Riley Has the FLU!!!!

Riley has been really sick the last couple of days. She started feeling sick when she came back from GG's with Gram and Poppy. Mommy said that she doesn't think that she got sick with them, but that she picked the flu up somewhere and no one could say exactly where. On Sunday she was running a fever of 103 and was coughing and had a runny nose. Mommy made me stay away from her. I don't like having to be away from her she is a lot of fun to watch. She is always dancing around and doing crazy stuff. Mommy says that one day she will make me laugh. She is also always very loving and caring. She wants to give me kisses and hugs all of the time. She even puts my paci back in my mouth and tells me that it will be okay. She is a great big sister, I don't think that I could have ordered a better one.

She finally went to the doctor's office on Tues and saw Dr. Howell. She is so lucky. Mommy and Daddy did not let me go in. They said something about not wanting me to get sick. I was just there on Friday did they not think about that then before they made me go get all of those shots. While she was there Daddy said she was really good and that she got some test done. They said she tested positive for the Type A flu whatever that means. All I know is that she is sick.

We have had to sit around at home for three days straight. Mommy says that we do not want to get anyone else sick. She said that maybe we can go back to the Y on Friday. Mommy just wants to give it one more day to make sure that Riley doesn't get anyone else sick.

She is feeling better now and Mommy said that she is not contageous any more. I am excited because that mean that I get my hugs and kisses back.

IU Game

Oh how exciting Mommy and Daddy took me to my first IU game on Saturday the 7th. We had so much fun. Daddy carried me around in the Baby Bjorin. He even took me in the the men's restroom, but he said I had to close my eyes. It was such a nice day. Mommy was even concerned that I might get too much sun. Daddy was so excited to introduce me to a real football game. I have watched them on the TV with him, but this was really there right infront of me.

The game was pretty good. IU lost, but Daddy said that that happens all of the time and that I should get used to it for a while. Daddy said that it is okay to still be an IU fan and that we have to stick with them during the tough years.

I can't wait to go to my first real IU basketball game.

Two Month Check Up

I went for my two month check up last Friday the 6th. We had to wait an hour and 1/2 to see the doctor. That was a long time for Riley and I . Mommy said that we were really good to wait that long to see the doctor. Riley just played and I sat in the carseat carrier until I was too hungry and had to eat. Riley told me that I will learn that whenever mommy pulls out that pretty cloth it means it is time to eat. That is pretty exciting considering that is what I like to do most. I mean you can tell that I like to eat because I was 13 pounds even and 23 inches. Riley was only 11 pounds 11 ounces at her 2 month check up. Looks like I have her beat. Mommy says that it is not a competition and that I need to stop getting so big so fast. She had a tear in her eye when she said that so I think that she is sad that I have gotten so big and that I am already growing out of being her little baby. I have to grow up mommy you can always have another baby if you want to. The doctor said that I looked good. I just love Dr. Howell. She is so nice and always takes such good care of me.

Riley got three suckers on the way out. Mommy didn't get any for me. I mean I thought I was really good too. I mean I am the one that got all the shots and that stuff put in my mouth. I didn't see Riley have anything done to her. The world of injustice just keeps going.

I am starting to do so much. I smiled really big at mommy the other day. She just loves it when I do that, but I have not done it much. She told me that she can't wait until I smile all of the time. I am also starting to make a lot of noises. No not the ones coming from my butt, other ones, like little coos and ahhhhs. Mommy just loves it when I do that and Riley thinks that I am talking to her.

Keep checking up on me to see what I have been doing.

Two Months and Other Happenings

I am two months old now and I really look the part. Mommy keeps telling people that I am big. I mean I don't think I am that big. Riley is still bigger than me. It has been an exciting two months. I always have visitors and I am always on the go.

Mommy and Riley went to get a hair cut today. Mommy said that she was going to shave my head so that my hair would really start to grow. I don't think that that makes much sense. She didn't really do it and I am glad. Mommy and Riley both did a good job sitting still in the chair. Daddy came to the event as well. I will share a picture of Riley with her new hair cut. She is so cute. Mommy is too.

Mommy, Daddy, and Riley also went and got shots today. Mommy said she got hers for me because I can't get one. She said that Daddy was scared to get one, but he got it for me too. It is really nice of them to get shots for me. I know how much they hurt.

I go for my kidney test tomorrow morning. I am not nervous for the test I just want to know the results. I don't want to have another UTI. I don't want to have to take medicine everyday either because mommy will probably forget to give it to me some days. That is what will happen if I have this urinary reflux thing.

I also go to the doctor on Friday. I will have to give you my current stats after that. Mommy thinks that I will be well over 12 pounds and on my way to 13. She also thinks that I am about 22 inches long. Hey I am a growing girl. We will see if she is any where close.

Sorry that I didn't get my two month pictures up yesterday, mommy was too tired to let me on the computer.

Crabby Night

I am having a really crabby night tonight. I don't really know why. Maybe I am upset that I will already be two months old tomorrow. Mommy is not even going to celebrate with me tomorrow night. She is going to have people over, but I not invited to the party. She told me that it is not a party that it is Bunco, but I don't believe her. I think that she is having a party without me. I am mad. Maybe that is why I can't stop crying.

Or maybe I am hungry. I mean I just ate an hour ago but sometimes a girl just has to eat more. I mean it is not like I have to watch my figure. Everyone says that chubby babies are the cutest and that is what I am going for cute!

Or maybe it is that I have not pooped since last Wednesday. Mommy read in the books and they say that is normal and so did the doctor. But really that is a long time.

Or maybe it is just because I have gas.

I just hope that I stop crying soon. I know that it is hard on mommy and daddy. Don't worry Riley is okay she just sleeps right through it. And Wrigley just lays around like usual.

My First Halloween

Well I enjoyed my first Halloween. Everyone came to see Riley and I. Grandma came all the way down just to see us go Trick or Treating. Uncle Tim and Aunt Cindy came over and brought us presents. Then Uncle Kevin, Aunt Kristie, and Tyler came and they passed out candy while we walked around. Then Gram and Poppy came just after we got back from getting candy. Now that I think about it I did not get any candy. They let Riley walk up to people and get candy, but I didn't get any. Things are going to have to change next year. I guess I better be walking by Halloween if I want to go up to door and get candy.

I dressed up as a pea pod. Mommy borrowed the costume from Annabelle and Ander. Riley was Minnie Mouse. She was so cute, but of course I was too.

We also carved pumpkins. Mine said my name. Well short for my name Luci. Riley's was Minnie Mouse, how appropriate. Mommy's was Dora, I think she did that for Riley. Daddy's was just a Jack o' Lantern face.

I had a good first Halloween, but I bet next year will be even better. I wonder what I will be.
