Bright Lights, Big City

2011-03-28

This was a big week: I went to the clinic and got some shots, Grandma Wynne came to watch me again, and we all went to the big city for Auntie Kara's birthday!

Early in the week Mommy decided to curl her hair - so Daddy had her pose for a picture with me.

Me and Mommy.

On Thursday I went to see the doctor for my two-month check-up and to get some shots.

Me at the clinic, wrapped in Daddy's sweatshirt to stay warm while we waited.

The nurse is giving me some drops.

My first shot...

Screaming after my first shot...

My second shot - they didn't even wait for me to catch my breath after screaming!

After the shots, I fell asleep.

While I was sleeping, Daddy took me to the Library to visit some of his co-workers. This time he remembered to take some pictures.

Here I am with Ammara and Susan.

Here I am with Jullie.

A box came this week with my name on it - Auntie Kara sent me a play gym. Dad set it up for me right away and took a picture.

In my play gym. Not really sure what to do with it yet....

On Sunday, Mom and Dad took me to the big city for Auntie Kara's birthday. We were gone all day and Daddy was too tired when we got home to do the blog - I just wanted everyone to know it wasn't my fault the blog was a day late.

Here's a close-up of me sort-of smiling.

Back at Kara's house, I gave her a birthday present.

Kara and me.

Kara, Josh, and me.

They still haven't accepted that the hat is too big for me.

Uncle Josh was showing me how to use his iPad.

After we left Kara and Josh's house, we went to the LEGO store so Mom and Dad could fill up their gift boxes with free LEGO bricks. I got hungry before they were done, so you can guess what happened...

From the LEGO store we went to Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's house to pick up Duke. And I was hungry again, so we stayed there for a while before going home. And I was hungry again when we got home. Daddy fed me and we both fell asleep on the the couch for a little while before Daddy put me in my crib.

This next week should be less eventful. That's good. We all need a rest.

Have a good week!
