growing and sleeping

last thursday i went to the doctor to get my first round of vaccinations, mom and dad decided to do an alternative schedule (thanks jane for the book suggestion!). so i got dtap and rotovirus,...i was star patient, did not even cry. they told me i weighed 11lbs 9oz and that i was 2 feet long (although mom is sure i am longer and that they measured me wrong). that puts me in the 80th percentile for heighth and the 50th for weight. i slept for 4 and 4.5 hours the last 2 nights respectively, mom is so happy!!! although she almost feels more tired now that she is getting longer chunks of sleep, go figure. she has started to get out and walk a lot, now that we got a jogging stroller that has an infant sling...she is hoping to drop 10 lbs in 3 weeks, so i tell her to get realistic adn so she is now aiming at 5...she still has a total of about 15 to get back to her pre-pregger weight...anyhow, things are good, take care all.

oh yeah--this is my good friend tessa, her parents and mom and dad are real good friends--we like to go to avo's and sit on the patio and listen to bluegrass...you can visit tessa at her blog--www.babysink.blogspot.com

I am talking lots now!

I am for sure a listener and thinker by comparison to my peers, but I love to chat it up first thing in the morning and when I get done eating. And of course, when I play in my little gym. I am starting to get some fat roll, which mom is really excited about, it means I am getting enough milk finally. Today we walked from hom to the coffee shop, then downtown to get burritos for breakfast, then to the coop for groceries then back home--the dogs loved it, i loved it, even though it was hot. Mom had to cut my fingernails cause I had been really scratching myself. I have some pretty wicked cradle cap that has moved onto my forehead and eyebrows, but we are takng care of it. All in all life is good! (oh and sorry ou hav eto listen to mom and dad's commentary in the videos, they cannot help it!)

I have lots of friends

Some of mom and dad's friends from their birthing class have little ones that have become my friends. mom and i went walking with the two girls named julie and their kids henryand maya and had a good time. mom got sunburnt as all get out, but she lost a pund walking in the 102 degree weather! i am tall and very skinny compared to these guys. we has fun

smiling and cooing!

so, i started really cooing the other day, but just this morning i smiled on demand. maybe it was because i got to see mom be a little funnier than usual last night when we went out for our friend doug's b-day. she had her first real drink in nearly a year--a mojito, and she loved it. well, here are a few pics of me, by the way, my dog jack loves me, but he really wants the toy on my jungle gym that squeaks, so we have to take it off.

I love country music

Last night mom and dad took me to see some free honkey tonk down at the park. there i met my friend henry, his parents, julie and brian were in mom and dad's birthing class. henry is 1 week older than me. we had loads of fun, but it was really really hot out. julie is a potter and her and mom are going to take their belly casts and make clay bowls out of them! dad went back to work today after a nicevacation with us, it was so nice to have him here all day, and he gets to do it again in another week, yeah!

I love bathtime

I love bathtubs, yes i do, they are nice and warm and i can splash in them. I also love my dirtdigger outfit, it is the super sweet tank style, so good to wear in the warm CO weather. I love my stripey outfit from auntey em, it is my favorite to sleep in. the bibs that aunt sue sent us have nbeen coming in real handy! mom has been getting out and walking a lot and dad has been off work all week, spending lots of quality time with me. he has been teaching me about bike and skateboard mechanics too. he has been playing with me a lot, and the dogs are stoked that the whole family is home together hanging out. well, gotta run, lov eto all.

Happy 4th of July

I am now 10lbs 6oz as of Thursday, and 2 feet long. But as soon as they weighed me I took 3 gargantapoos--so ireally probably only weighed about 10lbs--but still getting big. Dad had off on Friday, which was awesome, we went for a 1 hour long walk with my dogs and then played lot. I am cooing it up, still barely smiling, but thats cause I like to save it for a special occasion. My friend Jay, he is one day older than me, his parents were in mom and dad's birthing class, they came over for the 4th and we had a photo shoot. Hope alli swell...

home alone again
