Getting another cold?

Nov 20 - This morning when Mommy came and got me from my crib I had a bit of a runny nose. Mommy asked me if I was feeling ok. She told me that we were going to take it easy this morning and reassess the hockey game later today.

So we just hung out at the house. We played, and napped and ate just like any other day. I am cruising everywhere! I barely need to hold on to anything and a lot of times just pull up and let go and stand for a long time before getting back on my knees. Mommy says that she can just tell that I am thinking about lifting my foot a little and taking my first steps.

Mommy sent a message to Daddy to let him know about my runny nose. She asked Daddy if he thought we should stay home and he thought that maybe we should if I am not feeling well. But I was acting like my normal self. Mommy held me down and wiped my nose and made me laugh. Then she checked to see if I had a new tooth coming in and sure enough, there it was! Number 8.

I played with the doggies a bit. I found Apollo on the couch and got to pet his head before he got tired of Mommy taking pictures and moved. When Daddy got home he took a nap before the game. When he woke up I told him that I was fine and was ready to go to the game. We jumped in the car and drove to DC. Mommy dressed me extra warm, just in case. We met Uncle Dave by the elevators. We got our free poster because we brought can goods for the food drive. I got to see Ms. Shoshanna, Mr. Brian, and Trevor. Ms. Shoshanna was thrilled to see me. I sat with Daddy all of the first period. I was an angel. I watched with Daddy and he soothed me when the Caps scored and the loud horn went off.

During the first intermission Ms. Shoshanna held me. She tried to get me to look at the Mites on Ice but I wasn't really interested. I was more interested in Trevor and playing with my ticket. But she was really nice to me and told me that I was adorable.

During the second period I sat with Mommy. We sat there watching the game until about mins left in the period when we left to go eat. We sat on the concourse and Mommy fed me my sweet potato and turkey meal. We got back to our seat and Mommy gave me my bottle. I spent the third period with Daddy again and after a little squirming I was perfect again. I even made it through overtime and the shootout. Too bad the Caps couldn't win. We said good bye to Uncle Dave and Mommy changed me into my sleeper. Then we walked to the car and I fell asleep. When we got home, I woke up and since Mommy thought that I didn't get enough to eat at the game she fed me and I was out like a light.
