Best Mommy Ever!

Happy Mother's Day Mommy!
I love you sooooooooooooo much!



Well, today was Mommy's day, and I got to spend my day with the bestest mommy ever, and some of my grandma's! I'll share some pictures and words on that momentarily, but first, a recap of my week!


Just being cute...I mean handsome


Does it look like I'm about to be thrown to the wolves?


Here they come! 2 against 1!

I got to spend a lot of time with my cousins this week. On Tuesday, we went to Auntie Jess's for dinner with Mimi and Papa and I got to play with Eden and Emma while mommy went to softball. It's hard to describe it as playing cause those girls can be overwhelming, but I had a lot of fun. Just wait til I learn how to crawl!

On Wednesday, mommy and daddy took me to Everett to celebrate Great Papa's birthday. We went to Giorgio's, which by all accounts is one of my favorite restaurants. The food and the company were as good as usual, and the odd event of the evening had to be the random gathering of weird individuals in the banquet room. Daddy wouldn't explain why it was funny, but he assured me it was.

Vroom!

Shhhh! Concentrating on my driving!

Mommy WOW! I'm a big kid now!

On Friday, mommy and daddy decided to go to the casino with Mimi and Papa, so I got to go see my cousins again (under the strict supervision of Auntie Jess and Uncle Josh, of course). Those girls were every bit as agressive as Wednesday, but I showed them who's boss by trying to take a bite out of Eden's head! She's lucky I don't have teeth yet.

"Wanna play cars?"

I was very excited to cuddle with Mommy that night!

The weekend was a blur of excitement. On Saturday, I went to a baby shower for my friend Reese's mommy. The whole concept of baby showers is lost on me, but maybe that's just because I don't understand why they call it a "shower". Oh well, I got to see Reese, and her soon-to-be baby brother (my future buddy) got lots of cool presents, so I won't ask questions.


Is the shower a Hawaiin theme?


I'm expecting a phone call

After the "shower", mommy took me home so that daddy could watch me while she went to try on dresses. Daddy also found enough bravery to watch my cousins at the same time, so we had a lot of fun challenging him! I don't have a picture of it, but I got my revenge by sitting on Eden!


Look at these arms!


Mom - I have an idea!


Oh no!

As you know, today was Mother's Day. I had quite the day planned for mommy, which started with me sleeping in while she got up and ate the breakfast that daddy made for her! We left the house pretty early, cause we had to get to Seattle to meet up with people for the Mariner's game. This was the 2nd year in a row that I took mommy to a Mariner game on Mother's day, although I was pretty small and still in mommy's tummy last year!


Sleeping in


Is my belly really that big?


On my way to the game

The baseball game was lots of fun, cause I got to see Mommy and Daddy, Mimi and Papa, Grammy and Dennis, Great Grandma and Grandpa Jerry, Auntie Shanlee and Uncle Will, and Auntie Jess and Uncle Josh, and of course my two favortist cousins in the whole world. The only thing that would have made the day better would have been seeing Grandma Lynnette too! That's ok though, mommy and daddy said we are going to see her soon!


Hey!


I'm a smiley boy!


Could my mouth BE any bigger??


I love mommy so much that I had a t-shirt made!


Now this was just goofy


And more goofy

You definitely can't tell from the pictures, but I didn't feel too hot most of the day today. I'm not sure if teething is really getting to me, or if there is something worse, but I have stretches where I just don't feel very good, so mommy and daddy are going to take me to see my friend, Dr. Bischoff, tomorrow. Don't worry though - overall I feel ok. I've just had a bad cough, some digestive issues, and a severe case of the cranky pants!

Grammy and I were talking about why the Mariner's On Base Percentage is so low this year

Well, speaking of not feeling good, I definitely need to get to bed. I can't do that though without telling everyone that I think, no, I KNOW that I have the greatest mommy in the whole wide world. The whole universe even. I never thought I could be so happy by just looking at or being around one person, but mommy does that to me. Her cuddles are worth all of the money in the world, and in 5 short months, she has proven to me that she loves me more than I thought possible. She has some great influences in my grandmothers, and I'm so happy about that.

Mommy - Thank you for everything you do! I love you more than all of the puppy dogs, rainbows, and smiles in the world, combined!


Dinner with Mimi


Looks like trouble, right?
