i looooove cheerios!

this is my babysitter brande and her son j and i

i really like brande!

gramb and me hangin out

first time tryin out this thing, i think i like it

the start of the babies arriving

so yesterday mom had over all my baby friedns and their moms--actually about 14 moms and 17 kids to be exact--it was pretty crazy--but we had a great time. actually, i was not so sure about hte time i was having because i am starting to get super seperation anxiety--mom cannot even go into the kitchen, or even really out of reach before i start freakin out. gramb thinks this is because we have changed so much over the last 2 weeks--sleeping in my own bed all night long, letting me cry it out every once in a while when they know everything is okay, me having to take the bottle during the day even if mom is home...lots of changes, but all for the better (with the exception of seperation anxiety). I am eating like a champ-easily taking 2 6-7oz bottles during the day. I am sleeping good--from 6:30-12 and then from 12:30-5. I just hope Jay's mom (my babysitter) does not say she cannot watch me anymore--cause I have been causing her a little trouble--every time she goes to put j down i scream bloody murder till she gets back--mom told her it was okay, but it is not okay with me--gamb assures us this only lasts a few weeks. my second tooth is all the way in and i love to play with it with my tongue--my tongue hangs out all the tme--it is pretty funny. oh, and yesterday, when all the baby moms were over i had cheerios again--i tried 1 one time, but choked and mom got freaked out, bt yesteray evryone was giving their kids cheerios and mom thougth what the heck, and i loved them--so much that after my cereal and green beans and 5 cheerios and a bunch of cheese for dinner mom got out some sweet potatos and i had a few bites, but then i let her know what i really wanted and banged around on my tray till she gave me more cheerios. i love them. iam getting to be quite the littl piggy and am starting to get fat rolls. ggood thing mom had her back surgery when she did, cause i am getting huge! well, hope everyone is well-miss yall.

i tried yogurt

today i tried yogurt for the first time--my first faces were priceless, the camera came a little late. we also celebrated year of the ox at the yates-brown household with some awesome chinese food. gramb took a much needed 3o minutes off. i slept for 8 hours straight last nite--from 6:30-2:30--pretty amazing stuff. i love the bath toys i got from gramma--they are so fun. papa and i had some silly time today, i like spending time with papa.

mom is doing better and me and gramb are getting along famously

mom was hurtin pretty good afer surgery, but i was hurtin more, with her not being able to hold me at all, except for short times on her lap, and nursing was not easy...but alas...here we are 5 days later and i almost slept through th enight last night, i am taking my second bottle of the day and doing god. i think i am clos eto almost having a routine. mom tooksome pics for yall today, so eat em up--cause i am getting cuter by the day. we got me a nanny cam, so that since mom cannot get up real easy, she can make sure i am safe in my crib--she rigged it up, can you tell.

Finally, some pictures

hello all. it has been warm and sunny in colorado, very nice, very nice. gramb and grampc are here and we are playing a lot. papa just cut his beard off. i have one tooth and another coming through, i am not a good teether. we are having fun, it is a good visit. we hope that gramma and grampaw are having a safe and good time in israel and that emma is finding her way in ecuador...both places mama has spent quite bit of time. and of course, we hope gus and great grams are having fun together. love to all.

super tired

so, no pics cause mama had to take the batteries out of hte camera to power my sound machine--it is the only way I will take naps these days, and even then, they are super short--i rally actually like to skip them if i can. I got my first real tooth, it has popped up and now i like to feel it with my tongue all the time. my second tooth started to come in last night, so i decided if i was going to be up in pain, so should mom and dad, it was a very long night, as was the night before that. i was sleeping so good, but then decided there were better things to do with my time, so now i am up all the time again. i was relaly good for the babysitter on friday night though..mom put me down at 6 and i did not wake up until 10pm. mom got some new batteries yesterday, so she promises to take some pics and post them soon.

the cats lost, but i am still happy

decked out in my uk gear (with my schweet uk bball from uncle mike) i watched the cats game today, i fussed for most of it actually, much to ma and pa's shigrin...but after itwas all over, i became happy--which makes my parents wonder if i am really a closet cardinal's fan....nah....

I was born to play percussion

well, the psychic did tell mama that she and i would connect thru music and that sound would be very important to me, and well, we think sh ewas right. myfavorite toys are things that make noise--and i have even learned how to play the drum and my shaker...and instea dof a fishtank for x-mas (too expensive and too much time involved) mom and dad got me this cheap little piano that i love.
