Now that Mommy is feeling better and now that Mommy has her computer issue worked out I can finally start my blog again.  Mommy was sick for almost 2 weeks and with this being her first full week back to work as well she was just wiped out.  Mom says she is still not totally well and has a pretty nasty cough but she says her fever is finally gone and she has energy again.
I have not done anything to exciting.  Daddy has stayed up with me at night and home with me during the day so that Mommy can work.  I have still not been good about sleeping much.  Mommy says that I sleep fine as long as someone is holding me but if I have to try to sleep in my crib or basinett I wake myself up and cry loudly every half hour or so.  Mommy tried to start a "tough love" program and let me cry myself out but it didn't do any good.  I cried for over an hour before Mommy was crying too and had to come in and get me.  Mommy knows that I need to be able to cry from time to time but over an hour seems excessive.  Mom said we are going to try one last thing and then she is out of ideas and we will have to try the tough love again.  Mom said tonight I get to sleep with her and Daddy.  Mom has been afraid to try that cuz she worries about the doggies but she said she can barricade around me so they can't get so close.  I guess we will see if I sleep better in the big bed!!!
Mommy's stupid little doggie has "issues" lately.  I guess the dog is so upset by my presence she is actually pulling her hair out in clumps.  Mommy feels really bad and wishes she knew what to do.  I however did not mean to make the doggie pull her hair out, I was trying to get Daddy to!!!!
Tomorrow Daddy is going to an SCA event and leaving Mommy and I at home.  Mommy was not happy with the whole thing but then Grandma decided it was time to get my picture taken.  Tomorrow Grandma is going to come get us and take us to her house so Mommy can do some EBay pictures for Grandma, then after Mama gets a nap we are going to Sears to have my picture taken!!!    Mommy is excited to see how that goes, I am not usually very cooperative so we will see if I will even wake up for a picture.
Mom says she has some other stuff she needs to do before we feed me and try to go to bed.  I will be on more now that we have a good computer!!!!
Nighty night!

I haven't been able to post much and it may be a week or 2 before I can go back to posting full time.  Mommy got really sick and has either been taking care of me or sleeping as much as she can.  On our trip Mommy's computer died and it will be a couple weeks before they can get her a new one so she has to use Daddy's computer (which she finds hard to use).
We got home from our trip safe and sound.  I had a really good time and even met my great great Aunt and Uncle before I left and some friends of Grandma Judy's.  It was a LONG trip home, I did not feel like being strapped in a car seat and fussed most of the way home.  Mommy is just glad I will be a bit bigger before we have to do another trip like that and will be able to sleep through the night.  It makes for a long trip for them if I sleep the whole time in the car then stay up all night in the hotel.
We had been home a day when Mommy says I hit a milestone.  Daddy reached down and stroked my cheek and I giggled.  I have not done it since but Mommy and Daddy know what they heard!!!!
I have been really gassy and fussy the last couple days, Mom doesn't know if it was the change in the water they used for my formula, the long drive or what is causing it but she says it is making it really hard to get well when  no one in the house is allowed to sleep.  For the last 2 nights I even let out blood curdling screams in my sleep so even when I am sleeping I wake up Mom and Dad and they worry.  Mommy talked to my Dr today and they want her to feed me LESS and loosen up my diaper.  I had gotten to a point I was eating 5oz every 2 hours.  My Dr said that she thinks that maybe I am stretching my stomach and making myself uncomfortable before my brain is registering that my belly is full.  They want Mommy and Daddy to give me an oz when I am really hungry and get to where I am eating 4 oz every 3 to 4 hours.  Hopefully that will work cuz I think Mom and Dad may lose their minds if I keep this up!!!
Mommy says she is not feeling very good and wants to lay down so I guess I need to go.  Hopefully I can write again soon!!!  Nighty night!
