Things I Miss About Grandma Lai

Grandma Lai had to catch a plane this morning to go back home. I will miss her keeping me wrapped up cozily with blankets all the time.

I will also miss her taking pictures of me. I feel like a star then!

Going to Miss Grandma Lai

Grandma Lai has to leave tomorrow and I'm going to miss her. I like talking to her and smiling at her when I'm in my swing. She doesn't run off to finish chores and do computer stuff like Mommy does when I'm sitting in my swing and not fussing. Grandma sits and talks to me and calls me "cutie". I really like being called "cutie" and it makes me smile.

Mommy and Daddy don't hold me close and rock me to sleep, but Grandma does. Mommy can't believe that Grandma can hold me so long since she says her own arms feel like they will fall off after holding me for five minutes.

Grandma helps me fall asleep and get a really nice nap.

Grandma also constructs thoughtful tents like this so that I can have a dim, cozy place to sleep.

Chicago Botanic Garden

Yesterday we visited the Chicago Botanic Garden with Grandma Lai. Mommy took some colorful pictures of the flowers and plants.

These artistic shots of sunflowers and of the lake are actually photos that Daddy took.

Mommy forgot to take pictures of me and had to ask Daddy for ones that he took. Doesn't she know I am the star? :)

Visit on Sunday by Grandma and Grandpa Meyers

During Grandma and Grandpa Meyers' visit, I did some tummy time. I was able to lift my head really high, at a 90-degree angle. By the time Mommy got her camera out, I had gone back down. Everyone asked for an encore performance, but I was tired and didn't want to do it again. Hey, if you had a head the size I do compared to my body, you wouldn't be trying to lift your head to 90 degrees again so soon!

Grandma and Grandpa Meyers brought over a lot of pretty outfits just for me which were presents from some really nice people at their church!

Cooing

I like to coo at the mobiles in my swing. I also like to coo and talk to everyone!

Visit by Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Mark

Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Mark came over to visit me today. Aunt Jennifer played "stick out your tongue" with me. It was fun!

From Tummy to Back Yesterday!

Yesterday during tummy time I rolled over! I went from my tummy over on my left side to face up. Mommy and Grandma Lai were busy fumbling with cameras and didn't catch how I managed to flip myself over. They tried to get me to repeat my performance, but one time a day is enough for a little baby like me with a head more than 25% the size of my body! :)
