Fever scare

Well, I scared Mommy and Daddy on Tuesday night. When Mommy picked me up from my late nap I was hot to the touch so Daddy took my temperature. It said 100.1 and the doctor said it was ok if it were under 100.5. Grandma and Grandpa had 2 more thermometers so Daddy retested to make sure ours was correct. They read 101.8 and 101.6 so Mommy and Daddy brought me to the hospital in Streator to get checked out. When we got to the hospital they took my temp and it was 103.5 so they gave me some tylenol and did a lot of tests. They took 4 tries to take my blood and it made me VERY upset because they had to hold me down and dig around in my arm for the vein. Daddy growled at the last nurse that tried and failed. Every time I would fall asleep they would have to do another test so I was very tired after a while. After all the tests, they all came back negative so they weren't able to tell us why I had such a fever. We finally got home at 3am. I slept all day Wednesday except when Mommy fed me and when Daddy and Mommy gave me a bath. My fever would keep coming back after the medicine wore off. The doctor said we would have to go see him to do more tests if the fever hadn't stopped within a day. After sleeping all day Wednesday I was starting to feel better when Mommy and Daddy were going to sleep. I am feeling much better today. Thanks Mommy and Daddy for taking care of me when I was sick!!

First Olan Mills pic. This is the one that we told you about originally. Still came out good, though.

Picture Collage

We got the pictures from the photographer and one will be sending many of you. Here's the collage Mommy and Daddy had done. My picture with the pouty face came out very cute. I was very sleepy when we were there so that's why we didn't get many smiley ones. Will post more later.

My first laugh

I really like when Mommy throws me in the air and catches me! It made me laugh out loud yesterday. I never did that before!! Nothing else is new. We get our pictures back from Sears tomorrow!

Happily N'Ever After

Yesterday Mommy & Daddy brought me to see the movie "Happily N'Ever After" at the $2 theater in the Joliet mall. It was so neat. I started to get fussy before the movie started but once it was on I calmed down and watched. I saw almost the whole thing except for the little nap I took. I really liked the movie, especially the part with Rumplestilstken and the baby. If you haven't seen it yet, you should!!

My trip to Wal-mart

Today I went to Bloomington with mommy, daddy, grandma and grandpa. We had lunch at wendy's and then we went to Wal-mart it was a lot of fun. Grandma and grandpa got me a glow worm that I named glowy. It's my favorite toy. Mommy and daddy got me a leap frog piano with colors and shapes on it and it plays music, now I can learn new things with it. I had a lot of fun today and I really like playing with my new toys. I am still trying to get the glow worm to light up but I can't push hard enough yet. I almost forgot I got some new clothes today too they are really nice. Thanks mommy and daddy and grandma and grandpa for my new toys and making today a lot of fun.

My visit to Uncle Willie's house

Today Mommy and Daddy brought me to visit with Uncle Willie. I got to see a birdie for the first time and it talked to me! It was sooooo cool. Then I got to see fishies swimming around in a huge fish tank. How do they do that? They look funny. After that we went to the basement and saw what a great job Uncle Willie did finishing the floor and such. Daddy played on the pool table for a few minutes and I cheered him on. When we went back upstairs to leave there was a GIGANTIC doggie. I've never seen anything so big!! It was a very fun day.

I love my Daddy!

My first boo-boo

Today I got my first accidental boo-boo. Mommy was trying to cut my little nails and I was too excited that Daddy was there and so I was moving around a lot. I moved my hand just when Mommy was cutting my nail, accidentally cutting the tip of my finger. It hurted a real lot and bled for a few minutes but my Mommy and Daddy did a great job fixing it for me. Daddy took a circle bandaid and cut off the ends to make a baby bandaid that could fit my little finger. It feels really wierd and I've been trying to taste it but they won't let me. A few minutes after it happened, Daddy made it feel better by putting magical lotion on it. Mommy cried and told Daddy that she thought she was a bad mommy, but I still think she's the best! In fact, today all day I was Mommy's girl and really didn't want Daddy to hold me too much. Accidents happen.

Daddy found a better job!!

Today my Daddy was supposed to start working at a gas station but they called for him to start Monday instead. So he decided to look for a better job today and tomorrow. See, the gas station is in Ottawa, about 1 hour away, and the hours were 3pm-11pm. He wanted to find a better job so that he would be home at normal times when I'm awake so he went to town. Mommy was looking at the newspaper online and found a job that was just added to their advertisements and told daddy about it. He went to apply and got an interview on the spot. They offered him a job and he is sooooooooo excited... and so am I cause I get to see my daddy every night before I go to bed. Great job daddy!!
