Saturday 27 October--Today you had a very fussy day; we think it is due to you having both a runny nose/cold and trying for those 1 year molars still yet (this part is unconfirmed, as you seem to think me putting my finger in your mouth means I want you to bite it, so we can only suspect based on you chewing your fingers all the time back there). You were pretty good when Lyn came over for dinner; she is daddy's former boss, still his co-worker, and she has babysat you a few times now. We made her dinner (thai curry chicken thighs) to thank her for this. She brought you a present--your first toy truck! You like it, but don't quite know how to really play with it just yet.
Monday 29 October--You seem to be feeling better today, as do all of us (we have all had a bit of your runny nose stuff), though not so much first thing this morning--that was still rough/fussy time. You woke up around 7:40 and took a while to get calmed down. Once you did, the whole day started going better. Normally, I would have had you go back to bed, as we don't get up that early, but today was professional pictures day for turning 1 year old (which is now 13 months). Got you ready and out the door nearly on time (just 4 minutes later than was planning), and you promptly fell asleep as soon as car was in motion. Traffic was a bit heavy, so both the photographer and I were late, coincidentally arriving at the same time, so it all worked out :) We had your pictures done outside at St. James' Farm Forest Preserve--it was a little chilly, not too bad, though, and plenty of sunshine, so we stayed warm enough (well-dressed helped, of course). You did a super job of being cooperative--insisted on having your blankie with you, which I think will just make the pix cuter. Anyhow, after that, came back home, got you some more food, daddy left for work, then we went to the gym. You were great there, too--just got upset right at the end when I came because one of the ladies was telling the other kid "NO" (she was trying to kick a little while near you) and think you thought she was getting on to you, thus very upset until mommy consoled you. We came back home, I showered, then it was off to Costco. You were asleep once again as soon as car was going, literally (Costco is around 5 minutes from the house, even less if all green lights). Really didn't want to wake you, so left you in seat and put in cart, covered up by my red cloth jacket. Amazingly, even with the wind, you only batted your eyes a bit once we got in the store and then it was right back to napping as I shopped. Since you were sleeping so well, I had lunch there (pizza, of course), then returned home. You were still sleeping, so I left you in seat and brought you in that way. Sat you in kitchen, where you snored away the next hour and a half or so as mommy made chocolate chip cookies lol. You woke up not long before daddy came home. Tried to give you a little bit of cookie, but you were only interested in your bottle. Daddy took over while mommy went out to work. My lessons went well, picked up some dinner at Steak n Shake on way home, then got the report from dad about the evening. All went well, you both played a lot; he did have to chase you around mid-diaper change, though, as you did not want to have one on at all once you got the other off. Told me you crawled right out your door bare butt wiggling away lol. Finally got you diapered when you got cornered at end of hall. You finally ate the cookie I had tried to give you and really liked it (yay!). You also wanted to eat our dinners--kept crawling all over and lunging at us (we were in living room floor, and yes, we shared with you, you just wanted more and more!) Read you a bedtime story (which ended up being a weird/creepy book if you ask me; we'll see what you think when you are older--"The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin") and you did not really fuss as you got put down for sleep. Hope tomorrow will be just as nice or better for you :)
Wednesday 31 October--Happy 2nd Halloween! Today started with taking you to the gym with me, which went well, then back home to clean up, have lunch and get you to take a nap. Oh how you fought it today! About the time you got up, it was time for the trick-or-treaters to start coming (hours are 3-7pm here). Yet none came until just over an hour into it. A bunch came at once, one of the little girls said you were cute :) You were obsessed with the Milk Duds boxes, had to try to keep you from eating them lol. We ended up with 17 total kids coming by, so there was quite a bit of candy left. Daddy came home near the end of the hours and brought a little pumpkin plus some cake, which you were nearly attacking him to get. We went out to Half Price Books, got a couple things there, then to Houlihan's because they were having a super special (buy one get one dinner free). We got you mac n cheese and mashed potatoes, which you loved, no surprise. You also sort of drank from a cup--think we may get lucky enough for you to skip a sippy (*fingers crossed*). It was a great Halloween :)
