Week 2

 

 

The week kicked off with a visit from my Dilworth Cousins including

Isaiah, Elisabeth, Andrew and Uncle Mark and Tia Blanca. 

I had so much

fun hanging out with them and can’t wait till I’m much bigger to play

with them. 

Cousin Elizabeth was really interested in me and asked my

Mommy lots of questions, like what is that thing on her belly button, what is an umbilical cord, why does she sleep and eat all the time? Elizabeth also advised Mommy that I need to get my ears pierced now and not wait too long when I’m old enough to realize how much it will hurt.

Nana arrived brining with her yummy cookies and pre-made dinners like
spinach pie, lasagna and stuffed peppers. I loved cuddling with Nana
who would sing to me and put blankets over my head, which made Mommy
laugh because she thought it made me look like a Nun.

 

 

On Tuesday, I had my first sponge bath at home. Nana prepared the
kitchen sink and surrounding area and then gently washed me. I loved
it. It was so relaxing that I pooped and peed while Nana was trying to
dry me off, just so Nana could do it again.

Wednesday Mom booked a photographer to take shots of me but I had
other ideas… I really just wanted to eat! I ate before the
photographer arrived and then in the hour after. Since this is what I
love to do, it really should be my debuting shot. Plus, I was really
interested to see what tricks this photographer had up her sleeve; so
I was awake the entire time. Sorry Mommy and Daddy but no little
sleeping angle shots!

Later that night, my umbilical cord fell off. Yeah!

 

 

I had my first brunch date. Nana was so supportive to Mommy as she
breastfed me at the restaurant. I guess first time Mom’s aren’t always
supper comfortable but we did great and enjoyed blueberry buckwheat
pancakes and time outside of the house.

 

On Friday October 12, I had my second doctor’s appointment where to no
one’s was surprised to hear that I gained a whole pound in the last week; which
puts me right on track to grow like my Daddy who went from 8 to 11 lbs
in the first month.
Weight: 9-6-5 or 90-95% (WOW)
Head:   35.6 or 75%
Length: 20.5 or 75%

Tiffany came to visit with me and give Mommy some much needed
interaction with the outside world. She came with presents (yeah)
cookies that are like crack cocaine and memory board, which now holds
my hospital bracelet, cards and photos. Thank you!
