Mommy and Daddy got the invitations for my birthday all together and have sent most of them out already.  We still have a few left to send, but those will go out tomorrow.  I can't believe my second birthday is in 3 weeks.  I think my mommy wants to cry.  She says I'm growing so fast.  I love spending time with her and I most certainly see that she loves spending time with me.  I'm in a cuddly phase right now.  Mommy and Daddy hope it never ends.  I am so full of hugs and kisses and am not being stingy on giving them out.  Every time Mommy turns around I'm giving her a kiss.  She just loves it!

Last week we were at Grandma Rosemary's house a lot.  We're getting ready for Thanksgiving.  There's a lot of cleaning and stuff to do.  We're also getting rid of a lot of stuff while we're at it.  You see, my Grandma's house has been in our family ever since it was built many, many years ago.  So there are many people's things still there from 50+ years ago.  Mommy says a lot of it is really neat to look at, like the letters and paperwork from when my Great, Great, Great Grandma and Grandpa came over from Germany with their kids.  Then several years later they sponsored my Great, Great, Great Aunt and Uncle along with their kids and a few others.  History is very interesting and things are definitely done differently these days. 

Now it's onto the yuckies.  Last night was a horrible night.  Daddy noticed I wasn't eating...well, I was chewing my food and keeping it in my mouth, but I wasn't swallowing it.  I was in my chair for a long time and had not eaten much at all.  Then Mommy and Daddy started talking and discovered neither one of them had changed a stinky diaper of mine in at least a few days.  So Daddy checked my belly and noticed I was bloated and it was sensitive...to make a long story short and not too detailed...they gave me something to help move things along, then I sat on my big girl potty for a while and watch a few of my Einstein videos.  This is the first time something like this has happened and I hope if won't happen again.  I've been a little sick, so Mommy and Daddy think that's what caused this problem.  In order to prevent it from happening again Mommy is going to up my fruit & veggies intake.  Even though I already eat a lot of those I also eat a lot of dairy.  What can I say, I love me some cheese.
