I had a Big Day!

Daddy spent a lot of time with me today. He was the first person I saw when I woke up and he even gave me my bath before bed. Momma was gone for most of the morning and when she came home her hair looked different. I like it though because she still looks like my Momma.

Today was also the Ohio State and Michigan game. Daddy said it was Ohio State's "rivalry" game, though it's not much of a "rivalry" when Ohio State was sure to win. I didn't watch very much of the game because I took my nap until near the end. When I woke up, Grandma and Grandpa S had come to see me. Momma said I should say "Happy Birthday" to Grandpa S because tomorrow is his "birthday". Momma and Daddy were happy that the Buckeyes won the game but my favorite part was talking with Grandma S. Momma took this video.

After Grandma and Grandpa S left, I took a short nap while Momma and Daddy talked about a new bed for me. After I ate super, while Daddy put together my new bed, we all went to the store to get a "mattress" for my new bed. I don't know why I have a new bed but so far it's seems really nice. Here is a photo of Daddy putting my new bed together while I watched him.

I'm 3 Months Old

Today is my 3 month birthday. Momma took me to see Dr. Orr today. She checked me all out and told Momma that I'm looking really good (I could have told her that). I weighed 12 lbs, 3.5 oz (25%) and I am 25.5 inches long (90%). My head is 40.7 cm around. Dr. Orr was very nice lady and told Momma to keep up with nursing me and not to worry about my weight because I'm "on a good curve now." Momma asked a bunch of questions and then put me back in my clothes so we could go home.

I really like to sit in the swing and play with my hands or my blanket. I also like to sit with Momma or Daddy and talk to them about my day. They laugh and I give them big smiles back. I also like to look at Momma and me in the mirror or to splash away in my bath before bed. I still don't like to lay on my belly very long and milk still makes my tummy hurt.


Here is a video Momma took of me on Tuesday.

I'm going to take a quick nap now before supper.

Happy Birthday Kayla

This week I started trying to sit up all by myself when I sit on Momma's lap. I also like to move around when Momma lays me on the floor. I rock and kick my legs until I get just where I want to be. I also really like to laugh at Daddy when he makes funny faces at me.


Today I went to my first ever "craft show" with Momma and Daddy. Momma said it will probably be the only one I ever go to, at least until I'm "grown up". Momma let me sleep in my sling. I also sat up in my stroller for a while and watched all the people walking by and smiling at me. Daddy said the craft show was "a success" because we didn't bring very many boxes home.

We also went to Aunt Shannon and Uncle Aaron's house after the craft show. It was my cousin Kayla's birthday so she was allowed to have cake for the first time. I slept the whole time but Momma and Daddy said it was nice to see everyone including my Gr. Grandma M and Gr. Grandma and Grandpa H. My cousins were very excited about what Kayla recieved for her birthday. Momma said that before too long it will be my turn to have a birthday party and eat cake.

We missed most of the game today because of the craft show but Momma said that the Buckeyes did win. Daddy said next weekend is a very important Buckeyes game, my first "Michigan verses Ohio State" game.

Momma likes my tummy

I have had a few new experiences this weekend -
Today I went to my first "shower". It was for daddy's cousin Maegan who is going to have a baby. Momma said that normally just girls go to showers but because I'm so little still, I can go too. I saw my cousins and Aunt Shannon. I also saw Grandma M and Gr. Grandma M. Daddy's Aunt Mary Ann held me for a while.

Yesterday I want to visit the "vet" for the first time. We had to take Momma's kitty Tatum with us. No one really talked to me, so I just took a nap.

It was nice to get out and about because Daddy was gone these last few days. Momma said he went "hunting" with his friends, but that he would be home when I wake up in the morning.


Thursday I went back to see Dr. Beck. I weighed 11 pounds and 6 ounces. Momma and Daddy were very excited and said I was "on track to gain a pound in one week". Dr. Beck told them that I was looking good and to keep feeding me at night. Next time I go to the doctor I will be 3 months old and I will get to meet Dr. Orr.

Momma has been sitting me up after I eat and rubbing my tummy. She said she really likes that my tummy is getting a little pudgier, and my pants are fitting a little better too.

Night, Night.

I like to sleep!

Another busy weekend with so much excitment.

Saturday was game day - Daddy dressed me in my red Buckeyes shirt, but Momma and Daddy were excited about other things.

First we went to visit Dr. Beck. He wanted to check my weight because Momma told him I wasn't asking for food at night. I like to sleep and was happy to sleep from 6:30 at night until 8 or 9 in the morning. My weight was down to 10 pounds and 9 ounces. Dr. Beck told Momma and Daddy to start feeding me again at night. Momma told Daddy tonight that I look like I'm "plumping up nicely".

Next we drove to Toledo. Momma was excited about getting a "crib". I still don't know what it is but Daddy loaded a big box in the back of the truck. It's now sitting by the TV downstairs. And then finally, we went home and watched the Buckeyes game.

After my afternoon nap, we went to a fall party with a bunch of Momma and Daddy's friends. It was nice to see all my friends. Momma dressed me up as pea pod for the picture. My friend Henry was there and was dressed up like a frog.

Sunday was another busy day with church and Momma and Daddy's cantata practice. Today was a nice day at home with Momma. Goodnight.
