Peanut Shell Trial

Mommy's friend, Kristy, told her about this cool carrying sling called the "Peanut Shell." There I am inside. It was very comfortable. I can't wait to spend more time inside. It actually put me to sleep. Hopefully Mommy doesn't decide to put me in this during my WIDE awake time (8pm - 11pm).

Daddy + Boppy + me

Daddy + the Boppy + me = pure heaven..... Whoever thought of this wonderful pillow deserves an award. I can sleep for days right here.

Nana's favorite outfit

Nana told Mommy she liked this outfit so Mommy just had to have a picture of me in it to send her. Go figure the only one she could get during the daytime was of me sleeping.....

One of Nana's favorite pictures

I was still a little small in this picture but it was one of Nana's favorites. That's her holding me. I've since graduated from having to wear the hat every day. Now my head can breathe and my hair can grow.

The swing from Aunty Trish

I think I'm still a little small to use the swing Aunty Trish got me. I can't wait until I'm bigger. This thing's awesome. It swings side to side or front to back (depending on my mood). It also has music and a mobile. I'm so spoiled....

First family photo (other than in the hospital)

This is my family. It's the first picture of us together. We can't wait until I get a little bigger so we can have our picture taken again. We will be sure to send copies to our loved ones.

So cozy

Here I am tucked under Mommy's chin. I could sleep here for days.....

First bath at home (November 14th)

Alright, so maybe I lied about liking this bath thing. Maybe it just takes some getting used to. There's Daddy's hand. He's making sure that I'm safe and secure. I guess at least I smelled good afterward.....

Asleep in Nana's crib

Here I am fast asleep in Nana's crib. Would you believe she slept in this very same crib when she was a baby? Nana even made the sheets for the crib. Isn't she just wonderful?

Daddy and me

This is one of my favorite places to sleep in the afternoon. Pretty soon I'll be watching the Super Bowl in this very same place. Go PATS!!!

Tummy Time

As you can see, tummy time was a success! I am a week old in this picture and perfectly content with laying on my tummy.

Hello Aunty Trish

Aunty Trish just can't get enough of me. I like to fall asleep in her arms. She's such a great Aunt. Can't you see the joy in her face?

Gram and I

Gram's first grandchild, do you think I'm gonna be spoiled? She already can't get enough of me!

I love my Nana

Thankfully Nana was here for my birthday. She took her first flight to be here with me. I think she was a big help during labor and delivery.

So nice to be with Mommy

Ahhh.... I'm all clean and next to the best Mommy in the whole world. She is so happy to see me. I've been waiting 8 months to see what she looks like. I wonder if I'll look more like her or Daddy.

First bath

Wow, this shampoo stuff really smells nice. I think I could get the hang of this bath stuff!

Daddy, Mommy and I

One little happy family! Gheez, from the looks of Daddy, you'd think he was the one doing the pushing! Daddy was definitely nervous on my birthday. Mom kept calm and collected (with the help of Nana).

Not cleaned up yet

Here I am before the gracious nurses took me for my first bath. As you can see, I already like to sleep all the time.

Here I am

Mommy and Daddy expected my arrival on December 1st. Little did they know I was so anxious to see them! I arrived on November 7th. Good things really do come in small packages. I weighed a whopping 4 lbs, 6 oz and was 16 inches long.
