Sick of doctors

Hey my peeps! Can I tell you I am so sick of going to the doctor? Holy cow! Last week I had to go twice. I had an early case of croup last week and the cold part is finally almost gone. I coughed a lot when the medicine wore off. That medicine really did a number on me too. I think Mommy and Daddy called me 'cranky pants'. :( We also had to go back to my ear doctor so he could look in my ears - I did NOT like it! He didn't seem to care that I was wailing. This past week, Mommy took me back to see my regular doctor. Apparently it was my 18 month appointment. I didn't like it when they did anything and then that nice Nurse Sue comes in and give me shots. Boy, I tell ya that was so upsetting! And everyone needs to stop looking in my ears!!!

[Editor's Note (i.e Mom's input) - Graham's statistics at his appointment were as follows: height - 33 1/4 inches, 75%; weight 25 lbs 8 oz - 50%; and head continues to be near the top of the chart at 95%! His weight was down from his 15 month appointment. Between his illnesses and tube surgery, his lost some of his appetite. It doesn't help that Dakota is sitting at his feet at every meal begging for food. ]

Besides seeing too many doctors, Mommy took me for a haircut. Oh my gosh, that was torture. Mind you it was my 10th haircut in my short 18 months. I just don't like them anymore. I could tell the lady cutting my hair didn't have much experience with kids. Also those scissors really hurt my hair!

I guess we were supposed to go to Kansas City over Valentine's Day, but with me being sick we didn't go. Nanny was going to visit, but as usual it was going to snow so it wouldn't have been good for her to be driving all that way. Uncle Greg did stop by and he brought cupcakes from some yummy cake place. I ate my whole cupcake! Maybe Mommy will stop there sometime!

This weekend Grandma came to visit. Daddy went away with a bunch of guys without me and Mommy. I don't know how those guys could be more fun than me and Mommy, but apparently Daddy thought somehow they would be. I had lots of fun with Grandma here though and Uncle Greg was over quite a bit. I even finished my nap sitting on his lap. We went to the fish fry at church. I didn't really sit still much, but eventually ate my dinner. It was so fun to walk around those tables. Saturday morning Mommy dropped Grandma and me off at the mall and we walked around until the play area opened. Mommy was there after awhile too. It was so fun! All those kids and stuff to climb on! I hugged one little girl. Then I hit her. Mommy made me apologize which I show as a hug. I played with Grandma some more at home, but she had to go home after church because her house was supposed to get a whole bunch of snow on Sunday. I was sad and I think she was too.

As usual, I am into everything possible. I figured out that I can slide the chairs from the kitchen table around so I can climb on the counters. Nothing is safe from my little hands. Anything that I can climb on is also fair game. Sometimes my hands are quite helpful like when I help put away dishes or my toys. Other times I create quite a mess, like dumping powder all over the carpet. Mommy and Daddy wish I would talk more. I wish they would listen better. They seem to be picking up on more of what I am saying. Like Dad understood when I said 'poo' that I needed a new dipe!

You can tell I love snuggling with Dad and Mom!

Dad and Mom have been watching the Olympics. Dad thought I should try on his ski goggles - they obviously don't fit!Well I hope my next update has no reports of doctors!
