Sip and see

Today I went to a party to meet more of my family and friends. Mommy said that Kim was so excited to host everyone at her house just to meet me but I think she had alterior motives ... big words for a 6 week old huh?

We love zombies like zombies love brains

Aunt Allison set up a fall scene for me to take pictures in my Halloween dress. Good thing I've been practicing my zombie pose. Mmmmm... brains! Click here and see if you can spot all my impressions of the undead.

Trip to Gigi and Popo's house

Daddy had to go out of town for the first time this week. He is going to miss me so much. Because I need so much attention, Mommy took me to Gigi and Popo's house for the week. It turns out that Popo likes to take naps just as much as I do.

Sloane comes to visit

Today some of mommy and daddy's friends came over and they brought a playmate. She was so tall and was walking around like mommy and daddy. I can't wait until I can do that ... I have some electrical sockets I want to check out. Here is a picture of my new friend Sloane.

Today I'm One Month Old!!!

This month has been so much fun. I got to meet Mommy and Daddy as well as lots of family and friends. Gigi made a brownie cake to celebrate my one month birthday. Mommy said that she can't beleive how much I've grown and changed over the last month. I'm so excited to see what's in store for next month. Here are more pictures of the celebration.

I Wasn't Supposed To Be Born Until Today....

I wasn't actually suppposed to see the world until today, but I just couldn't wait. Today there was a parade by my house, so Mommy, Daddy, Gigi, Popo and I went to watch it. After the parade there was a celebration in the park by my house so we went there for a little while. Everyone got to eat snowcones, I can't wait until I'm old enough to have one.

I Might Be Growing But....

my clothes are still a little too big. That's ok, soon I'll grow into them. I went to the doctor today for him to check my weight. He said that I gained just the right amount. I now weigh 6 pounds and 14 ounces!!!

Boy Are We Tired!

Daddy has now been back at work for a week. When he comes home at night he's tired, so we decided to take a nap together. We like taking naps together.

Yay, More Family!

Jill, Kasey and Christian came to visit today. I was so excited that I got to meet more family, especially Christian. I know when I get a little older we will have lots of fun playing together. I was still very tired when they came, but I tried to open my eyes for a little while to say hello.

My First Bath

My umbilical cord fell off today. I'm so excited, because that means that Mommy and Daddy can give me a real bath. I thought that it would be fun, but boy was I wrong....It was so cold I cried the whole time.

Another Trip To The Doctor...

We visited Dr. Injac again today so that he could do my two week checkup and see how much weight I've gained. I can't believe that I've been here for two weeks already. The doctor told me everything looks great!! I've gained 6 oz and now weigh 5 pounds and 14 ounces. That means that I am in the 3 to 10 percentile for all babies my age. I guess I'm a little small, but I'll catch up soon!!! They also measured my height again and said that I'm 19 inches, which means that I'm in the 25th percentile. Now we are going to Mommy's doctor. Hopefully her doctor will think she's doing as well as me!!

Cousins Come to Play

This weekend, Mimi and Grandpa came to our house to play; along with Uncle Scott and Aunt Ellen. I also met my three first cousins: Daniel, Joshua and Emma! We had a fun time playing and Mimi helped decorate my room some more. Check out some pictures!

My Newborn Photoshoot

I had a fun time today at Kat's Photography. We drove really far to League City to get my pictures taken. I tried on a lot of outfits including a flower pot ... if you can call that an outfit. It didn't bother me much as I slept through the entire photo shoot (except for that time I woke up to vomit all over Carina's set). Enjoy my photos!

Another checkup..

We went back to the doctor today so that he could make sure that I got rid of all that biliruben that was making me so sleepy. He pricked my foot again. It hurt more today than yesterday, so I let Mommy and Daddy know! The doctor told me that I'm doing much better. Thank goodness now maybe they won't have to prick my foot again.

My First Doctor's Appointment

Mommy, Daddy and I had our first outing today. We went to visit my pediatrician Dr. Injac this morning. He weighed me and I was 5 pounds, 9 ounces. He told me that I needed to eat a little more. I'll try, but I'm just so sleepy!!

He also pricked my foot to test me for jaundice. Ouch! That hurt, but I didn't cry too much. He said that I needed to have phototherapy to get rid of the biliruben...wait who's that? Sounds like someone to play with. Apparently, biliruben is something bad in my body, so they are going to deliver a biliblanket to my house this afternoon. Daddy says that I have to have these lights because I'm star, but I don't think that I really like these lights. I think that they make me look silly, what do you think?

We Get to Leave the Hospital

Yay! I can't wait to go home and see my new room. Daddy painted my room and already put together my bed but it still needed some of Mommy's help with decorating. While we were waiting to be discharged from the hospital, Popo and Gigi were finishing getting my new room ready ... ok Popo was sleeping on the couch with Uncle Aaron while Gigi was preparing things upstairs.

Daddy was a little worried driving with me in the child seat for the first time but we made it home safely and I got to play with my toys! (More pictures)

Look at My New Family and Friends!

Mommy and Daddy were supposed to go to child birth classes today but I really wanted to meet all of my new family and friends. Now that I'm here, Gigi and Popo came back to visit me with Uncle Allan and Aunt Allison. Also, Amanda and Dorothy stopped by to say hello. Look at all of the pictures that we took when they came to visit me in the hospital.

My First Day

A nice lady from the hospital came by today to take my picture. I was very sleepy but I managed to open my eyes for a few pictures. Mommy dressed me in a pretty dess that we purchased in Burano, Italy where they make things out of lace. Take a look at all of the pictures she took of me when I was only 36 hours old.

Ready or Not, Here I Come!

Yesterday, Mommy and I were at Pappasitto's Mexican Cantina for a happy hour celebrating Mommy's co-worker's promotion. Mommy had just placed a to-go order so we could eat dinner at home with Daddy. He was in Dallas for work and was sitting on the runway waiting to fly home. But that food smelled so good and the party sounded like so much fun, I wanted to join in on the action.

When Mommy was about to leave, her water broke and I was on my way. Mommy's co-workers were so excited and Christina offered us a ride to the hospital. She and Amanda kept Mommy company while Daddy rushed to the hospital. Daddy was sure glad that Gigi and Popo came too, because I think that he was a little scared and didn't know what to do.

At 1:15 am, Mommy's doctor found out that I was breach and 40 minutes later I had arrived. I was born at 1:55am and weighed 6 lbs and 1 oz and was 18 inches long. Gigi and Popo went with me to NICU so that they could check me out. Although I was early, I felt great and the doctors even said that they were amazed at how well I was doing. They only needed to monitor me for 6 hours and then they let me go to Mommy's room. Between Mommy, Daddy, Gigi and Popo I never had to sleep in my crib. It was great!

It's a girl!

Today Mommy and Daddy took me to Texas Woman's Hospital and found out I'm a girl!! The doctor also took a lot of measurements with his computer to see how fast I was growing. He said that I am healthy and have a fully developed four chamber heart ... and long legs, imagine that! I bet I get that from my Daddy (I can't wait to meet him). Here are all my ultrasound pictures.
