So Tell Me Who I See When I Look in Your Eyes, Is That You Baby or Just a Brilliant Disguise

 

Wow is blogging out of style now or am I just the worst one in the blogging world? Probably both. Its been the ugliest week weather-wise but up until last Sunday, we had hot, sunny, summer weather and I was playing outside every day in my shorts and hat and I would go for walks in the neighbourhood with my mommy, daddy or nonno and would scrape my knees on the concrete because I was wearing shorts. I love to climb stairs, its my newest passion and I can't get enough of it. I needed sunscreen and we actually even played in the sprinkler one day because it was so hot and Grady and I needed to be cooled off. What happened? Now its dark and cold and rainy and it feels like forever and a day. Daddy hasn't cut the lawn in two weeks! This week was kind of busy even though my mommy didn't work much but we had an appointment with my OT in Vancouver on Thursday and then an appointment with my physio on Friday and then mommy is back to working Sat, Sun and Mon but we also have Grady on Monday and Tuesday so phew. The best news recently is that mommy insured her old Ford again so now daddy takes it to work and we have the van all the time so we can go out now even when daddy is at work so it leaves us with more freedom which will be especially nice once summer finally arrives. The bad news is that the car is acting like a lemon and needs a new alternator belt, alternator and battery so its stalling out and we need to charge it every day in order for it to start. Kind of inconvenient which defeats the purpose of insuring it for additional convenience in the first place! Wow, what big grown up words I am using. Anyway I have been doing well and am growing a big belly and saying more words (even though they mostly sound the same). I love books and poiting to objects and chanting out the names of them. We haven't been to Motoring Munchkins in weeks now but mommy plans to take us there tomorrow. I love to climb so I can't wait! Hope you have a great week! Posted by Picasa

Sometimes I Feel Like I'm Always on Call, Sometimes Even I Am Allowed to Fall, he Says Come Down Here For a Minute, Sweet Girl

 

WOW my mommy has been so busy...the reason for the lack of updates. She started her new job and has been working practically every day! Daddy has been doing such a wonderful job of taking care of me and we have fun together. I miss mommy when she is gone all day but at night its ok because when I wake up, I see her right away! Mommy likes her new job and is just coming off of six straight shifts in a row but now she has the next four days off so that is great. We are going to go swimming finally! Grady's mommy, Karen, is pregnant again (congrats to them!) so that means that come November, Grady may not be coming over on Mondays and Tuesdays anymore because his mommy will be home on maternity leave again. She doesn't know for sure yet though, she may need the time just with the newborn and she may still want Grady to get out. Finally the weather is nicer and I have been spending lots of time playing on the sundeck that daddy and poppa built last year. I love being outside but no so much in the grass, its weird. This Sunday coming up is Mother's Day! Don't forget about your mom's all of you out there...xoxoxo Posted by Picasa
