I must say that it has been a long week for me. Wednesday night mommy and daddy took me to the airport late at night to surprise Grandma and Grandpa Hornig. I think they were pretty surprised too. It was exciting because not only because I got to meet my Grandma and Grandpa for the first time, but it was my first trip to the airport, and I know I have a few of those trips coming up. In a few months I will get to go on a plane!
Anyway, I enjoyed the time spent with Grandma and Grandpa. They took me shopping and bought me my Easter outfit, which I wore for pictures last night, along with a bunch of other outfits, and I now have my high chair! It looks like a neat high chair, but I will not be able to use it for awhile. We went out to dinner a few times, and one time, I even got to eat dinner at the restaurant at the table with everyone else. It was pretty dark and hot the whole time I was eating, but I was happy with the food. The rest of the dinner I think I slept through. I remember getting into the truck to go to dinner, but the next thing I remember, I was at home getting my diaper changed. I guess I kept falling asleep in the truck and staying asleep through dinner and until we got home.
Oh Friday Great Aunt Valerie showed up to visit. She spent a few hours here with us, and Grandma made some real good food called Sombrero's. I do not know if that is how you spell it or not, but it is really good! You may think that I did not get to taste it, but whatever mommy eats, I get to eat. You have to be careful whenever you eat that stuff though. Trust me, I know. So does mommy and daddy, I made sure of that.
Then on Saturday, daddy came up with a good idea to go and get pictures taken of all of us while Grandma and Grandpa were still in town. It must have been a good idea because just a few hours later and I was being put back into the truck again. Of course I fell asleep in the truck and did not wake up until we got back home. Everyone was telling me that I did real good for the pictures and that they turned out great. They finally showed me the proofs, and I think they are good, even if my eyes are closed.
On Sunday, Great Uncle Ran and, as she put it on the card, Greatest Aunt Sue came over to visit. That Ran guy was a little scary at first though. After he held me though, I realized that he was just a giant teddy bear that I could cuddle next to. I spent the majority of the time in Aunt Sue's arms. This is just the start, I will have her trained real good here shortly. Mommy and daddy said that we would see her at the end of the week and Sue said that that gives her a few days to go shopping again. She is almost trained after just one visit, just wait till after the next.
Monday night we went back to Sears for more pictures. This time I was awake the whole time though, and not happy with the service. Daddy made the appointment for 4:00 in the afternoon, and they finally came in to take the pictures at 4:45. I was as happy as could be until 4:30, and then I started to get mad that the service was taking so long. I tried to tell mom and dad to go somewhere else for pictures, but they just begged me to be a happy baby for 5 minutes. I stood strong with my thoughts, and refused to give them the happiness. Then mommy fed me, and that was it. That made me forget about everything. That is until they put me down in front of the light again. Daddy finally got smarter than me. He would hold me until I was happy, then real quick he would set me down. I never had a chance to cry, that flash came so quick and then daddy would pick me up again. That happened about three times, and I guess they got the pictures they needed.
As for big steps for me, today was the first time I had a meal out of a bottle. Daddy seemed real excited about that for some reason. I think he has been dying to feed me, but afraid to attach me to him. So he will get to bottle feed me I guess. I think I like the bottle a little better because I seem to get my food a little quicker. I think mommy likes the bottle better because it is easier to feed me at say, a restaurant.
This week is a little slower, at least until Wednesday. Mommy has to go to work for some important meeting, just for an hour or two though. It will be me and daddy bonding time for a little bit. Then when mommy gets home, I guess I will be getting my first road trip. They say we are going to Grandma and Grandpa Sachau's house in Camarillo. Apparently there is going to be a bunch of people up there that I have to meet. I will also get to see Uncle Ran and Aunt Sue again, plus meet my Uncle Matt and Aunt Lauren. I here when Aunt Lauren picks me up it is all over for me. I guess she can not wait to meet me and is going to have a hard time putting me down. All well, I am a survivor!
