Yesterday, I attended my first Pizza Party at Grandmother's church office! Of course, everyone had pepperoni or cheese pizza except me and I had a bottle of formula (yippee!). I can't wait until I can get my hands around a liter of Dr. Pepper! (see photos below)
Aunt Christy came to town with her friend Miss Becky. Both of my great-grandmas were there, along with my great aunt Karen and cousin Gracie. Of course, mommy, grandmother and grandaddy (pronounced "Gran-Diddy") were there, too! He's still working on nicknames for me. He no longer calls me "Skeeter" or "Tater." For some reason, he's started calling me "Putt-Putt." I don't know what that means, but grandmother says it's "due to the formula."
Dad had to work, unfortunately. (but I'm glad he has a job!)
I slept most of the time, but did wake up to see Gracie impersonate a woman in labor (don't ask!) She learned that from her big sisters.
Last night, mom, dad, grandmother and grandaddy took me to an auction for mom's school. You wouldn't believe the number of people who wanted to bid on me! (mom says I'm not for sale)
Well, I'm over three weeks old now, so I'll sign off. Leave me a comment and let me know what's new in your life!

To Grandmother's House I Go!
Tonight was my first trip to my grandparents' house (it really was "over the river and through the woods"!-- see photos below)
I watched everybody eat dinner before it was my turn. Then, we watched America's Funniest Home Videos on the picture box. Some of those babies were hilarious!
After that, I made quite a production in my Pampers and the folks put clothespins on their noses! Then, I got to try out another bed, one they call a "Moses Bed." They all seem the same to me, but I'm always ready for a catnap.
We're going North tomorrow to see my other grandma. I'm becoming a real travelin' girl!

Happy Birthday To Me!
In case you missed the big celebration, I turned ONE WEEK OLD last night! I feel so OLD!
Mom and I took a "road trip" this morning to her office. Grandmother D held me and fed me while we were there. She told me I am beautiful (she's not biased, is she?) She also said my mom looks good (I agree). One of mom's childhood friends is here helping out, but I don't know why. I'm just a little bundle of joy and never cause any trouble!
Mom says after my 6-week check-up she's going to see a doctor about having gall bladder surgery. I think she should have it before we go to the beach next month with the grandparents and my aunt and uncle.
We're going to JC Penney's this afternoon for my first official portrait! (They were supposed to take one at the hospital, but we were in a rush to get out when they finally released us!)
Thanks for visiting my blog and have a terrific weekend!

What's In A Name?
Thankfully, my Billy Rubin level is falling again and I'm only waking the folks once a night, so things are going well on the homefront!
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately (my calendar is pretty free these days) about what I'm going to call my grandparents. (They think it's up to them, but I'll be the judge of that!) My dad called his grandfather "Pappy" because Popeye was his favorite movie. He called his mother's mom "Ma" because that was easier to say than "Grandma." You wouldn't believe the choices that are out there. Check out the weird names for grandparents I found on the web:
Gigi, Boompa, Nappy, PamPaw, WaWa, Poppy, MopMop, Nini, Papaw, Memaw, Poppa, Nonno, Granpee, Grumppa, Oma, Opa, Moo, Crappa, Nonny, Papps, and my favorite: Granny Fanny!

Am I Blue?
I'm not blue, it's just this Billy Blanket that makes me look blue!
When mom and I went to the Doc yesterday, he said my Billy Rubin levels were up again and sent me home with the blanket to help fix things.
On top of that, I'm back on the bottle! Doc wants me to drink this formula stuff for a while. That's okay because mom hasn't begun making the good stuff yet, anyway. (Probably because I made my entrance a couple of weeks early).
Other than that, I'm having a great time hanging around the house, eating, sleeping and swinging. What a life!

Free At Last! Free At Last!
The hospital released us at 5:00 this afternoon and we were home by 6:00! Praise the Lord!
My skin turned pink again and I don't have to use Billy's Blanket anymore!
There was a stork on the front lawn to greet us (see photos below). I got to try out my new swing and my first visitors were Grandpa and Grandmother (today's her birthday!). Dad let them hold me for a little while. Mom was plumb wore out and fell asleep in the recliner (she's had quite a week!)
I think I'm going to like my new home. You should see all the baby stuff they had waiting for me!
I got to meet my big sister tonight. She seems nice but she won't stop sniffing me and she has this long tail that keeps wagging back and forth. She seemed more excited than I was!
Mom and I have a doctor's appointment in the morning, so we both have to get some sleep. Dad has the week off, so he's going to drive us.
Thanks for all of your prayers! God is So Good!

Billy Rubin
Well, I'm still here in the hospital. Some guy named Billy Rubin came by today and now I have to wear his blanket until I can go home! (see photo below)
Dad says it has something to do with yellow skin and the blanket will help. All I know is that I'm ready to go home!
Somebody else needs our room, so I'm going back to the nursery in the morning and my parents will have to go home or crash in the waiting room. Mom says she's not leaving without me, so tomorrow should be an interesting day!
