2002 Journal
We have
been so busy. Mommy and Daddy are both back to
work. Daddy is working at a grocery warehouse and Mommy
is working part time at a day care center. I get to go
with Mommy three days a week, then I get to stay home with
Daddy.
Other than me turning 14 months old, we have nothing big
planned for this month but that doesn't mean we won't come up
with exciting things to do!

Happy
Labor Day!

Happy Labor
Day! We didn't do too much during the day today except lay
around the house! Daddy is still getting used to his new
job, which he said he would tell you all about tomorrow!
After supper, we went downtown to the Kipona festival in
Harrisburg. We walked around the park and down by the
river. We stayed until after my bedtime to watch the
fireworks! Boy, were they good. They were the best
ones we have seen all year! I was a little scared at first
but then they were just to mesmerizing. They had this
really cool red one that went off and then stayed lit as it fell
to the ground. Daddy said that is probably it for
fireworks until next summer!

Mommy
and Daddy Are Back to Work!
September
2 , 2002 |
|
Actually
Daddy went back to work in August but we have been so busy and
tired at night that we haven't been able to get caught up on the
web page. Anyway, he is working for C&S Wholesale
Groceries, INC. It is a grocery warehouse that supplies
dry goods to local GIANT supermarkets. He is very tired,
dirty and (sorry, Daddy) smelly, when he gets home from
work. He, along with his "team" have to load
pallets full of groceries, wrap them up and then load them onto
the trucks. He works 4 ten hour days, (works M,T,W and off
on TH and FR, works SAT and off again on Sunday), so on those
days I don't see him very much. I'm glad I get to stay
home with him on Thursday and Friday. He is in training
now so he gets paid by the hour but normally he will only get
10cents a case!!! All of that other work, wrapping,
loading, etc....is money lost. So, it's a very face-paced
and physical job. One of which he wasn't used to. He
hasn't really said too much but I think he likes it for the most
part. We'll see how it goes. He is hoping that it
will get him back in shape! He has already lost around 5
pounds.
*************************************************
Mommy
actually started working today!! She is working at the
same center as our friend Amanda Deimler works for. Amanda
is actually Mommy's "boss" now....well, kind of.
Anyway, she works for Fun Care Child Development Center.
Right now Mommy works with Ms. Faith in the three year old
room. She works from 3-5:30. I get to go with
Mommy on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. So, today was my
first day too! My teachers names are Ms. Stephanie or Ms.
Amy (no, not Mommy). I am not sure if I like it yet.
There are all these other kids there and they get things that I
want, or they bump in to me and I fall down. I'm not sure
what to think!! I do like when we go outside though.

Happy
5th Anniversary Mommy & Daddy!!!
September
6 , 2002 |
Mommy and
Daddy got married 5 years ago today! They don't have any
big plans for celebrating except that we may go to Hershey Park
when Mommy gets home from work! They are going to see
Jekyll & Hyde at the
Dutch Apple Dinner Theater on the 15th. I don't know
who is babysitting me yet. I guess it will be a
surprise...maybe Teri, Uncle Mark, Amanda? Who
knows. Anyway, Happy Anniversary Mommy & Daddy...I
LOVE YOU!!

I
Am 14 Months Old!!
September
6 , 2002 |
|
Besides this
being a BIG day for Mommy and Daddy, it's a BIG day for
me!! I'm 14 months old!! I am getting so big!
Uncle Mark was saying that my arms are getting longer because he
can now see my "tan lines" from my wrists! HA
HA!
As you
know I am going to daycare now, 3 days a week. I am still
around 32 inches tall (guessing, haven't measured myself in
awhile) and weigh about 24 pounds! I love to eat. I
am getting better at feeding myself and can use the spoon a
little bit but really not enough that it counts. Some of
my favorite foods are peanut butter sandwiches, bananas,
nectarines, (any kind of fruit, really), waffles, French toast,
(both with cream cheese) and scrambled eggs with ketchup!
Don't forget the ketchup!
I LOVE to
play outside and with my trucks. My block dump truck is my
all time favorite. I push it all over the living room and
I like to dump the blocks. I like to carry other things in
there, like the remote, my cup and the funnel from the
kitchen. It makes a good horn, ya know? I also like
to sit and "read" my books. I have 2 favorites
(my big truck book and my let's drive a tractor book) but I like
looking through all of them.
Some
things I do that Mommy and Daddy say really show off my
personality are: I spin around and around and around and
then fall down! It's soo funny. I like to show you
my belly and give kisses. But you have to be paying
attention or you'll miss them! I will use a blanket,
towel, throw rug ( Mommy loves when I tear that up!) and put it
over my head so you have to look for me! Then I pull it
off...SURPRISE!!! I like to run around my
bedroom...naked!! Peeing on the carpet gets the best
reaction...teehee!
I am
FINALLY getting some more teeth. We aren't sure which ones
or how many yet, but they are on the top. They don't
bother me too much but I am really chewing on my fingers!
I am sure we will have a HUGE update for when that milestone is
reached!! I am using a "big boy" toothbrush
now. Although, my favorite is Daddy's electric one!!
I like to brush my teeth! Sometimes Mommy lets me help brush
hers!!
Well, that's what I've been up to the last month. I'm sure
I am forgetting something but you will just have to come visit
me soon. Daddy says that I am changing a lot every day!

Hershey
Zoo
September
8 , 2002 |
Today, me,
Mommy and Daddy went to the Hershey Zoo. I got to see all
kinds of cool animals. We saw bison, elk, turtles, snakes,
bears and ducks! The bears were soo funny. There
were 3 of them and they would chase each other around and then
jump in the pool for a swim. We were able to watch them
under the water too! I also got to feed the ducks.
There were a lot of them and they really liked the corn!
None of the zoo's birds were out because of the West Nile
Virus. Quite a few birds had died this summer from the
disease so as a precautionary thing, all of the healthy birds
remaining were taken indoors to be vaccinated. I get that
done and I know their pain!!
After lunch, we went to the gift shop and Mommy and Daddy got me
a book to keep my "flattened souvenir" pennies
in. It was a short trip but a nice way to spend a Sunday
afternoon.

Fire
Trucks!
September
28 , 2002 |
|
Mommy,
Grammy, Pap-pap and Uncle JG took me to see some fire trucks!
We walked down to Community Bank on Derry Street for a
"mini" fair that they were having in honor of Fire
Prevention Week. I got to look all around the fire
truck. I was allowed to sit inside and steer it and
everything! The fireman said that he would have to take me out
with him on their next call.

The
fire truck was really big!

Where
Did the Month Go?
September
30 , 2002 |
|
I was a
little bit shocked to notice that I hadn't updated the site
since September 8th!! I have just been too busy adjusting
to new schedules and visiting with family and friends to get on
the computer.
Daddy and
Mommy are still working and I am enjoying going to
"school" with Mommy. I have made some friends,
"Big" is my buddy. We like to play outside with
the cars. The big kind that you can ride in and make go
with your feet.
I have
had lots of company this month...Grandma & Grandpa Proper,
Uncle JG, Grammy & Pap-pap and Mike from Canada. It
was fun seeing everyone and showing them all my new
tricks. They especially like my "show me your
belly" one.
I am
FINALLY getting more teeth! All four on top are deciding
to break through at the same time. I've been dealing with
this for some time now and am beginning to lose my patience with
them! I just wish they would come in already!!!
Chewing my fingers seems to help but when the pain is too
much...Mommy gives me some medicine.
We bought
a new camera and should be able to start keeping up with the
site a little better next month. It's pretty nice.
It takes much better pictures and we can even do little video
clips. Those will be nice to have on here.
