This was a really cool week for me, as I got a lot of quality time with Grandma Droste (hopefully Nana and Grandpa Yagan enjoyed their week off!). It’s so cool to remember that there are so many people who love me. My days actually weren’t so different — lots of play time and lots of time outside.
On Wednesday, Grandma and I went on three walks. In the morning we went on a really long walk up Damen Avenue. On another outing we hung out in Wicker Park and then on our third trip we walked along Division. On one of our trips, we came home with sunflowers and cantaloupe.
I still wasn’t a champ napper, but I took two naps longer than 45 minutes each. After Mom got home, the three of us took a trip to Oberweis. I’m starting to get jealous!
On Thursday we did a lot of tummy-time and I got a lot of practice sitting up — I’m so close to being able to do it on my own! I took a pretty long nap — on Grandma’s arm! And a really long nap (2 hours!) later in the afternoon. We even squeezed in a trip to Dominick’s!
On Friday I learned that I have a favorite book called (ever so cleverly) Colors. I especially liked the the orange (Dad’s favorite color!) and the blue door. I took another long (1.5 hour) nap, too.
Before Mom got home, Grandma and I cleaned the house for Mom & Dad. We did an especially good job on the bathrooms and we made Mom’s and Dad’s bed. After Mom got home, the three of us ran to Home Depot.
Grandma sat with me in the back of the car whenever we all went anywhere. And throughout the week she gave me my first singing lessons ever! Well, more like we traded high-pitched squeals. But hey, if I ever make American Idol, I’ve got her to thank.
All in all, it was a really fun week with Grandma Droste!

Oh, Miss Margaret –
It does my heart good to see you studying that flower so intently. Can’t wait until we can do lots more of that kind of thing!
Thanks for such a wonderful visit. It’s hard to believe that you are already nearly 6 months old. You and I will be out digging in the dirt together before we know it!
Take good care of your mom and dad. Tell your dad I am surprised, but pleased that he allowed your photo to be posted on the blog wearing a Cardinals uniform – but I am pleased. I guess your mom’s loyalties won out this time (he can’t deny how darn cute you look either!).
Have a wonderful day, Maggie. Glad you are finally recovering from your crummy cold and feeling better!
Much love –
Grandma
