Silly Mommy and Daddy

I forgot to post pictures of my meeting with Aunt Claudia S. I have two aunts named Claudia and I love them both.

My mommy is silly because she tries to dress me up to take pictures and it makes me angry. All I want is for her to feed me and snuggle. I'm not a doll!

Daddy is silly because he seems to have gotten Cesar Milan (The Dog Whisperer) and Harvey Karp (Happiest Baby on the Block) kind of confused. Doesn't he know you're supposed to shush babies, instead of making "ch" noises? For some reason he thinks that pointing his finger at me will get me to calm down also. It worked last night and it made mommy laugh so I guess he's not too far off.

Friends

We had more visitors this morning and I slept through most of the visit once again. Here I am with my friend Anneliese. Mommy enjoyed holding us!

Here I am in my favorite (and daddy's favorite) napping position.

Happy Baby

Apparently I met the Wises last night. I don't remember any of it because I slept the whole time, but daddy took a couple of pictures. Notice the Iowa State blanket.

Daddy went in to work this morning and I was wide awake so mommy decided to try out the Baby Einstein Play Gym. I loved it! It plays music and lights up, but my favorite toy is the red bird. It kind of looks like Cy. Mommy tried to catch my half smiles, but my expressions change pretty fast.

Mina the Milk Monster

I had my 2 week appointment today and I'm proud to say that I've put on about a pound in the last week. Mommy has been feeding me the good stuff. I don't have to go back to the doctor until the end of February since I did such a great job getting bigger.

I get to meet mommy and daddy's friends the Wises tonight. Maybe there will be some cute pictures to share tomorrow.

Daddy goes back to work tomorrow. We've had a lot of fun snuggly time this week.

Visitors

Grandpa and Grandma D came to visit with my great aunts yesterday afternoon. I loved getting passed around and posing for pictures even though I slept most of the time. Here I am with Grandpa D.

Here's Great Aunt Lois.

Here's Great Aunt Shirley.

Here I am with Mommy and Daddy. Mommy can't believe that I've already helped her lose over 20 pounds with all my nursing. No problem, Mom!

This is mommy and daddy's favorite baby item at the moment. They have my bouncer set up in my pack n' play and I sleep for 4 hour stretches at night now. I don't like to sleep flat on my back so this works great for the time being. I might decide to throw them a curve one of these nights.
