Look How Big I Am!

I thought it would be cool to show how much I've grown. I'm turning into such a big boy! This is me in the hospital with daddy. Look how big my Nuk Nuk is! I'm only a couple of weeks old.

This is me a couple of weeks ago. The Nuk Nuk doesn't over power my beautiful face anymore.

This is me with my mom. Dad took this picture the first time we meet, well outside of her belly. I'm a little over 24 hours old. Can you believe I was that small?

This is us at the Alumni Match. I'm so big!

Well, hopefully something exciting happens for me to write about tomorrow.

Peace Out! Michael

Baptism

So, I had this baptism thing on Sunday. It was really nice. I got to go to church in my cool white outfit and hang out with my cousin Max (left) and Spencer (right). They are so cool. We are all going to be in school today. Go Class of 2026! It was a really nice day. After the church service, we went to Spencer's house and got to hang out with a whole bunch of people. It's so much fun hanging out with my family and friends. I can't wait to have more parties like this......Here are a few pictures from the day.

My godmother Aunt Brittany, my godfather Uncle Joshua, mommy, me and daddy.

Max with Aunt Shea, me and mommy, Spencer and Molly

It was a long day, I was pooped.

Peace Out! Michael

Ready For The Weekend

I'm so ready for the weekend.....it's been one long week from not sleeping too much to being busy. I slept a little better for mom last night but still not all night....I hope I get the hang of this soon. As you can see, I'm a morning person. Aren't I cute in my dress? Tonight, I'm going to spend the night with Nana and Pop so mom and dad can get some sleep. Tomorrow, I'll get to meet my cousin Jackie and her sons. They are coming all the way down from NY for the baptism on Sunday. I can't wait for all the fun. I'll post on Monday, I'll make sure to have a lot of pictures.

Peace Out! Michael

Back To My Old Routine

Well, the whole sleeping through the night thing was just a joke. I felt that since I got so much sleep the night before, I didn't need to do it last night. The night started off the same. I slept with mom in the living room before she woke me up to get a night cap. I ate my bottle and got put in my crib. That was the last time I was down. I wanted to get up at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, and finally at 1:30, mom brought me into bed with her. I wasn't too happy with that either and around 5 we finally went out for breakfast. Don't get me wrong mom tried to feed me all night but I didn't want any. I don't know how she does all this on no sleep. Today, we have a track meet so mommom and poppop are going to take me home so mom can work it. Tomorrow night, I'm doing my Friday nights with Nana and Pop. I don't know what were are doing on Saturday yet but boy are we going to have fun on Sunday. I can't wait. Well, not too much to write about today. I'll talk to you later......

Peace Out! Michael

Only One More Hour

I bet you are wondering what I mean by one more hour.....well, last night was a very good sleep night for me. I tried to do my baby work out with mom but dad wanted to eat and mom is on her Rachel Ray kick so she wanted to make dinner. I got to hang out on my play mat. I'm telling you, that elephant is going to get it one of these days. He makes me so mad, just hanging there, doing nothing. Stupid elephant. He's going to be sorry when I can finally get his trunk in my mouth. But, I digress....I feel asleep on my mat until the Schwan's man came and then mom had to look through the book and hold me. It wasn't an easy thing to do but I didn't want to be anywhere else. When she finally put me down on the sofa, I went to sleep. She had to wake me up at 9:30 to eat and boy did I eat. I didn't wake up, I was so tired. She put me to bed and then next thing you know........It was 4:30! 4:30 in the morning!!!!!! Mom was so excited, she stayed up with me. I didn't even cry this morning. I just woke up and started playing in my crib and mom came in. Isn't that cool? I hope I can do it again but you know me.....

I was out cold! Well, I have some work to get done before mommom and poppop run down to Dover. I'll talk to you tomorrow.....

Peace Out! Michael

Busy Busy Bee

Sorry Everyone! I'm really busy today, I'll write more tomorrow. Have a wonderful day!

It's Party Time

Hello Everyone! I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! I know that I sure did. On Friday night I got to spend time with the night with my Nana and Pop. It was a lot of fun. I rule that house, I have both of them wrapped around my little finger. On Saturday morning, mom came to pick me up so that I could have pictures taken with my cousins Max and Spencer for this coming Sunday. I must say, the camera loves me. I was just smiling and having a good old time. When we left, we had to hurry home because mom had dad's truck key and she had to clean for her cheer slumber party. To her surprise, dad had already cleaned the house. She was so happy. The party was really fun. I just love the girls. They watched movies and talked. I feel asleep in mom's arms. At that point, I turned into a momma's boy. Whenever she would put me down, I was scream. I got my way, I slept with mom all night long. On Sunday, after all the girls left, we just had a easy day around the house. I was still all about mom. I let her put me to sleep in my crib but I woke her up every 1.5 to 2 hours to make sure that she was still there. Poor mom. Today my cousin Brittany is coming over for dinner, that should be a lot of fun.

This is me and my monkey. I really like him. I'm waiting for mom to get dressed so we can go to mommom and poppop's.

Chilln' on the bed. I was having a lot of fun. Mom was putting stuff away in the closet and I was yelling at the fan. Look at my little legs go.

Did I mention that I love TV? Don't I look preppy? I take after my dad. I want to be voted best dressed in high school too. We wouldn't talk about mom. She was voted class flirt!

Play time with dad. We were having a lot of fun!

Peace Out! Michael

Mr. Burns

So, let me explain the post title. Anyone that knows my mom, knows that she loves the tv show The Simpsons. Well, my new trick is to hold my hands up in front of me and rub them together. She says that it reminds her of the Mr. Burns character from the show. Every time she sees me doing, she'll yell out to dad, "Look baby Burns is doing his EXCELLENT hands again." Dad doesn't think it's as funny as mom does. She thinks she is so funny, really she's not. Last night was the same as before, I played, had some formula, went to sleep, woke up 952 times. Same old same old. I though that I would share some pictures with you today......

This was me this morning. No matter how late we are running, mom can't help but stop for a picture. She really loves this hat, I wear it all the time. Do you notice I'm holding my monkey blanket? I have to have it in the carseat and that my feet have no socks? Mom put them on me and before she could reach over to get my blanket, I had them off. I don't like them and I'm not going to wear them and that's it. I like my toes to be free. Mom's the same way, she's been wearing flip flops since February. I told you she's nuts.

I'm just so cute......I'm wearing my lime green star outfit. I look like I should be doing karate or something. Mom just kept singing, "Everyone was kung fu fighting...." She made it look like I was kicking and stuff. I thought that was so funny.

So, I hear about this rolling over thing and I really want to do it. I got some time alone on my play pad and keep trying to do it.....It didn't work but I'm getting close. I just know it.

I wanted to show you my cool shirt that I got from a nurse in the NICU. It says "Sleep is for the WEAK" and that is so so true. All of you whining about not getting sleep. Nerds, nerds I say. Well, I'm going to stay at Nana and Pop's tonight then off to get my picture taken tomorrow for my baptism. And then on Saturday, all my girls friends will be coming over....oh yeah!

Peace Out! Michael

Back to Two Hours

Yesterday was a better day, I didn't scream all day long but my belly wasn't up to 100% again. I have to watch my cereal intake and start eating bananas, apple sauce, and pears and drinking my apple juice. I love the apple juice. Mommy had homebound last night and didn't get home until after 530. Mommom and poppop left me with dad. Poor dad, he gets frustrated so easily. I was being cranky, my belly hurt and I missed my mommy. He tried to feed me, didn't work, he changed my diaper, wasn't it. I got so upset, I feel alseep. When I work up, mom was home and making dinner. After they ate, I ate. Just a bottle and bananas but it was so good. Mom and I hung out for a little bit but we went to bed around 930 or so. It didn't last long, I was up at 12, 2, and 430. I don't want my belly to hurt but this up all night thing is getting old. I just want to go to sleep and wake up in the morning. Mom tells me that it will happen soon, I'm still so small. Stupid fact - I was smaller when I was born then all the Octo-Mom's babies and much smaller when I came home from the hospital. Well, I have a busy weekend. I'm going Saturday morning to get pictures taken for my baptism in two weeks with my cousins Max and Spencer. Then Saturday night, mom is having all the cheerleaders over for a slumber party. I hope they like waking up at night. (insert evil laugh) Sunday we're just going to hang out again, I can't wait. Well, it's getting to be that time again.

Peace Out! Michael

PS - Congrats to mommy's friend Marc Deisem for being selected Smyrna High School's Teacher of the Year. Way to go!

It's Bananas...B-A-N-A-N-A-S

You know how I really like the doctor? Well, after mom dropped me off at mommom and poppop's yesterday, I still wasn't very happy. They call dad who called mom to tell her that I was very upset. She called the doctor's and they told me to come on it. Normally, I love the doctor's office and I'm a wonderful baby but I wasn't having any part of it today. I screamed my little head off. They had to walk me around, trying to get me to calm down but it wasn't working. I upset my hydroseal (don't ask) and was sucking in massive amounts of air. Finally, the doctor came in and comes to find out, my bowels were a little upset. I needed to poop. And I needed to add more to my diet then just formula and rice cereal. They told mommom and poppop that I needed to get some apple juice and fruit in my belly. When we got back to their house, I had my apple juice and things started flowing. Boy, did I feel better. The following pictures are what happened when I got home......Mom wanted me to eat bananas because they taste good and we already had some. At first, I don't know what to think of it so I just put my whole hand in my mouth....Isn't that what you're suppose to do? Then I realized that I really liked it and started smiling at mom as she tried to feed me. Finally, we had a whole container. I don't know how much of that I ate, I got on my face, or left all over my body. I had to get a bath, aren't I cute?

This is a picture of me, mommy, and "Big Brother" David at the Alumni Match. Pop took the picture and didn't have the flash on. David was the outstanding wrestler for the meet from Smyrna.

This is daddy and poppop hunting one weekend. It looks like a lot of fun, I can't wait until I'm old enough to do it.....

Daddy was taking pictures of himself in Missouri before I was born. He was suppose to go again when mom was in the hospital but couldn't make it because I can early. He will be going out in a couple of weeks to hunt turkeys......

Peace Out! Michael

Happy St. Patrick's Day

Good Morning Everyone! Today is one of the best days of the year, it's St. Patrick's Day! Yeah! This is one of mom's favorite holidays outside of the 4th of July and all. She bought me two shirts for today, one I wore yesterday that said "Mommy's Lucky Charm" and then one for today that said "Baby's First St. Patrick's Day". I didn't want to help her get a picture of me in it so the best she could do was me in my carseat with my cool hat on. I love that hat, I wear it all the time....

This is the first picture that mom tried to get of me, it didn't work. See, I wasn't a good boy last night, not at all. I've been doing so well with this sleeping thing, mom only has to woke up once to feed me and then I go right back to sleep. It's been really nice not just for her but for me as well. We have done two nights of runny rice cereal. I'm growing up. Well, I didn't want to grow up anymore and last night, I put a stop to that. I've gotten into a habit of sleeping from the time mom brings me home from mommom and poppop's until I go to bed. She wakes me up twice or so to feed me and then it's off to the crib. Around 10 last night, mom gave me my cereal heavy bottle and off to dream land I went. Now I don't know if she put too much cereal in it or what but around 1:30, I had horrible belly pains. Mom came and got me and put me in bed with her a dad and I slept for a little bit but around 2:30 I woke up screaming. Mom took me into my room and changed my diaper, I had a big one and tried to feed me. I wanted none of that. I scream and made my face turn red. I was warm so she took my temperature. No fever. I guess that was from hanging with mom in bed. So she walked around with me, sang to me, changed me into a cooler outfit, nothing worked. Finally, we laid down on the couch and we fell in and out of sleep for the next couple of hours. I felt really bad about it but I wanted some time with my mom. She finally got off the couch at 6 am and put me in her bed to take a shower. I screamed the whole time, she put on her makeup and fixed her hair, I screamed then too, she ironed her outfit and guess what, I scream for that too. Finally, I feel asleep (see picture) and she had to pick me up and put me in my carseat, I scream with that. On the way to mommom and poppop's I was good. Mom warned them that I was a little cranky then off to work she went. I do feel bad for giving her no sleep last night but at least she is giving DSTP testing today.........

This is a picture of me and my dad from last night. When I'm out, I'm out. Oh, by the way, I hate socks. I want nothing to do with them.

Mom was trying to get a picture of everyone's feet. My little feet to mom and dad's big feet.

Peace Out! Michael

TV Freak

I love Baby Einstein. I just love it. Mom can put it on the TV and I'll watch it while she cleans or does laundry. I will get upset when it goes off and want her to put it back on. I hope I get some move videos.....I just love them! Well...I had a fun and exciting weekend. First, we had the alumni match on Friday night. It was so fun. Mom got really mad at Aunt Laura. She made me the cool shirt that I showed you in the last post but she didn't show mom the front. It said "When I grow up, I want to be a wrestler (that was crossed out) cheerleader." Mom was not happy, not happy at all. I thought that it was funny. I was having the best time with all the girls, I'm not a big fan of men other than my dad and two grandfathers. I love the girls. I was flirting so much! Big Brother David better watch out, his girlfriend Shannon thinks that I'm the best thing since sliced bread. She told me that I was out in front of David. Oh yeah! I spent the night with Nana and Pop. It was fun. I keep them up all night long, ha ha. Mom got a hair cut and then went tanning before she came to get me and boy was she burnt. I thought that was funny too. When we left there, we had to go to mommom and poppop's to get dad and pick up his truck. At that moment, we realized that we didn't have the stroller in the back of the car. It dawned on us that we had left it at the high school on the sidewalk the night before. I thought that it was gone for good. Mom hurried to the high school and there it was, sitting on the sidewalk where we had left it. I really thought that it was gone, long gone. We got home and had a nice night in. Then mom wanted to get a bath. While she was relaxing, dad had to change my diaper. Poor dad. He put my diaper on backwards, came and showed it to mom, she laughed at him and told him the right way to fix it. He went back into my room, put on a new diaper and took me back to mom. It was still on the wrong way. The third time was the charm. It was finally right. Yesterday we cleaned, went grocery shopping, and hung out. I also got to eat my rice cereal out of a bowl. I'm a big boy now. I'm growing up so fast. Well, I have some work to get done at mommom and poppop's. I have new tricks such as blowing bubbles and sticking out my tongue. I'm so cool. Oh yeah!

Peace Out! Michael

Finally Friday

It's finally Friday! Oh yeah. It has been one long, long week. We finally have a weekend of free time. I'm going to go to the Alumni Match tonight with my mom and dad. I get to wear my cool red and white shirt that I talked about yesterday. It's going to be neat to watch my mom cheer again, I know that she loves it so much and wishes she could be out there doing it still. She would never admit that but I know. After the match, I'm going to spend the night with Nana and Pop until tomorrow. Mom has a hair appointment at 1 o'clock and will pick me up after that. I love my Nana and Pop's so it will be really fun. Then we will just have a lazy rest of the weekend. I hope that mom picks up the house before I get home on Saturday so we have nothing to worry about. Next weekend is going to be fun, I have my baptism with my cousins Max and Spencer on Sunday and then a big party at my Aunt Molly's house after the church service. I'll make sure to post a picture of all of us, we are wearing matching outfits and all. This Monday, I'm getting my picture taken at the Picture People in the mall. It's going to be me, mom, and dad and Splash the Dog. This is going to be an adventure. I don't know where mom gets her ideas from. She's crazy I'm tell you, crazy. She keeps talking about this St. Someone Day next week where I have to wear green and we're going to eat ham and cabbage. Dad keeps tell her that he isn't going to eat that nasty mess but she is having none of it. Seems like it's going to be interesting. On the sleeping side, it was another good night, went down at 9:30 for the night but I'm going to bed at like 7 but mom wakes me up before she goes to bed to top off the tank and I'm sleeping until 2:30! Can you believe that? I woke up at 4:30 but mom just gave me my Nuk Nuk and I went right back to sleep until 6:30. Mom is very proud of me. Well, it's that time again, I'll talk with you next week.....

Peace Out! Michael

The Big 1-0

So, I went to the doctor today for a check up with my mom. I love anything to do with doctors, doctors' offices, or the hospital. My mom is hoping that I'm going to be a doctor but I really like it there. She just hopes that I don't spend lots of time in the hospital. So when we were at the doctors I learned that I'm not 21 inches long and now TEN POUNDS! TEN POUNDS! Can you believe that? I'm the big 1-0, OH YEAH! I guess that you can say that I'm now the size of a normal baby. On the other side, the doctor said that everything looks great and I'm doing well...I'm very excited about that. Mom is excited about the fact that I slept most of the night again last night. She put me down around 9:30 (not in my carseat) and I slept until 2:30! Can you believe that? I woke up once, got my nightcap and went back to bed. She woke me up at 6:30 just in time to leave for AI. She was almost jumping up and down since I've done it two nights in a row. I'm turning into such a big boy.

Mom's friend Aunt Laura is cheering with her in the Alumni Match tomorrow night. All the cheereleaders are wearing tye dye and you know how I like that. So Aunt Laura made me one. It was a onesie. Can you believe that I graduate in 2026? Mom called Aunt Shea about it and she can't believe that it will be that long until Max and I graduate college. It seems so far away but it will be here before any of us know it. Last night, when mom was practicing I was jumping up and down on Aunt Kelly's leg when they were cheering. She told mom that I was going to be a cheerleader. Mom didn't like that, she said that I would be cheered for, not the one cheering. I think it's funny that people ask her about it all the time. I'm not going to be a cheerleader, I'm going to date the cheerleaders. I'm going to wrestle, play football, and be a catcher like my big Uncles Jeremy and Joshua. Well, I'll let you know if I make it three nights in a row......

Peace Out! Michael

Daddy Time

Sorry that I didn't write yesterday, I was so busy that I couldn't find a free moment. I feel bad since I know that I have a very devoted group of followers. It's been a busy couple of days. I got to spend time with mom and dad on Monday night, we didn't have all the running around that we normally do. Dad and I bonded, it was really nice. Then I woke mom up like 400 and 52 times. She was really tired yesterday morning. After a fun filled day with mommom and poppop, mom picked me up and we had to run errands for the night. We went to Wal-mart and I slept, we came home and I slept, I went to Nana and Pop's I slept. Nana told mom that she had to wake me up to eat but other than that.....I slept. And we wonder why I don't sleep at night. Mom got smart though, when she came to pick me up from Nana and Pop's she had me feed with a new diaper before she left. She said that since I slept in my carseat all the time, she was going to take full advantage of it. When we got home, she took off my big travel blanket and got the straps all loose then she left me in it. She did put me in by crib. I slept from 10 until 3 in the morning! Do you believe that? Mom was shocked, she told me that she thought the time was wrong on the clock, normally its 1230 and 230! She gave me a little night cap and put me back into my crib but not in the carseat. I slept until 630! Mom could hear me talking to my bears but I never cried. I stayed awake the whole time to mommom and poppop's. Maybe this can be a new routine.........I have a busy night tonight. I might go with my mom to the alumni cheer practice or stay home with my dad....I don't know yet. Well, I've got to get cleaned up to get picked up.....

Peace Out! Michael

Hand Time

I've found my hand. I want to get my thumb in my mouth so bad, I just can't. It's driving me crazy, crazy I tell you. My Nana thinks that I'm not teething. She checked my gums and didn't feel the little teeth yet. She said that I'm just obsessed with trying to fit my hand into my mouth and my new stupid baby trick of spitting bubbles. My Pop said that it's a boy thing. Well, my weekend started off normal, please saying how darn cute and wonderful I am. Mom and dad went to Ms. Tonya and Mr. Steve's house for a birthday party. Ms. Tonya loves me so much. I'm such a ladies man. After that, we went to Nana and Pop's house. I was going to spend the night with them so mom and dad could get some sleep. Everyone at the party would ask mom and dad what they were going to do with their baby free night and all they said was sleep! I can't blame them.....My night was fun, Nana had to wake me up to eat at 10 and 3. Do you believe that...I was sleeping. Nana told mom that I wake up at home so much because I want to spend time with her. I just love her so. Mom came to get me in the afternoon after the boys basketball game which they won. They play CR tomorrow night....When we got home there were cheerleaders and cheerleaders and more cheerleaders at my house. I hung out with my girlfriend Ronnie but soon I learned tht there are a lot of fish in the sea and maybe I should keep my options open. These girls love me, what can I say. Mom told me that I better not turn into a little player. I told her don't hate the player, hate the game. The only time the girls put me down was so they could eat. Mom told them not to have babies for a long time if food ranks higher, I don't think mom's had a real meal in months, normally she hold me in her lap. She can't put me down, I get upset if she is in the room and not holding me. On Sunday, we went for a walk around the development, all of us. We needed the exercise and it was such a beautiful day. When we got home, we cleaned up Splash's presents around the yard. Mom and dad said that they are never feeding him again. He's a big dog, he leaves big presents. We got cleaned up and mom when to a cheerleading comp to watch some of her girls at Dover Downs and I hung out with Dad. Mommom and poppop came over for a bit, it's was fun. When mom got home we hung out, had a bottle and got ready for bed. I was up at my normal times, 12:30 and 3:30. Oh, I forgot to tell you, my Pop came down and put up my mobile. I love it so much. I love anything that moves and I can watch it. Well, it's getting to be that time......

Peace Out! Michael

Darn Teeth!

These darn teeth are driving me crazy. And I'm driving my mom crazy because of it. She was up at 3 am this morning with me. I didn't want a bottle, I was nice and dry, and I didn't want to be held. I just wanted to cry it out. We laid on the couch until 5 when she had to get up for work by that time, I had fell asleep. Poor Mom. I don't know how she does it and dad says the same thing, that she's a superwoman! I thought that I would post this picture from the snow day....It shows how bright and sunny outside was. I wish that I was a little bit bigger, I could have made a snowman or a snow angel but mom and dad said that I was too small and would get sick. They stink. I'm not too small. I can't believe that they still treat me like a baby, don't they know that I'm almost 5 months now and I'm getting teeth? Duh mom and dad. I just found out that I'm having my baptism on March 29th. It's going to be a big event, my cousins Max and Spencer will be going through everything with me. It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait, now what am I going to wear? That's a big question. This weekend should be fun. I'm going over to Ms. Tonya and Mr. Steve's house tonight for Mr. Steve's birthday and then heading into Nana and Pop's so they can enjoy my night routine. Tomorrow, mom has a boys basketball game but I'm going to stay at Nana's. Mom is going to pick me up before the cheerleading team dinner. That is going to be a blast! My girlfriends will all be there. Stupid mom keeps saying that they are all too old for me and that I should be looking at girls my own age when the time comes and that's like 40. I told mom that if I waited until I was 40, I would be one of those weird old men that live in their parent's basement. I think I would have to live in the garage because we don't even have a basement at our house. Sunday's going to be a nice lay at home day even though I lose an hour. This might help mom out, now 4 am will be 5 am! Mom is going to run out to the cheerleading competition around 2:45, it's at Dover Downs this year to watch a couple of her cheerleaders perform on their all-star teams. She wants me to wish Jade and Shannon good luck and Alexis, my Uncle Josh's girlfriend who cheers for an open team. Well, I better get going, I have a couple of things to finish up on here at mommom and poppop's before mom comes to get me.

Peace Out! Michael

Sleepy Time Fun

I just love mom and dad's bed. It's the best place in the whole wide world. I've learned that around 4 in the morning if I start to cry and my nuk nuk doesn't do the trick, mom will bring me back to her bed for an hour or so. I just love it so much. She just wants a little bit more sleep. 5:30 is coming so quick these days. I'm still not sleeping very much through out the night. Mom puts me down around 7:30 and then goes to bed herself around 8:30, I'm up at 11:00 or so, 1:30, and then around 4 am. I'm just growing so much, I need to refill my tank all the time and these stupid teeth hurt! I can't believe that I'm getting teeth, I'm only 4.5 months old and if you want to follow my corrected age (that a premie thing), I'm only 2 months old and getting teeth! Teeth! I'm not even allowed to eat rice cerel with a spoon. My life is so hard. Mom and dad meet with the Child Development Watch nurse yesterday to have me tested for any developmental issues due to the fact that I'm such a premie. I think I'm fine and mom and dad know that I'm fine but they just want to double check. It's amazing what they do for a premie these days. Due to these teeth, mom and dad went to Wal-Mart after picking me up from mommom and poppop's yesterday. Mom said that I needed something to chew on.....She came out with I think everything they had for teething babies. I hope I can use all of this. I just want my mouth to feel good. Mom just wants me not to be so fussy and sleep. Now mom is into the Supernanny lady. She went to the book store to get her book but it was out so she got the Jo Frost's Confident Baby Care by the Supernanny. Now she has all these ideas for schedules and feedings and all this stuff.....I just don't know with her sometimes. First it was the Growing Up Green book and now this. I think that she is going to follow through on this one. I don't want a schedule. Tonight I'm hanging out with dad so that mom can go to the girls' playoff game. This is the first time that Smyrna Girls' Basketball has made it to the playoffs for a long time. The Boys play on Saturday. They had a first round bye, woo hoo! I'm going to have a busy day on Saturday, after the game mom is having the girls over for their end of the season dinner. I'll get to see my girlfriend, Ronnie. Oh yeah! Well, mom will be here soon so I better get ready to go.....

Snow Days

Here are a couple pictures of me in my cool cool hat, oh yeah! Mom keeps saying that she is sending the pictures to the Gerber people because there spokes baby is out of date and I'm much cuter. Ok, what a weekend, I have lots to tell. I got to hang out with Nana and Pop on Friday night to give mom some sleep time. She came to pick me up the next day after all the I Love Smyrna School District stuff. She said it was a good idea that I wasn't there, there were so many people, she even got hit with a stroller! Can you believe that? When she came to get me, my cousin Max and Bradley came over with their mom, Aunt Shea and then her mom my Aunt Robin. Max is one big dude, I can't believe that we are just 4 days apart, he's like 2 of me! When we went home, I just needed to chill but not in my fast paced life. We took a little nap, got dressed in my cool duds and headed into the Carson's. Ms. Ashley and Mr. Greg were up from Florida and I missed them so much we had to go hang out for the night. I was nice. Mr. Greg's mom got to hold me for a long time and everyone just keep saying how cute I was. On Sunday, I hung out at Nana and Pop's again. Daddy had to work and mom was going up to a cheerleading comp. When mom got to pick me up, I was having such a good time watching the horses on tv. I know that mom and Pop use to ride so maybe I'll get a horse? By the time we got home, it had started to snow. I couldn't believe it snow and it was March 1st. At 9 that night, mom got the call that school was closed for Monday. That was a good thing, she had a funeral to go to and now didn't have to use her last sick day. On Monday morning, we had a foot of snow outside. It was so fun to watch the dog run and play. He's a dork. Mom and dad had to take shifts but we finally got out of the house to go to the funeral. They dropped me off with mommom and poppop and off they went. When they got back, it was still snowing. We got home after dark and mom got the call, snow day #2. I was really fussy that night so it was a good thing mom had a snow day. Dad had to go to work like normal so he was out of the house by 6 am. Mom and I picked up a little bit and set out to meet Ms. Jen at the mall. Mom is in love with baby hats and picked up a couple more for me. If Ms. Jen hadn't of been there, I would have come home with one preppy outfit after another. It was fun to get out of the house but I started to get fussy right before we went home. Mommy keep saying that I was going to be left handed since that was the hand I keep putting in my mouth. Ms. Jen said that I was teething. I am. I'm advanced for my age both real and corrected. Oh well! This morning mom had a 2 hour delay and thank gosh for that. She went out to the truck to get everything ready and left the keys on the seat. When we went out to leave, the keys were still in the seat but all the doors were locked. Mommom and poppop had to come pick us up, drop mom off at school and then take me back to their house. Mom, mom, mom, mom. One good thing about all of this is dad has to go to the high school to visit with mom and the Developmental Watch lady today so he can bring mom home. What joy. Well, I need a nap before mom and dad come to get me.......

Peace Out! Michael

Oh....Mom got a big surprise when she came home last Friday. She came in the door and I was hanging out with dad. He had a smile on his face like he had do something and she knew it. He had picked up flowers, candy, and a card, just for all the stuff she does. He wants her to know that we appreciate everything that she has to do and we love her.
