Today Mama's friend Leslie came over to meet me and it was love at first sight! After visiting a bit and charming her with my impressively loud poops, we walked down to Taco Mac for some lunch. I slept most of the time while the girls chatted, but I enjoyed being out with them! Can't wait to see you again, Leslie!
While Cooper rested at home with Daddy, me and Mama headed out to the pool for some fun in the sun. This is the first summer I have actually enjoyed the pool - and boy did I make up for lost time! I splashed around in the fountain, dumped buckets of water on my own head and on Mama, rolled cars and trucks around underwater and even threw the football with Mama. There was so much to do that I could have spent the whole day there, but after a couple of hours of non-stop action we headed back home for a much-needed nap. I can't wait to go again!
Last night I felt so rotten that Mama couldn't get me to eat for almost 12 hours, I cried my little eyes out all night long and it was just a rough night for everyone. Me and Mama went to the doctor first thing in the morning, and after spending some time looking me over, the doctor sent us to the ER at Children's Healthcare.
All of the doctors and nurses at CHOA were so nice and gentle and sweet with me - they were wonderful! And I was so pooped that I didn't even mind getting an IV, X-rays, my blood drawn, and just poked and prodded. I really just wanted to sleep!
Thankfully, after hearing some scarier scenarios, after all of the tests came back, it turns out that I have a milk protein allergy, so Mama can't have milk or cheese for a while. Sorry Mama!
The good news is that I am happy and healthy and eating like a champ again!
H: Today was the first day me and Cooper were at home with Mama during the day while Daddy went to work. And we had a great time! I tried to be patient when Mama had to feed and change Cooper, and then me and Mama played in the playroom all morning while Cooper slept (Man, he still sleeps a lot! During the day, anyways.).
Then later Uncle Jeremy came over to surprise me with a trip to see Up at the movies with him! We got popcorn and candy at the theater and just had the best time. Thank you Uncle Jeremy! I love you lots!
Hey Mama. I have floor tile on my head.
Time to school Mama in some Candyland. I actually let her have her own board this time!
Me and Coop. I love him an unbelievable amount already.
What a great day!!!!!!!!!!!
...and Cooper. He so much to learn about baseball and he's SLEEPING!
C: Huh? What did I miss?
I am always making some sort of noise, whether it be hiccups, grunts, coos (or "purrs" as my Aunt Lucy calls them), grumbles, etc. I think this makes me excellent company.
I love, love, LOVE to be held.
I find Harrison's chatter, hugs and even his rather loud yells when playing very soothing. It is rare that I will cry while Harrison is in earshot.
I love to have my feet rubbed (I am my Mother's child, after all).
I hate baths.
I love being outside and going on walks in my stroller.
I go from happy-go-lucky to furious in 2.7 seconds when hunger hits (again, have you met my Mother?).
Watch out if you are the one dealing with my diaper - I have peed on Daddy more times than I can count (he he he) and explosive-pooped on Mama once too. Charming, I know.
I love to hold hands.
I love meeting Mama and Daddy's friends - so if we haven't met yet, come on over!
H: Mama did not want to spend any more time at the house than we absolutely had to since she's been on bed rest and/or stuck in a hospital bed for the past 2 weeks, so when it was time for dinner we walked to downtown Decatur. Thankfully almost every restaurant has outdoor seating (Coop's too little to be around lots of people in enclosed places) and somehow we landed on Ruby Tuesday. It was actually a really great dinner and we got to talk to a lot of nice people too - I mean, who can resist stopping to talk to us when they see us 3 handsome boys, right?
Mama and her boys (minus Daddy - somebody had to take the picture!):
H: This afternoon we all decided to get some fresh air (Mama saw the doctor yesterday and was freed from bed rest!), so we headed to Peachtree-DeKalb Aiport for the Good Neighbor Airshow. It was so cool to see some of the crazy stunts the planes could do - we even saw a plane land on a moving pickup truck!
C: It was dang hot, so I chilled in the shade of a plane wing.
H: Mama and Daddy said that this swing was mine from when I was little, but it has been stored away for so long that it is like having a brand new toy again! Luckily it can hold up to 25lbs and I am just 27, so I have been swinging my heart out lately. Coop's too small for it right now anyways...
C: What is Harrison doing in my swing?
Daddy sure likes having both of his boys in his arms!
