Busted!

Meet my friend Addison. This is her slapping me silly after seeing that post about Macy and me.



Psych! Funny though huh?

I think purple might be my color!

No you’re not seeing things...I’m a bit purple in the face. Over the weekend I developed a cold, an ear infection, and a case of thrush. They tell me thrush is a yeast infection in my mouth. Translation: itchy tongue. Boy does it feel good to rub my tongue on the roof of my mouth and between my gums. I’ve even figured out how to make some neat new sounds in the process!! What does this have to do with the purple mouth you ask? Well Mom has opted to use some granola naturo-treatment called Gentian Violet to get rid of the yeast. She gags me with a Qtip doused in the stuff every morning and boy is it messy! We’ve turned 2 bibs, some burp clothes, a blanket, Mom’s pj’s all purple. Oh, and Mom’s um...well you can imagine. The good news is after only 2 days I’m cured!! The bad news is I still have to sport the purple face and stain everything it touches for another week just to make sure it doesn’t come back.

I’m recovering nicely from my cold and ear infection too. We didn’t even know there was anything wrong with my ear until we saw Dr. Martin on Monday. He said that was a good sign and I probably wouldn’t even need antibiotics. Now if I could just get mom to stop sticking things up my nose I’d be good. One of them sprays this salty water up there and makes me choke while the other sucks my brains out. It really irks me.

By the way, I now weigh 15lbs 14oz!

Young love

Last week we celebrated my first major holiday, the 4th of July! We went over to Mom & Dad’s friends Mike & Melissa’s house for a barbecue. They have a 6-month old daughter named Macy and I must say, she’s pretty cute. And forward! The girl just couldn’t keep her hands off me but hey, what can I say? I admit I do feel a bit guilty being that I sort of have a thing going with my friend Addison but dang, that older woman thing really has it’s appeal!

Rockin’ & Rollin’

Well not rockin’ so much...yet.

So Mom’s been whining lately that I don’t get the point of tummy time so well. It just so happens that I find being on my belly quite relaxing and prefer to just take the opportunity to lay my head down and rest. She insists I should be trying to hold it up and build my neck muscles but what she doesn’t realize is that my neck gets plenty a work-out just from looking over her shoulder and playing on her chest!

Anyway... Last night Mom put me down for some tummy time (who came up with that silly name anyway?) and I decided to prove to her how strong I really was so I picked my head up and looked her right in the face. She was so excited she just had to get the camera of course which I thought was a great opportunity for a practical joke. So when she wasn’t looking I flopped over on my back. Ha! She was so surprised she screeched and squealed just like I do! I sure got her good. She liked my joke so much I did it over and over. Dad liked it too. And they think I’m the one that’s easily amused...
