Week Six

On the 19th I really started to love playing on my activity mat and watching myself in the mirror ... I hardly even notice the toys above me because the image in the mirror is fantastic to stare at ...

On Wednesday mommy and I went to her first Mommies group ... it was a lot of fun ... lots of other babies to look at and mommy had a chance to talk to other mom's about what they are going through being new mommies ... she is getting a lot better at taking me out on her own ...

Week Five

On the 13th I slept from 1:00 AM until 7:00 AM ... Mommy actually woke up before me because she thought she may not have heard me cry ... as hard as that is to believe ... she hears me when I just make little noises while sleeping ... so she actually got to make some coffee and check her e-mail before I even woke up ... they wanted to brag to everyone about how long I slept ...

On the 14th I had my one month check-up ... again the doctor said I was doing great ... and I saw a really nice doctor this time ... one I really liked ... I weighed in at 10 pounds 12 ounces and was 22.5 inches long ... the doctor told mommy and daddy to keep doing whatever they are doing cause I was doing great ... that means plently of bottles ... kisses and snuggle time for me ...

For the first time this week Mommy and I went out without Daddy ... we went to AC Moore and Target and then hung out for a while at Starbucks ... Mommy had a Mocha Frappachino and I had a bottle then we just sat and read People magazine ... we also went to visit Eliana and Aunt Jenny ... Mommy had made some stickers for Ellie out of the picture of her holding me for the first time ... it was a really fun afternoon and I was so proud of Mommy being able to keep up with everything all by herself ... it isn't easy keeping up with me ...

Week Four

On the 6th Eliana and Aunt Jenny came over to play ... Aunt Jenny sat and held me the whole time ... she just loves holding me ... and Eliana was playing on my activity gym ... it was so funny because she is way too big for it ... but she was having fun ringing the bell and trying to make me laugh ...

On the 9th I gazed at myself in the mirror for quite sometime ... this was the first time mommy noticed and she watched me as long as I watched myself ...

I also gave mommy and daddy quite a big laugh ... I had what Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jason refer to as my first blow-out ... Daddy was holding me on the couch and suddenly got a funny look on his face ... as he took me upstairs he kept calling for mommy to come and help ... turns out I pooped so hard it blew right out of my diaper ... mommy and daddy couldn't stop laughing ... I was in an old onesie and they didn't want to pull it over my head so out came the sissors and they cut it right off of me ... it was right into the bath for me after that ...

Week Three

On the 27th we went to Grandmommy and Granddaddy's house for a cook-out to celebrate Daddy's birthday ... normally we go out for dinner but I'm pretty new to the world to be going out ... my cousin Eliana held me for the first time and there were so many pictures taken we felt like celebrities ... On the same night when we got home I slept 5 hours ... Mommy thought she was in heaven ... I was just excited for my bottle when I woke up ...

On Sunday Mommy and Daddy took me to Target for the first time ... it is one of Mommy's favorite stores and I can see why ... there were so many things to look at ... and they of course bought some stuff for me ...

On the 30th I got to visit Mommy's work ... Marianne, Roxanne and Mary spent the whole time loving on me ... they were all so excited to see me ...

Mommy was less excited later that night when I projectile vomited on her in the middle of the night ... and as gross as it was she just laughed it off ... the next day when I projectile vomited near Daddy he was relieved it didn't get on him ...

On June 1st Daddy gave me my first bath in my big bathtub ... there were tons of bubbles and I was submerged in warm water and I loved it!!! It was fabulous until I had to get out ... that was not fun and boy did I scream my head off to let them know ... but the big bath I can get used to ... much better than the sponge baths I have been having ...
