Monday we are going to gram and gram's to help them move in. But other than that, I think it should be pretty low key.

Getting My Own Personality
It's another hot one today in Missouri. Mom and I don't have anything planned...so I think we'll be staying at home for the day. Hopefully she'll be able to get me down for my naps...I usually don't fall asleep unless I'm in the car. Good luck mom!
I woke up at 830 this morning and watched mom eat her cereal. Then she gave me my medicine and now I'm playing in my exersaucer (oh, and blogging). I think we might read some books and play with my blocks. Mom likes to work on my baby books while I'm playing - and we put music on in the background and jam out.
We might get coffee too. Mom's craving Starbucks but the closest one is in Aurora and I don't really feel like driving all that way just for coffee. Although, if she can't get me to sleep...it might not be a bad idea.
We're going to Springfield tonight when dad gets home from work. Mom's wedding ring has been sent out 3 times (!) already to be resized...we're hoping it's ready today! We were going to looking at a jogging stroller that we saw on Craig's List but mom just found out that it sold overnight...sorry mom.
I guess the biggest thing going on with me right now is my PERSONALITY. Boy do I have one...and it's weird?! I like to scream out loud...and listen to my voice...and I put my hands up to block my face when mom and dad try to kiss me. And I turn my head and purse my lips together when they try to give me my medicine. We went to TJ Maxx the other day and mom put a toy in front of me to see if I'd like it...then she took it away and I didn't like that! MOM! So yeah, now, if you put a toy in front of me...don't do it unless you plan on buying it. Dad learned that the hard way. $8 later...we walked out with a loud, music-playing thing. I love it!

Running Errands
It was way too hot in Missouri today folks. Way too hot for me and way too hot for my mom and dad. This weather, ugh, I could do without. This is when I especially miss the east coast. We tried to stay cool by staying in the house for most of the morning. Dad played with me while mom cleaned the master bathroom. (You have NO idea how disgusting it was...and I'll spare you the details). It took her a whole HOUR! Once daddy saw how clean it was he wanted to buy new rugs - so off to Joplin we went. We grabbed some milkshakes and a shopping we went!
Hmmm...what else...we got home around 430/5'ish and just played in my room with some blocks. Mom worked on my baby book...or should I say...baby books...yes, that's plural. That wasn't a typo. I have not ONE but TWO baby books so far. And I say so far, because I have an inkling that there will be more before the year is over. Oh mom...
I had a new food tonight for dinner: peaches. Yum! It was a blend; peaches, oatmeal and bananas. I ate half the jar it was so good. Mom and dad had sandwiches - it was too hot to turn the stove on so we all went simple.

That's me (up there) in my room playing. That shirt I'm wearing is from Vegas when dad went to March Madness and that adorable green sweater I have on is from San Francisco when mom and dad vacationed there last year. Oh, and that blue thing in my mouth is my BINKIE. I think that's all I have to say. Talk to you tomorrow!

Sunday, Sunday
You'll be happy to know that mommy finally got back to sleep. We all woke up this morning at 845...mom and dad love that I sleep so late! We ate breakfast; mom made cinnamon rolls and dad made coffee. I ate applesauce. Then we got ready for the beach so mom made us a picnic lunch and off we went. 
It took us an hour to get to Stockton Lake. I slept the whole way there. Mom and dad got to hang out in the front and just enjoy talking. We pulled into what we thought was a beach...but it was actually a small area with rocks! What?! That ain't no beach fools! Ha, ha...okay, take 2...we left that hole and drove to Ruark Beach...still not sand per say...but less rocky and perk; there were other human beings there.
We ate our lunch and went swimming. We drove home - I slept on the way back and then we played when we got home! Daddy tried out his new riding lawnmower and mommy and I took a 2 hour nap! Yay!

What a Fun Saturday!
Mom can't sleep. It's 3am and she's been up since 1. Don't blame me...I'm fast asleep right now...whoops...I mean I'm writing this blog right now...anyways - mom better go to bed or she'll be dragging some serious butt tomorrow.
I had a really fun day with mom and dad. I woke up around 830/845'ish and we headed to swim class. I got my Aquababes Swimming certificate! Then dad took us to the mall and treated mom to a pedicure. Awww dad...you're so good to mom! I slept the whole way home and then dad puttered around outside on his new riding lawnmower. Thank god we got one! He'd tell mom he was going to cut the lawn and she wouldn't see him for days! Okay, maybe not days...but it it felt like it.
Tomorrow = well, actually it's today, technically...we're going to the beach! I can't wait! Dad said he'd take us on a picnic...mom and I are so excited. She's going to pack a lunch; sandwiches...pasta salad...and chocolate chip cookies...mmmm :) I can't wait to show off my swim moves.
I wish dad never had to go to work...and money just grew on trees. I love hanging out with him. He's so much fun and he's the only one who can make me laugh until my belly hurts.
I hear mom...I think she's trying to go to sleep again. Shhh...talk to you later!
