What a week!

This past week has been very busy in our house. After we went to the waterpark on Monday, Daddy was off again on Tuesday. We ran errands and took a nap together and I loved it. That night Mommy had a meeting, so it was just me and Daddy for the evening. We went to Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark's house for dinner, and I even said my first word, "Elmo," while we were reading books together before bed.

On Wednesday Daddy started his new job. Yay, Daddy! He seems to like it and likes being in a smaller office. Also on Wednesday, my Aunt Kennette, Hannah and Holden came over to watch me so Mommy could go to a funeral. Mommy was very sad all day and kept kissing and hugging on me. She said it is the second time in her life she's had to attend a funeral for a baby and she hopes she never has to do it again.

For lunch on Thursday, Mommy and I went and picked up Uncle Mark and went to Salsa Fresh. I didn't get any chips and salsa, but Mommy and Uncle Mark sure looked like they were enjoying them. That afternoon Daddy came home early and worked from home to help cheer Mommy up since she had been so sad. It worked!! On Friday, Mommy and I met Daddy, Volpe and Nicolle for lunch at Rudinos, and afterwards Daddy came home to work for the rest of the afternoon. I told you we like his new job!!!

Saturday was very fun. We went to have our family portrait made in the morning and I got to sit in a wagon. Afterwards, Mommy went to a baby shower with Aunt Christy and I stayed home with Daddy and Uncle Mark. That evening, Nana B and Grandaddy came over to keep me so Mommy and Daddy could go to a party. I love visiting with them and I was such a good boy while they were here!

Then on Sunday I went to visit my mommy's friends, Kris, Mike and Leslie. Leslie's grandson, Tannis, was also there. He was 15 months old, and was very nice by letting me share all of his toys. Today, I've been hanging out with Mommy and Aunt Christy. We went to Babies R Us to register for Christy's baby and then went to lunch. This week should be just as fun. Nana C and Papaw Glenn are coming down to keep me overnight while Mommy and Daddy go to SC to see the Wolfpack play football with Uncle Nealson, Aunt Kennette, Eric and Brandt. I'm going to miss them, but I'm looking forward to hanging out with Nana and Papaw.

Wet n' Wild

We went to the coolest place today -- it was a big water park called Wet n' Wild. We went with Kristin, Eric, Ashley, Zach, and Brandt. They had lots and lots of water for me to splash in. We also got to ride in a float around a lazy river. I played so hard that I fell asleep before we even got out of the parking lot on the way home. Mommy and Daddy got to go on some of the grown up water slides. I can't wait until I'm old enough to do that!

There are more pictures of me at the water park and some other pictures here.

A New Olympic Sport

I wish crawling and climbing on things were an Olympic sport. I bet I would win gold. We've been watching alot of the Olympics in our house, and Mommy has been tired in the mornings because she's been staying up late watching them. She says maybe one day I could win in the Olympics. I sure would like to put one of those medals in my mouth!

We've had a fun couple of weeks around here. Last Thursday, I went to Kindermusik with my Mommy. Aunt Christy was off from work so she went with us. I had the BEST time, so Mommy signed me up to take a class this fall. We danced and clapped and played drums and even got to wave a big parachute. On Saturday, I stayed home with Daddy while Mommy went to a baby shower. Daddy and I always have the best time together playing chase. He runs from me and I chase him. Sunday, Mommy and I were both feeling bad (I had a fever), so we just layed around the house while Daddy took care of us. We both still felt bad on Monday, so my Daddy worked from home that afternoon and kept an eye on me so Mommy could rest. On Wednesday, Mommy and I felt much better and we went to Cary to have lunch with our friends, Heather and Anna. I loved hanging out with Anna and guess what! Her birthday is the same day as mine.

Today, Mommy had a party so I had lots of people here when I woke up from my nap. I got to see my Nana and Grandaddy, Aunt Christy, Aunt Kennette and Hannah, Jane, Kristin and Ashley, and Jennifer. Whew. I played shy at first when I saw them, but I had a good time flirting with them all.

I hope everyone is having a good week. I love you all!

A Wii Orphan

Whew! Time flies when you're having fun. There has been so much happening here in the Deyo house. First, my Grandaddy has been in the hospital. He was sick and it took the doctors some time to figure out why. They think they've found the problem, and Grandaddy got to come home on Saturday after almost two weeks in the hospital. He has to go back to the hosptial tomorrow for surgery, but hopefully that will make him feel better in the long run. Please be thinking about my Nana and Grandaddy. They've had so much going on and they deserve a break!

We also got a Wii Fit in our house, thanks to Aunt Becky and Elizabeth who picked it up for us. Daddy wasn't happy at first because it told him he was "overweight", but I think he looks just fine. It's fun to watch Mommy, Daddy and Uncle Mark play it. It was also great to get to see The Johnstons and to finally get to meet Uncle Dan when they dropped it off on their way to Wilmington!

On Saturday, my mommy had to lead a workshop in Durham, so I stayed home with my daddy! We had a great time together. After Mom got home that afternoon, we all went over to Brent and Ashley's for a going away party for our friend, Richard. He's taking a job in Charleston, SC and is moving this week. There were so many kids there and I had a great time playing with everyone. After we left the party, we ran over to Nana and Grandaddy's house to say hey and give them kisses before we came home.

On Sunday, Mommy, Daddy, Uncle Mark, and Aunt Christy and I went to lunch and to the Farmer's Market to get some more fruits and vegetables for me. I had such a good time and Mommy even gave me a small bite of her peach sample. Yummy. That afternoon I was so excited I couldn't take a nap, so we all went over to Aunt Kennette and Uncle Nealson's house to go swimming. Holden can swim so well and Hannah was having fun hanging out in her float, but I loved it when my Uncle Nealson took me around in the water very fast. We had pizza and watermelon by the pool before we all came home.

Guess what else? I'm going to have a BOY cousin. My Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark found out yesterday they are going to have a little boy. I'm so excited I'll have someone to play with. Mommy got to go to the doctor with them and see the ultrasound. She said it made her so happy to see Aunt Christy's baby was so healthy and it reminded her of when I was in her tummy.

Before I go, I just want to tell Papaw Glenn I'm thinking of him as he finishes up his treatment. I'm also glad to hear my Mamaw Beulah will be coming home soon. That is great news! Finally, I want to say, "Hi!" and "I love you" to my Aunt Nancy and Uncle Hank in California. Nana says you read my blog and that makes me very happy. I hope you all enjoy this picture of me watching my favorite television show, "Mike and Mike in the Morning."
