Do I Act Sick?

While Mommy's getting my next Adventures at Granny's blog entry ready, I wanted to go ahead and share what we did this weekend.

As you all remember, a few months ago I started pulling myself up to a standing position for the first time in a hamper. Well, that hamper has now collapsed and is pretty much useless so it's time to throw it away. Mommy's sad to see it go.

Eating Mum-Mums while playing with it one last time.

One final ride for ole' times sake.

That was so much fun - I'm gonna miss you Mr. Hamper!

"Do we really have to throw it away?"

"Maybe we could just keep it around as a toy for my amusement."

Hence the reason why we have to throw it away. Wonder how it got broken like this? Surely it wasn't me?

"Can we keep it, Mommy?"

"I promise I'll take care of it, feed it...take it for walks...ride in it..."

"C'mon...it's only slightly broken at the bottom."

"Why don't you love me Mommy?"

At that moment, Mommy realized something...Stop the Presses!

This isn't the hamper I stood up in for the first time all those months ago. Here's proof. See - the sides are much fatter. Also, notice how small I am - I could totally fit in it.

Yipppeee!!! We get to keep it!

Note From Mommy: Don't tell Luke but we are still throwing it away. He likes to gnaw on the sides and we're afraid he'll chew off one of the already-broken pieces. He's a wild man! I'm just glad it's not the one he stood up in for the first time - now I don't feel so sappy throwing it away.

Ok - Mommy's blog hijack over. Carry on.

So, I've been feeling a little yucky - snotty, coughing, generally just a big crank. I don't like to eat anything but snacks, so just to get me to eat something Mommy gave me one of my Apple Wheels for breakfast.

It feels good on my gums - its a tasty teether.

Whoops - I slobbered some of it out.

Giving my weasel face:

Singing Broadway show tunes....

My tiger face. RAWR!

What???? I really HAVE been good all year...(it's only March).

Mommy says I get my temper from her. This is a face she makes all the time at us boys.

When are the birds coming out? We have food out there for them!

"No Mommy, that's not my smudge on the left of the window. No, I didnt push my mouth against it and go back and forth licking the window."

Ok, now we've moved into the "Do I Act Sick" portion of our blog. My girlfriend Lacey has RSV so Mommy was convinced I had it now too. She even looked it up on WebMD (shut up Sheri - I know Mommy's a freak) and I had all the symptoms - so off to the ER we go.

We ended up at Women & Children's since the wait at Urgent Care was several HOURS and Lord only knows what I could get into inside an ER waiting room for that long. Daddy brought a Sudoku book to work on but I kept him busy all on my own.

"I'm hanging on to the car keys in case we need to make a quick getaway."

I was fine as long as Daddy was holding on to me. Mommy was too busy taking PICTURES!

"If I see just ONE needle...we're outta here!"

"Don't make me get all ROBIN on you."

I started to get a little antsy so luckily Mommy packed my favorite book.

If I could just see the Tiger, I'd feel much better.

OOOOH...Elephant - my next favorite animal sound.

Then we played peek-a-boo with the curtain.

"See Mommy...why can't you just relax and play like Daddy?"

Then Daddy did tricks with me to keep my mind off being sooooo sick.

"I don't think this is approved by the pediatrician, Daddy."

Do it again! Do it again!

The doctor came in and checked me and I was fine. Shocker.

"I know Mommy...you just wanted to make sure I was ok. I love you for that. But stay off of WebMd!"

"Told ya I wasn't sick Mommy!"

Well all that wore me OUT!

After we got back home, I assured Mr. Tie that I was ok and he didn't need to be worried.

"I know...but she was just making sure I was ok."

Showing Mr. Tie my room - in case he'd forgotten what it looked like.

Why is Daddy so tired? He's not the one who's chased ties all day long.

You guys know how much I love my Ming Ming duck from The Wonder Pets! She sings and dances. Well...I can now make her dance all by myself! I know how to push her toes and make her go! Check out my videos.

What a day!

So....Do I Act Sick?
