Oh boy do I have a lot to tell you about. First let me start with today because today is a very special day. Today my Uncle Adam and Aunt Lindsay had their baby - Hudson! I am a big cousin. He looks so cute but he's almost as big as me, so you know what that means...yup, you guessed it. MORE MILK!!! I can't wait to meet him. He was 8lbs9oz. I am so proud of my Aunt Lindsay for finally letting him out and for my Uncle Adam who remained standing while Hudson made his grand entrance. I have so much to teach him...
Now mommy says that I have to thank the "mamas and papas" because they have helped mommy sooooo much. I'm not really sure what she means by that but lately she's been putting me in this carrier thing and dancing around the house to keep me entertained. It's a lot of fun.
Daddy wears it sometimes too.
Last weekend we went to a park with 2 lakes. Big brother Mochi came with us and we met mommy and daddy's friends Nicole and Rob there. They had a baby with them too but they had to return that baby later on that day. I hope that mommy and daddy don't have to return me...
That night we went to Nicole and Rob's house for dinner. And when all of the adults sat down to eat dinner, I demanded my dinner too so mommy sat with me on the couch and fed me. I got to meet a new animal that night. They have a cat named Heinz that is bigger than Mochi. Mochi and Heinz looked like they loved each other like I love my mommy and daddy, and spent the whole night staring at each other like I stare at mommy and daddy.
I fell asleep there because it was past my bedtime.
Now I'm getting better at this tummy time thing, but I prefer to do it when my daddy and my big brother Mochi do it with me.
I'm also getting better at making messes. On Thursday, mommy and I didn't have such a great day. You see, I don't really like to sleep at night. Usually by 3am I'm done sleeping and I want to get up and play. Mommy and Daddy don't seem too thrilled with the idea, but eventually they give in. So after mommy and I played for a while and Daddy went to work, I took a nap. When I woke up I came up with a new game during feeding - throw up on mommy. But you can't just throw up on her shoulder when she's burping you because then you get dirty. You have to figure out a way to throw up on mommy and keep yourself clean (are you listening Hudson??). So when mommy was washing her hands at the sink and holding me close to her chest, I turned my head, pretending that I was nuzzling it close to her and let loose. It was priceless - I managed to throw up on mommy's chest and into her bra and I didn't get any on me. Mommy just shook her head and smiled. It wasn't her normal smile, but I think she enjoyed the game.
Well, my mommy's smart and I couldn't play that game two days in a row, so on Friday I picked a different game. I've been saving my poops lately - instead of pooping every time I eat, I poop once or twice every day or every other day. On Friday since I got up to play really early in the morning, I figured I should let mommy shower (but I was scheming the whole time). While I was waiting in my rocker for mommy to finish showering, I threw up and let it drip behind my head onto my hair. Now I know that you're thinking how gross that was, but that was just the distraction. Mommy took me into my bathroom to wash my hair, and while she was scrubbing my head I pooped everything I had saved up the day before. Mommy had no idea what was coming - she brought me into my room and put me on the changing table and saw the poop at the edge of my diaper. And then she looked at her arm and it was covered in poop!! I was so proud of myself. I think that mommy likes this game - I'll have to come up with some other sneak attacks.
I do however do a great job of sleeping during the day...
The breastfeeding is going better too. I eat my milk every 2-3 hours. And mommy says that she's glad that she is breastfeeding. We go to the store, and if I'm hungry mommy takes me to the car and feeds me. We go to mommy's friend's house and when I'm hungry, mommy feeds me. I'm so glad that mommy can't forget my milk at home and that it always goes with her.
But the best part of my week (up until my cousin was born) was taking my first shower. Daddy was taking a shower and since I needed my bath, mommy asked daddy to take me into the shower with him. And I loved it. I think that mommy took a picture for every second that I was in the shower (all G-rated of course).
I'm starting to smile too, but I only do it when mommy doesn't have her camera nearby so that nobody else can see it. Maybe next week I'll let you see me smile...
