Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Mine started on Tuesday when Granny arrived back to play. Grumps and Uncle Obbie arrived to join the celebration on Wednesday. Uncle Obbie likes to snuggle with me. We miss Aunt Blake. We are excited to see lots more family for Christmas including Aunt Blake's Mommy and Daddy. I am told they are excited to meet me. Grumps likes to hold me. He admires my reddish hair while I sleep. No one is sure what color my hair will be in the end. Same goes for my eyes that are still blue for the moment.

Here I am in my outfit for Thanksgiving. There are even Turkeys on my feet. What was Mommy thinking? I am in my carseat which is currently my favorite place to sleep. I am still fighting sleeping in my crib, but I sleep pretty well if Mommy takes me for a drive before bed. Mommy and Daddy welcome any tips to help me figure out the sleep thing :)

One Month and One Day

I made it to one month yesterday, but I kept Mommy so busy it took her until today to post my birthday pictures. They have decided to take my picture next to these two penguins, but they can't decide which version they like better. I am certainly getting much bigger.

My Aunt Jeannie from Mommy's work came to meet me today. She was very good at calming me down.

Mommy's friend Jill came and brought me a friend, Sydney, to play with. She and Mommy met in prenatal yoga classes and I was born one week after Sydney on her due date.

This is a picture of me and Sydney together in bed. She was smaller when she was born, but she is working hard at catching up. She reminded Mommy of what it used to feel like to hold me.

Four Weeks!

I made it to four weeks! I weigh over nine pounds and the doctor is thrilled. Mommy is realizing that all that time spend feeding working. Now if I would let her sleep :) Here I am in my swing. You can see I am taller.
I am almost as long as my friend Lulu!

I like to dance with my daddy when I am mad.

Lots of Pictures

We have had a busy week and with the departure of Grandma and Grandpa (Wood) I have been keeping Mommy and Daddy pretty busy. I also got a stuffy nose that has made sleeping and eating a bit trickier so they have not had a lot of sleep. They are very excited that Granny (Ashe) is on a plane on her way here to help this week. Anyway Mommy is finally getting to posting pictures of all sorts of fun things.
Mommy was excited to learn that I like riding around in this thing. She even let me have my head showing for this picture though I have to have support for now.
Grandpa let me take a nap on him. There was a funny noise while I was sleeping...I think he was snoring :)

I still like throwing my head back. My hair is not so red in person as in pictures, but we shall see.

Daddy gave me my first bottle. Mommy took lots of pictures. She had to work hard to get me the bottle :)

I also got to meet Fran this week. She teaches with Mommy. She misses Mommy at work, but let me nap on her. Next time I promise to wake-up to play with her. Mommy loved having visitors from outside to hear about the news.

THREE WEEKS!

At three weeks I find looking at myself lots of fun. I have enjoyed having Daddy's parents here. Grandpa Dave is the king of getting me to calm down and Grandma NeNe has been cooking up a storm for Mommy and Daddy. We will miss them lots when they go.

Tummy Time and More Visitors

I forgot to mention that I got to meet CJ and his parents this morning too! He is a baby like me but much bigger at 11 weeks old. He told me about the cool places I will get to go. It was a very busy day around here. Mommy also wanted to post this cute picture of me learning to use my neck during tummy time. I am actually starting to like it.

Lots of Visitors and a New Toy

I have decided I like my toy penguin. It is the first thing I have "played" with. It kept me happy for quite awhile last night.
I met my cousin Denise today. She is great. She promised to take me shopping and I can only hope to dress like she does.

This is my Great Uncle Victor, Grumps' brother. He came all the way from Poland to see me.

Here is my Uncle Daniel who finally had his picture taken holding me. He has met me several times, but we finally got our picture taken together today.

A bath and Daddy's Daddy

I am not convinced that I like these bath things. Drying off may be the best part.
This is Daddy's Daddy who arrived today. He is still deciding what I am going to call him :) I was happy to nap on him during what has been a very sleepy day after one filled with eating yesterday. They are talking about a growth spurt around here.

Too cute!

Grandma and I are having a great time. She is helping mom lots by keeping her fed and the laundry done plus she holds me a lot :)!
Daddy has his own special way of making sure I don't roll off the couch while we watch Seinfeld together.

I am very curious about the world around me.

Happy Election Day

Happy Election Day to all. Mommy and Daddy tell me we are going to make history one way or the other. They don't seem to agree about who to vote for. They said something about cancelling each other out. :) They did thank me because I got them to vote early and so they avoided the long lines. Everyone is excited about the election! By the way they sang happy birthday to me in honor of my being two weeks old!

Welcome

Today brought my other Grandma from Atlanta. Daddy's mom came to help my mom this week. We were very excited to see her. She was excited to see me, but Catherine is still not sure what all the fuss is about.

A few more Halloween photos

Mommy and Daddy let me try out my big girl bed for part of a nap today. Apparently, I make lots of noise while I sleep and Mommy has a hard time sleeping.

Here is one of my other Halloween outfits from Aunt Lisa and Aunt Alex. I am enjoying myself.

This one came from Aunt Amanda and Aunt Megan. I wore it while Daddy answered the door for trick-or-treaters.
