Smiling happy family
Peek-A-Boo!
I'm so happy to report that my daddy is home from the hospital! He had some back pain, but now the doctor says it should be all better for now. She even set his weight restriction at 17 lbs, so he can carry me around! Whoo hoo! I hung out with my mom and Grandma and Grandpa Kienow at the hospital for 10 hours and was a really good boy. The nurses were all over me. I made an impression. Grandma and Grandpa babysat me all day while mom stayed with dad at the hospital. When Mom got home she brought me the best present ever- my dad!
Now its been 2 weeks since dad's surgery and I was very sad to say goodbye to my grandma. She got on the train to Indiana this morning and we waved bye-bye from the platform. Grandma stayed with us almost 3 whole weeks! She helped mom clean my room, changed my diapers, gave me baths and burped me a whole lot! I'm sure it was fun for her especially at 4 a.m. when she was nice enough to let my mom sleep some. I did some growing while grandma was here and learned that I can use my lungs even more and now scream especially when I'm unhappy. Mom doesn't seem to like this new development as much as some of my other achievements. Over the last few weeks I have become very interested in cups, glasses, mugs, and pretty much any object that contains liquids that people around me are drinking. I watch my mom and dad carefully when they put things in their mouth and I grab at their food. Oh yes- I will be eating solid food very, very soon!
