N's Update

Hey guys,

Mom finally decided that I could take over the blog again.  J  She’s been pretty busy and I am probably to blame for most of that, so I figured I would step in to let you know what is going on.

I’m almost 3 months!!!  Time has flown by.  I’m discovering new things each day and I love looking around at things.  I have found my hands and love to look at them and touch stuff.  I really love to rub Mom’s arms and put my hands in front of my eyes while eating. 

Things have been pretty busy around here.  Mom had to go back to work and while she was happy to go, she was sad to leave me.  Luckily, my Nana, Mom’s mom, got to come down and hang out with me.  Boy, did she spoil me.  She even bought me a thing to give me warm wipes (do you blame me for not liking them cold) and now I like my milk warm, instead of room temperature.  She took me on walks and read to me and took naps with me.  I’m so glad that she’s my Nana. 

My Papa K and my Aunt Lisa got to come down and visit me, too.  Papa K didn’t get to stay too long, but he told me that he would be back very soon.  Mom told me that when we get to see him again, I’ll get to spend the early morning hours with him while she gets some sleep.  I guess he likes to get up early like me. 

I’m liking my bath a little more each day.  Nana read to me for three weeks while I took my bath, so I’ve learned that it’s not horrible.  Maybe someday, I’ll REALLY like it.  Mom keeps on telling me that it will happen. 

I really enjoy looking at books, especially ones with bright colors.  Thankfully, I have TONS of books to read and look at.  I already have two shelves full and more in the living room.  My stuff is taking over the house. 

I’m sleeping a little better these days.  Mom and Dad have been trying to get me into bed a little after 9 and I normally sleep until around 3.  I’ll get up and eat, go back to sleep after I eat, and then be up and ready to play again around 6.  I surprised them for two nights when I slept all the way until 5, but I don’t want to spoil them just yet.  I like seeing them at night and having them cuddle with me.  I’m in no rush to sleep through the night. 

I’m still eating about every 3 hours, sometimes a little longer.  I take about 4 ½ ounces and it’s delicious.  Mom hates the smell of the formula, but I told her that she would just have to get over it.  It’s her job to feed me, right?  She mixes the normal Enfamil formula with the anti-spit up formula because if she doesn’t, I spit it right up.  They still give me the liquid formula because my tummy isn’t ready for the powder stuff yet. 

I love all the new stuff that I’m playing with, like my swing, playmat, and more.  I love being able to reach up and hit things.  I still love my bouncy seat and stroller and today, Mom put my high chair together.  She let me sit beside her while she did a few things and I loved it.  My Aunt Lisa even discovered that I like Spongebob! 

I’m in size 1 diapers and Mom finally decided that it was time to clean out my baby clothes and give me some big boy clothes.  I’m now in mostly my size 3 month clothes and some of the 3-6 month clothes fit, too. 

My Nana bought me a scale while she was here, so now, Mom weighs me every few days.  I don’t mind, even though the scale is cold when she puts me on it.  Mom weighed me tonight and guess what? I was 11 lbs. 6 oz.  Can you believe it????? 

My hair is really starting to come it.  It’s super soft and dark, but if the light hits it just right, it’s a little red.  I have a few curls on one side of my head, but besides that, it looks pretty straight. 

My Gramma and Papa are coming tomorrow and I’m so excited that I don’t know if I will be able to sleep tonight.  They came and saw me when I was in the hospital, but I was pretty little and they couldn’t hold me.  Now, they can hold me as much as they want and I’m going to love it.  I know they are going to spoil me, too, and I love it! 

I got to go see Dad run a race the other night.  (Mom says she’s going to post more pictures of this soon.)  My friends, Jean and Sarah, came with us and I loved the attention.  I was good during the race and even slept some, which was amazing because it was really loud.  I wish Jean and Sarah didn’t have to leave. 

When I’m happy, I love to smile and grin.  I’ll talk, but only when I want to.  Mom and Dad are learning that I’m the boss and that if I don’t want to talk, I won’t.  They’re learning that I’m the boss. 

Well, it’s almost time for my bath and bottle.  My eyes are getting heavy, so I’d better go and get some rest.  I want to be well rested when my special visitors arrive tomorrow night.  

Night everyone,
