Sittin' on your shoulder...

Hey daddy. Wish I was here:

Or here:

Mommy's keepin' me trapped in my bed, though :(
I hope you have a good day. I love you!
~Love, Mr. Foochie

Good Morning!

Hey. Just thought I'd say hello. Thought I'd let you know that I had a super fun time with you this weekend. I wish I could spend EVERY day with you like that!

I love you very much and hope you have a great day at work! I wish I was sittin' on your shoulders!

Can I get a smile?

Hey dad, wuz up? Mommy said she thought this picture of me playin' would make you smile. Hope your day is going better!

Love you!

Happy Birthday!

Hey dad! Just wanted to say happy birthday. I hope everyone is being nice to you. If they're not, tell them "It's my birthday! Be nice to me!" :)

Mom helped me make this cool sign for you. Then I got to play with it.

I'm trying to give it to you...but you aren't home. So you can have it when you get home.

We're doing good today. We've been playing and reading.

Mom keeps taking my picture, though, and I'm getting tired of it...this is my exasperated look...

We made a little video for you. Enjoy it. Turn it up real loud so the people in the cubicles next to you can hear it :)

I love you!

One more day 'till daddy comes home!

Hey daddy! I just wanted to say hello. Mommy didn't take any pictures of me today, so there aren't any new pics of me today. I'm not really sure why she didn't take pictures, because I was pretty cute today.
My day was pretty busy again today. I got up at 6 and wanted to eat, but mommy didn't come...so I fell back to sleep. I only cried (and not even very hard) for about 5 minutes before I decided to go back to sleep, so it wasn't too bad. I got up again at 8 and mommy let me eat then. I went to school with mom and hung out while she taught her class. I'm so excited about next Tueday when YOU watch me while mommy teaches. I think it will be a super fun daddy day. After mom was done with her class and her meeting we went to Abuela's house.
We had such a fun time! I was happy and smiling almost the whole time! We got there at 2 and I ate and then played with grandma. Grandma has a SUPER soft blanket that I laid on while we played. I liked it so much that when mom put me on my belly I snuggled up to it instead of hating being on my belly. Mom says it's like a blue one we have at home, but I've never been on it...maybe she can get it out for me tomorrow.
I took a nap at 4 and then got up around 5-that's when Abuelo got home. We had dinner together, and I talked the WHOLE time. It was fun. Mommy ate pork chops and rice-I can't wait to taste that! She got heartburn, though, so hopefully it won't upset my stomache!
I fell asleep on the way home, so when we got home mom woke me up and played with me for a little while. I took my bath a little later, and didn't get to bed until about 8:30. Don't tell mom that I snuck over to the computer while she wasn't looking and am writing this. I promise I'll go right back to bed :)
Best part of today: Going to Abuela's house
Worst part of today: Not even getting to TALK to daddy!
I'm so excited to see you tomorrow!

Look what I did today!

Hello daddy! I hope you had a good day. Mommy said you did some cool stuff. I'm thinking we need to get one of those showers here at home-I would REALLY like it! Can I have it? Please, please, please, please,pleasepleasepleaseplease...Mommy said to stop begging...
Today has been a good day, but pretty busy. I got up at 5 and ate then went back to bed. When I got up at 8 I ate again, but I wasn't really hungry. I really should stop getting up at 5 so I'm super hungry at 8...oh well. I like seeing mommy at 5.
We went to the park, and it was pretty fun. There were a whole bunch of other kids there! Most of them are older, though, and they were playing on the playground. I watched them for a while and then hung out with mommy while she talked to some of her new friends.
We came home and mommy tried to get me to take a nap. It didn't work. I showed her! Except, because I didn't take a nap, I fell asleep while I was eating and didn't get to eat as much...so I guess she showed me...
We played for a little while-that's what these pictures are from.
Mommy laughed at this one...she said something about a bird, but I don't see a bird in the picture...do you know what she's talking about? You'll have to let me know if you do...

I finally decided to take a nap at 3:45. I slept until 4:30 and then mommy and I went over to Uncle Ryan and Aunt Jenny's house. It was pretty fun. We ate dinner with them. Carly kept pulling my little bug thing on my car seat, and I was completely entertained. Uncle Ryan played with me for a while-he was teaching me to do sit-ups. I'm workin' on my six pack. Then they were watching videos on stupidvideos.com. You need to check that site out..it's pretty funny.

We came home and I took a bath, ate, and went to bed.

The best part of today: Seeing Uncle Ryan, Aunt Jenny, Ben and Carly.

The worst part of today: Not getting a goodnight kiss from you :(

I can't wait until you get home!

I love you!

I'm missin' my daddy...

Hey dad. I know you're busy, but I thought I'd say hello. Today has been okay so far. I went with mommy to nursery, but I decided I didn't want to take a nap until it was almost time to go. Mom said it was okay, though, because I laid in the crib most of the time and was pretty happy. She had to hold me for the last 20 minutes, but it wasn't too bad.
I fell asleep at 10:50 so mom took me home, and I slept in my car seat. As soon as she had her lunch made I woke up and made her feed me first. I was hungry! It was already 11:30! So I ate and hung out in my swing while she ate. Then I decided to poop through my clothes, so that's why I'm wearing this instead of my church clothes.
We're playing on the floor with my dog, and I thought you might like to play along :)
Don't work too hard!
I love you!
(By the way...mommy says sorry the video is sideways...)

Another Tuesday

Hey dad! Just wanted to say hello. This is a picture of me getting ready to go to Aunt Jenny's house while mom teaches. Yup, mom is still trying to get me to love my bunny...I think it is starting to work :)
Today has been okay so far. I got really hungry at Aunt Jenny's house, and ate at 10:30 and then again at 12:3o. Oh well...mom says she wasn't sure the 4oz I ate at 10:30 would be enough, so it is a good thing she brought more milk for me! I would have been STARVING by now! I kinda cried a bit at Aunt Jenny's, but she said she didn't mind. I sure hope she didn't!
Mom went to see my friend Olivia. She said she was so cute! She meant to take pictures, but she forgot to take the camera in...she said she was so hungry she couldn't think straight...
Now we're home and I'm hanging out in my car seat (I fell asleep on the way home and am still zonked out...not sure how I can type and sleep at the same time, but I am brilliant ya know...) Mom had to pump and then she made some tea...it's a dreary, rainy day, and she thought tea would be the perfect thing for the afternoon. It's kinda cold in here right now too, so mom might turn the heat up. I heard it is suppose to get in the 30's this week! It'll feel like Michigan all over again!
Anyway, just thought I'd say hello!
Love you!

Hey dad! I just thought I'd say hello. I know I'm back home, and you see me every day, but sometimes I get lonely for you during the day, and I wonder if you get lonely for me while you're working...so I thought every once in a while I'd send you some updates during the day, so you know what I'm doing.
Like my glasses? Aunt Jenny put them on me. I guess I'm probably doomed to wear glasses someday, but hopefully they won't be THIS big :) This was from Tuesday when I spent some time with Aunt Jenny. We had a fun time together.
Today has been pretty good so far. I went to class with mommy. Some lady held me after I finally woke up. I slept the whole time mommy taught, and when she came out, I woke up, and Miss Dina held me. I was pretty good for a couple of minutes, but then I remembered I was wet and hungry, so mommy changed my diaper and then took me home to feed me.
She keeps watching this show called "The Office" while she feeds me. She laughs pretty hard every time she watches it. I don't really get it yet...maybe someday.
Anyway, just thought I'd say hi. I'm trying to put a video on...hopefully this computer will work better for that than Grandma's. While it's uploading I think I'll take a nap. Mommy has my new CD player with the CD grandma got me playing, and it is making me sleepy. (Bad news...the video won't upload on this computer either...I'll have mom show it to you when you get home)

Can't wait until you get home!!!

On our way!

Hey dad. This is my last post from Michigan! We are going to be leaving in about an hour. Mom is all packed and I am in my swing.
I really hope that the trip goes okay. Last night my cold got a little worse, so did mom's...I woke up at 1:30 and ate, and then again at 4:30. At 4:30 my nose was stuffy, and I kind of gagged on my spit up a couple of times. I was coughing, and some spit-up came up, and I sounded awful when it came up. Mom held me for a while, and then put me back in bed. She was worried about me gagging again, so she didn't sleep very well. At 6:30 I did the same thing again, and she jumped out of bed, picked me up, and fliped me over, and a bunch of spit-up came out. I fell back asleep, but mom held me for a long time. Grandma held me while mom took a shower, but then she had to go to work. (She's not going to be able to take us to the airport :( Randee and Johnny are) Mom held me until 9:00, when Aunt Kristi got here. She put me in my swing, and Aunt Kristi watched me while mom finished packing. I haven't really eaten since 4:30. Mom tried to feed me at 7:30, but I only ate for 5 minutes, spit up, and fell back asleep.
I'm resting now, so hopefully when I wake up I'll be able to eat and will fell a lot better. We'll see...
Anyway, I hope your day has started off better than ours. Mom and I are really looking forward to being with you. She's a little nervous about the flight, but I think I'll be okay. I think she's hoping I don't spit up everywhere...
Well, I'll see you in just a few hours!
I love you!

One more day 'till I'm home!!!

Good morning! It is 6:30 am here, and I just got up to eat. I had a little bit of a rough night...I really don't like sleeping without that sleep positioner. It took me an hour to fall asleep at 8 last night, and I woke up a couple of times before midnight. Then I got up at 1:30 to eat, and I couldn't fall back asleep. I cried for quite a while, so mom put the sleep positioner back in, and I fell right asleep, and didn't get up until 6:30. I think I'm getting a little cold or something too. My nose is a little stuffy, so when I'm flat on my back I feel like I can't breath very well. Hopefully I will get over that soon.
Did you notice that I am holding a rattle in the picture above? That's my new trick. I just learned how to do it the other day. I'm getting so big!!
Yesterday was a pretty fun day. Grandma had a shower for me, and I got to meet some of mom's old friends. I got a really nice blanket from great grandma, and a bunch of gift certificates. It should be fun using those to buy some stuff for me :)
I got to take a nap after the shower with mommy. It was pretty nice snuggling up to her in her bed (although I think mommy enjoyed it more than I did...) Uncle Rick and Aunt Kristi were there when I got up, and Isaiah and Adriana got to hold me. They were pretty good at holding me! I think they are practicing for when their new brother comes along. We went to Dairy Queen for dinner, and mom got a cheeseburger. She didn't feel too great after she ate it, though...that might be part of the reason I didn't do so great last night...who knows. After I went to bed they stayed up and watched 'Mama Mia'...but I don't think aunt Randee liked it. Apparently she doesn't like musicals. Oh well. Mommy liked it.
Today we are going to church, I think...there is suppose to be freezing rain this morning, so if the roads are too bad we probably won't go. I think we probably will end up going. After church I think mommy wants to go to 'Spotlight' (that's Uncle Rick's Sunday afternoon program for chamber ministries). I think it gets over at 5. She has to get everything packed up today too, so she might be kind of busy.
I hope you have a good Sunday! I'm sad I didn't get to see you last night on Skype. Maybe I can see you today while you're at Uncle Eliott's house. I'm so excited to be home with you tomorrow! I miss you a lot.

Happy New Year!...a little late...

Hey dad! Sorry I haven't written in a couple of days. I've been pretty busy, ya know, poopin', eatin' and sleepin'. I can't believe it's 2009! I sure wish I could have entered the New year with you...I think this should be the last time we spend New Years eve apart. I think mom is pretty sad you're not here too. She misses you a lot. I think she's ready to come home with me. She's having a GREAT time at Grandpa and grandma's house, but she misses you a lot.
The new year so far has been pretty good. New Year's eve while I was sleeping mom went swimming with everyone. They had fun playing Marco Polo. I slept my way into the new year, but I was the first one to wake up in the new year at this house!

Mom was playing with some settings on the camera and took this picture of me while I was trying to fall asleep. It was completely dark in the room except for my monitor light. I thought it was kind of cool that you could still see me in the dark.

Yesterady we didn't do much. We were all kind of tired--even me! I slept almost all day, and was in bed by 9! One fun thing that we did do was go see 'Marly and Me'. It was a very good movie. I really liked sititng there and looking at that giant screen! But then I got hungry, so mom fed me, and I slept through most of the movie. I woke up for the last 15 minutes, and decided to cry a bit, so mom took me out for a minute, and then came back in and watched the rest of the movie from the bottom. It was a good movie, but it was a little sad at the end.

We came home and had enchaladas for dinner. THEN, I got to see YOU! That was the best part of my day.

One thing we saw yesterday was a deer eating grandpa's leftover corn. It was pretty close to the house, and we thought that was pretty cool.

Today has been pretty good so far. Uncle Josh and Aunt Renae just left at 11...they were suppose to leave at 5 this morning, but Uncle Josh got sick last night and threw up (YUCK!), so he slept in for a little while longer, and they left. He says he is feeling a little better, but not great. I hope he doesn't stay sick the whole way home! It takes them 20 hours! I'm sure glad mom and I are flying!
Right now I'm hanging out in my swing. I'm workin' on another poopy diaper for mom to change, and just relaxing. The house is quite for the first time since I got here...me and mom are the only ones home this morning. Mom says she is going to clean the house for grandma, because they are having a shower for me tomorrow. That should be fun.

I thought you would like this picture. It makes me smile :)

Have a great day! Hopefully I will get to see you tonight on the computer!

I love you!
