Sleepy Bumbo

A good week, and a post inspired by the video Mommy captured Friday. Guess we'll start there...

(LEFT: a "one-of-a-kind" onesie... man, I can't wait to meet this guy, I look at pictures and videos every week! ;-)


Friday, Mommy had a bunch of ladies over for Bunco (a dice game) and Daddy and I went to hang out at Clint's house. BUT, before the party started Mommy was getting ready for it and I refused to take a nap even though Mommy kept telling me I should and tried every place in our house to make me happy. Finally, she let me sit in the Bumbo to watch her fixin food. After I continually gagged myself on my baby spoon, Mommy gave me a big wooden one to gum and before I knew it, I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer...


This week, Mommy had to work a crazy schedule consisting of mostly mornings. She said she had to help the kids with some testing at school. Anyway, I spent the entire week at Ms. Maureens and refused to take a nap at all! Guess the messed up schedule made me worry that I was going to miss something! The good thing about Maureens now is that I am the only kid. This means that I get to go for walks almost every day!


The weekend was spent hanging out mostly. Saturday we checked out a new mall in Bury. It was GREAT to have some new stores nice and close to us now. The down-side is that it is an outdoor mall... why they would build a mall outside in England is not understood by me, but luckily it was a relatively nice day. Mommy even let me ride around in my stroller with only my storller blankie (see picture) and I was very happy and chatty most of the day.
Sunday we worked on chores... I was not amused and spent the day fussing/ crying to keep Mommy's attention - oh, I refused to take a nap then too. I was ready for bed by 6 though - even though I fought hard and kept my eyes pried open for Mommy time until 8.






It was actually nice enough this weekend that Mommy let me hang out in ONLY a onesie while I watched Daddy clean carpets!

That is about the extent of our excitement here. Oh, Daddy got a new co-worker and although we have yet to meet, we are excited for him to become trained so Daddy doesn't have to be gone so much... speaking of, he is off to Germany again for a few days this week.

Mommy loves watching me play with my feet... she took TONS of these pics!

I leave you this week with another "one-of-a-kind" onsie. He is coming to visit me in 3 short weeks and I am SOOOO excited!!!!

Love, Madelyn et.al.

Miss Maddy--you need to learn to appreciate your nap time. Auntie would give anything to be able to take a nap with you! You look so tired in the video! You are only 4 months old and should be sleeping more. Hopefully your schedule will be better this week and you will get some rest.

Glad to hear that the weather there is getting better too. I hope you like you new warm weather clothes I am sending! I don't usually like shopping, but manage to find great deals for you!

Hugs and Kisses!
