Luna's Journal

8:51pm: Mom and Dad finally realized I have a new molar.

Today we went to the SteppingStone Theater and saw Anansi the Trickster Spider. I liked it. There were kids and singing and dancing. Unfortunately it was during my nap time.

Also, I stayed in my own bed until after 8 this morning.

7:01pm: I was dancing to "Girls on Film".

Now maybe Mommy will add Duran Duran to my iPod.

8:00pm: I eat cheese curds with ketchup.
Mom is horrified.

9:42am: I like grapes and brie more than goldfish.

11:47am: 730 pm - Mom and Dad are so boring, I fall asleep on Mom's lap.
830 pm - Dad wakes me up and I watch Moonlight with Mom while he brings in cider from the garage.
10 pm - I fall back asleep.
1145 pm - Dad is giggling so much he wakes me up and I come to sleep with Mom and Dad.
130 am - Apparently Uncle Andy gets sick.
230 am - Dad says I'm hogging the bed and Mom takes me back to my room.
830 am - Time to wake up!

3:09pm:

10:46am: Me and my watermelon

3:19pm: I went to the doctor today.
I didn't get a shot because they were out of Hep A.
I guess when I go back in 6 months I'll get it.
I am just over 23 pounds (I've been dieting lately).
I am just over 32 inches (anyone seen the movie 23?).
And I have an ear infection.
So we went home. I ate some Reece's cereal and peaches.
Then Mommy and I took the train to Walgreens. And then a bus to St. Kate's. And we walked through the lawn and found the library, and found the far corner of the library where Amanda is officing these days. And she showed me off. And we saw Francine. And then we walked to Brewberries. And there was an 11 week old baby there. And then we took the bus back to Walgreens. And Mommy got my PINK medicine. And I found a 5 year old boy and he took me to the toy aisle. And then Mommy took me back to the train. And I was tired so I wouldn't let go of Mommy and she had to carry me home. And then I took a nap and Mommy ate a chocolate covered banana.

1:23pm: This morning Daddy woke me up. I ate toast and water for breakfast with Mommy, and gave my peaches to Baby Sarah. Then Daddy put Henrietta in a box and we went outside and put it in a hole. Then I got dressed in my gray dress with the ruffles and tights. Oma and Granny came and I got in the car and we went to church. Oma left me in a room with kids and toya. I was very busy and had lots to show when Oma came back to get me. Then I came home. Daddy was in bed. I ate yogurt and a sandwich and changed clothes. Now I'm tired.

7:28pm: Today I was designated as a TODDLER, while Connor (who is a month younger than I) is still a BABY. I am still too young for the photo contests Mom found recently, so her hopes for fame in my younger years are still on my Proex picture. When I am older I will astound people with my wisdom in ADDITION to my looks.

Last night I had a sleepover at Grandpa and Grandma's house. First we went to Target so I could have my own mattress to sleep on.

Now I'm waiting for Oma to come over and play with me. She's been away for 2 weeks.

10:48pm: Yesterday, Dawn took mom and I to meet a family with FIVE kids. I had a good time. We went in the pool. And mom brought home a bunch of shoes for summer and fall for me.

Today Dad said to mom and Sam as we were leaving not to let me drown. Then we drove to Sam's parent's cabin and hung out until John and Deb came. Then we went to check out the boat. I was walking on the dock and then stepped - and there wasn't either dock or boat - and John must be super-fast since he grabbed my hands as I fell. Then I was a bit squished between the dock and the boat. It was scary. And then I was free. And then mom took off my muddy shorts and shoes and took me to the cabin but I just wanted to hold her and not be washed. So I bled all over mom's shirt. And then when I was better we took off the rest of my clothes and I wore a swimmy diaper. And after a bit I put on my life jacket and we went on the boat for a ride. And then more people came INCLUDING STUART and we drove around the lake and people swam and I waded a bit but I didn't like it. And I took a nap. And we went back to the cabin and mom made me eat ravioli and then John and Deb drove and I napped and we came home. And then dad came home and I cried so he would know how scary the day was and that I missed him and he looked at all my scratches.

Tomorrow, I might stay home.

11:50am: I like usual have been SOOOOOOOOO busy.
On Friday morning, Mom and I went downtown for errands, then we packed up a whole bunch of stuff into the car and we started driving. I wasn't happy because I sorta missed lunch but I fell asleep to Dad cursing traffic. A few hours later I woke up and was hungry and Dad said we had to wait til 371 and eventually we got to Baxter and I had a Culver's meal. Then we drove a little bit more... and there was Uncle Justin! And then there was Aunt Alli! I checked out their house and then walked around the resort for awhile. Erin stopped at the house to see me, and then we went to the bookstore to see her. Back to the cabin and I got to check out everyone's cell phones. I got to sleep on the futon in the Wii room.
Saturday Mom and I walked to Nisswa because Mom wanted Star Wars stamps. Then I waded in the lake and played with the sand toys. Mom and Dad took me to Sibley Station for lunch. They said I had the best meal of all of us. After that we had ice cream and went home for nap. We just hung out and people came over and I didn't want to go to bed and then Mom woke up Dad to get me some milk and then I slept.
Sunday is doughnut morning. And then we packed up and went to Arby's. And then we went to Krista's house and she had day old golden retriever puppies! Justin picked me up so I could pet one. Krista also had a big trampoline in the yard so I ran on that with Justin, Alli and Krista. Then we drove and drove some more until Grandpa's house to visit for Father's Day.
Now we're back home. Sort of. On Tuesday I went with Grandpa to see Justin and Alli in St. Cloud. They took me to a park. And then instead of coming home I went to Grandpa and Grandma's house and got to sleep over. Last night I finally came home again and what did Mom and Dad do? They let people take away my crib! So in response, I have a fever. It means I get to run around without a shirt or pants which I like but I still don't feel good. So I've been putting Mom's magazines in the garbage.

10:30pm: Today is my daddy's birthday. And more importantly, I am 15 months old. So I met up with Ezra for lunch, mom and dad bought me a new car seat, and then for supper we met with grandma and grandpa at Gasthof's for supper. I ate veal and bread and carried the snuff board.

4:11pm: In honor of my birthing-day-anniversary tomorrow, Mom and Dad took me to the doctor this morning. I got 3 shots. I really liked how the nurse said to hold me extra tight because one was going to burn. Anyway, I am 31 inches and 22 pounds 3 ounces and I had some orange shake and potato cake for breakfast.

9:41am: Yesterday I went to the Como Zoo with mom and dad. There were a lot of strollers.
I didn't want to take a nap when I got home and mom was frustrated with me.
Then we went to Sam's house. I liked going through purses. And Garion chased me. And I poked at Holden.
Then we went to Dairy Queen and I had some of mom's Mr. Misty.

2:46pm: I pooed on the carpet after my bath!
Mom is so... delighted because now she gets to spend my naptime doing laundry and cleaning carpet instead of having a shower like she planned.
Earlier we went to Walgreens and the library. Our neighbor Bob was on the train home with us - he was going to have lunch at his house then go back to work.
It's hot. Mom thinks I'm getting a heat rash already. It's not even June yet!

9:22am: Once again my schedule has been booked up.
Friday was Joe and Elly. Saturday was Pete and Marci and in the evening Mommy left with Oma and I stayed home with Daddy. He brought a futon to the porch so I can watch the neighbors. Sunday was Margaret at Izzy's and then we went to Taste of Thailand with John and Deb. I cried so the whole restaurant could hear how I didn't want to be in my chair. Monday I was with Grandma and then Dave came over. Mommy says maybe tonight we can see my baby cousin.

I have also been using my spoon myself. Mommy tries to pile on a lot so I decided I need to show her how to do it better.

And Daddy has me wearing training pants. I like the cotton breeziness but Mommy isn't happy because I'm a big pee-er.

8:50am: I have 10 teeth!
How many are you up to, Ezra?

8:53am: I've been SOOOOOOOO busy in the past week!
Sunday - Mommy got up early and played in the kitchen. Then me and Mommy went to church with Grandpa and Grandma I. Daddy stayed home and made food. Then Dawn came over and I ate lots of green beans and carrots. I had a nap in the afternoon with Daddy. Then Grandma P came and brought me German toys. Then we went to see Mommy's grandparents before bed.
Monday - Daddy went to the Twins game, and Grandma P came over for supper. She was supposed to catch the kitty, but was too tired and went home instead.
Tuesday - Mommy and I went shopping at Target in the morning. Then after lunch, Justin, Alli and Krista came over and we all went to The Mall. I had fun pulling all of Krista's new underwear out of her bag. I fell asleep on the way home, and when I woke up, Grandma P was there and she had got the kitty! Me and Mommy went in her car and ate at McDonalds, looked at Barnes and Noble and Macy's and went to Target again. Poor Daddy was all alone at home waiting up for us.
Wednesday - When I woke up from nap, Mommy took me back to The Mall. This time we hung out with Sam and ate at Johnny Rockets. I like strawberry shake. Then while Sam tried some new shoes, I was busy bringing all the packages of insoles to Mommy. Daddy didn't come home til bedtime and Mommy was mad. He had got his hair cut real short.
Thursday - Mommy was at work so I went to Grandma I's house. Justin, Alli and Krista were there to play with me! I took a nap with Justin. Daddy picked me up and brought me home for supper. Then I had a bath before bed!
Friday - Daddy left REALLY early for work. At lunch time Andy came over! He brought lots of bags too but I chose not to unpack for him. Daddy came home early from work, and after Andy came back from the dentist, we all went back to the church. And Justin was there! There were lots of people and I made it echo in the church. Then we went home and got on the train and went to the Twins game. Natalie and Bennet were there - I haven't seen them since I was 3 months old. They liked playing with me. I ate a hot dog.
Saturday - Daddy went away at lunchtime. Then Mommy gave me a bath and I took a nap. When I woke up Grandpa picked us up and we went to the church AGAIN. I liked Alli in her dress. I got to wear a new pink dress and walk in my shoes. I got to hold a big bunch of flowers and walk in front of lots of people. I felt a bit shy with all the people looking at me, but then I saw Grandma P! So I ran up to her, but Mom said we had to keep going to the front. We sat in our own pew and I got to eat lots of wheels and smile at people. Then I got to play with my new dog for awhile and see the books Grandma brought with until Grandpa was ready to go. We drove to Chaska and then there were all the people from the church again! Standing around wanting to see me! I liked the fireplace. I was hungry though and made my water cup go all over Mommy and th floor. For supper I had some fruit and bread and then ate my chicken while sitting with Krista. Then there was music and I danced. When I was tired Daddy took Mommy and me up to a room and I went to sleep.
Sunday - I woke up at 8, and Mommy brought me to Grandpa and Grandma's room! I played with them and ate snacks for breakfast. After awhile, we all got in the car. After we stopped at the gas station, I ate donut holes. We went to the house and Andy was there. I played for a bit and then we went home. I took a nap with Mommy, then Daddy was noisy with his motorcycle and woke me up. Mommy and I took a walk to Tom Thumb and while she made supper, ivv x cx ccxaxvdsdsazr.
Monday - Daddy woke me up by ticking my feet. After lunch, Mommy and I went downtown. The wind blew my hair around. I fell asleep on the train, so Mommy let me nap outside in my stroller in the sun. I was being bitey last night so Daddy said I had to go to bed early. I did, and when I woke up the second time, Daddy moved me so that Mommy slept with me on the floor in my room when they were done with taxes.

9:51am: I took my first picture today.
It's my foot peeking from beneath my dress while standing on the bed.

5:39pm: Walking.
Two whom it may concern,

Today father has had quite a fright as I proceeded to walk a few steps as I could no longer hold on to the monitor as I wanted to give him a toy. The toy it-self was quite inconsequential. Just a block of plastic ice with fish frozen in time. I was not surprised by the words that flowed out of his mouth. I hear them quite often. Quite the fuss for a hand full of steps in performed multiple times in a row. How I love to hand things to people just to get them back again!

Father and mother both agree that I am now a certifiable walker.

11:48am: I am 20 pounds, 14 ounces and 29 and 1/4 inches long.
I don't have an ear infection, I can scream real loud, and I hate having band-aids on my finger.

9:04am: It's hard being 1.
Dad woke me up early for a shower and mom won't let me tear the plastic wrapping off her library book.

11:05am: Today mom freaked out because I started having a reaction to something in mom and dad's room. So then mom and I took a bath and now I have a fading splotch on my cheek. And I'm on my second outfit of the day (not including pajamas)!

9:21am: Today mom made my oatmeal with milk instead of formula. She said formula is only for bottles for the rest of the week because I'm a big girl now.

I am wearing a dress today because the inspector is coming over and I need to be cute. And my aunt Sally is coming too!
