Hanging out with Daddy

Sometimes me and Daddy play video games together. We just got a new game, Madden 2010. I like to watch him play. When I'm big I'm going to play football video games. Mommy says she will hate it when we are both playing Madden someday.

Mulvane Old Settler's Days

Yesterday my friend Ella and her mommy Sky went with us to the Mulvane Old Settler's Days. We all rode in my Mom's car.

Photobucket

First we watched a parade. Well, I kind of slept through the parade.

Photobucket

Then we went to see Mom's friend, Crystal at her wagon. They sell yummy food! Mommy and Sky had fried peaches, shrimp, catfish, and chicken.

Mommy loved Ella's Minnie Mouse dot outfit.

Photobucket

Too bad she pooped on it and had to change!

Photobucket

Finally I was the baby that wasn't making poop messes! That made Mommy happy!

Photobucket

After Mommy and Sky ate we walked around and looked at the craft fair booths. Mommy bought me a new Mickey Mouse bib. She also got me a Texas Longhorns car seat cover for the winter and a Longhorns neck cooler to use at Disney World. Hook em' Horns!

Just like on the way there, I slept the whole way home.

Uncle Boy's BBQ

On Friday night we went to my Uncle Boy's house for a BBQ. I definitely looked like I was ready to party with my shoes and my hat on!

Photobucket

Later that night, Mommy was looking at my hair. It's getting so long! I don't know if I can wait till Disney World to get a hair cut, but mom says I have to.

Bedtime

Guess who's the best at getting me to fall asleep? Daddy is! He carries me back and forth and sings to me. Sometimes he pauses to watch tv.

Photobucket

I get mad when I'm not ready to go to sleep, but Mom and Dad make me anyway. I guess they are tired from going back to work.

Photobucket

When Daddy gets me calmed down, he puts me in my swaddle and lays me in my bassinet. Goodnight!

Back to Work for Mom and Dad

Last Monday, Mom and Dad had to go back to work. I missed them, but it wasn't too bad because my Grandma comes over to take care of me. I'm pretty lucky to have a Grandma that is willing to quit her job to take care of me instead!

I sit in my boppy on the bed while Mom gets ready. Well, usually I do. Sometimes I'd rather be held so she puts me in the Baby Bjorn and wears me while she gets ready. I like to be close to her!

Photobucket

Mommy was sad to leave me.

Photobucket

I love seeing Grandma every day!

Photobucket

Grandma has been dressing me up and making me look so handsome!

Photobucket

Mommy loves this outfit!

My First Real Bath

On August 5th, Mommy gave me my first real bath without my sling where I sat in a tub of water. I really liked it! It was nice and warm. I liked kicking my feet in the water.

Photobucket

Mommy's friend Melanie helped with my bath this time.

Photobucket

Isn't my towel so cute?

My First Trip to Frederick

On July 29th, we packed up and headed to Frederick, OK to visit my Big Daddy and Abuelita. It is a four hour drive. I slept most of the way. I only woke up once to eat and once to have my diaper changed.

Photobucket

Abuelita had written me a message on her chalkboard.

Photobucket

I was happy to see her again!

Photobucket
Photobucket

I was happy to see Big Daddy too!

Photobucket

There isn't much to do in Frederick. It's a small town. One thing we did was walk clear to the end of Big Daddy's long driveway and get the mail.

Photobucket

I liked helping with the mail.

Photobucket

We also went to Cold Front Express for some shaved ice. We went there almost every day! They have tons of flavors!

Photobucket

Daddy always gets Silver Fox with lime. Mommy branched out on this trip and tried something different everytime we went. I can't wait till I can eat a shave ice. Mommy says it's the best part of going to Frederick!

Photobucket

On Saturday while we were in Frederick, Big Daddy and Abuelita had a big BBQ so all the Nevarez family could come meet me.

Photobucket

Daddy decorated the cake because the people at Sams were too slow. Mommy thought it looked awful, but I don't see anything wrong with it.

Photobucket

I got to meet a lot of my family members that live in Oklahoma and some from Texas. Here I am with my Great Aunt Vickie.

Photobucket

I didn't really sleep very well when we were in Frederick. I missed my bassinet. I spent most of the nights crying. It wore Mom and Dad out. I was so tired I would sleep during the day. Here I am sleeping with my Uncle Boy.

Photobucket

I also got to see my cousins that live in Dallas for the first time while we were in Frederick. This is my cousin Zain with Nanny Tourney.

Photobucket

And this is my cousin Zacchaeus with Abuelita.

Photobucket

Big Daddy and Abuelita have three grandsons now. Mommy hopes they can have a granddaughter someday. I don't know about that. I like it being just boys!

Photobucket

I hate needles!

Shortly after I was born, Mom and Dad got a letter in the mail that the hospital hadn't drawn my blood correctly for my newborn screening tests so I had to have it redone. They weren't very happy because the nurse had done it twice at the hospital and it really hurt me.

Mom and Dad had to take me to the doctor's office to get my blood drawn. The good part about going to the doctor was finding out how much I weighed and how long I was. I now weigh 10 lbs and 5.5 oz and I'm 21 3/4 inches long. That means I've gained almost 3 lbs and 3 inches! I'm really growing! That made Mommy happy!

After the fun part of finding out how big I was, it was time for the bad part. First the nurse put a hot pack on my foot to numb it a little bit.

Photobucket

Then the nurse pricked my heel and squeezed and squeezed to get blood out of it. She was so slow that it dried up and she had to prick my other heel. It was awful! I sure hope I don't have to have it done again. I think if they do, Daddy might go off on someone! At least that's what he was saying that day!!

Me and Mommy's Party

Grandma and Grandpa threw a big party for Mommy's master's graduation and for the extended family to meet me. It was a fun BBQ!

The cake was neat because it had a picture of Mommy and Me on it.

Photobucket

Grandma and Grandpa bought Mommy a patio furniture set. I was happy because Mommy and Daddy didn't have anywhere to sit outside and I love to sit outside.

Photobucket

I met a lot of family members. I was passed around all day long! It wore me out so I slept most of the time.

My Great Aunt Lori

My Great Auntie Barbara

My cousin Kristie

Photobucket

All my bigger cousins got to swim. Next summer maybe I'll be big enough to swim in Grandma and Grandpa's pool.

Photobucket

Grandpa gave the kids rides in his lawn tractor trailer.

Photobucket

Even my Great Uncle David got in on the fun! I wish I was big enough to ride in the trailer

Photobucket

After everyone went home my Grandpa wanted me to take a ride on my Harley.

Photobucket

I wasn't the only one that was tired. My Daddy fell asleep on the couch while Mommy helped clean up.
