Week 15 May 3rd-9th

 Greetings!  There were a few "firsts" this week, but I'll get into those a little later.

 I forgot to mention that last weekend Auntie Kristine came to visit me again.  She was just about to leave but then I woke up from my nap so she was able to carry me.  She said I look a lot different from when she last saw me and that I've gotten bigger.  When she was holding me, I christened her with a poopy diaper.  But that didn't phase her.  She volunteered and changed my diaper!!!  That's way too cool.

In the beginning of the week, Grandpa took this picture of me using his phone, which is why it's a bit grainy.  But regardless, look at what I'm doing!!!  Well, not without a little help of course.  Grandma was holding up the end of the bottle since it's too heavy, but I have my hands on it (a "first").  Mommy and Daddy noticed something similar.  If Mommy has her hand close to my mouth and I want to mouth it, I would bring both of my hands together and "bring" her hand to my mouth. The joys of using both hands.  Awesome.

Look at me chilling here.  I OWN this place.

The other night I surprised Mommy and Daddy by sleeping 12 hours straight (another "first")!!!  I cried out a couple of times that night but went back to sleep.  They were so surprised and happy.  They actually had to wake me up the next morning...they were worried I'd be starving from not eating for 9 hours (Mommy dream fed me around 12a).  Dream feeding is when I get fed while I'm sleeping.  How awesome is that?

Do you like my outfit?  I AM born in the year of the Ox.










We went to a baby shower on Saturday.  Uncle Jeff is holding me here.  He's going to be a daddy in July!

I was also moved into my own bedroom on Saturday night.  My "first" night sleeping away from my parents.  My Mommy was torn.  She wanted me to move into my own room, but when she put me there, she felt sad...like I was growing up too fast already.

The end of this week marked Mommy's "first" Mother's Day.  We went to Buca di Beppo for lunch.  Here's a picture with the family.  Uncle Mike and Auntie Jennifer were in town again.

Once we got home, I got to take some pictures with Mommy.  It IS Mommy's day after all!  Mommy got some tulips from Uncle Mike and Auntie Jennifer, and roses from Daddy.

                
I think I behaved pretty well today, so that's my present to Mommy.  :)
