July Post

Sorry I have been so delinquent in blogging but it has been a busy few weeks. Last week Mom and I went to Austin to stay with Mema and Grando. We didn't completely abandon Dad - he was in LA for work. Got to pay for my cute outfits! Looking this good doesn't come cheaply.

Anyway, it was a busy week. The highlight was meeting Cousin Blake for the first time. Since he is older, he showed me the ways of the world. We also liked to play this fun game where we would both start crying at the same time and see how many adults would come running. Good times.

I met lots of Mom's friends as well and the grandmothers of Tanbark Cove. On Sunday Dad drove us to San Antonio to meet his aunt and granny. They are my great aunt and great granny. So I am quite the world traveler now - Houston, Austin, San Antonio. Makes me tired just thinking about it.

Thanks Mema for taking care of me for the past week. Don't know what Mom and I would have done without you. Hope you have gotten some sleep. And sorry about the spit up on your clothes, your couch, your rug...

Enjoy the pictures below!

- Peace

Posing in my new outfit. Notice the matching socks and hat. Yup - Mema put this together.

Mom and Mema think I look precious, but Dad thinks that the bow counts as child abuse.

Meeting Blake for the first time. He is a whole 11 days older so I have lots to learn from him. But I wish that he would stop hitting me in the face!

Mema had her hand fulls with Blake and me. She changed lots of diapers. She is a good Mema but needs to learn some new songs - it's not really the season for Jingle Bells.

I met alot of family on this trip. This is me chilling with my great aunt Becky. She may not babysit but she buys me LOTS of cute clothes.

I have grown a whole inch since birth. In one of my many new outfits - thanks Mema!

My great aunt Jody was in San Antonio all the way from Denver. It was so fun to meet her and my great granny.

Cousin Blake and I both know the importance of accessorizing - thus the hats.

Week 2 Update

Week 2 of life was yet another eventful week. Mema left us but Granny N came in her place to help Mommy and Daddy take care of me. I like having 3 adults at my beck and call. Sadly she had to leave as well so now I just have Mommy and Daddy to do my bidding.

Went to the pediatrician on Thursday and I am still quite petite. I am only in the 10th percentile in weight. So I have to gain some weight if I want to wear the cute clothes in my closet. Oddly enough, Mommy has the opposite problem.

Yesterday I celebrated my first 4th of July. I celebrated by staying up all night long.

Below are some of the greatest hits from week 2. Here is to another great week of eating, pooping and sleeping!

Here I am getting in some tummy time. It's never too early to start an exercise routine.

I look quite angelic in this photo. Two important facts about this picture - 1. I am asleep and 2. It is nighttime.

Here I am with Aunt Erin. She came all the way from New York. I don't know where that is yet but I am sure it's a cool place.

This is me chilling with Daddy. We were watching tv and Mommy was bothering us with the camera. It's hard to be this cute - the paparazzi is everywhere.

And they say babies don't smile. Hah.
