Mar 5 - Today I am 13 months old. Mommy and I had a pretty relaxing morning, well relaxing for me. I played while she talked to Chachi on the phone and then got all the trash together for the dump, did all the laundry, did the dishes and anything else that needed to be done. I tried to help as much as I could. Then we went out to the dump and the grocery store. I chewed on the oatmeal box so much while Mommy was shopping that I chewed a hole in it. We got home, put the groceries away and then Daddy got home from school. He was still not in the best mood but Mommy talked him into going over to the Harrington House for some family time. But that was after we both took naps. We got over to the Harrington House for dinner. I hung out with all on my cousins and practiced going up the stairs with Daddy. Then I actually made it back down the whole flight of stairs by myself. I was so proud I went right back up to the top and came down again. I went downstairs to say goodbye to my cousins who were at the time in the bathtub. Then Mommy and Daddy and I headed home for my bath and bedtime.
Mar 6 - Another Sunday inside. It was a pj day. Nothing really excited happened today. We watched the Caps game and vegged out. I watched Mommy play Donkey Kong. Then she handed me the remote. I liked that I could control the monkey on tv. It made me laugh. Toward the evening Daddy and I got into an argument. I have been hitting recently and Daddy yelled at me and told me no. It scared me a little but I didn't like being told no either so I cried. Daddy wouldn't let me go. He tried to soothe me but I got myself way too worked up. Daddy finally put me down and I went to Mommy. She gave me a bath and put me to bed.
Mar 7 - This morning we woke up and had breakfast. Daddy already had left for the welding shop so he could practice and maybe get some leads on a new job. Then we headed down to the beach for a play date with my friends. Caylee, Noah and I met at the beach. Mommy called Aunt Lynn so she could meet us. Uncle Sean was home today too so both of them brought Aidan and Gavin down to the beach to play on the big ship and run around the beach. I liked the sliding board. And Noah and I chased the birds. We played in the sand and we tried to run into the water but never succeeded because someone would always stop us. Then we were all getting tired we said goodbye. Mommy and Aunt Lynn chatted after Mommy got me strapped into my seat. Mommy gave me ham from my lunchable to snack on. I was so tired that I feel asleep with a big piece of ham in my mouth. I was out like a light and didn't even feel Mommy take it out of my mouth.
Once I woke up from my nap we ate and then played. Mommy played Donkey Kong and then she let me play. If you shake the remote Kong pounds his fists on the ground on the screen and I just got a big kick out of that. I would shake the remote, Kong would pound his fists and I would laugh and do it again. The rest of the night was the usual. We waited for Daddy to get home from school, dinner, bath time, and then night night time.
March 8 - Story time day. We got there right before it started. Today was all about hugs and kisses. Mr. Bryan brought Eleanor for the first time. I was so happy to see her. I haven't seen her since my party. I missed her. After story time I kept trying to run away from the group. Mommy got tired of chasing me and bringing me back that she tried to trap me in the boat. Well, the joke's on you Mommy, cause I can climb the steps in the back and climb out.
Oh, and you wanna see how much I have grown? The first picture was taken Sept 14, 2010 and the second picture was taken today. Look, I am taller than the box now!
After story time Mommy took me over to the Harrington House. I saw Chachi and then hung out with Gavin for a little while. Then Aunt Lynn, Gavin, Mommy and I got in our cars and drove to this daycare place in Dunkirk. Since there is a chance that Daddy might be out of work for a little while Mommy thought we would tag a long and look to see what daycare is like. Aunt Lynn is looking because the provider that she has will be moving in June. We looked around and it seemed like an ok place but it was really expensive. After that, we said goodbye to Gavin and Aunt Lynn and went home for a much needed nap. When I woke up, Daddy was home and he had great news...he got a job and goes back to work tomorrow. Yay! I could tell everyone was relieved and that means that I don't have to go to that stuffy old daycare. We celebrated with a bath, story, and a good game of peek-a-boo. Then it was bedtime.
March 9 - So today Mommy asked me if we should go back to Caps practice and try to get more autographs. I told her yeah and that it was fun. So we hopped in the car and drove to Kettler. We watched some of the practice by the gate and Mommy let me stand on the boards and bang on the glass as the players skated around. We also met one of Mommy's facebook friends named Chris that is a big fan of the Caps too. Mommy noticed that a bunch of cameras were being set up to interview someone right in between where the players come off the ice and where we were and thought it was going to be that much more difficult to get a player to walk over to us. So she said that we would have more luck outside of the players entrance where all the really rich players parked their nice cars. Just then Ms. Diana and her daughter got there and followed us out along with a bunch of other fans and Chris. It was kind of funny that so many people were following me. They must know that I really get the players attention. We waited outside and man, was it cold! Ms. Diana asked to hold me and while she was holding me we spotted Mike Green inside. He was talking to the lady at the desk inside. So Ms. Diana walked me over to the glass and had me bang on it to get his attention. He waved at me and then Ms. Diana made a sign asking for his autograph an he waved us inside. He signed my jersey and then she asked him for a picture but the camera was outside with Mommy. So we went around in the revolving door, got Mommy, and back inside. Mike Green was so nice. He held me for a while. Mommy said that he looked very comfortable with me. He said that he liked kids. After the picture he continued to hold me and even lifted me up so I was face to face with him and talked to me a little more. Mommy told him that we miss him on the ice and he needs to get back soon (he has been out for weeks due to a concussion). He said he is getting closer every day. We all thanked him again, said goodbye, and went back outside.
It didn't take long for Ms. Diana to realize that inside was the place to be for autographs. So she went back inside with me and asked if we could sit there so I could warm up. And they said yes. HA! While we were in there we saw many players. We saw Ovie and he signed me and took a picture with me. We saw John Carlson again so I got my picture with him since we already got his autograph, same with Neuvy. We also got Scott Hannan (23) and Marco Sturm (18) to sign me too. Now I am just 8 players away from the whole team. We went to the store for a little while and then headed home. Today was a good day.
We were supposed to go to the game tonight but Daddy had called Mommy and asked if she could get rid of his ticket because he was beat. So when I woke up from my nap I was told that instead of going to the game tonight I was going to stay home with Daddy. Yay, I get Daddy time. He gave me dinner and a bath. We played hide and seek. Can you see me? And we watched some of the game until it was time for bed. I bet I had more fun with Daddy than Mommy did at the game with Uncle Dave. Ovie ended up scoring two goals that night. Do you think I gave him good luck?
March 10 - Today was a stay home a clean day. The house was a mess and Mommy felt bad that we had been out all the time and let it get this way. So Mommy cleaned and cleaned. I helped. Mommy said that she needs to get me my own little broom and vacuum cleaner. I am going to be Mommy's little helper.
It was a really rainy day today anyway so it was the perfect day to stay in and get a little rest. I got a little needy at one point because I had had enough of Mommy running around. I wanted her to hold me. So we played together a little too. I am getting better with my gumball machine. I am starting to understand that when you push the blue button a ball falls down and I open the door, pull it out and throw it across the room. Mommy is still working with me to put the ball back in the top to do it again.
Daddy was pleased that the house was clean when he got home. He also talked to Mommy about not going to the Caps game on Sunday because he got offered overtime. I would still go to this game with Mommy and Uncle Dave. We just hung out together and watch tv together until it was time for bathtime. After I am dressed in my pjs I have made it my routine to play a round of Where's Nicky as I hid behind the curtain in my room and then we read Barnyard Dance and maybe another book too. Then it is nite nite time.
Oh and remember how I told you it rained all day today. Well we had flood warnings in the area and Ms. Andrea, who lives close to the bay took a picture of the boat down at the beach that we were at earlier this week. It was flooded and waves were crashing over the boardwalk. Here is a picture she took.
March 11 - Since Mommy and I cleaned up so much yesterday we invited Caylee, Noah, and Sam over for a playdate this morning. It was so much fun. My toys were everywhere and overall I shared pretty well. Mommy made us all dinosaur chicken nuggets for lunch and we also had grapes and fruit snacks as well as a little cheese, ham and crackers. I also got lemon-aid in my sippy cup. I love lemon-aid. We played for hours. Everyone really liked the balls from my gumball machine. It was way past my nap time but I didn't really care. That was until Caylee accidentally hit me in the head with my drum. Then I cried and wanted Mommy. Everyone agreed it was time to go so we said goodbye and Mommy put me down for my nap.
After my nap I got to play a little more. Daddy was home and I was excited about our guy's night in. Mommy had made plans with Ms. Nicole and Ms. Denise to go to the hockey game. So Mommy got all dressed up in her Caps gear and dressed them too, kissed me goodbye, kissed Daddy goodbye and left. I didn't make it that long after Mommy left. I was still so tired and since I only got an hour of a nap I told Daddy I was tired around 8pm. Daddy said that I wasn't in the mood for a bath so he dressed me for bed and I was out like a light after Barnyard Dance.
