One down, many more to go


Well, I am officially a month old today. Where has the time gone? I've been busy...eating, eating and more eating. Sometimes it's in the dark---according to Uncle Toadie! : ) I've been peeing in a lot in my diapers and Mommy or Daddy will change me. Then 5 minutes later I leave them a present. I've been busy meeting Mommy and Daddy's friends and being held by them. I've also enjoyed meeting my family. I've gotten my Mommy and Daddy a few times by peeing or pooping on them and then I've got to be changed. Daddy has been busy doing LOTS of laundry. He's still trying to figure out if Mommy or I have more laundry. I've gone to Atlanta for a memorial service for my Great Granddad Freddie. I've had lots of books read to me and enjoy listening to music during my wake time. I'm still trying to get used to liking tummy time. I've been to Charleston, SC to meet my Auntie Sue, Uncle Toadie and Cousin Tay-Tay. I'm learning how to "talk" with Mommy and Daddy. I'm beginning to "smile"--okay, so I've got a little gas or I'm having a good dream, but don't tell Mommy and Daddy. I lost my umbilical cord which meant I was ready for a real bath. Mimi gave me my first bottle. I had my feet pricked more times than I can count--okay, so I can't count very high--it still hurt!! I spent two days on a bilirubin blanket. I helped Mommy and Daddy celebrate their 6th anniversary! I went to church. I went to an aquarium and slept through it all. I've gone on a few lunch dates with Mommy and Daddy. I've gone to Daddy's work, which often led to Mommy doing some shopping. I've also gone to Mommy's work to meet the ladies in the front office. I've had LOTS of pictures taken of me---I know how Brittany Spears feels like! I visited Papa T at his work. I've talked with Papa and Mimi over the computer. I still fight Mommy and Daddy about going to sleep at night. I'm only a month old and my life has been pretty busy. I have a feeling it is going to continue to be busy because the next two weekends Mommy and Daddy are taking me to St. Matthews, SC and Reston, VA. Daddy is being interviewed for possible positions at these churches. Please say a prayer that Daddy gets a position, so my Mommy doesn't have to go back to work in a few weeks. I want to say thank you for all the prayers that have been said on my behalf. Mommy and Daddy keep saying that they are so thankful for me and how good of a baby I am. I'm going to keep trying to be a better sleeper, but until I get it worked out say some prayers for my Mommy and Daddy.
