"Lieutenant Dan...ice cream!"
Another busy weekend for me...let me just say that I am getting used to looking out the window of my mom's car!
On Saturday, we drove to Mascoutah, IL so that Mommy and I could go to Susan's shower. Susan and Mauri went to Hawaii with Mommy and Daddy when I was a bun in the oven "baking." I distinctly remember making Mommy feel sick after she, Daddy, Susan and Mauri took a helicopter ride over the active volcano. (Hello, I was getting motion-sickness up there!) Anyway, Susan got lots of cool stuff and I cut Mommy a break and did not cry or throw a fit the entire shower.
On Sunday, we had lunch with Mommy's friend Jackie. She is a Lieutenant in the Navy and was in St. Louis this weekend for an air show. Jackie can land planes on giant ships that are in the ocean. Can you believe that? How cool! Check out pics of me with Lieutenant Jackie, one of the Navy planes and ordinary Mommy. Ha!

da-da
Carson said it! He spent all weekend working on his "Ds" - deddee, didididi, daudaudau, etc. But this morning, he managed to blurt out "Da-Da" with a smile. Of course he has yet to associate his daddy with his new-found word, but it's adorable none the less.
Today's performance is one for the baby book. (This is assuming I ever get around to writing things in his book. It's completely empty at the moment!)

Taking One for the Team
(I originally titled this post "Puke" but now think the above is more appropriate.)
My husband is at the Cardinal game tonight. I just sent him this:
You are really missing out - Carson just projectile puked the equivalent of 2 milk jugs. This is just as I was about to put him to bed for the night. He soiled all of my clothes down to my underwear, his pjs, and the chair and rug in his room. The rug is actually ruined because of the large orange stain. I had to put Carson back in the tub to clean him up, all while I was half-naked because my clothes were literally dripping of puke and are now in a pile on the floor. And then I had to line the rocking chair with bath towels because the entire seat cushion was covered in barf, and I needed some place to rock our dazed and confused son (after he had barfed up his entire body weight, of course!). Oh, and before I put him in the bath for the second time tonight, I had to run downstairs to make him a Pedialyte bottle....you can trace my steps when you get home. Just follow the barf foot-prints.
Now I'm about to get in the shower because every inch of me SMELLS LIKE PUKE. Who's winning?

Hiatus
It's really hard to blog when you have the stomach flu. It's even harder to blog when you've passed the bug on to your hubby and your baby! Nate had it Sunday night. I was glued to the porcelain God all day Sunday and Monday, and just as I was about to walk out the door this morning for work, Carson puked all over the place.
Lovely.
Lovely.

Let the games begin.
Hoop games, that is. Nate will make sure Carson has his jump shot mastered shortly after he learns to walk.

Funny Bone
Carson has found his. See for yourself. (And I'm not tickling him; I'm making funny faces!)

My First Easter
We were so busy this weekend...
Mommy, Aunt Carrie and I went shopping on Friday for Aunt Melissa's shower. (We didn't really buy any food that I could eat, but the chicken salad croissants did look yummy!) While we were at Sam's some lady came up to me to "check me out" -- she said that Mommy and Aunt Carrie were having way too much fun with me and she had to see what I looked like. I got her to smile back at me by flashing a toothless grin!
Saturday was a loooong day. I decided not to take much of a nap in the morning while Mommy was getting ready for the shower. And I stayed up all afternoon while all of those women were at my house. I finally crashed around 3:30p and didn't get up for 3 hours. Anyway, I hope you liked all of your gifts, Melissa. I really loved playing with the wrapping paper!
Mommy put me in plaid on Sunday. Come on, plaid? Not very manly, Mommy! We went to church and then to Grandma's house for dinner. And by the way, I was very "active" the entire church service. Mommy and Daddy now know that I like to "sing" along, too.
Needless to say, my first Easter weekend was a success!

Show me the money!
Gotta love Jerry Maguire, although I can't stand to look at Renee Zellweger. Are her eyes open or closed? I can't tell. Anyway, check out my pics from Sunday's trip to Nate's office:
