I told you I was growing!

On Tuesday, my three-week birthday, two nurses came by to check on my Mom and me and to see if we had any questions. I decided not to say anything, but I was all smiles and the nurse told me I was her favorite baby! I am certain she has never ever said that to another baby. Well, I got weighed and I am up to 8 pounds, 14 ounces! And today my Mom told me I am too tall for my dinosaur pj's - I have to agree, I cannot straighten my legs in them very comfortably and it's hard for Mom to get to my diaper, so I guess I will have to start wearing my bigger jammies. I have some really nice ones, so I am not too sad, but I did like the dinosaurs.

Otherwise things are going well. I sometimes take cat naps - my Grandma says Harley and Ozzy taught me this trick. I'm getting better and better about sleeping - as long as I'm not on my back. (Don't tell the pediatrician). I'll sleep on my tummy on anyone's chest and I like to sleep on my side, but not on my back. I get startled and sometimes hit myself in the face with my arms, then I wake up and cry because I am confused and of course, startled. I am trying really hard and I want desperately to let everyone get a good night's sleep so I hope Mom and Dad can hang in there a little longer until I grow up a bit more.

It's almost time for me to have some more dinner, so I will write more later. I love you all!

I'm here!

I arrived on Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 2:15pm. I weighed in at 7 pounds, 12 ounces and was 20 inches long. But I am a growing boy.

Lots of visitors came by to see me and my Mom and Dad in the hospital. It was fun, but I'm happy to be home. I have two cats, Harley and Ozzy. The look at me funny when I cry and sometimes I think I make them mad when I wake them up, but they like to watch me play on my tummy mat and they watch me sleep in my bassinet. Life is pretty fun, but I am still new and sometimes I don't like things very much, like sleeping. There is just too much going on that I don't want to miss!

I'll post more about my life later, I just wanted to get this started so that all of my friends and family could see some pictures and read about me.
