Grandma arrived yesterday, I am so happy to see her! We have had a great time hanging out, she is amazed how much I have changed. Becky got to see me roll over and has given me some more workouts to try. She leaves for California for her new job soon, so I am so happy she came to see me!! Grandma and Becky leave tomorrow, I am going to miss them a lot!
I’m super busy now that aunt Becky and Mr. Ben are here, but I wanted to post a few pictures for everyone to see. I put my Florida Gators shirt back on just for her, you can see my opinion has changed since the last time I wore it. Grandma will be here tomorrow! I know these two will keep me busy!
I’m six weeks old today! Mom sure is glad she has the rest of the summer to spend with me instead of going back to work. I impressed mom and dad with a new trick on Monday (6/22)– rolling from my stomach to my back! Mom and dad were thrilled when it happened, they think it is funny how little tasks like this are such milestones to them, just wait until I can walk and talk!
Here are some of mom’s attempts to grab a picture of one of my many smiles. The rest of these are pictures from today (my third day of rolling from my stomach to my back). You can see how I move so well all over the place, I even ended up in the pole of my activity gym one time!
Dad’s first Father’s Day was an amazing one! I started the day by giving the best gift of all – sleeping from 10:30pm to 4:30am! Oh how six hours of continuous sleep is such a luxury for Mom and Dad. 🙂 Mommy and I had earlier planned to give Dad a great Father’s Day. I picked out a frame with my name on it, some Father’s Day golf balls, and best of all, a SuperDad t-shirt! All we need now is a cape!
I spent the rest of the day rocking out with Dad, having some serious conversations, playing with Mom and Roxy, and going for a walk in my new carrier! The carrier seemed a little big for me still but Dad gave it a try anyways. Once the day was over, I curled up in my swing, my favorite place to sleep, and took a long, well deserved nap.
Dad told me that being a Dad means more than words can explain or any single day can give meaning to. He said once I was in his arms for the first time, his world completely changed and gave new meaning. Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!
Uncle Jesse left to go back to Florida yesterday, but Mal and Pap were still here and came by to see me, Jessica and Grady did too. I’m very lucky to have so many great people in my life. This week is also the first time I haven’t cried getting my bath, so we’re including an after-bath picture as well.
I’m five weeks today! I spent the day with all my visitors and showing off all my tricks. Mom and Dad found my future babysitter in Hannah, Uncle Jesse entertained me, and I got to see Mal and Pap again! I went to the doctor yesterday and I’m 9 lbs 8 oz and 21 inches, Mom and Dad cannot believe how much I have grown!
On Monday (6/15) mom and dad took me to the school board office to visit all the beautiful ladies up there, I had a great time. I was especially impressed with how Mrs. Harris calmed me down and was so sweet to me. Then that evening my uncle Jesse and his girlfriend Melissa came to see me for the first time! I am the first baby he has ever held, and he did pretty well if I do say so myself. You’ll see from my sleeping pictures how tired I was from my big day. I’ve also been practicing rolling to one side, that wipes me out too! I’m excited that he’ll be spending the next few days with me. Mal and Pap are coming down too, and Angie and Hannah are going to stop by. I sure do have a lot of people that love me!
My how time flies! I’m one whole month today! Mommy was away from me for the first time today to finish some stuff for her administration degree, she had a hard time being away from me, she really loves me. Here are some pictures of me sleeping in my swing (you can see how I end up all crazy ways when I sleep), hanging out solo with dad today, and then some pictures of me watching the Yankee game with mom when she got back!
Canton is four weeks old today! I remember being young and how I would hate when relatives would gush over how much I’ve grown and hating it, funny how your perspective changes… He continues to bless and amaze us with every passing day. I seriously cannot imagine life without him, and we barely remember what our BC (before Canton) life was like. These pictures show one of his new favorite things to do, look at his handsome reflection! He is starting to coo, you can’t imagine the goose bumps it sends through you to hear your child respond to seeing themselves or seeing your face, I wonder what those first words will feel like?
Canton is getting SO strong! He continues to push his way across his activity gyms (with assistance of course), you can see his progress moving in the different pictures and he is working on rolling to one side! He also has some new baby bird friends living under our deck which have grabbed his attention. I’ve also included a couple sleeping pictures, since everyone loves those!
