YAY!

Grandma is on her way! I hope she drives safely. I'll definitely make it worth her while with smiles and cuddles.

Miss Grumpy Pants

Mommy told me that Grandma H might not come to stay with us because the roads are bad. I hope they improve! The pictures were my reaction when mommy told me she might not be here to snuggle me today. I'm a grumpy baby.

I had a very fun weekend with mommy and daddy. We went out for sushi on Saturday night. I slept the whole time, but boy did that milk taste good when we got home!

Mommy did some shopping for me this weekend. So far she hasn't bought anything, but she's going to get me an exersaucer soon. I love to kick daddy and mommy when they hold me so she thinks I need an outlet to exercise my legs. They also have some fun jumperoos and one even got 5 stars at BRU. Also, mom is curious about how she's going to feed me in a few months so she's going to buy Super Baby Food to learn all about baby nutrition. She's also giving in and getting a Baby Bjorn so that daddy can wear me. She's making herself a knockoff moby wrap sometime when grandma comes. Mommy should get sponsors for her website with all of her links!

Valentine's Day

I don't like Valentine's Day at all. I screamed most of the morning because mommy kept putting me down. She was baking goodies for daddy and cooking a dinner. She still hasn't figured out that I'm completely in charge. I settled down by the afternoon though and slept during most of her doctor appointment. I heard things like "stitches still there..it could take 6 months until you feel completely normal..you're healing well even though she did a number on you..this is to be expected with a forceps delivery." I was happy once daddy came home and we got out of the hospital. I can snuggle him without getting hungry from the way he feels and smells.

I'm in a great mood today. Mommy was able to get a bunch of pictures of me smiling after my first out of bed feeding this morning. I slept well last night and I'm wearing a cute outfit I got from my mommy's friend Jenny.

Also, mommy told me to tell you that she changed the settings so you can comment anonymously again (yes, my vocabulary is extensive). We like comments!

Funny Dream

Apparently I take after my mother when it comes to sleeping. She was holding me on Monday during my afternoon nap and I giggled in my sleep. I don't remember my dream, but it was very funny. Mommy thought it was the cutest thing in the world. Her roommate in college told her that she laughs in her sleep too.

We've had a boring few days just hanging out at home. This cold, snowy weather is getting old. I want to experience something new. Mommy has a doctor's appointment tomorrow so I'll get out of the house then. However, I don't enjoy my carseat or the car these days. I scream off and on when we go places. That will make things exciting for mommy tomorrow.

Baptism

I was baptised yesterday. Here I am with mommy and daddy. I like my pink and blue prayer shawl.My Godparents are Aunt Claudia and Uncle Matt, or GPs as the like to be called. They did a good job keeping me calm in church. Uncle Matt has the magic touch.I love my cousins. Here's a picture of me with Macy, Anya, and Hailey at the baptism luncheon. They were very good at holding me. I can't wait until I'm big enough to run around and play with them!
Gotta go...my diaper is dirty! Okay, I'm back. Here are a couple of pictures of me in my new favorite chair.

Proof of Sleep

Go Cyclones! This is my favorite fleece blanket that mommy made for me. She just got a piece of fleece from Hobby Lobby and blanket stitched the edges. That's a huge feat for her since she isn't a very crafty person. She bought some hot air balloon fabric today and needs to figure out a new project for me. Mommy has gotten better at sleeping with me. Daddy even took a picture of it the other day. We've taken naps together the last two afternoons. Unfortunately I haven't been sleeping long the last couple of nights because my diapers get dirty and it wakes me up. I go back to sleep pretty easily most of the time though so mommy and daddy don't mind. Well, except last night when mommy was confused and thought daddy woke me up for fun at about 2am.

We had fun visiting friends in Des Moines on Sunday. I slept through the Super Bowl and was admired by all. Mommy was so excited to see other adults that she forgot to take any pictures. My friend Gavin is loaning me his swing and mommy took a picture of me sleeping in it yesterday.Mommy and daddy continue to make me smile. Mommy thinks it's at least 10 times cuter in person, but here's a picture.

STTN?

Most people don't know what STTN stands for and up until this point, my parents haven't even been close to experiencing STTN with me. That all changed last night. STTN stands for Sleeping Through The Night. I decided to throw them a bone and let them get a good night's sleep. I ate from about 9:30-10pm, slept until about 4:30am, ate until about 5, then played in my play gym while mommy slept until about 7:30. That was a tremendous amount of sleep. However, mommy woke up at about 3:30am to check that I was breathing because her body told her it was time for me to eat.

Mommy has found a dependable way to get me to smile. Now she needs to figure out how to get a picture of it. I look even more like daddy when I have a big grin on my face. For some reason she can't get pictures to download right now so no new pictures for the moment. Sorry!

We're going to Des Moines tomorrow. It will be fun to see friends and do some shopping.
