One cold, wet, snowy day

Jan 26 - This morning I woke up a little after 9:30am. I was worn out by the pool yesterday. When I woke up I started to play with my Elmo remote in the crib and called out to Mommy. She came and got me and I was pleasantly surprised by Ms. Bridget too. Mommy got me changed and dressed and then got me fed. We played for a little while and Ms. Bridget was so happy to see me walking around so well.

Then it was time to get moving. Mommy had a bunch of things she wanted to get done today. So we started by packing the car with trash. Our first stop was to see the nice guy at PNC so that Mommy could put a check in the bank. Then we went to the dump. Then stopped at Ace Hardware for some lightbulbs. Then down to the community center to pay the $25 room rental for my birthday party. Lastly, we got to the hospital for group. Mommy fed me lunch in the car.

It was a rainy and miserable day so Mommy and I weren't surprised when we got to group and there was no one there. We started talking to Betty and after a little while a new mom and her 5 week old came in. Ms. Betty had to get back to what she was doing and asked mommy to show her how to use the scale. Then another new mom came in with a 2 week old. Mommy showed them what to do and what group is usually like since none of our "regulars" were there due to the weather. I thought the babies were interesting but I thought their colorful changing pad and blankets were more interesting, of course. The new moms were really nice as they let me investigate their colorful things. I weighed in at 17lbs 11oz. Not much of a gain but its something. I started to get tired and told Mommy it was time to go. It was a good thing too because on the way home it was snowing and thundering. Such weird weather.

We got home and Mommy put me to bed. I slept for a while. Daddy was home when I woke up. Daddy was supposed to have school tonight but school was closed due to the weather. Unfortunately, no one told him and it wasn't on the radio until after he showed up at the school. He wasn't in the best of moods but when I saw him I made it all better. We watched tv together and ended up getting some really good play time. I love my Daddy.

I played with my drum a lot this evening. I love turning it on and switching the different settings but my new favorite thing is to pick it up and carry it around the room. It is still a little heavy but its fun.

The electricity flickered a few times but never went out. That's a good thing. I have started to get back into my normal bedtime routine too now that my naps have returned. I was in bed around 8:30pm.
