And when I say busy, I mean BUSY!
My week began with a Super Bowl Sunday party at my friend Bella's house! There were so many toys and kids to play with that I was overwhelmed with excitement. I really enjoyed watching Bella crawl around, and can't wait till I can move! While daddy watched the game, mom, who insisted that football season ended 2 weeks ago, and I got to hang out with everyone. Gensesis, another friend of mine, was there and she was really nice to me. I hope to be just like her when I grow up!
On the way home from Bella's house I passed out from all the excitement. When I woke up on Monday morning I felt a little icky and didn't know why I was having trouble breathing. Mom informed me that I was experiencing my first cold. I don't know about any of you, but I sure don't like this cold stuff. My nose was really runny and I had a pretty bad cough. To err on the side of caution mom took me to see my doctor. As she had guessed they confirmed that I had a cold in about 2 minutes and told her to come back if it got worse. As we walked out mom and I were lamenting the trip to the doctor, but mom said it was worth the drive to find out that I had gained a whole pound in the last 2 weeks! Can you believe that I now weigh 14lbs!!! I guess my love for food and bottles is paying off!
I am really having fun eating at dinner time. Jax has started to sit next to me when I eat, and he even sneaks some off of my hands from time to time.
Dad showed off his man talents this week by putting together my new big-girl crib. After mom arranged the bedding Grandma Frankwick had given me I was allowed to sleep in it. I like it a lot better than my bassinet because Josh gets to sleep with me.
I still wake up every morning with a big smile on my face (even when I have a yucky cold)
Mom and I went to San Diego to see Autumn this week. After mom got her hair cut I got to get mine done! I really enjoyed sitting in the big girl chair, and Autmun said I am going to be a great client. She even put my hair in some tin foil for mom to take home; I sure thought that was silly, but mom is a little sentimental - she doesn't want the word to get out so don't let her know I told you.
On Friday we drove to Temecula for the wedding rehersal of Frank and Diane. They are good friends of mommy and daddy's, and mommy got to be part of the wedding! I got to help mom learn how to walk down the aisle and afterwards we went to celebrate at dinner. I got to wear my new red dress which I loved. In the picture it even matches my eyes. He He He

Because I had been such a good girl mom bought me a DVD player so I could watch my sign language video during dinner. I sure had the set-up!
We had a fun evening and everyone I met was really nice to me. After dinner we drove down to Grandpa Schafer's house in Jamul to stay the night. Despite all of mom's efforts I still had an icky cold and had trouble sleeping. I guess that I was snoring so loud that she couldn't sleep either. Two hours of sleep was all that I had in me, and at 3am I decided it was time to get up. It didn't take mom long to answer my screams since the garbage disposal sound of my breathing had kept her from really falling sleep. We made our way to the family room and mom put my movie on the big screen. I sat up and laughed as mom, half-asleep, tried to play with me. Around 5am she got up, turned off my movie, went into the bedroom, and returned with an amazing new toy. Grandpa and Debbie had bought it for me, and I am sure glad they did because it is AWESOME!!!The house kept me occupied for a couple more hours while mom gave in to two of her addictions: red bull and re-runs of America's Next Top Model (another secret you CANNOT let her know I shared with you). I finally dozed off to sleep as Grandpa got up, and hung out with him while mom got ready for the wedding. We arrived in Temecula in the early afternoon and met auntie Andrea who drove with us to the winery. Dad showed up a little while later looking as handsome as ever and I changed into my wedding attire so that he could escort me to the ceremony.
It was fun watching mom walk down the aisle in her pretty dress, but I really loved watching Diane come out of the Bentley in her beautiful gown. The ceremony was nice, and I got really excited when they released the butterflies!!! As the reception began dad and I mingled with the crowd and I loved all the attention. People were gushing over my adorable Burberry Coat, and I have to say that I did look great!!
When the wedding was over we drove back down to Grandpa's exhausted, and all 3 of us crashed out when we got there. In the morning mom made me a big bottle and for the first time ever let me feed myself!!!
In the mid morning Great Grandma Schafer, Cousin Brandon, and Aunt Connie came over the see me. We had lots of fun laughing at one another, and I thoroughly enjoyed showing off my new talents for them. While mom was off doing what ever she does in the kitchen Great Grandma Jean (Schafer) and I participated in some shenanagins of our own:
The busy week, combined with my cold, left me worn out. Mom tells me that there will be some down-time in the next couple of weeks, but I am finally recovering from my cold and am looking forward to creating some mischeif...
