A day with Elmer

Nov 24 - This morning I woke up around 8:30am. Mommy heard me make a few sounds so she cracked the door open to peek at me and I was laying down staring at the back of the crib. But I heard her so I sat up and crawled over to her. We ate and came out to the family room to start our day.

Mommy said that we had to leave the house at 11am so that we could make our lunch date with Elmer. So we got dressed and Mommy fed me my first solid of the day. We were actually in the car at 11:01 and Mommy was pleased. I played with my froggie toy on my car seat as we drove to meet him and fell asleep on the way. When I woke up we were at Steak in a Sack. I was still sleepy when Mommy took me out of the car seat. We went inside and we saw Mr. Elmer. I also met his mom and a few other workers but I was still waking up so I fussed a little. It wasn't until Mr. Elmer kept telling me that I was cute and tickling me that I started to get into a better mood. I sat in a high chair but I wanted to be held by Mommy until I finished waking up. When it was time to eat I sat in the high chair like a good boy and ate my chicken and rice while Mommy ate a grilled ham and cheese and Mr. Elmer ate a ruben. Once we were done I got to bang on the table and sat up on the booth.

Then we left with Mr. Elmer and headed to the mall. After a quick bite, Elmer carried me into the mall. I sat in the stroller as we went into a few stores. Mr. Elmer showed me the cool Christmas trees that light up all different colors in Sears. We got a stocking stuffer for Daddy there. Then we just walked around until all three of us were done.

We got back in the car and headed back to Steak in a Sack to drop off Mr. Elmer. I didn't get to say goodbye because I fell asleep. I hadn't gotten to see Mr. Elmer since I was just a couple weeks old. He was the first of Mommy's friends to see and hold me.

When Mommy woke me up we were home. I wanted to keep sleeping and told Mommy she shouldn't of woke me up. I was fussy almost the rest of the evening. That is except when Mommy flipped the toy box over and put all my plastic blocks on it to bat around, clink together, and knock off. Mommy and I did that for a while and I thought it was hysterical.

The rest of the evening I climbed all over Mommy and Daddy and played with all my toys. I also stood up on the couch and took one step. Mommy saw it but Daddy didn't turn fast enough. I'll keep working on it. I was in bed by 9pm.
