Social Pooper

Hello Monday. I've had a nice weekend.

Thursday morning I went to see my cousins and Aunt Shannon. Momma and I stayed with the two younger cousins while Aunt Shannon took my older cousin "to school". I took my nap that morning in my sling, snuggled up with Momma. In the afternoon, Momma told me we visited her Great Aunt Janice. I was napping so I didn't get to say hi. That evening I visited Grandma and Grandpa S and also hung out with Aunt Karen, Uncle Steve, and Great Aunt Lois. Momma said we need to enjoy the time we have with Uncle Steve and Aunt Karen because they are getting ready to move far away and we won't be able to see them as much.

Friday, Momma and I just stayed home and relaxed. I didn't take my naps so I was very "cranky" and tired when Daddy got home from work so he helped put me to bed.

Saturday, Momma and I watched Daddy's "football" shows but Momma said Daddy was at the Buckeyes game. I was upset and didn't nap that morning because I didn't want to miss the Buckeyes game. Momma finally let me sit in the swing and watch TV. Soon after the game started, I took a nice afternoon nap. Momma put me to bed before Daddy got home, but Daddy came and gave me my evening snack.

Sunday, we were out and about all day. We went to church in the morning and I saw Great Grandma Moyer and heard Daddy singing. We visited Grandma and Grandpa M for lunch and then Momma and Daddy went to cantata practice in the afternoon. I took all my naps. After Momma and Daddy's cantata practice we saw my cousins and Aunt Shannon and Uncle Aaron. I was ready for bed so we went home so I could get my bath and go to sleep.

Momma told Daddy I'm a "social pooper". Thursday I pooped at Aunt Shannon's house and at Grandma S's house. Sunday I pooped at church and at Grandma M's house. I feel better after I poop.

I'm going to take a nap in my swing now.

Do they make skinny jeans for infants?

I had my 2 month appointment today. I met Dr. Beck. Daddy said he went to see Dr. Beck when he was little too. He was very nice and told Momma she was doing a good job taking care of me.

I weighted 10lbs and 14oz. I only gained 4oz since last time but Dr. Beck said as long as I keep gaining and looking so healthy, that is okay. I was 24 1/4 inches long and my head is 39 inches round.  Daddy says I have a Moyer head and Steiner body.

Dr. Beck told Momma I should eat sitting up and then stay sitting up until I burp good. This should help me not spit up as much and have less gas. He also told Momma to keep away from milk still but maybe in a month she can have some if I start gaining good again.

Dr. Beck also told Momma that the strawberry on my eyelid will probably never go away completely but it will get lighter. The redness between my eyes will probably be gone in a month or two.

I also had to get shots today. Momma said they are vaccines to help me stay healthy. It hurt so I screamed but Momma held me and gave me lots of kisses until I felt all better.


I started sleeping less during the day and it was making me very upset. Momma kept thinking I was just happy to be awake and tried to play more with me but really I just wanted to sleep more. She read a book to help her better understand me and now she is putting me to bed earlier and helping me sleep more during the day. It is good because now when I'm awake I feel happy and like to smile and laugh more. I was awake while at the grocery store with Momma today and was all smiles for everyone that stopped to talk to me.

Night, night for now.

Two months old...

I'm two months old today. I'll have my two month check-up on Wednesday.

I don't sleep as much as I use to, but I still enjoy a good nap. I also really enjoy my bath.

I don't like to have my clothes changed and milk still makes my tummy hurt. I'd always prefer to stay in and relax at home but I like to see new faces now and then too.

Momma says I'm almost in all 3-6 months clothes now but I'm still so long and skinny, my jeans don't fit round my middle.

I'm discovering new things each day.

Feeling Better

After lunch yesterday I took a couple long naps, which really helped me feel so much better. I ate a big supper then went back to bed. When Momma came in to give me my "top off" snack I had a stinky diaper for her to change. Once I was all clean and filled up, I slept very well the rest of the night.

Daddy said he is feeling better to. He still said he will wait to cuddle with me until he is even better but he did come in rub my back before he left for work.

I'm going to go snuggle in my bed and take a nap for now.

Rocky Road...

It's been a rough couple of days. Yesterday my tummy hurt and I was hungry every two hours. I would just get off to a good nap and then my tummy would start to hurt or rumble. I would yell and momma came and gave me some food and Mylicon. I never was able to get a good nap. Then in the middle of the night my tummy started rumbling again and I had to wake momma up to get some food. After momma feed me last night I was happy and kept smiling at her but she didn't look very excited. She put me back to bed instead of playing and talking to me. I went back to sleep and felt a little better when I woke up again. Now my tummy is hurting again and it's still making it hard to go to sleep. I hope it starts to feel better today.


Momma put me in my bouncy seat this morning while she ate breakfast, except this time she put a bar around the top that made noise and had fish and lights. It was a little more noise then I liked but the fish and bubbles were very nice. Momma said she will turn off the music next time so I can just watch the bubbles and fish without all the noise.

Daddy said he also doesn't feel good. He said he has a "sore throat" and a "runny nose" and can't give me kisses until he feels better. He was awake too last night when I was eating. Daddy told Momma he just was having trouble breathing. I hope he feels better soon too so we can cuddle.

I'm going to try to get a nap now.

Good Morning Monday

Mondays are nice. Momma doesn't wake me up early, make me rush around or get dressed up, we don't usually have to go out; Momma and I just hang out at home. Daddy goes to work but when he comes home, he spends extra time just talking and cuddling with me.

This weekend was busy. Friday night, momma and daddy went "out to eat". I saw my friend Emma and her big sister and I met Momma and Daddy's friends Matt and Emily. Momma said they are going to have a baby and that its special to see them because they live far away. I thought they were very nice and momma took my picture with Matt.

Saturday morning daddy took me to meet the lady that helped momma the day I arrived. Then she helped momma relax with a massage while daddy and I spent the morning hanging out back home. Saturday was also "game day" again and Grandma and Grandpa S came and watched TV with me.

Sunday morning we rushed around, not my favorite thing to do, and went to church. I heard daddy singing with some of his friends there. The singing was very nice and then I took a nap. When I woke up again I didn't know where I was; there were nice ladies that held me until my momma and daddy came. I also saw some of my friends there too. Momma said that I was "in the nursery". I also saw my Great Grandma Moyer before we left church. She is very nice. This is a picture of us from last weekend.

That afternoon, I went to see Aunt Shannon, Uncle Aaron, and my cousins. Momma and daddy said they were going to "cantata practice". Aunt Shannon and Uncle Aaron took good care of me, even changing my stinky diaper. I took a nap there even though there was so many new things to see. When I woke up, Aunt Shannon and Uncle Aaron fed me and they cuddled with me. They are very nice. After supper, momma and daddy came back and we went home.

After such a busy weekend, I went to bed early last night and momma said I slept for almost 11 hours. I feel much more rested now but might take a quick nap before my morning snack.

These last few weeks...

Yum, Yum. My snack was yummy.

The next couple weeks after my one month appointment were a little rough. Momma kept trying to get me to lay on my stomach but I just didn't want to. On September 29th, momma put me on my tummy again and I just decided to roll over to my back. Momma was super excited and ran around saying "good job baby". Later that week I smiled at her and then daddy and they both were very excited about it. Now I'll smile at almost anyone if I'm in the right mood.

That weekend, momma and daddy took me back to church and we spent nearly the whole weekend there. There were a lot of people and there was always someone to hold me while I wasn't sleeping.

This last week was a little rough. My momma said I'm having a "growth spurt" which is why I'm sleeping so much and extra hungry. She told my doctor that I'm out growing me clothes but momma seems pretty happy that I'm sleeping so long, about 9-10 hours, at night.

I'm going to watch the game with Grandma and Grandpa S now who came to visit. So long for now.

Hi Big World!

Hi Big World. I've only been here a short time but I'm really enjoying each day and the new experiences. I'm over a month old so let me start out telling how the first couple weeks have gone.

My momma went to the hospital to get things started early on August 19th. She worked hard and I didn't make it easy but by lunchtime I had arrived. They say I was a "big boy". I wasn't super happy at first but each day it gets a little better.

At the hospital I met lots of nice ladies. They helped my momma and daddy to take care of me before leaving. I also met two ladies named "Grandma" and to guys named "Grandpa". I also met a few cousins, aunts, uncles and some of momma and daddy's friends.

Before we left the hospital I got all strapped into my spaceship and away we went. Momma and Daddy took me to a place they called "Home". It was bigger than the room at the hospital but still pretty comfortable. Before I was even out of my spaceship I met to kittys named "Eddie" and "Tatum".

Over the next few days I spent a lot of time sleeping and learning my way around home. My new bed was big at first but before long it felt just right. My momma said I slept a lot because of "jaundice". I kept having to go back to the doctor so he could poke at me. I guess because I slept so much I didn't eat enough and then I had to go to the doctor to get on the "scale". Before a month old though, I figured it all out and didn't have to go back to the doctor so much.

When I was just a couple weeks old, momma took me to visit daddy at work. I met more people who said I was "cute". That week I also got a picture with the doctor who helped me arrive and visited momma's work to see her friends there. That weekend, momma woke me up and told me it was "game day" and put me in my first Ohio State outfit to "watch the game". I didn't see anything that special about the day; I slept most of it anyway. Now almost every weekend momma wakes me up to "it's game day baby" and puts me in one of few "special OSU shirts". I really don't see what all the fuss is about; its the day daddy likes to watch lots of the same show on TV all day long. He keeps telling me someday I'll understand and seems pretty excited about it.

The next weekend my momma and daddy took me to this placed called "church" where a bunch of people kept looking at me and telling momma I was "very precious". I also went to the "fair" that weekend. It was very very noisy. Momma seemed most excited about the food and daddy talked to a bunch of different people he knew.

So that was my first month. I'll touch back after my afternoon snack and let you know how the last three and half weeks have been.
