Weekend of Rollers

This was a weekend of rollers for two reasons...number 1, Mom spent the whole weekend with a paint roller since she painted the entire livingroom, and number 2, because I finally ROLLED OVER!!!! Yep, I am a big roller now!

I spent most of the weekend with Dad since Mom was busy painting. We played together, napped together, took a walk together! He helped me with my bath and changed my diapers. Of course, I still got to see Mom ever now and again since she is my main food source, but she missed the big first roll. I was up with Daddy on the bed, playing with my toys and my toes (which is a new favorite activity of mine). He put me on my belly and I was pushing with my arms and all of a sudden...BAM!! I was on my back again!!

To all my loyal readers, sorry about missing my first day of blogging since I started. I was so tired last night from the day with Daddy that I totally forgot until this morning! I am sure it won't be the only one I miss, but I promise to keep everyone up-to-date, especially on big milestones like today's big rollover!!

Friendly Neighbors

I woke up to the sounds of hammering again this morning. Yep, our roofers were back, but they finished up today and now we have a brand new roof on the house. Mom and I wanted to get away from all the noise for a while so we took a walk down our road. We had two neighbors who were having garage sales, so Mom and I stopped by and introduced ourselves. I just love to meet new people!

I was home for most of the rest of the day. I like to play alot more now. I am getting stronger everyday and can now hold myself up well in my activity center. I just think it is so fun! My favorite is to whack the little green froggy with my hand and make it spin around.



I seem to be getting a lot of new hair lately! It is coming in much lighter than that dark, fuzzy hair I had when I was born. Looks like I am going to be blonde like my Dad!

Raise the Roof

I woke up this morning to a big ruckus! There was all sorts of banging and scrapping coming from the ceiling. It was quite puzzling, but I later learned that we were getting a new roof! There were these guys who were walking all around up on our roof! They were throwing stuff down and carrying stuff up. It sure looked like a lot of work.

Mom and I couldn't take all the noise so we retreated up to Ed & Sarah house. I got to see my friend Tully. He was sleeping when I got there, so I got to play with some of his toys. Here I am on his surf board. I am on my belly, which is unusual for me because I don't like to be that way. I am getting more and more used to it though, especially as I get stronger!

Oh, and guess what?!! I am 5 months old today! Dad weighed me this morning and I came in at 16 pounds! I have learned so much in 5 months! I can't wait to see what more I know 5 months from now!

Born in the USA

We spent our 4th of July at my Uncle Joe and Aunt Michelle's new house in Arcade, NY. We picked up Grandma Peters and Grandma Peterson in Hornell so they could drive out with us. They put on quite a show for me in the backseat! Those are two crazy grandmas! My Grandpa Lynn also came to spend the afternoon with us.

Even though it was rainy all day, we had tons of fun! We took advantage of a quick break in the rain to go for a walk down to the park near their house. I got to play with all my cousin Cohen's toys. My favorite was his new kitchen set. Don't I make quite a cute chef?The food was good, but the utensils were even better!

Back to the Old Routine

It was strange to wake up this morning and have no one else here but Mom. It was kind of nice though. I like the old routine we have. I woke up a little earlier this morning since I am finally catching up on sleep from the crazy weekend. I was up with Dad at 5:30 AM! I didn't stay up for long though. I laid in bed with Mom, got a little breakfast and went right back to sleep.

We thought some guys were coming to the house to work on our new roof today, but they only came for a few minutes and decided to come back tomorrow. We won't be here tomorrow though. Mom says it is a special holiday to celebrate our great country, the United States of America. Apparently we are going to see my Uncle Joe and Aunt Michelle's new house in Arcade, NY. Not only will my cousin Cohen be there, but my two Grandmas and my Grandpa Peters will be there too! It should be a good time!

Mom and I went out and had lunch with Daddy and his buddy Steve today. Then Mom dragged me around on a few errands. I didn't mind though. I love going places with her! She takes me everywhere she goes. I like being out and about and seeing all sorts of new people. They all sure seem to get a kick out of me!

All Good Things Must Come to an End

Today officially marked the end of our weekend festivities when my Uncle George, Aunt Laurie and cousins, Sarah, Karlie and Jenna left around 12:30 PM. It seem strangely quiet and a little lonely with everyone gone. I can't wait until next year!!

The weekend left Mom, Dad and I all very tired. I slept most of the afternoon. I woke up when Dad came home. He had to go back to work today. We watched some old epsiodes of Little Rascals, which is this show my Dad thinks is so funny. You should see him laugh when he watches it!! It is almost as funny as when I get laughing!

Mom tried to feed me this funny green stuff for dinner tonight. I have been liking the cereal she makes me, but I wasn't so sure about this green stuff. She said they are called peas. At first I thought they were okay and I took some mouthfuls with no problem. But after a while, I wasn't so sure. They make my mouth kind of pucker and my face shiver, so I just spit them out.

Mom was too tired to cook and already tired of the leftovers from the weekend, so we decide to go to Friendly's for dinner. Dad had this crazy trick!! He had these stick-like things on his plate and he would put them up to his mouth, and then...BAM...they were gone!! I just kept watching him go back and forth from his plate to his mouth. I still dont' know where they all went!

I learned one fun new thing this weekend. I would do this fake cough and everyone would laugh and give me more attention. I have been trying it out on Mom and Dad, and it worked for a while, but it seems to be losing its affect. I am going to have to come up with new moves to up my cuteness factor.

Fun-day Sunday

Today was like a mini-picnic!!! Not quite as many people as yesterday, but still as much fun! My Uncle George, Aunt Laurie, Grandma Peterson and cousins, Sarah, Karlie and Jenna all stayed overnight in their RV, and my Uncle Gary and Aunt Jane stayed over in their Scamper (that is not misspelled...it the small camper!). So when I woke up this morning, everyone was up and waiting for me! I had my normal breakfast, but they all ate this big breakfast!! Then we hung out, relaxed and enjoyed the day together!

Even though there wasn't as many people, I still was in someone's arms all day long. I got to spend good quality time with everyone. Even Roger, Kathy, Kaitlyn and Kristen came back over today (they stay at the hotel down the road) and Aunt Shannon & Sadie came back over!! Like I said, it was a mini-party!

It was a lot cooler today so I had to stay bundled up. It was easy to stay warm with all the cuddles I got. I even hung out with all the girls on the hammock for a good photo opp!

Me, Karlie, Kristen, Sadie, Jenna, Sarah & Kaitlyn

It was hard to say good-bye to everyone! The weekend went so fast. Mom said that time usually flies when you are having fun! Somehow that doesn't seem fair.
