I turned 5 months old this week. Nowadays, I laugh more and cry less, I actually play with my toys, and I flip from stomach to back easily. Of course I am still refusing the bottle. As they say, you can't win them all.

Daddy keeps talking about doing bottle and sleep training before I turn 6 months old. What?! This will be a battle of will between me and my daddy, with my bleeding heart mommy caught in the middle. What drama!

On Thursday, mommy, Uncle Warren, and I got to visit daddy in his office. I met a bunch of his co-workers and even got to have lunch with him at his usual lunch spot. Pretty cool. Too bad daddy works so far away. Otherwise, we can do this more often.

And now, the highlight of the week.... A QUADRUPLE PLAY DATE!!! Ryan, Amanda, Natalie, and I got to play together at Uncle Mike and Auntie Hilda's house on Saturday. We were all born within 4 months of each other and we are all CAL babies. Including Natalie's two older sister, Sera and Mae, we can form our own volleyball team. It was a crazy fun afternoon for us kids and for our parents. Uncle Mike, I can't wait to see the videos you took for the afternoon.

We all started out sick this week (both mommy and daddy took sick days Monday), but it turned out to be a pretty good week.

My sleep schedule was off due to being sick last weekend, which makes life hard on mommy and daddy. To make myself worth their while, I started to laugh and squeal more, much to their delight.

Wednesday was 4th of July. Uncle Warren had some friends over to their house and had their own firework show. I got a front row seat. I like fireworks. They are so pretty and sparkly. A bit loud though.

This weekend I saw baby Clara for the first time. She is only 2 weeks old. She is so cute and tiny. Mommy and daddy told me that I was once that small too and that they sometimes wish that I am still that small. What sentimental saps!

To celebrate, how about a dose of stomach flu?

Thursday (6/28) was supposed to my mommy and daddy's fourth anniversary. They had big plans to ditch me and get away for lunch on Saturday to celebrate. Unfortunately, I started throwing up everything I ate on Friday. Mommy and daddy took me to see Dr. Magtoto and found out that I had the stomach flu. I was pricked and prodded all afternoon... blood test, shots, the works... I even had to get an I.V. (Thanks Uncle Sonny!)

Mommy and daddy took care of me Friday night and Saturday. By Sunday morning, daddy was throwing up too and mommy followed suit Sunday night. Needless to say, they didn't get to celebrate their anniversary this weekend. SORRY!

Daddy, consider this payback for getting me sick when I was 2 days old! Now we are even.
