Earnin' My Keep

Mommy says we have to stay home again tomorrow  so I figured I better start earning my keep if mommy has to keep missing work.  I started on the floors but decided some of my toys needed a little cleaning too.

2 Things

I'm still really sick :( But after my bath tonight I was getting ready for night night time and I grabbed the 2 necessities for being sick; my thermometer and the remote.  Mommy keeps putting the thermometer on my head but I was showing her that it's supposed to go in your mouth.  I really hope I feel better by tomorrow.

Uh-Oh Spaghetti O's

I tried spaghetti o's this weekend and I'm not sure what all the fuss is about.  Although I did find that the sauce made a great self tanner and at one point poppa yelled "oh no,you turned into an oompa loompa" momma just laughed like usual.  She loves when I get messy, especially around poppa she says the messier the better.

Happy Poppa's Day Poppa!!!

Today was Poppa's special day so I decided to make  him a pretty picture with mommy's help.  He loved it and he kept commenting on how proud he was of my handwriting (shhh don't tell him but mommy wrote it with her left hand while I told her what I wanted it to say.) I also got him 2 new shirts so he can look handsome like me.  Mommy got him some cowboy beer holster thing that I don't really think he liked so looks like this father's day it is Augie 1 Mommy 0.  We had big plans for today but when I woke up from my nap I was really hot and didn't feel good.  I mustered up enough strength to help him open his gifts but after that I couldn't fake it.  I had a 103 temp and ended up having to go to the Dr's and get a BIG shot in each leg, I was brave but it really hurt. So sorry poppa for being sick on your special day, I had a lot of fun cuddling with you today.  I love you,you are the best poppa ever!!!!

Cake Eating Maniac

I loved my birthday cake all 3 times, I also love to hum while I eat.  I recommend everyone try it, it makes everything taste better. I also got to try this cold stuff called Sherbert it was delish it felt great on my new teeth.  Did I tell you that I got 2 front top teeth for my birthday too!! I got sooooo many presents and love them all (I think mommy loves the clothes more than I do, but that's ok)  Also I'm not complaining but I don't think they (mommy & poppa) bought me any presents for my birthday!  I think they think that because I got so much other stuff that I wouldn't notice, maybe they haven't caught on to how observant I am.  But it's fine because they through me the best birthday ever and buy me things all the time.  What do you think they will do for my 2nd birthday? They have to top this year, right?

My Birthday Week

I had a crazy busy week and did I mention it was my birthday week!!Mommy likes to celebrate birthday week and I think I like this tradition.  Well to kick off birthday week I had a HUGE party it was so much fun.  Alot of people came and mommy even invited Erin (the world's greatest photographer) to come take my picture.  I had a lot  of friends at my party and there was one sticky situation because both of my girlfriends showed up Isabel and Annabel, but they got along really well and lets face it we're still young we need to keep our options open.  Today at school was a sad day it was my last day as a bumblebee and starting monday I go to a new class with new teachers.  My teachers threw me a birthday party and even sent Mommy the picture of me eating my cupcake, did I mention that I L-O-V-E this cake thing? Mommy made me a cake and I ate all that she gave me, Poppa tried to steel some and I didn't want to share.  I shared with Mommy though but only if I could feed her, I think it's really funny to put a piece in my mouth and then give it to her, she likes my sharing technique.  This birthday thing is great and I can't wait for my next one!

Happy Birthday Augie

(It's mommy talking)

To my sweet baby boy on his first birthday,

  My dear Augie I can't believe you are 1, I dreamed about you  my whole entire life and now after just one short year you already have been more amazing than I ever imagined.  It feels like yesterday I was sitting with you in your room for the first time just staring at you and thinking that I would have to give you back at some point, but you looked into my eyes and I knew that you were mine.  Poppa and I held you everyday all day and people would say that I was spoiling you but I always said that I would hold you for as long as you would let me.  And we're still holding you now, you are the most loveable,huggable, cuddle-bug ever and I hope that never changes.  Everywhere we go someone always comments how you should be carrying me and I hope you always know that wherever you go no matter how big you get poppa and I will always carry you in our hearts,in our arms and in our soul.  You have completed us with your laughs,smiles,temper and just sheer joy that you bring us.

  There is so much that I want to say to you and I find myself fumbling to find the words because what I want to say isn't one specific word it is a feeling.  I am so blessed and honored to be your mommy and I love being with you and playing with you and dancing with you.  My life has purpose and meaning with you in it and I'm not sure what my life was before you.  And now here you are a 1 year old already!! You're still not sleeping through the night but it's ok, to be honest I don't mind at all because I miss you so much and the night is just too long.  I'm sure your sleeping habits can be easily blamed on poppa and I.  We still check in on you about 8 times a piece before we go to bed and we can't resist the Augie hold when you wrap both your arms around our neck and bury your forehead into ours.

 So Happy Birthday Augie I wish you everything in the world and will forever be here behind you,supporting you,holding you and most of all loving you for all of the years of your life.

All my love,

 Mommy

Stay Tuned

Mommy was so busy with party planning that she forgot to take any pictures. We are patiently waiting so here is one I hijacked from Annabel's blog.  (Make sure to check it out she has some really good ones!)

It's Official!!!!

I'm So Sleepy

All week long mommy's said I've graduated to "monster status" and let me tell you that I have been earning it! I've been a mad man working on my mobility and I started the transition process at school, plus mommy had yet another disaster at work so I'm just really tired.
