My first cold

This weekend was good and bad for me. The good part was my Nana C and Papaw Glenn came to visit. The bad part was I had my first cold. I slept most of the weekend and cried when I wasn't asleep. My nose was stuffy on Saturday night, so my Nana held me in the glider and let me sleep on her shoulder. I loved snuggling with her.

Saturday night I got to stay home with my Nana, Papaw, Uncle Mark, and Aunt Christy while my mommy and daddy went on something they call a "date." Mommy says it will be a long, long, long time before I know anything about them. They went shopping and to dinner and had a great time together. They both said they missed me a bunch.

Monday I went back to the pediatrician to make sure I didn't have an ear infection and I didn't. Dr. Foor was very nice and I liked seeing him. Afterwards, Mommy and I swung by Daddy's office and gave him kisses before heading home. Mommy went out to an Arts Festival on Monday night so I stayed with my Aunt Chirsty until my daddy got home and then it was just the boys for a couple of hours. We had lots of fun.

On Tuesday, Mommy took me to her Wake Forest office and I got to meet all of the nice ladies there. They hugged me and kissed me and sang to me. I loved it. Then last night, Mommy took me to a place called "On the Border" to meet my Aunt Christy and Cousin Jane for drinks and chips. I had a great time flirting with all of the waitresses. The bartender wanted to see my ID and everyone laughed. My cousin, Jane, put me to sleep right away by rubbing my back. She's a great snuggler.

Today's going to be busy as well. We're meeting my daddy for lunch! I can't wait to see him because I miss him so much during the day. I'll post again soon. Love you all.

Busy Week

It's been a busy week at my house. On Monday, we went to see the first person I ever met -- Dr. Campbell. He had to make sure my mommy was healthy after giving birth to me and she was. He said her blood count was 12.6 and normal is 13. I don't know what any of that means, but Mommy and Daddy were very happy about it so I guess it's good. That night, my daddy left to go play basketball and he was very excited. He had a lot of fun there. Mommy and I went to my Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark's house. I missed Daddy, but I'm glad he had a good time.

Tuesday we went to my mommy's old office and met all of her friends there. They were very excited to see me, but they gave me a hard time for wearing baby blue. I think they thought it was Carolina blue. Those Tar Heels sure were silly to pick a baby color for their school!

Wednesday my mommy took me to a place called the allergy clinic so she could get some shots. I did not like that place and I made sure everybody knew it. I did get to meet the granddaddy of one of my friends from the nursery at Rex Hospital while I was there. She and I were born on the same day. Mommy thought that was really neat. We wanted to go visit Daddy too, but he was on something called a conference call and we couldn't see him. Those must be fun because he gets on them all the time. I can't wait until I can get on one!

My Nana and Papaw are coming to see to me tomorrow. I can't wait! They are so excited to see me they took the day off so they could come in the morning. We're going to have a good time. I'll be sure to tell you all about it.

6 weeks old

Today I am 6 weeks old. I have had a busy weekend. On Friday night, as promised, my Aunt Kennette and Uncle Nealson came over with Holden and Hannah. I've posted a picture of my friend, Holden, holding me on the couch. He was very excited about getting to hold me. We also had pizza and watched some of the hockey game.

On Saturday, mommy bought a new stand for our TV. Daddy and Uncle Mark spent the afternoon rearranging the furniture and I hung out with my mommy and Aunt Christy. We were supposed to get several inches of snow, but it only snowed enough to cover the deck and grass. I would have been bummed, but my Aunt Christy spent the night and it made up for it.

I wasn't really sleepy last night and stayed up until after 11 watching the Wolfpack win a great game against the Miami Hurricanes. I only slept for 45 minutes and was up again until after 12:30. BUT since I had kept mommy and daddy up, I decided I would surprise them and sleep for over 5 hours before waking them up again!! They were very happy.

Today, I've hung out with my Aunt Christy and watched football. We were sad the Chargers lost, but they played a good game. Next weekend should be just as fun when my Nanna C and Papaw Glenn come to visit.

So sorry

I haven't posted in awhile. I have had one busy week! On Tuesday Aunt Kennette, Holden and Hannah came to stay for the day. Aunt Kennette brought me Hannah's old swing and I love it (as long as I go maximum speed)! I even took a nap in it while she was here and mommy slept upstairs. She takes good care of me and my mommy. Tuesday night we watched the dumb ole' Wolfpack lose AGAIN. Mommy and Daddy says that being a fan means we cheer for a team even when they are terrible, but it's really hard to watch (and to listen to my parents yell at the TV).

On Wednesday, I went to WakeMed and had lunch with my Aunt Christy. Mommy was worried about all the germs in the hospital, so we had a picnic lunch in her office. I got to meet all the nice people who work with her and take care of you if something bad happens to you. All of them seemed to know me so I think my Aunt Christy has been bragging about me at work!

I didn't eat or sleep well on Tuesday and Wednesday, so mommy took me back to the pediatrician yesterday for a weight check and to talk about my reflux. I've been taking some yucky tasting Zantac for almost three weeks now, but my parents think it is getting worse instead of better. I had gained 12 ounces in 8 days, so the reflux hasn't affected how much I eat. But I have been spitting up and gagging more than I used to and eating less than I used to, so my doctor switched me to Prevacid. Mommy just keeps saying she is sorry for giving me the "Cable tummy."

Tonight my Uncle Nealson is coming over and I can't wait to see him (Aunt Kennette, Holden and Hannah are coming too)!! I haven't seen him since I first came home from the hospital. He's very excited because there is a chance we might get to see some snow tomorrow. I'm excited about that too. I promise to post again soon.

My Weekend

Weekends are my favorite! I love hanging out with my daddy during the day. On Saturday, daddy wasn't very happy because the Wolfpack played really bad and lost big to the Tarheels. We also went for a walk in the neighborhood and I got to meet my neighbor, Suzanne. She was really nice and said she missed her grandkids who live in California. She also promised her dog, Magnum, could come play with Bailey and Cooper. That will be fun!

We got some new things for the house this weekend. Mommy says the garage door opener broke and was the garage door stay shut, so we had to get a new one. We also got a new television. It is big and has lots of cool colors on it. We got to watch Philip Rivers beat up on the Colts on the new TV and everyone was very happy.

It was a lazy Sunday and I slept alot, so I didn't sleep much last night. Mommy is determined I'm going to stay up today. She took me on my first trip to Target to pick up my medicine and then to Blockbuster to return a movie for my Aunt Christy. Then we surprised daddy by dropping by the dentist where he was getting his teeth cleaned. I got to meet Mrs. Kim and Dr. Manness. Maybe one day I'll have teeth and they can clean them just like they do for my mommy and daddy.

Tomorrow is a big day for me. Hannah and Holden are coming over to play. I'm very excited about seeing them and spending time with my Aunt Kennette. I haven't seen her in several weeks. I'll make sure to post pictures.

Happy Birthday to me

I am one month old today!! To celebrate, I went to see Dr. Nechyba. He told me I am getting to be a big boy. I weigh 9 pounds and 7 ounces. He also told mommy to give me more of that yucky tasting Zantac to make me feel better because the low dose isn't cutting it. I really like my pediatrician. After he finished checking me over and had me crying real good, he picked me up and held me close to him until I calmed down. Mommy liked that, too. He said I am very healthy and I'll see him again in a month when I have to get my first round of shots. Mommy and I aren't looking forward to that visit!

My daddy has been in Rhode Island all day today and I miss him so much. I can't wait to see him when he comes home tonight. My Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark spent the evening with me and brought mommy some dinner. I love them. To pay my Aunt Christy back for her niceness, I peed on her when she helped mommy give me a bath. I'm sorry about that.

Another exhausting day

Yesterday was so tiring. After I ate lunch, my mommy took me to daddy's office to drop off some things he had forgotten at home (he's sleep deprived, you know). I visited with the nice people in his office for about 20 minutes before I had enough. It really wasn't that I didn't like his co-workers, but that it was so hot in there I was sweating in my carseat. As soon as I got outside again, I calmed down until mommy put me in the car to go home. She says to tell you I screamed all the way home, but you believe what you want.

When we got home, I ate and my Aunt Christy came over. She put me in my stroller and we went for a walk in the neighborhood since it was 70 degrees outside. Mommy, Bailey and Cooper went with us. I LOVED being outside and was wide awake the whole time. I was a perfect angel. Mommy and Aunt Christy wish they could say the same for Bailey and Cooper.

The last thing I did last night was to watch part of the football game between the Buckeyes and the LSU Tigers. Mommy wore her OSU shirt and I even called my uncles, Nathan and Jason, to wish them good luck before the game. Daddy told me when I woke up at 3 AM that they had lost. Pout.

Tonight mommy has a meeting and I'm going to be home with daddy. Then tomorrow, daddy leaves to go out of town and it's just me and my mommy. We have a big day planned...bagels with Aunt Kennette and Hannah and a visit to Dr. Nechyba. I hope he's proud of how big I'm getting.

My Grand Day Out

Today I took my first trip into the real world (other than to go to see my favorite pediatrician, Dr. Nechyba). Mommy and daddy took me to BJs. We got some toilet paper, which mommy says I'll learn about one day, some laundry detergent to wash all of my clothes, and some other stuff grown ups need. I did great, but when we got to the health and beauty part of the store, I had had about all the shopping fun I could stand and started to cry. Perhaps my Nana Carolyn heard me all the way in Asheville? All in all, it was a fun day.

Tonight my mommy is having sushi for the first time since before I was in her tummy and she is very happy. We are also watching Philip Rivers in the play-offs. It has been a big day and mommy and daddy say they hope I sleep well tonight. Tomorrow will be just as big. We have to wear our red and gray for the Buckeyes! Talk to you all soon.

Game Day

Today my favorite team plays basketball against Presbyterian and I'm all decked out in my NCSU gear to cheer them on. I got a good night's sleep last night and my friends Volpe and Nicolle are coming over so we should have lots of fun. I was so excited I even put myself to sleep for my nap...a trend my mommy and daddy hope I will continue.

Tomorrow is my four week birthday and I'm getting bigger every day. Here's a new picture for those out of towners.

My Bellybutton!

Today was a big day -- I saw my belly button for the first time ever. That's right -- my umbilical cord fell off today. I'm excited -- no more of those cold cotton swabs rubbing down there.

It was a big day for my mommy today too -- this was our first day alone together. Daddy had to go back to work, so Mommy took care of me all by herself. I made sure to be an extra good boy for her, and to save up all my fussiness for when Daddy came home. :)

I also got to see snow for the first time ever. It looked like fun, but Mommy said it's even more fun when it starts to stick -- whatever that means.

I got to go outside for my first walk yesterday, but it was way too cold today, so we spent the whole day inside. I hope my mommy gets to go outside soon before she goes stir crazy!

My First Christmas

I just finished my first Christmas ever. It was very tiring. There were so many people to visit and so many presents to open! I can't wait until next Christmas when I'm old enough to open them myself.

First I went to my Nana Bunie and Grandaddy's house. I got to meet my Uncle Scott, Aunt Brandi, my great Grandmama, and all of my cousins. Then I went to my Aunt Christy and Uncle Mark's house where I had Christmas with my Nana Carolyn and Papaw Glenn, and I got to meet my Nanny and my Uncle John and Aunt Tammy. Next, my Uncle Nathan and Uncle Jason came over. They gave me an Ohio State shirt for Christmas. I'm Wolfpack through and through, but the Buckeyes can be my second team. I hope they beat those Tigers! Last of all, my Papaw George and Mamaw Jean came to see me. They gave me a book called Hop on Pop. My daddy said that sounded like a bad idea to him, but I thought it was funny.

Merry Christmas, everyone, and Happy New Year!
