What a Weekend!

Uncle Daniel and Aunt Christy flew in from Dallas on Thursday just to see me! They were supposed to go to the beach Friday with Granddaddy and Grandmommy, but it rained all day, so they came over to my house and helped Mom and Dad fix up the house.

They came back over Saturday and I got to be with them a bunch! They never seem to get tired of feeding me and making me laugh! They babysat me last night so Mom could go to church (Dad had to work).

Tonight, we all went to a party at Granddaddy's and I got to see my second cousins, along with my Great Uncle Greg and Great Aunt Karen. I have a one-year-old second cousin named Gracie and we had a good time watching each other play!

Mom starts work tomorrow at Soccer Camp and I get to stay with Grandmommy at her work. That should be fun!

Don't forget to check out my new pictures below and I hope to see you soon!

Four Months and Nine Days Old!

But, who's counting?

Got my first oatmeal facial the other night. Rubbed it into my cheeks, ears, under my chin...it was a new experience, but my skin has been thoroughly exfoliated and feels as soft as a baby's! Mom says I was supposed to put the stuff in my mouth, but I couldn't quite grasp that concept yet!

New pix below, including Granddaddy's favorite. He says it's already been made into wallpaper on computer screens across America, whatever that means! I was so proud of him for changing my wet diaper the other night. But, when I had one of those smelly ones, he said he'd step aside and let Grandmommy take care of that one (too much information?)

I'm learning how to hold my own bottle. Mom has some characters she puts on the sides to make it easier. Keep her in your prayers. Her knee has been giving her fits lately!

Dad's doing a great job, as usual, working early mornings and late nights to make sure we have all of life's necessities (you know, diapers, formula, toys and stuff like that).

And Grandmama's been down to visit us lots of times recently. She even brought us some Jersey corn and tomatoes! (Is that anything like oatmeal?)

Well, it's WAY past my bedtime. I like to retire around 7:00 p.m. so I'll be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 7:00 a.m.

Nitey-nite!

The Best Medicine...

My latest trick...laughing!

Granddaddy was so funny tonight, I just couldn't help but laugh out loud! I guess my famous smiles weren't enough to hold my visitors' attention anymore, so I had to come up with something new!

They say I'm getting my own personality now and I'm getting better at telling my parents what I want. We went out to dinner the other night and they had the NERVE to start eating before feeding me! But, don't worry. I let them (and everyone else in the restaurant) know I was displeased.

I'm learning how to suck my thumb (sure comes in "handy" when that old binky gets lost)! I'm also sleeping about 12 hours a night now -- 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. I'm sure my folks miss me while I'm asleep. I don't know how they get along without me for so long!

Mom says she thinks I'm starting to get a tooth and I'm really looking forward to that! Corn-on-the-cob, here I come!

Well, the Sandman's beating me up and I get to go to my first yard sales in the morning, so I'll say goodnight, now. Leave a comment and let me know what you think about me!

I'm A Chunk!

That's what people keep saying about me these days. I just turned three months old a couple of days ago and I've doubled my birth-weight!

Check out the photos below and you'll see I now have rolls where I used to have bones! I've been to lots of places since my last posting and am having a great time growing up.

Last night at Cracker Barrel, I downed a whole bottle and then gave it back to Granddaddy (from both ends!) After they cleaned me up, I grinned and enjoyed being the center of attention!

I'm getting tired of my binky between meals, so I'm working on my fist, trying to learn how to get my thumb in my mouth. I hear that's a good appetizer!

Well, I'm going to hit the crib because we have another trip coming up. We're leaving at sunrise tomorrow to see my maternal great grandma in New Jersey. Won't that be fun!

Come see me when you get the chance!

Nite-Nite! Posted by Picasa
