Another week has gone by. They go so quickly! On Sunday we went to two parties. I got to see Mommy's work friend Kathy W. Her daughter Gracie graduated. Kathy was so excited to see me. She carried me around and introduced me to all of their friends and family. It was fun, I got to meet one of their kitty's too.
After that party we went to one of my third cousin's graduation party. I got to see Grandma Karen and all a lot of my Westfall cousins. After that we went to the store so Mommy had food for work.
On Tuesday we went and saw Barbara, Dave, Adam and Alexander. Adam was playing a game outside. They had this ball that they would run after. It was hard for me to follow, because I was talking to Barbara most of the time. It was very warm and sunny, Mommy had my sun hat and my sunglasses on.
The week went by very quickly, but luckily I got to see Erin on Thursday. We went to Sam's to check prices on things she needs for her new condo. I got to ride in Mommy's new Kosy Carrier. I really like it. I like being close to Mommy.
On Friday things got pretty crazy. I got to meet Alfred and Marielle finally. I've been hearing about them since before I was born! They call me the "Prince from Bloomington." I think I like that title. On Friday, we played with Grandma Katy waiting for them to arrive. Then we went to cousin Sean's graduation from Tri-Valley HS. It was VERY warm in the gym, but Marielle was keeping me cool. I started to fall asleep, but then the band played this song, and I was afraid that it would have a "BAM" in it, so I stayed awake for the rest.
I got to see Hailey at the graduation too. After that was over we all went to Aunt Chris' house to eat. I was hungry when we got there, so Mommy fed me. I was so excited to see everyone that I got tired. I was having trouble going to sleep at Aunt Chris' house. We got home around 11 and I slept until 5 am.
Saturday, we went with A & M to Aunt Mary's house to see Hailey and Dillon and Daisy and Uncle Marshall. I played with Hailey's toys and took a nap most of the time. We then went to Grandma Katy's for a cookout. Barbara came over and helped Marielle talk to Daddy and Uncle Tim. Saturday night we got home at about 9 pm. Daddy gave me 4 oz of formula and I slept from 10:30-5!
Sunday was a big day! It was Sean's graduation party! Mommy and I met up with Grandma Katy, Grandpa Carl, Aunt Carol, Uncle Tim, Thomas, Alfred and Marielle for church at 9 am. Mommy fed me right before we left so I took a nap while Aunt Carol was holding me. Alfred and Marielle met up with Tante Rosemary and Uncle Joe after church, so Mommy I went to Target to buy Sean some items for when he goes to college. Then we came home and Mommy, Daddy and I all took a nap before Sean's party.
Right before we were getting ready to leave Grandma Karen stopped by! I got to play with her for a little bit. She was very happy to see me. We headed out to Aunt Chris' & Uncle Denny's house. It was HOT. I had on a new pair of bibs I got from Marielle and Alfred. They didn't last the entire party though, I got hot and Mommy took them off. I got to see Tante Rosemary and Great Uncle Joe for the first time. Uncle Joe said he likes to read my blog and look at the pictures Mommy posts!
I played with lots of people at the party...Klohe, Kasie, Tina, Luci, Mike, Carol, Tiffany, Danielle, Thomas, Chuck, Karen, Marshie, Sean, Marshall, Grandma Katy, Marielle and Alfred. Tina put me to sleep and I slept in the pack-n-play in the shed for 3 hours before Mommy and Daddy went home at midnight! However, I don't like being disturbed...so I woke up Mommy at 1 am, and eventually got to sleep in bed with her because she was tired.
We were up at 6:30 am to get ready to go to breakfast one last time with Alfred and Marielle. We also saw more 'shirt tail' cousins of Mommy's. After that we went and visited Aunt Chris and Sean real quick to get something Mommy forgot at the party. Then Daddy went home to work on his car and we went to help Erin move her computer and bed. I slept a lot while at Erin's...I've had a BUSY weekend! More stories to come soon.
Mommy also told me that Uncle Joe's bird on his hat and shirt stood for him being a soldier. She said he was in the 101st Airborne. When I get older I'm going to ask him more about that. Mommy and Daddy said it's important to thank past and present soldiers today...so thanks you guys!!
Mommy said there are lots of pictures uploaded, but not all are up yet! Stay tuned!!

My first illness...
Last week was quite eventful. That's why I haven't written. I'm recovering from my first illness. I'm fine now, so don't worry. But, before I get to that I've got to tell you about the fun stuff that happened before!
On Tuesday, the 11th Mommy had to work late. So we got to hang out int he morning. We went to her work and visited everyone. I got to see both Kathy's, Rosemarie, Emily, Linda, and Sharon! I was ready for a nap though, after everyone held me I got kinda fussy. Mommy had Kathy S hold me and she is an experienced Grandma. She knew just how to put me to sleep. I fooled her though, because when Mommy put me back in my car seat, I woke back up. After that I went to stay with Dawn until Daddy could pick me up. Daddy and I were hanging out on the couch. I learned that I can sit up. I was practicing it for a long time.
On Wednesday, Erin came to visit us. She was telling Mommy stories about how she's getting ready to move into her new condo. Her and Mommy talk a lot when they are together. It's hard for me to keep up sometimes. I was busy trying to stand up while Erin was helping me.
On Thursday, I started to cough so I went to Grandma Katy's instead of daycare. I didn't really know why I was doing it, I couldn't stop it from happening. Mommy took my temperature and said that I didn't have a fever so I was ok. My cough then turned in to sneezing and coughing. Mommy called the Dr.'s office and they said that if I didn't have a fever I didn't need to come in. I went to Grandma's again on Friday afternoon, Mommy stayed home with me in the morning because I didn't sleep well on Thursday.
On Friday night, I was miserable. I could NOT stop scratching my right ear. That made Mommy think this was more than just a cough...so she said she was going to take me to the Dr.
Saturday Morning, we went to State Farm's parking lot. We got my seat inspected and adjusted. I got to play with Mommy in the back of the car most of the time. However I did get to meet the Neigh-bear. He was pretty quiet. I got my picture taken with him. After that it started to rain. Once we were done with that, Mommy took me over to the Dr.'s office. Dr. Kaye wasn't there so I saw someone else. He said that both of my ears were infected and that I needed medicine.
I wasn't quite sure what they meant by medicine. Mommy took me home and then went to get the stuff at Walgreen's. When she got back she had a bottle of some stuff. It has a big long word on it. Since I can't read I just figured it will help me get better I'd better take it. Mommy used this pointy thing to give the medicine to me. I wanted to hold it. Then all the sudden this thick stuff was in my mouth. The taste is hard to describe, but it's definitely not formula or Mommy's milk.
I also got what Mommy keeps calling ear drops. There is another little bottle that it comes in. Mommy has Daddy warm it up before she gives it to me. I don't like it when it's not warmed up. It must work though because once I had them in I could hear a LOT better! I started talking because I could hear again. Mommy was worried about me making these sounds...but she's getting used to it.
I didn't sleep well on Sunday night, which was day two of medicine. I think it was because I didn't realize how sick I was. Mommy said my body was working real hard to make me feel better and that it needs help from the medicine. We didn't go anywhere on Sunday or Monday. Mommy picked up my illness on Monday and so we slept most of the day.
Tuesday I was feeling better. Mommy worked all day and then had to go to a meeting at night. She wasn't feeling any better after her meeting. Wednesday she went to the Dr. She got some medicine too. Mommy said she had a sinus infection. I don't know what a sinus is, kinda sounds like a name of a person. I don't think I would want to be friends with Sinus. Especially when he makes Mommy cough like she was and she kept making noise with the white things by her nose.
Mommy started to feel better on Wednesday after she got her medicine. Since I was feeling better, I slept from 8 pm - 2:45 am! I did that for Mommy, she need some rest. Mommy thanked me for sleeping so long. I'm glad I could help out. Last night I slept ok, but woke up too early for Mommy.
Mommy had something cooking overnight, because I could smell it. She asked Daddy to help her with it because she needed to take it to work with her. She said it was for a staff retreat or something. Daddy took me to see Dawn because Mommy hadn't taken a shower yet when it was time to go. She picked me up early and we went to see Dr. Kaye!
I had what they called my 4 month 'well baby check.' Here are my stats:
Head: 17.25 in - 90th percentile
Height: 24.75 in - 50th percentile
Weight: 15 lb 3 oz - 50th percentile
Dr. Kaye said that I'm doing real good! And she said that Mommy and Daddy can start to give me some cereal. I'll keep you posted on that, I don't know what it is...
They also made me cry. I'm not a fan of it either. The only good thing is that Mommy was there to make me feel better. Mommy said that I had a fever tonight. That explains why I was not happy and I tried to tell her by crying when we were at Grandma's for dinner. She gave me some other medicine for that, and it's helped a little.
I'm off to bed I'll talk to you all later...be sure to look at my pictures!

Mom's rock!
This week Mommy was home a lot more. We played on the floor and we've been reading this book about what sound a duck makes. I think I need to see some of these animals in person, they seem a little small in the pictures.
Mommy has been teaching me how to make a new noise. Daddy doesn't think it's such a good idea. He says it's a bad habit. I think it's funny when Mommy makes the noise so I want to do it too. I've just about got it figured out. There will be video when that happens...according to Mommy.
I tend to fall asleep eating with Mommy. That means that she gives me a bath in the morning before I got to see Dawn. I had a nice bath and got lotion put on and everything. When she took me in to see Daddy I burped...and spit up. It went on my clean clothes! And on Mommy. Oops. I wasn't quite clean anymore. But I was clean enough to not get my shirt changed.
That night we went for a car ride. This time Aunt Chris was in the car with us! She was talking to me a lot on the drive. We went to see cousin Sean play on the U of I campus. They played two songs. I was really liking the first song, that is until it made a big BAM! It scared me and so I cried! I wasn't expecting that! Luckily Aunt Chris was holding me and she made it ok. After that she covered my ears when it was going to go BAM. That made it much better. Mommy took video, so hopefully she can get some of it up online for you to watch soon.
After the performance we went to get Sean so that he didn't have to ride home on the bus. Mommy sings a song to me about busses so I kinda know what they are. I was hungry when we got done and couldn't wait to get to the pizza place we were going to. So I ate in my car seat while daddy drove there. Mommy had a bottle for me. I felt much better after I ate! I got hungry again before we left, so Mommy and I went to the car for me to eat. I didn't sleep very well on the ride home, and finally went to sleep around 10 pm.
Yesterday morning I let Mommy sleep in. I woke up at 12:30 and 3:30 am to eat. The second time Mommy let me eat in bed with her. We slept until 7:30 for me to eat again. Then we finally got up for the day.
We went to breakfast and I got to meet Nancy and Kathy. They work with Mommy. They liked me a lot. I got so many kisses, I was glad I had on a bib! They kept passing me back and fourth, I almost couldn't tell who had me sometimes. I took a little nap when Mommy's food came. Then we all went to Mommy's work and hung out in the lobby for a while. They played with me even more after Mommy fed me! They said they'd come to see me again real soon!
Mommy and I ran some errands before picking up lunch to bring home to Daddy. I didn't take a lot of naps and was pretty tired the rest of the day. I went to bed at my usual time of 8:30 and slept until after 5 AM!?! Mommy said she was up at 3 am because she was ready to feed me. She made some milk for later for me. I was starving when I woke up.
I finally went back to bed around 6:30ish with Mommy. We slept until about 8:30, then I ate again and she got ready to go to Grandma Katy's for breakfast. Daddy made waffles and Uncle Tim cooked the sausage links. Grandma made a breakfast casserole that Mommy said was real good! Aunt Mary brought cheese cake and fruit. Aunt Carol and Thomas played with me. Thomas is a funny, he makes faces at me. I even got to see Molly after she got off work!
I was tired from seeing everyone and took a nap while Mommy put in a load of clothes and downloaded more photos from the day. Then we went to Grandma Karen's for dinner. I played with Aunt JohAnna for a time, and I spit up a lot of my food on her. She wasn't fond of it because she had just taken a shower...but she said it was ok. I wasn't the first to do it to her. That made me feel better. I played with Aunt Barb and Grandma for a while too.
I'm glad that my Mommy is my Mommy. I hope you're glad your Mommy is your Mommy too! I love Mommies...and Mine just a bit more.

Hugs for Everyone
Last week was very weird. Mommy had to work late two times. On Tuesday, I spent the afternoon with Grandma Katy. We had lots of fun. I got to see Sean too. On Thursday, I hung out with Daddy.
Wednesday we went to Pekin with Mikey to see Greg. He was in a suit and we went in a big house. We said hi and then Mommy fed me in another room. After that we went to dinner and Mommy changed my diaper in the office of the restaurant we were at! After that I had pains in my tummy and Daddy sat with me in the car. Then Mikey came and we went for a walk while Mommy and Daddy finished their dinner.
On Friday we went to see Lily and Megan. Lily and I are buddies. We like to swat arms at each other. It's funny because Mommy and Angela like to talk about what we are thinking. If they only knew.
Saturday Daddy went to Chicago with Mikey. Mommy gave me a bath after breakfast and then we played. Grandma Karen and Grace came and hung out with me while Mommy got a massage. We had lots of fun, Grace likes me a lot! Mommy and I took a nap together afterward because Grace and Grandma wore me out.
I was wide awake at 3:30 am on Sunday morning. So, Mommy let me play with my gym until I got tired. Once I did, she swaddled me for the first time in forever it seemed. We slept on the couch together until I was hungry at 6 am. Then I was ready for some sleeping on my own.
Yesterday I turned four months old!! Mommy says I'm getting big. I have to admit that I am getting the hang of using those things that hang off my body. I like to grab things with them and put them in my mouth. I like it when Mommy sings the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" song to me.
I got to sit outside. Mommy was taking my picture a lot. I also got to see more cousins for the first time at a party we went to. I got to see Aunt Barb and Uncle Phil, John, Tim, Shara and Brenda. I took a nap on Brenda and Grandma. I was playing with Aunt Barb, she makes me laugh!
We all took naps after the party and then went to see Grandma Katy and Grandpa Carl for dinner. Aunt Mary, Uncle Marshall and Hailey stopped by too! Hailey likes me a lot, and we hugged. She has six teeth now. I'm jealous, I want a tooth. Hailey was sitting in my bouncy seat, I guess I can share it with her.
This morning I gave Daddy a special present! He wasn't expecting it though. I managed to not get any on the onsie I was in too. Isn't that funny!
Hugs to you!
