The (temporary) End to the Busyness

WARNING: This blog post contains one gross picture. Scroll slowly and I'll let you know when it's coming up so you can avert your eyes.

This week I rode in my new car seat for the first time. Mom and Dad had some trouble getting it into Moby (that's what they call the van, because it is a big, white whale), but it all worked fine and I wasn't squished into that infant carrier.

My new car seat is so roomy!

When we were in town on Wednesday, we went to visit Grandma Gail and Grandpa Kevin at their new place. I played on the floor and watched Max and Abby run around.

Okay, now. The next picture is the gross one.

Are you sure you want to see this?

All right.

At Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's, I had an upset tummy.

Caught in the act.

Okay, so maybe that wasn't so bad....

On with the show!

Auntie Kara came down Thursday night to help with Jenna's wedding. She did the marrying and helped Mommy with all of the desserts. I only got to see her for a little while, because Daddy took me to Grandma Wynne and Grandpa Al's again so he could help Mommy, too.

While I was staying at Grandma and Grandpa's, Daddy and I went to see some friends. I wore some of the nice new clothes Auntie Kara bought me.

Me looking like Daddy. Except Daddy doesn't have an actual honest-and-for-true Polo shirt.

Daddy and I had a lot of fun visiting with Sebastian and Rhonda and the boys - all three of them. They sure have a lot of cool toys. I was only able to taste a few of them, though. And they had these skinny little dogs that didn't bark - I think someone called them cats. I wonder if that's what breed of dog they are?

Rhonda and Tennyson and me. Getting me and Tennyson to be still at the same time is a challenge.

Me and the boys: Xander, Tennyson, and Urizen. (from left to right)

I'm not in this one, but Daddy is. Sebastian and Urizen, and Daddy is holding Tennyson and Xander.

Back at Grandpa and Grandma's, I played on the floor and read some books, among other things.

So many choices, which book should I read?

I will read them all!

Enjoying a quiet meal by myself.

I really like my chair Great-aunt Nancy gave to me. I play with it a lot when I am staying with Grandpa and Grandma.

Listening to the chair make noise.

What was that? I didn't do it.

On Sunday when Daddy came to get me we went to see Great-grandma Dorothy for a little while, but Daddy didn't take any pictures. He was really tired.

And that is it for now. The next few weeks should be less hectic.

Have a good week everyone!
