Port Wine Stain (in the process of being) removed!

On Monday, mommy and daddy took me to the dermatologist. He was a super-special dermatologist who is going to make my birthmark go away. Some pictures to share:













before














during (those are the different laser marks!)

The after will be coming soon!!

It only hurt for a minute and now it doesn't hurt at all (but it looks kind of cool).

why do they insist on torturing me??!??

Today mommy and daddy took me to another doctor. We waited a long time to see him. Many people looked at my arm. We went into many different rooms. I was so tired! My awful parents made me stay up for SO LONG! I was so tired. Finally, I fell asleep in the last room that had many big machines in it.



But I only slept for 5 minutes and then those mean doctors woke me up and burned my arm!!! It hurt a lot and I cried, and now my arm is all black and blue! What's wrong with my parents????

I can make myself stand!

Today mommy went to the store. Once she was gone, I showed ONLY daddy my new skill-- i was sitting in the crib and my shmoopod was blinking lights and beckoning to me. so i stood up to get at it. good thing daddy lowered the crib!

I still can't figure out this shmoopod thing, but the lights are so pretty. i must have them! Also, i love to eat the crib bar. Daddy went bananas (not the fruit, the metaphor. i hate bananas. they make my poop hurt me). He went, "oh my god sam!"

Then I tried to remove my enigmatic shmoopod, but alas my grip on the velcro was not strong and i slipped backward and fell flat on my back. that was fun too!

For my next trick, i will learn to play the piano.

a shocking new discovery.

I HATE bananas. what horrible evil person thought up this 'food'?!?!?! blech. but mommy keeps trying to feed me them. what's wrong with her?

what a strange day...

Mommy and daddy were acting strange all day. mommy woke me up TWICE in the middle of the night to feed me, and then woke me up again in the middle of the night. they got me all dressed and put me in a car. I fell asleep. it was so early!

Then, we got out at this strange place, and mommy and daddy and I played on the floor. then we went to another room, and then another, and then another room where mommy put me in a dress and someone put something in my ear, and something tight on my arm.




Then we went to another strange place, but i was very tired and VERY HUNGRY! but mommy wouldn't feed me. daddy held me in his arms and I fell asleep.

But then I woke up and I was in a cold room and there were lots of machines and people in masks. it was scary. I started to cry but daddy held me in his arms and then someone put a mask on me and I fell asleep.

when I woke up, i felt really strange. my hands looked wierd! but mommy and daddy were there and it was all okay. I smiled at them.




My monkey was there too and he made me feel better.



Now i have a bandage on my wee wee and it hurts! but mommy and daddy gave me some juice that tastes like cherries and now i feel better. but boy, am I tired.

I'm (almost) 6 months!

today was my 6 month visit at the doctor. I love my doctor! she is pretty! i smiled at her and ate her stethescope. but that must have been the wrong thing to do because in response, she poked me with three needles. AGAIN! NOT COOL. but i smiled at her afterwards anyway. I hope this doesn't become a regular thing at the doctor's.

mommies cry too!

Today I saw mommy cry. She got off the phone with daddy and just started crying a lot. I didn't know mommies cry too! I didn't know what to do so I just stopped talking and looked at her. when she opened her eyes, i smiled a little and then she scooped me up and hugged me really hard and told me how much she loved me.

I think i made mommy feel better. I love my mommy!
