Last Saturday, you had a play date with Daddy's friend (Jay) and his granddaughter. Everyone was so excited to bring you two together to play. Daddy said you did great. He said there was a baby there and you were an angel around the baby. We will pray that continues when you see that the baby is staying in our house! I expected you to be gone for a couple of hours and you were gone all day and night. When you got home, we cuddled and you went to bed. While you were gone, we got bad news. Grampa Larry's brother, Uncle Ugly died. It was sudden and unexpected. While you have met him, the loss that you will experience is growing up without him picking on you :) It is a sad weekend for us and all the Blankman family. While it has been several years since Grampa Larry died, in someways it feels like it was more recent and this was a major blow.
On Sunday, we had Mother's Day. You and daddy bought me flowers, cards and 2 big bags of sunflower seeds. PERFECTION :) Most mom's might want chocolate but not a good idea with Joey cooking in there. Daddy said that you picked out my mother's day card. At the store, you started barking and there was a dog card on the shelf. Good job buddy :) We took a photo and I am so bummed it was so windy but you did a great job.
After that, we went to the Blankman's house and see Gramma Debbie and Great Gramma Dorothy. Plus, you got to see all your Auntie's. You were shy at first but then you thought you owned the place :)
After that, we did Gramma Ruth's visit and you played with your cousins. We had dinner in the old market and then over to Gramma Lang's. It was a long, long day and I was so tired. Thanks to you and daddy for a great Mother's Day!
On Monday, I made sketti and you love sketti! Now that it is warmer, we can strip you down and let you eat sketti nekked! We did a bath and then we hung out.
On Tuesday, we went out to dinner and we were on our way to take you to Aunt Sheila's house because we were going to a concert. We ended up skipping the concert because I started having contractions and needed to lay down. Bummer for all of us.
Wednesday was Uncle Ugly's funeral service. There was no speaking service so we brought you up to see everyone. Gramma Debi D chased you all over the place! You were pretty well behaved.
Thursday was the actual funeral and you were at daycare. We went out to dinner and you got new sunglasses from Gramma Debi D. You enjoyed playing with them!
Friday & Saturday were boring with a couple of errands and being home.
Random things this week. We now have conversations in the car. We talk about the sounds a puppy makes (woof) and a kitty makes (eow). I say "Say mama" and you laugh and say "dada."
You have completely taken over daddy's ipad and now, you know where your movies and games are. I am totally shocked at how quickly you have learned your way around that thing. There have definitely been some power struggles though. I think you are winning :)
We got some great snacks for you this week - raspberries, blueberries and strawberries. Raspberries end up getting fed to me but you love the blueberries and strawberries!
We have had some problems with your sleep. You are waking up every night just screaming. You are pretty congested so your head might hurt. You are also drooling more than ever. Daddy said there are 3 places where you might be getting new teeth. I thought we were on a break from teeth for a couple of months - guess not :)
Well buddy, that is about it for this past week. I suspect that next week will be more on the boring side. I am not up to doing too much so we will probably be spending a lot of time on the love sac together! Hope you are feeling better and those teeth stop hurting!
