Daddy Time!

Jace
On Monday, Maren and miss Tami came over for a visit. We all had a tea party and then Marin and I started fighting over toys and not sharing very well. I got several time outs and went to bed after lunch. Mama and miss Tami did some canning while I was napping, and I woke up in a better mood. Maren got several time outs after I got up and Bella cried a lot. Miss Tami and mama were glad when the day was over. I helped mama pack or bags and load the jeep before going to bed. We headed to grandma's the next morning because mama had to work. We had another tea party, and I sang happy birthday to grandma even though her birthday wasn't until the next day. Uncle Nick and aunt Lori sent some movies home for me to watch sometime. On Wednesday morning, daddy Bella and I went over to the Rogers house while mama and miss Tami went for a hike and out to lunch. Maren and I played together a little better that day while daddy and Allan made summer sausage. I got to watch Peter pan as a special treat before bed, I enjoyed it very much. On Thursday, we worked around the house, I watched daddy cut a big tree down in the driveway and then helped haul the slash to a burn pile. Daddy and mama went to workout and Bella and I went because they have a new sitter at the gym. Her name is Jovanna and she is very sweet. On Friday morning, we went to town to get the oil changed in the jeep and visit our old neighbor miss Laurie. Daddy and I did a few chores for her then she took us to lunch. While Bella and I napped, daddy and mama fell another tree, and I helped clean it up after I got up. It was a productive few days, but I enjoyed spending time with my daddy on his days off. He headed back to work today, and I helped mama with laundry and dishes this morning. I entertained Bella by singing patty cake, and mama helped me put some wooden puzzles together. I did some painting while Bella napped, then took a very long nap after lunch.

I was a happy girl on Monday morning when I woke up, but as the day went on, I got really cranky. I cried a lot throughout the day and never slept for more than 20 minutes at a time all day. Mama said I must have a tummy ache, but I was very unhappy. I went to bed at 7:30, and mama had to wake me up to go to grandma's the next morning. I was feeling much better, and was my normal happy self on Tuesday. I was a good girl for daddy on Wednesday morning, but mama got home a little late to feed me, so I got a little fussy. I snuggled with Jace while he watched Peter Pan and surprised mama that night by sleeping for 12 hours. I took a big morning nap and a big afternoon nap so mama got lots done around the house. I have managed to out grow my bouncy chair already, I like to sit up whenever I can! I was good for the sitter at the gym and went back to sleeping 10 hours that night. I gave miss Laurie lots of smiles when she held me and I slept through lunch. Mama made me have lots of tummy time today, but I didn't mind it much. She dressed me in a warm snuggly outfit, and I stayed warm even though it was chilly in the house today.
