Little J and I

Grandma and Grandpa took us to see fireworks in San Francisco. It was pretty spectacular and noisy but I got fell asleep before it was over. We stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn. It was my first time staying in a hotel and I kind of liked that. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." - Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President (from the United States Declaration of Independence)

I had my first illness this week. Something called Rotavirus. Fever, diarrhea, and a very sore butt. On top of that I had to go to the emergency room and spend five hours there with Mom and Grandma. Grandma took me there because she thought she caused my illness from taking me swimming. She's off the hook. It's just a germ I picked up somewhere... one of many yet to come while I build up my immunity. I'm finally feeling better and drinking formula again instead of that Pedialyte.

I went to visit Grandma and Grandpa. First of all I had a discussion with Uncle Keith about my situation. Then I had a little bath with Grandpa. Then Grandma and I sat in her comfy chair and read to each other. I kind of like that liberal magazine that Grandma reads. Auntie Marilyn came to visit too. And finally Grandma took me in the pool. It was quite a day and I really pooped after all that. Oops I mean I am really pooped after all that.

This is me lounging around in Grandma & Grandpa's big bed. I do enjoy a good book before I go to bed.

I'll be 4 months old this Saturday. Lately I've been entertaining everyone with lots of giggles. They discovered that I'm ticklish under my arms. I can roll over and scoot all around my bed. I get lots of exercise doing mini-pushups. Sunday we went to Bella Roma Pizzeria and I was fascinated by the lights and pipe organ. Daddy is teaching me to be an abecedarian.

I've been busy lately. Growing to 15 pounds and outgrowing my size six month clothes. I'm only 3 months old but I can be a handful. But, I sleep well at night. Last night I stayed with Grandma and Grandpa and I let them sleep for 10 hours. Mostly I just enjoy lots of attention, walks in the stroller and rides in the car.

Yesterday I visited with both grandmas. I spent the night with Grandma & Grandpa. We had a busy day today, strolling around town, shopping and taking Daddy to his doctors appointment. We had a picnic lunch too but I slept through it all. Daddy is taking care of me tonight because Mommy needed a break so it's gonna be a father/son evening.
