Meeting More New People

2011-03-06

On Sunday and Monday, I was still visiting Mommy's family. We came home on Monday morning and I went to see the doctor. I have put on a little weight, but the doctor says that's a good thing. I am already having trouble fitting into some of my favorite outfits.

Relaxing

On Tuesday I went to La Crosse with Mom and Dad - they needed to exchange a toy they bought and Mommy decided she needed a new toy too. On Wednesday and Thursday, we stayed home.

On Friday, we went to Granpa Al and Grandma Wynne's house for the weekend. Getting me, Duke, Mommy, Daddy, and all of our stuff in car was a tight squeeze. When Daddy bought that car, he had no idea in a few years he would have a wife, a big dog, and kid to drive around - otherwise he would have bought something with a little more room.

Friday night, Mom and Dad went out to eat and do some shopping, so Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al watched me.

On Saturday morning, I went with Dad to Great-grandma Dorothy's house, where I saw Auntie Diane again and I met Great-uncle David for the first time.

Auntie Diane and me.

Great-uncle David was happy to meet me.

Great-grandma was happy to see us, but Daddy botched all of those pictures, so you'll have to wait until I visit again to see some new pictures of her.

In the afternoon, Mom and Dad took me to see some of their friends. Sebastian and Rhonda have three boys: Xander, Tennyson, and Urizen (and Urizen is only a few months older than me!).

I'm the one in stripes, Tennyson is wearing Spider-man, Xander is in brown, and Rhonda is the one holding me.

We spent a fun afternoon at Urizen's house - I can't wait until I can come back and play with some of the toys! Next time, Mommy and Daddy should bring an extra bottle - I was really hungry by the time we got back to Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's house.

And today we came home. Mom and Dad bought lots of groceries this morning, so the car was even a tighter fit going home - but we made it.

Daddy and I took Duke for a walk around the lake once we got home. I wore my panda hat. You may remember that it was part of my going home outfit and that it was much too big for me. It is still a little big, but I am growing into it fast.

Mommy goes back to work tomorrow, and Daddy will be working a split shift so he can stay home with me. Should be an interesting week getting used to our new schedule.

Take care everybody - have a good week.
