What a night!

Mommy,

It's about 5 a.m. and I've just fallen back asleep after waking up for a bit. I'm sorry to have worried you and Daddy tonight. I'm not sure what I ate, but my tummy did not feel good. I know I scared Daddy when I threw up while I was sleeping. He came and changed my sheet and put a new one all while holding me.

Daddy rocked me for a long time in the chair and walked around with me. I still didn't feel well so he went and warmed up a bottle really warm just how I like it. I drank almost all of it and then got so tired. I fell asleep around 11 p.m. and have slept ok most of the night. I'm not sure about Daddy though. I think he has been up most of the night checking the monitor.

I hope you were able to get some sleep tonight so you can do great out in Dallas. I love you and can't wait to see you in a couple days! I thought you'd like these pictures of Daddy and I playing earlier tonight. See, I was in a great mood when I got home from daycare!

Hi Everyone!

Mommy,



I'm so glad you're back from your trip. I missed having you give me baths and tuck me in at night. Daddy and I had such a great time while you were away, but I love having both of you there to play with me!

Daddy told me something that surprised me today. He said that my little letters to you were being read by other people in our family! I didn't even know what "grandparents" were until Daddy explained it to me. To think, you guys have mommys and daddys too!

I am glad Grandma Joyce, Grandma Lynne, and others like reading what I've been up to so I'm going to try to keep writing to everyone when I can. It's been such a busy week since Grandma Joyce went home, and I still love to do everything she taught me. Also, in only a week I'm getting much better at crawling. Look!




I'm also getting better at playing with my toys. I especially love ones that play music so I can dance to them. Here I am spinning my wheel thingy and dancing!



Daddy and I had a busy day today while you are out doing something Daddy calls "bringing home the bacon." We went to Target to get some food and then had lunch. He tried to feed me some nasty green stuff that I did NOT like. Note to both of you: stick with the turkey and chicken meals in the jars.







I hear that you are dropping me off to spend the night with Grandma Lynne and Grandpa Marvin tomorrow. I'm so excited to crawl all around their house and have them run after me! I may even show them how I can climb up their entire staircase. I promise to be on my best behavior....maybe.


That's all for now. I'm going to take a nap so I can be super rested for when you get home. Love you!

Goooooooooooooooo Dawgs!

Mommy, what a surprise! Daddy and Grandma surprised me by taking me to Athens today to see the campus! I could hardly believe it especially after the morning I had. I was verrrrry cranky this morning. I think Daddy almost didn't want to go up there, but we ended up going!

I slept all the way up there, and when we got to the campus Daddy drove around and showed me and Grandma where he lived all four years there. We drove around and looked at the city, and then we made our way over the Tate Center. Daddy was saying how much that place had changed. We also went to the bookstore. Daddy bought both you and me presents! I got a cool Georgia shirt to wear this summer. You'll have to wait and see what he got you when you get home.

After the bookstore, Daddy feed me in the Tate Center. I didn't want the formula because it wasn't warm, but luckily Grandma Joyce found a lady who let her use a microwave to warm it up. After my bottle we went over to the Arch to take some pictures.












After that it was time to head home. This afternoon I didn't want to sleep at all probably because I was so excited about seeing UGA. I am also teething so thank you for telling Daddy to get me that cold teether from the fridge. I did amaze Daddy and Grandma Joyce by climbing up ALL the stairs from the basement up to the living room!

I can't wait to see you tomorrow! Even if I'm sleeping will you come in my room and give me a kiss?

Love you!

Jack

Mommy,

What a day! I know I told you about my long nap, but I even slept a lot this afternoon. Earlier this morning Grandma Joyce was trying to get me to walk. I thought about it, but then I figured I'd wait for you to get home before I start walking! Here I am trying to take a step. I still have a ways to go so don't worry. You will be there when I take my first steps.

At lunch Daddy let me eat without any clothes on! I didn't spill at all, and I ate a vegetable and all of my yogurt. I think Daddy is running low on food so you better be sure to get me some more this weekend!

After we went for a walk to get the mail, we played outside for awhile and then I hung out in my bouncer. Bath time was great, and Daddy put some suds on my head. I kept trying to get out of the bath and loved splashing Daddy and Grandma Joyce. Only a few more days, and I get to see you! I love you and miss you tons. Can't wait to see you on Friday night!

Love,

Jack

Nap Time!

Mommy,

I just thought I'd let you know I'm still sleeping even though Daddy put me in my crib at 9:15! Daddy finally put my sleep sack on me for my naps. It keeps me warm so I don't wake up as easily. If I could talk I would have told him this weeks ago!

Here are a few pictures of us from this morning. Hope you're having a great day!

What a day!

Mommy,

Wow, what a busy busy day! Daddy dropped me off at daycare today, and then he told me he was going to get Grandma Joyce! They came to the daycare to see me in the afternoon, but I was sleeping. I knew they were coming and tried to stay up to see them, but I was just so sleepy after painting and playing with everyone.

They came back and got me, and then took me home to play. Grandma Joyce loved taking a tour of the daycare. She thought it was the nicest one she's seen!

While I was at daycare, Daddy and Grandma surprised you with something. Look!

After I got home we played for awhile. Grandma Joyce just couldn't believe how much I could move around! We had a good time, and then it was off for a bath. Grandma helped while Daddy gave me a bath for 10th night in a row! It's like I won the lottery! I only drank about 5 ounces of formula, but I was so sleepy I wasn't that interested in it.

Only a few more days! I can't wait to see you on Friday. Finally, here is something that will make the days go by even faster! Here is Grandma making me laugh after my bath!

Love,

The Bugglies

Sorry Mommy!

Mommy,

Daddy told me this morning you were sad because I didn't post a lot of updates yesterday. I was just so busy at daycare I didn't have time! I had some time this morning to use the computer lab at daycare so I'm writing you now. I'm really excited to see Grandma Joyce later today.

Also, Daddy was telling me last night as I drank my bottle that the night before he was making dinner in the oven and the smoke detector went off! Apparently some food had dripped down onto the oven floor and it smoked a little. I didn't even wake up! Daddy was frantically trying to wave a pillow under the smoke detector to get it to shut off before it woke up. Never fear - didn't even stir! Daddy says I must have gotten your talent of sleeping through anything.

I was up early this morning showing off how well I can stand in my crib even when it's 5 a.m. and pitch black!

Here I am this morning showing Daddy how sturdy the bookshelf is that he attached to the wall. I can't wait for you to get home to read me a story from one of these books!

I like the time before I go to daycare when Daddy lets me run around without any clothes on. I showed him how I can stand next to the ottoman and then I wanted to pet Chloe. She didn't like that much.

Have a great day at training, and I can't believe it's only a few more days until I get to see you! I love you!

Jack
