My Day with Grandma Petersen

Mommy went to school for the first day of TAG on Sept 10 and so Grandma Petersen came down to take care of me for the day. She spent the night on Wednesday and then got up as mom and dad were getting ready for school on Thursday. Grandma held me as mom headed out the door and mom kissed me at least 5 times. yuck!
After both mom and dad were gone she changed my dirty diaper and then I ate for 15 min. I slept for a while in my swing and then grandma carried and rocked me in her arms and I would tease her. I would close my eyes for a while, then when she really thought I was asleep, I'd pop them open and she'd keep walking and rocking me. :-) I do that with mommy too. :-)
She finally got me asleep after I ate a bit more at 10:30 and man was I hungry. She changed my diaper again and I slept on my lounger from 11-2:00. I slept a long time, but not long enough, grandma didn't get my curtains done while I napped. She figured out she needed more fabric for the valances and really hopes that the store still has the same fabric.
I was hungry again so she got out my mommy milk and when she was warming it up under the water it started to leak, then she opened the bottom of the bottle by mistake and spilled it! I only got an ounce and a half. So she had to go get some of my frozen mommy milk to make up for it. Oh well. It still tasted good. I played with the bottle for about an hour until mommy got home and Grandma headed home to pack for Spencer and get some sleep before work in the morning.
It was a great day, I can't wait until she comes back when mommy goes to work for real on Oct 15.

Spencer Fair!

We went to Spencer Sept 11-13 and it was a lot of fun for fair and chuckwagon races. We stayed at the cabin again in Ruthven, just the bottom half this year. The major drawback to that was that the thermostat is upstairs and the people above us both days (2 sets of people) like it cold. SO... that meant we froze downstairs. :-) The first set of people were nice and turned it down for us in account for me... but the second set we never saw or talked to, we woke up quite chilly throughout the night. Mom and dad kept me quite bundled inbetween feedings.

We went on our annual walk again, through the woods and up the big hill. We took a family picture at the top, (you can see the hill in the background).

Sunday at the races we decided to take a family picture with the wagon. Don't I look sharp!

June has two non-traditional horses for her gray powderpuff wagon. :-) (Danny always has black horses, but this year also has a set of grays) She has Hank- a sorro and Silver is a gray. So Scott and Stan were helping move the wagon for hitching and since they were dressed so similarly (shirt colors), we took a pic of them being her horses. :-) FUNNY! They were even on the correct side of the hitch. :-)

Rub a dub dub

I hated sponge baths, but I LOVE water baths.
:-) Here I am in my whale tub from Great Aunt Doreen. How ironic, but appropriate for a guy with my name.

Labor Day Weekend

We went to visit up north over the labor day weekend and had a lot of firsts.
I went to the campground for the first time. I hung out with family friends, had my picture taken with my "twin" (grandpa petersen), and slept a lot on his tummy.

We spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa Meyer both Saturday and Sunday nights. We went to my first Chuckwagon Races of my born life (mommy says I've been to a few in her tummy).
I don't know what everyone gets all jumpy about, I slept right through most of them. :-) Mommy got to see most of the Nashua races the first day, but day 2 she missed June's race because I was hungry. I didn't know....

After the weekend I was pretty wore out and "overstimulated" as there were many hands on me and my schedule was totally out of wack. However, I recovered by mid week and then we went to Spencer!

I know many of you have been chomping at the bit for new posts, they are coming soon... I have about 5 that I want to get on here, so hopefully today or tomorrow I can get some pics, and info about our past few weeks on here. They'll all come at once, so be sure to scroll down to get all the info. :-)

Sleeping Beauty

Last night we had a GREAT nights sleep. He was a little fussy at the start, but dad rocked him to sleep around 10 and then he slept till 1, then 4:30, then 6:30. So 3, 3, 2 hrs stretches. He's been napping a lot again today, a good 45 min nap about an hour after he got up and now again from 10:30-still sleeping (1pm). He slept right through my chiro appointment, which was great. It was a MUCH needed appointment. I've been getting headaches, just a changaroo from carrying him in front of me to carrying a car seat to the side and lifting/setting him down all the time. We'll go back again next week just to make sure we are still in place. :-)

Have a great weekend everyone! We'll be back Sat-Mon. I'll bring Jonah to the campgrounds on Saturday while Josh shingles his dad's garage. The the races on Sun and Monday. Jonah might even get to go on his first ever Grandpa Kraft wagon ride. Should be a fun weekend!

Mom's new ride!

We brought home a 2007 Yukon SLT last night. We (I) was able to haggle them down to our price point. It blue-booked for about 31K and we got it for 25,500. It is funny how you can get what you want from a car salesman when you say "NO" multiple times. It was also in our favor that it was the last day of the month and that we were buying a GMC at a Nissan dealership. We were also buying it with no trade in, so they wouldn't have to get rid of ours again. They apparently really love to meet their 'car goal' for the month and will do just about anything to get one sold. :-)

So the ride is pretty nice, we'll bring it home this weekend to test out our room and such. See you all soon.
