6 weeks

Hello everyone! I am 6 weeks old now and I am growing like a weed. I am a very good eater and hopefully all of my hard work will pay off with weight gain. I am growing longer and longer every day I do know that. Mommy had to put all of my newborn outfits away because the sleeves are way too short and I can't stretch out my legs all of the way in them anymore. I now get to wear my 3 month sleepers and mommy is so excited because she was getting sick of seeing me in the same outfits all of the time. I have yet to really wear clothes because I am so skinny that I can't keep my pants up and I can't keep my socks on either because there is no fat on my legs to keep them up. My feet are huge but my legs are skinny. I have been doing an awesome job sleeping at night. I am in my bed by 10, I get up about 2 to eat and then go right back to bed and then my daddy feeds me before he goes to work in the morning at about 5:30. Mommy told Daddy that he is in charge in the mornings from 5:00-6:15 so she can get ready for work and I figured I had better put him to work. We have our bonding time then. I sure do love to stare at my Daddy. I have been caught smiling at my brother and my mommy a few times in the last week or so. I have even started making some cooing noises when I am full, changed and as happy as can be. I have still think my brother is pretty crazy, and he still thinks it is his job to help with me. He really likes to burp me and shove my pacifier in my mouth. He sometimes gets a little rough but I am a tough girl and I can take it. Mommy and daddy make him go to timeout sometimes after he has his way with me....I don't really know what timeout is but mommy says some day I will. Daddy says I am going to be such a good girl that I will never have to go to timeout. I am sure my daddy is right about that. My mommy went back to work this week so I have been staying home with grandma. You know what that means...I get to be spoiled, and held all day long. Unlike my mom, my grandma has nothing better to do than sit on the couch and hold me. My mom has real issues with sitting still and relaxing. Believe me, I lived inside of her for 9 months....she is crazy! Well, because I still really love to sleep, I suppose I had better get ready for another nap. Oh the life.....it sure is great! I am keeping my fingers crossed for some nice weather....I love to go for walks around town with my mommy and my brother. Fresh air makes me sleep even more!

1 month

Hello everyone! I am 1 month old now and life could not be any better. I am spending a lot more time being awake and looking around at everything in the room. I am doing a pretty good job following objects that mommy and daddy hold in front of me. My favorite thing to do is look outside. I especially love laying on grandma and grandpa's couch looking out their windows. I am still a very, very good baby. Nothing really makes me mad. I had a weigh in at the doctor on Monday and I am 7lbs 11oz. The doctor said I am doing a great job growing. I go back in a month and the doctor said I should weigh about 9.5lbs. My mommy is so lucky that I am such a little squirt. Some people bring home babies that weigh 9lbs and I will be 2 months old already when I weigh that much. I do want to get bigger because I have an entire room full of clothes and because I am so tiny I only have about 10 different outfits and I am getting tired of wearing the same thing over and over. I did bust out a 0-3 month outfit to wear yesterday and it was pretty big, but it sure was nice to have something different to wear. I hear my brother never had to repeat an outfit for the first 6 months of his life. Not fair!!!! I am getting my pictures taken on Sunday. I hear mommy and aunt Stephanie have some pretty exciting things planned for me. I hear these things involve no clothes, bows in my hair and baskets. I also hear I will get to wear a tu-tu and even pose with my brother for a few pictures. Good thing Renee is such a patient person because I am sure mommy will have her taking all kinds of crazy pictures. Mommy only has 1 week left at home with me then she has to go back to work. I am going to miss her. I do however get to spend my days with grandma, which will probably be even better because grandma is a sucker and will sit and hold me all day. I have been told that is what grandmas do. Lucky me!!!! I will however get to go to Aja's a few times before that because Grandma and Grandpa think they need to go to Hawaii for 2 weeks in March. I hope they have fun! Don't worry about us here freezing while you are sitting on the beach sipping drinks with pretty umbrellas. I had to take a phone call from my Aunt Tracy just now and I have lost my train of thought so I guess we will end this for now. I will however try and find some pictures to put up and hopefully mommy can get some more on her computer so I can post some more.
Until next time.......
