Picture Day!!!

Yesterday Mommy, Daddy and I went to get my picture taken. Mommy was worried that I would have to get my picture taken in my diaper because it seems that my new pants are already getting a little small for me. Mommy says that if my belly weren't so big I could easily get into them. She assures me though that I don't need to go on a diet. After we got my picture taken we went to eat because Daddy and I were hungry. We then went and bought me some more pants...bigger pants. Mommy thinks I am set for a couple weeks on pants because I got a few more pants and Daddy even picked me out a new outfit. Uncle Fester, Aunt Patty and Jessica came to see me last night. I just talked and talked to Aunt Patty and Jessica. I told them all about my week.

I got to hang out with Daddy all morning. We decided to let Mommy sleep in today. Mommy seems to think that I was having a pretty good time with Daddy because every time she woke up she could hear me talking to Daddy telling him various stories.

Oh yeah, I have found my feet! I was amazed to find them. Did you know that toes wiggle on command??? Mommy tells me that I have had my feet and toes all my life. I don't believe her though because surely I would have noticed them if I had them this whole time!!!

Well that is all for now. Oh yeah, Where's Joey?? I really needed to tell Joey a whole bunch of things.

Blah! Blah! Blah!! Blah!

Mommy and I stayed home yesterday because I have a cold. We went to visit the doctor and she gave me some medicine. Guess what?? I weighed 17.3 lbs yesterday!! (Mommy says I have a "real" appointment in two weeks and we will get more accurate measurements the because they will weigh me in my diaper only) Mommy isn't use to staying home because of illness, so I had to keep her mind off the fact that she used a full day of sick leave for the first time in 5 years. I am beginning to babble for long periods of time, so I entertained Mommy for quite a bit telling her stories. Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah! And they all lived happily ever after!

I went to Baby Jail for a little bit this morning but Daddy came and fetched me. Ms. Ruth told Mommy that I am playing hookey from Baby Jail too much this week. Mommy told me she should call the truant officer on me! What's a truant officer?? Anyway, I had a good day at the office today. I even got to meet with my banker. Never too early to start planning for retirement! I wonder if Daddy's office has me on a pension plan?? I will have to check into that. Anyway, I will be going to Baby Jail all day tomorrow.

What A Day!!!

Today was Great!!! When Mommy dropped me off at Baby Jail she told me Daddy was coming to get me in a little bit. I said surely you must be mistaken because it is Tuesday and I only work on Wednesday!! Mommy said she wasn't mistaken and that Daddy would be coming for me. Sure enough Daddy came and got me out of Baby Jail! But guess what!!! We went on a field trip!! Daddy and I went to visit with Mommy and everyone at her work. Everyone was super nice to me!! Ms. Charlette (that's right C-H-A-R-L-E-T-T-E not to be mistaken for Ms. Charlotte) and Mr. Brad made sure that everyone in the office got to see me. I really liked Ms. Charlette. She was really really nice to me. I finally got to see Auntie Tedi again. She held me for a little while! I got to flirt with all of the women up there. I also met Mr. Tullos. I smiled real big at him! Mommy got mad at Uncle Ronny because he let me put his hand in my mouth and Mommy says that shouldn't have happened because you never can be too sure where his hands have been (We are pretty sure that it was clean but you never know)! As Mommy escorted Daddy and me back to the car anyone who passed us stopped and fussed over me. I am famous you know!! I was about to be fussy so we didn't make it upstairs to meet Ms. Laura (sorry Ms. Laura...Mommy was afraid I was about to cause a scene because I had that look in my eye).

Anyway, after Daddy and I left Mommy's office I got to go to work. I kept Auntie Kay and Uncle Carl in check all day. They are good subordinates you know. When the C.O.B. felt the need for a puppet show, guess what they did. That's right they put on a puppet show!! I had such a great day with them they had Daddy ask Mommy if I could work an extra day this week. Mommy says it is fine with her because it is spring break and I should get an extra day off from Baby Jail this week.

Owwww!! My Mouth Hurts!!

It has been a busy week. I went to Baby Jail, went to work and visited my Uncle Fester. He is better now but he is having to cheer me up now. Daddy, Mommy and I rented an H3 to decide if we really want one. We voted unanimously that H3s are horrible!!!! Poor Mommy though, the H3 was her back up favorite car (behind the MINI). Just goes to show that sometimes the fantasy is much better than the reality! Mommy assures me though that the dream of me is much better in reality than the dream (not that the dream was horrible).

Yesterday Mommy and Daddy took me shopping. Naturally, I ended up with some non-edible items in the cart. Funny how I can make things get put in the cart while I am asleep. Last night I went to see Uncle Fester and Jessica because Mommy and I were bored while Daddy was at the office. That was the second day in a row that I saw the two them. I love cuddling with Jessica. I am sure glad that she got over her fear of babies.

It turns out that I am going to be a big boy because I am teething!! I have good days and bad days. Today was a bad day! Mommy knew it was going to be a bad day because I didn't smile when she came to get me this morning like I normally do. (Mommy, I am sorry I didn't smile but my mouth hurts!) I don't like the teething rings at all. I much prefer to chew on a damp cold wash cloth than those silly teethers.

Well that is all for now. Oh yeah, Joey I need you! My mouth hurts!!!

Zack Makes The Rounds!!

Well I have had a busy week. I worked on Wednesday and got to hang out with Auntie Cash and Uncle Carl. I had a blast and I even got paid to have fun. Life is Great!!

My Uncle Fester had his tonsils taken out so I had to stop by his house after I got out of Baby Jail on Friday to check on him. I think I cheered him up. I wanted to offer to trade him my bottle for his milkshake but I felt sorry for him and decided he ought to have the milkshake. I got to see Aunt Patty too. She didn't scare me this time (I was having issues with Aunt Patty this week)! I even got to visit with Jessica and she finally held me again!! It's about time too! We hung out for a little bit before I decided that I needed to go home.

I got to hang out with Mommy and Daddy all day on Saturday. We went to the store to buy some stuff. It turns out that everything the bought was for me!! We also went to look a prospective new car for Mommy and me. Daddy wants Mommy and me to ride around in an H3. He wants a black one but Mommy liked the light blue one and I liked the red one. I wonder who is going to win the color war? Guess we will have to wait and see!

This morning I went to breakfast with Grandpa Len and Granny Bev. I sure missed them! Granny Bev asked Mommy if I am always such a good boy. Mommy wasn't lying when she told her I am always a happy baby (well almost always)! I had to be on my best behavior at breakfast, how else would I be able to convince Grandpa Len that I won't be any trouble at all when he takes me on his boat. Daddy bought me the funny chicken toy at the restaurant. It cracks me up (and Mommy too)! Anyways, that waitress wasn't a very good waitress because she didn't even ask me if I wanted anything. Did she ever stop and consider that I may have wanted some pancakes, bacon, eggs and juice too??? I guess Granny Bev felt sorry for me because she fed me my bottle! Granny Bev and Grandpa Len gave me a Dr. Suess back pack (will be very handy for some books and toys when I go on vacation) and I got $5 for my piggy bank! Daddy says that we can call Granny Bev Granny Cash!

This afternoon I got to hang out with Daddy so Mommy could do women's work (Mommy says she will wash my mouth out with soap when I am bigger if I refer to cleaning house as women's work)! Daddy and I went to a meeting and to the Big Boy Toy Store (Best Buy). Daddy chickened out when we got there though and decided not to take me inside because I was sound asleep. If he would have been thinking though he would have realized that waking up in the Big Boy Toy Store could have made my week complete. Oh well, maybe next time! Some where along the way Daddy managed to lose my chompy. He better buy me a new one!

I am going to work tomorrow because Daddy has a meeting Wednesday. I am not sure I am going to like to work on Mondays or not. Rumor has it that Mondays are horrible work days. Guess I will find out.

Someone Send Food, I Am Starving!!!

I am so hungry I can eat a cow!! Mommy noticed an increase in my food consumption last week and was amazed how my appetite spiked this weekend. Daddy was quite impressed that I managed to down 50 ounces of food yesterday. For the record, I could have had twice as much but I didn't want to make a pig out of myself. Mommy has decided she needs to try adding cereal to my formula again because she doesn't want me to starve to death. On the bright side though, I am getting closer and closer to getting real food every day. I can't wait!! I want my first meal to be steak, potatoes, a salad all followed by a hot fudge sundae. Mommy is being a party pooper though and tells me that I am going to have to stick to the regular baby diet and get plain old rice cereal as my first meal. Yuck!! Mommy and Daddy better start setting money aside because I am going eat everything insight when I get bigger.

I Am Cured!!

Well it appears that my secretary (Mommy) has been sleeping on the job lately because it has been over a week since she updated my site. When I went to the doctor last week (post accident check up) he decided that I had a sinus infection and prescribed me some penicillin. Well Mommy had to take her car to the MINI dealer Memphis yesterday (Daddy and Mommy decided to get a different car in the near future that doesn't require going to another state) and Daddy called her to tell her that Baby Jail just called and I had a rash on my tummy, back and legs. Mommy called Ms. Charlotte who assured her that I was doing very well but she was just worried about my rash because she knew I had been taking penicillin. Mommy burned up the phone lines between Daddy, the doctor and Baby Jail trying to get me situated. The nurse said that since my only symptoms were the rash itself with no other problems, the doctor couldn't see me until the morning but Daddy got me in to see the doctor after hours. Seems the doctor didn't want to say I would be fine until the morning without seeing me. Go Daddy! Anyway, my rash was significantly cleared up by the evening. The doctor says I shouldn't have any more penicillin (Mommy says DUH!!) and my sinus infection looks cleared up so I don't have to worry about taking anything else. Mommy had switched my laundry detergent last week so she is going to rewash all my clothes just in case the culprit is the detergent and not the penicillin. Mommy says she can't leave town anymore because she spends too much time worrying about me while she is gone. Frankly, I enjoyed having Daddy all to myself. Besides, Mommy bought me all kinds of stuff in Memphis!

Daddy and I went all over town today. I had a good time but Mommy wasn't too happy to find out that Daddy took me to the gun shop to buy some bullets. She didn't think it was very funny when Daddy told her that he was going to by me a pistol! I thought it was hilarious!

Mommy is quite pleased that the insurance company of the lady who RAMMED is going to reimburse her for my new carseat. Safety is very important you know! Mommy and I just love my new car seat because it is lighter and easier for her to maneuver. Mommy thinks Daddy is going to steal her car seat because that one is a lot easier to adjust the straps than the one he has for his car.

Uncle Fester came to see me tonight. He is going to get his tonsils taken out Tuesday so he may be out of commission for a few weeks. Apparently getting your tonsils out as an adult is a big deal. I will have to make sure that Mommy takes me to see Uncle Fester while he is recovering. Uncle Fester is just lucky that he doesn't live too far out of the way. If I were mobile, I would attempt a jail break and sneak over to Uncle Fester's and watch tv with him all day.

Well that was my week!
