A Typical Day in My Life

The first few weeks after I was born I pretty much did the same things all day everyday. I liked to eat every three hours. Mommy and Daddy barely needed a watch because I was like a clock with my eating schedule.

Mommy would breastfeed me while I laid on my boppy.




When I was done eating, I was always really relaxed.



When I was done eating Mommy and Daddy would hang out in the basement watching TV while taking turns holding me.





Sometimes I would sleep in between eating. A lot of the time I would sleep on Mommy and Daddy.




Sometimes I would sleep in my downstairs bassinet. Daddy's friend Mike Wazowski gave it to me.



Sometimes after I ate I would just stay awake until it was time for me to eat again. I would just look around around or hang out in my vibrating chair.




I love my life!

First Stroll to Grandma and Grandpa's

When Grandma and Grandpa came home from the lake Mommy wanted to take me down to show them my 4th of July outfit. It was pretty nice outside so I got to go on my first long stroller ride. Up until then I had only gone to the mailbox and back. This time we got to walk all the way to Grandma and Grandpa's!







We're here!



Grandma was happy to see me!



I love to sit on Grandma's porch swing. I even like to sit out there when it's 100 degrees!



Grandpa and I were both looking very patriotic.



Minnie gets jealous when I sit with Grandma.

4th of July

Mommy had bought me a 4th of July onesie and a matching bib back when she was pregnant. She was disappointed that there was only one boy outfit and so many girl outfits. On the 4th of July she got me all dressed up.



Mommy and Daddy were pretty sad on the 4th of July because I was too little to go camping and that's what they always do. My Big Daddy and Abuelita had gone home, my Grandma and Grandpa were at the lake, and Nanny Tourney and Uncle Boy had gone to Texas. Mom was mostly disappointed because I was in my cute outfit and there was nobody around to see it.

Since I had pooped all over my bassinet sheet the night before, Mommy and Daddy finally decided that we would go on my first outing to Babies R Us so we could get a second bassinet sheet. Daddy was nervous about taking me out when I was so little, but I stayed in my carseat and away from all the germs.

Here I am in my carseat on the way to the store.



Me and Daddy at Babies R Us.



We decided to go to Target after Babies R Us. Daddy wanted to take my stroller in. Then he realized there was nowhere to put the stuff we were buying! So Daddy had to push the stroller and Mommy had to push a cart.

I love Target!



Mommy loves when I cross my legs like this.



After our shopping trip, Daddy wanted a brownie fudge sundae. When we got to Braums on Douglas he was surprised to see there was no drivethru. Daddy went in and got him and Mommy their sundaes while Mommy and I sat in the car.

This is the blanket Mommy sewed for me to use on the 4th of July. I had a matching burp cloth too.

Long Hair

My hair is so long. If I don't get a haircut soon, I'm going to have a mullet!

My First Bath

Mommy and Daddy did not do a very good job on my first bath. They didn't really know what they were doing. They took way too long and I got cold so I screamed the whole time. I hope they learn from their mistakes!





After the bath, Mommy got me all dressed up. I looked so cute! Too bad she had to take my outfit off when it was time for bed. It's just too hot to wear long sleeves and pants to bed.



This was the first time Mommy got to style my hair after a bath. She spiked it up. I look so cool with my spike!



After getting all ready for bed, I sat in my vibrating chair to help me fall asleep.

Coming Home from the Hospital

Daddy wasn't too happy the next day at the hospital when we found out we weren't going to get to go home. Mommy didn't mind though. She was happy to have another day where her meals were delivered to her!

I had some more people come visit me the next day. Mommy's friend, Danielle, that she went to college with came to see me. Shockingly, mommy didn't get a picture of her. Mommy's friend Crystal and her mom Jamie came to visit too.



Mommy was excited to put our matching nightgowns on that she had bought us while she was pregnant. I thought my gown was a little girly, but I'll do anything for mommy.




Daddy and I struggled to get sleep in the hospital. It seemed like as soon as we fell asleep, a nurse would come in to check my temperature and wake me up!



Finally it was time to go home! Daddy was so happy!



I got dressed in my nice Longhorn hat and headed home.



For now, I sleep in a bassinet in mommy and daddy's bedroom. Would you believe that daddy is the one who swaddles me? He is the best baby burrito wrapper in the world!



Mommy and daddy were so glad that my Big Daddy and Abuelita stayed for a few days after we got home. Abuelita was a great helper! She would hold me so they could rest. And she would make the best meals. Big Daddy was a great helper too. He pulled all the awful weeds out of mommy's garden while we were in the hospital. I miss them already. I can't wait to see them again.

I'm Taking Over

Well, my mommy takes too long to get this thing updated so I'm going to take over from here. Let's see, she left off with me being born. After they let me lay on my mommy for a little bit and eat my first meal, the nurse did all kinds of mean things to me.

They put ointment in my eyes and gave me a vitamin K shot. I didn't like that at all.



Then they got my footprints.




Next it was bathtime. First, Nurse Katy washed my hair in the sink. Everyone kept saying that I have so much hair! I loved having my hair washed. I just layed there in her arms relaxing.





After she was done washing my hair she put me in a little tub of water. I hated this part!



I was pretty tired after my bath. I didn't get much rest though. Everyone wanted to come visit me!

My Uncle Boy came up.


My Grandpa brought me my first Mickey balloon. Mommy said it won't be my last. I have a feeling she loves this Mickey Mouse person.



My Grandpa even drew Mickey Mouse on the whiteboard in our room.



My Great Grandpa and Vivian came up too.



I'm the fourth generation!



My cousin, Halie, came to see me.



She brought me a little toy.



My mommy's friend, Loni, from college came up.



My daddy's friends, The Gieblers, came to visit too.



Daddy, Grandpa, and Mark had bubble gum cigars that said, "It's a Boy!"



Finally, the people I'd waited all day to meet got there. My Big Daddy and Abuelita.
