It's been a while...

Well, it has been too long. My Mom wasn't feeling too well the other week and it really stopped things around the house. My Dad says he was a single Dad taking care of two babies. ;-) Well, I am a beefcake..at least my parents say so. I really like food. Mom and Dad checked my weight last night. They weighed Mom and then weighed Mom while she was holding me. There was a 16-17 pound difference. Mom and Dad just measured me and I am 26.25 inches tall!! When I take naps I like to hook my hands onto my ears. I also have found out I have a tongue and enjoy sticking it out. Yesterday, when Mom was done with work, we got to hang out with Grandma, Aunt Melanie, Uncle Matt, and my cousins Garreth, Ansley and Tabitha. Garreth and Ansley were speaking "parseltongue" to me. (They had just watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets!) I really enjoyed it and was laughing quite a bit. Mom says I am going to roll over soon. I wiggle around when laying down and roll up onto my sides. Dad and I hung out on Thursday night and he told Mom that after she left I spun around in a complete circle on the floor before I fell asleep for a nap. I really like music and singing. The TV is pretty interesting too. There are lots of colors and shapes to watch. Mom and Dad say I might be getting some teeth. I chew on my fingers all the time and drool a lot. I also stick 1-4 fingers down my throat and gag! Yuck. Here are some pictures of me around my house.

Laughing

Hey Guys!!  It's been a while.  Well, I started to laugh on Feb. 4th.  I laughed for Mom.  I am pretty particular about who and when I laugh.  Mom and Dad keep trying to get it on video.  I just won't do it.  I am not a big fan of the camera.  Who knows who will see the pictures or video?

My Mom keeps telling me that I will be staying with my Grandma in the mornings starting on Monday.  Mom and Dad are worried about how the schedule will work out.  I like to wake up around 7am, but Mom has to leave the house around 6:30-6:45 am. 

We went grocery shopping today and we saw another baby who 

was about my size.  Turns out he was 6 months old (his Mom said he

 was only 5lbs when born).  I am getting to be a big boy. I like

 to eat and eat a lot.  If you don't feed me when I want it, even if it's 30 seconds after I am hungry I yell REAL loud.  Mom and Dad think I might be saying some obscenities.  That's for me to know and them to wonder.  

Here's a picture of me with our neighbor's dog Reno.  

Here I am sleeping on my Mom at the end of January.  

2 month Check Up

Well, I went to see the doctor today.  I weigh in at 13 pounds 4 ounces and am 24 3/4 inches tall.  Mom and Dad say that my weight is in the 90th percentile and my height is in the 97th.  The doctor says I am perfect.  Mom and Dad have noticed a red mark on my chest and thought it to be a superficial hemangioma.  They checked with the doctor and he told them they were  correct.  He also says  it will get more red and raised over the next year but, will then eventually fade out in a few years.  I also got my first couple vaccines and it sure hurt my legs.  I cried for a good 5 minutes.  My Mom held and rocked me then I fell asleep.  I really like to talk a lot (bet you can't guess who that comes from.)  I don't go back to see the doctor until I am 4 months old.

My Dad is staying home with Mom and Me this week.  We are really having a good time all together.  

Dad says we'll get some new pictures up this week, he's been snap happy with the camera!  

Baptism!

Well, we had some snow today (at least that's what my parents say.)  I just know when we left for church I was bundled up very tightly.  My Mom and Dad took me to church to be baptized tonight.  I was a very good boy.  I was mostly awake and got hungry during Mass.  Then my Mom and Dad took my bottle away and I had water dumped on my head.  It got in my eyes but Mom wiped them for me.  I only fussed a little.  Then we went back to our house and had dinner with family.  I am pretty worn out now so I am going to bed.

I have a belly button. Finally!!

Well, it finally has happened!  My umbilical stump has fallen off.  It really wanted to stay with me.  I will be 7 weeks old on Sunday.  My Mom and Dad were starting to think that I may not ever have a belly button.  But, now I have a belly button with just a little scab in it.  So, tonight Mom says I am getting my first real bath!!

Merry Christmas!

Well, I woke up this morning , had a nice bottle and then got a lot of gifts.  I must of been a very good boy this year (I've been here a whole month today.)  After opening up my gifts I decided a I needed a nap.

I stopped by my Grandpop and Nana's house.  Then w

e headed over to Meme and Papa's(one of my sets of Great Grandparents.)  It's pretty busy over there.  While we were there my Grandma got a picture of me and my cousins.  Garreth is holding me and Ansley is holding Tabitha who is one week old today! 

I sure hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!!

  

One of the first smiles caught by the camera

Well, I was pretty happy this morning.   My Mom and Dad actually caught one of my first smiles on the camera.  After that I decided I needed to hang out with my brother Cooper.  My Dad got a few good pictures too.  I am an eating machine and getting pretty big.  I don't have to go back to the doctor until the end of January.  My parents are anxious to see how much I have grown.  I sleep pretty good at night, but I like to change it up on my parents so they don't get too comfortable.
