The last couple months have been quite as an adventure, as I’ve gotten to spend a ton of time with the Droste side of my family while Nana Yagan was traveling. Grandma Droste has spent a few weeks up taking care of me, but this week was probably my last chance to hang out with her until my birthday!
The only disappointment of the week was that we had a camera malfunction, so we don’t have pictures from every day.
Tuesday morning was great. I had my full bottle in the morning with Mom. At breakfast, they finally got the clue and started giving me prune — much needed prunes, at that. I took a nice long nap from 10:00 to noon and then had lunch (I love curry!). The most exciting news of the day is that I finally got blinds in my room! I have always had curtains, but since I have the bedroom with the most windows in the whole house, without blinds my room was cold, loud, and bright. Hopefully, no longer! I celebrated my improved room with another 2-hour nap. I only drank 4 ounces of my evening bottle…hmm.
Breakfast on Wednesday was a bit rocky; I just wasn’t in the mood for millet. I finally got it down (thanks to Grandma adding some formula) and then we read a bunch of books on the floor next to the couch. I fell asleep in Grandma’s arms — it was so cozy with the big fleece blanket! I got my latest new food — red beans and rice. I loved it. Finally I am starting to get food with real flavor! The rice was a bit mushy, but otherwise it was great. Then, maybe thanks to the beans, I let out a ridiculously loud burp — so loud it scared me! The rest of my day was fun, with lots of playing and eating (which involved food getting in my hair, nose, chair, floor and even the back of my shirt!
Thursday was a really exciting day. The first big event was that Grandma and I went out for a walk. It was really cold (but sunny) so we bundled up and headed across Division street, all the way to Wendy’s (don’t worry, Mom, we didn’t go in!). One our way back we stopped by everyone’s favorite: Milk & Honey. I waved and blew kisses to everyone there! The second big news was that my schedule was rearranged. Instead of getting bottles when I get up and before I sleep, my second bottle was moved to 3:00 pm. The afternoon bottle sure helped me take a good nap! I think I am going to like this new schedule. We’ll see how long it lasts…
Friday was a rare day that I got to spend time with both of my Grandmas! Grandma Droste and I played and hung out most of the morning. I took a nice long nap, but other than that it was pretty uneventful. Around 3:00 Nana came over so that Grandma could head for the train station! It was definitely sad to see Grandma Droste leave, but I am so happy that I got to spend so much time with her and also excited to be spending more time with Nana again. I am so lucky to have two wonderful grandmas!
