Week 17

There seems to be a battle of sorts happening at my house these days.  Nearly everyday Daddy says something along the lines of "Go Bears" and then my sister gets all mad and starts shouting "We don't say that...we say Go Pack Go".  Daddy's pretty adamant that I'm going to be a Bears fan but Abby want's me to be a Packer fan.  Mommy?  She's pretty quiet on this subject...but I DO see her wearing a lot of green and gold these days.  Clearly this weeks fabric is Bears and Daddy seems pretty happy about it.

I've been learning how to blow bubbles with my mouth this week which makes my shirt all wet...all the time!  But I sure do love the sound it makes.  I'm sleeping in my crib for most of the night now too.  Not the whole night though.  Once I cry a few times in an hour Mommy scoops me up and puts me right back in my rock and play so the whole family can sleep again.  It think it's a pretty fun game.  Mommy's not so sure.

Lots of people have been saying that I look a lot like my sister so check out this picture of her just a few weeks older than I am now.  We are basically the same baby right?  Mommy also thought it was funny that this was my sister's 17 week picture....she didn't even plan it.  She let my sister pick my fabric for this week and she chose Bears.  Too funny right??

Week 16

According to Bubby's Facebook post earlier this morning I think Michigan lost this weekend.  Sorry Bubby and Erin!  Mom also says she knows Daddy will be mad we used this fabric but we support all the family teams around here (even the Bears).

This week Mommy tried something new and put me in my crib to sleep.  I'm not sure how I feel about it since my nose is all stuffy from my cold and I have a hard time sleeping.  She says it's time though.  I guess I'm not a very good sleeper.  I mean, aren't I supposed to wake up every hour and cry so they know I'm alive?  I thought I was.  I guess my sister was sleeping through the night long ago and already in her crib but Mommy's been trying EVERYTHING to get me sleeping better.  It's not my fault I get lonely in that room at night.

Week 15

Boiler Up!!  This week's fabric is for Daddy.  It came along with some Michigan and Bears fabric one weekend after Mommy posted pictures of me in a Packers outfit AND on Ohio State fabric.  I think it was the Ohio State fabric that pushed Bubby over the hill.  She just couldn't stand it anymore!  Mommy's college didn't have a football team so this is one thing they do not fight over.  I can be a Boilermaker fan which makes Daddy happy.

I've started rolling and rolling and rolling.  Grandma said I'm like a little log these days.  I spent my first night away from Mom and Dad this past weekend.  It was their five year anniversary and they went out to a fancy dinner with friends.  So fancy that even I wasn't invited along.  So - my sister and I stayed with Grandma and Pappa and had a blast.  I'm chatting up a storm these days, I just have so much to say!

Oh, and!  The big news.  I'm mostly sleeping through the night.  I say mostly because many nights I wake up every few hours and want my paci but Mommy's not feeding me after she puts me to bed anymore.  She seems pretty happy about that....but I know she's waiting for the night when I just SLEEP instead of making her get up every few hours (or every hour like I did last night...hehehe).  I think she's just tired!

Mommy picked this specific picture this week because it perfectly captures how I spend most of the days.  Chewing on my little hands and slobbering EVERYWHERE!  I'm a wet mess most of the time..maybe it's time for bibs?

Week 14

A couple more firsts for me this week.  I spent my first week at daycare which was super fun.  I like all my new friends and boy do they tire me out!  When I get home in the evenings I just want to snuggle with Mommy and sleep.  The first week of daycare also brought my first cold though.  You can't tell it from this picture but I'm not feeling so well these days.  I've got a nasty cough and a stuffy nose, but no fever and I'm generally pretty happy still.  Yet another first was I finally slept through the night!  Three nights in a row in fact, and one night I didn't even wake up for my paci the entire night.  Though, this cold has thrown all that out the window.  I'm up nearly every half hour now because I can't breathe well and I'm coughing.  Mom says "two steps forward, one step back" but hopefully I'll get over this cold soon.

This weeks fabric came from my Aunt Joey and cousin Kayden.  Mommy picked it out for this week because a few days ago my sister wanted to watch Dumbo so we all watched it together.  It's a strange movie!  Aunt Joey is pregnant now with the first little boy in our family.  I can't wait to meet him!!
