Mortimer and Dr. P

Hey everyone! I've had a good week and wanted to tell you about it. On Tuesday I got to meet a very special person. Her name was Janice Collins. She is good friends wth my nana and is married to the preacher of the church where mommy went when she was still living in Candler. Her son David is a good friend of my daddy's from elementary school. Anyway, she came to visit to bring some yummy food. David and Myers (David's son) came too but they stayed in the car since David had a cold. I really liked meeting her. She took a picture of her holding me and sent it to my nana to make her jealous. That made me laugh!

On Wednesday something bad happened. My daddy got sick with the stomach bug like my mommy had last week. So mom and I went to the mall and over to Aunt Misty and Uncle Eddie's house so we wouldn't get sick (even though they had it just the day before). I spent the night over there and my Aunt Misty and Uncle Eddie helped my mommy take care of me. I also got to see Evan a lot so that was really fun!

On Thursday I went to see Dr. Tanaka. My mommy was worried about me since I don't seem to sleep much. He gave me some yummy tasting medicine that is supposed to help me not reflux. He also told mommy to let me sleep on my tummy if I wanted to since I like that a whole lot better and don't wake up every 15 minutes. Then I went with mommy to her doctor appointment. It was her 6 week check up since she had me. It has actually been seven weeks but she had to cancel last week when she was sick. Guess who I got to meet. Dr. Privette! Mommy said that she was the first person that I ever met. She delivered me. My mommy and daddy like her a whole lot since she was so sweet to them and cared so much for me while I was in the hospital. She called me a funny name. She called me Mortimer. Seems daddy was up to his usual tricks when mommy went to the hospital. He told the triage nurse that they were going to name me Mortimer. From then on, all the nurses and Dr. Privette called me Mortimer or Morty for short. Daddy is silly. Speaking of, he's home for lunch so I am going to go visit him. I'll write again soon. Love you all!

Hey Bill, my diaper has shovel-ready stuff in it too!

Hey Everyone.

Whew, let me tell you, I had a hard time sleeping the other night. That's probably why my dad was hanging out with me just about every hour of the night. He must not know that I'm just a kid, because he was telling me some scary bedtime stories - mostly about some of the stuff that goes on in Washington.

I would share some of those stories with you, but I think they scare mom some too.

Anyway, here's a picture of me and and the stimulus bill - you can see we weigh about the same right now. He's a pretty big dude.

The last few days

Hey everyone! I thought I would write and let you know what I've been up to the past few days. On Tuesday I went with my mommy to visit her friend Robyn in Burlington. Evan and Aunt Misty went with us. We had a really good time in the car trying to see who could scream louder. I think it was a tie. Mommy and Aunt Misty just laughed and turned up the radio (which didn't have any music on it just white noise). When we got to Burlington we met Robyn and her daughter Abi. She was really pretty. Evan kept eating her food but I was content with my bottle. Aunt Becky and Elizabeth came too! Apparently, I met Aunt Becky at the hospital but she hadn't gotten to hold me so she cuddled with me a while. I liked that a whole lot! Elizabeth sang me a song. It was "It's a small world". I love her. She wanted me to come back to her house but we couldn't go that day. Mommy promised we would visit her soon. Mommy said she had a really good time seeing all of her old friends again. She went to something called preschool with all these people. That's so strange that she is still friends with people she has known for so long.

On Wednesday, I got to see Hannah again. Aunt Misty was watching her while Aunt Kennette went to the doctor. She's been sick and I want her to feel better. When Aunt Kennette and Uncle Nealson were done at the doctor, they came up to have lunch with us. And guess what. My daddy came home too! So Aunt Kennette, Uncle Nealson, Hannah, Aunt Misty, Evan, Daddy, Mommy and I all had lunch together. We missed Uncle Eddie a whole lot! On Wednesday night, I got to hang out with my daddy while my mommy went to have dinner with some friends from work. We had a good time. Mommy had a good time too until she woke up to feed me at 2:00 and started throwing up. She threw up and threw up until she finally told daddy to take me to Aunt Misty and Uncle Eddie's house so I wouldn't get sick. So daddy stayed home with me all day on Thursday and I got to hang out with my Aunt Misty and Evan. It was pretty cool except I missed my mommy. She is feeling better this morning so daddy went back to work. I miss him when he is away. He did such a good job of taking care of me while mommy was sick. Mommy and I love him for that.

I have to go take a nap now. I am very excited because my Mamaw and Papaw Frisbee are coming to visit me today!!!! I will write again soon. Love you all!

My new friends

Hi everyone! I made two new friends today. Their names are Hannah and Holden. Aunt Kennette and Uncle Nealson came to visit and brought them too! I loved seeing them. Hannah is really pretty. She didn't want to hold me but she did watch my mommy change my diaper. That was pretty cool. Holden got to hold me on my big yellow boppy pillow. I loved hanging out with him. I think I am going to like playing with them when I get older. Tomorrow I am going to Burlington to my mommy's friend Robyn's house. Mommy says that she has known Robyn since she was just a bit older than me. That's really crazy! My aunt Misty and Evan are going with us. We are going to meet my aunt Becky, Elizabeth and Robyn's daughter Abigail. I am pretty excited about that. I will write and let you know how it goes. I love you all very much. Talk to you soon.

My Weekend

I've had a busy week. Sunday my Uncle Jeff came to visit. We had dinner with Sharon and Dan on Sunday night. On Wednesday I got a treat! I got to stay home with my daddy for a few hours while my mommy went to the doctor. I didn't know grown-ups go to the doctor too! I didn't sleep very well on Wednesday night so mommy and I went for a ride at 3:30 in the morning. We drove past the Krispy Kreme but it wasn't open. Mommy was sad. On Thursday I had lunch with Jane. I love her. Everytime she holds me I just go to sleep. Mommy asked her if she could come over in the middle of the night sometimes. Friday mommy and I went to the RTP and had lunch with Daniel, Lori, James, Misty and Evan. Oh yeah, and daddy! That night my friends Kristin, Eric and Zach came over. They brought some yummy food for mommy and daddy to eat. I just got to eat the same old formula. One day I'll get to eat that food too. Today we went to Misty and Eddie's to watch NC State play basketball. Everyone was really shocked that the Pack won. I was so excited that I didn't sleep much. Mommy and daddy are hoping that means I'll sleep well tonight but we'll see. OK, mom and I are going to the grocery store. My papaw George and mamaw Jean are coming to visit tomorrow. I am SO excited!!! I'll write again really soon. I love you all.

Life's Hard.

So this weekend Dad calls for a mandatory family meeting. I look over to Mom, and she's already rolling her eyes and putting her finger up to her head with her thumb pulled back - giving the universal sign for "I'd rather shoot myself." Mom cracks me up. Seriously. Remind me sometime to tell you about that thing she does where she sticks her tongue out at me - hilarious! She's got a gift, I tell you.

Anywho, the purpose of the meeting, as it turns out, is to figure out how little Benjamin can start carrying his weight around the house, now that he's a month old. Me: What. The. Haitch. Eee. Double-Hockey-Sticks? You can not be serious. Yup, the old man wants me to get a job.

Now I'll admit that at first I was a little skeptical, but I've given it some thought and I think I've learned a lot this past month that I could put to good use out in the work place. As long as the job is more focused on skills like bottle-sucking, diaper filling, and crying...and doesn't require that I'm able to talk, or sit up, or feed myself, or control my bowels, I'm pretty much up to the challenge. I do worry about Mom some though - who is she going to feed and burp and change and rock to sleep while I'm out working for The Man? Aw man, no time to dwell on that - the alarm is going off and I've got to get ready to face the world...mmm, right after I hit the snooze bar just this one more time.

Lunch with Daddy

Guess what. Today I went to have lunch with my daddy at his work for the very first time. He works a long way away so I slept most of the way there. We went to this place called Chick-fil-a. Mom and dad like the food but I just liked to sleep there. But when I'm a little older I would like to play on their playground. The good news is that my mommy can play with me too since she is under the height restriction to play.

When we were taking daddy back to work we ran into our friend Lori. She and my cousin James were there to meet Daniel. I loved seeing them (even through my closed eyelids!) This is a picture of Lori holding me and mommy holding James when they came to visit a couple of weeks ago.

This weekend my uncle Jeff is coming to visit. I am very exctied to see him! I am also going to go to my friend Hannah's birthday party. She is really old. She is three years old! I wanted to play with my cousin Evan some but he is really sick. My aunt Misty took him to the doctor and he has a virus which makes him run a fever. I hope he feels better and can play with me soon. Ok time to go take a nap. I'll write again soon. Love you all!
