We went to a party store to pick out decorations for Grandma & Grandpa's ("G" & "GG") anniversary party and G thought it would be funny to put crazy hats on me. He's nuts!

Hungry Hungry Hippo

I wore my hippo hat to our block party last weekend and was told that it's rather odd that hippos would be chosen to adorn baby clothes since they are so viscious. Hmm...teddy bears? Anyone come across a cuddly, sweet, non-terrifying bear lately. Didn't think so.

Anyhow, I think I look pretty cute dressed in my hippo gear. I wear my hippo hat and socks all the time but today mom went in for the kill with the whole ensemble.

Cousin Sarah

Cousin Sarah from California came to visit with me and my mom & dad. We had so much fun together (mostly shoping of course). She's amazing with babies and I miss her already. Here's a picture of us together.

Me & Ailey

Me and my mom met up with Paula and baby Ailey last week. If you go back to last month's posts to look at our picture together you can see how much we've grown in the last month. Doesn't Ailey have the most beautifulest hair! I'm so jealous! Mom says she's going to have to tape a bow to my head so people stop asking what her son's name is. Oh, and by the way, if a baby is dressed in pink from head to toe chances are that it's a girl. Just a hint since the general public doesn't seem to comprehend this simple concept.

Eau de spoiled milk

So I think it's a plot against moms everywhere.

Why is it that the two places you apply perfume...of the normal sort...to your body are the two places that are always doused with milk? You test the stuff for temperature on your wrist (God knows that when a screaming baby is in your arms you aren't going to take the time to wash it off) and then the baby tests your patience and laundering skills on your neck while burping. By the end of the day you reek of sour milk. Ick

Just an observation. Perhaps a way to ward off the husband as to not produce any more offspring too soon?

Here's a great action shot. Gross I know but how can you not find this impressive. And yes I know that the fact that she's sitting on dad's lap negates my above observation but o'well. Dad does get a good dose of it too.

Small Head?

For some reason my head appears to be massive in pictures. I'm not sure why since my head is actually really small and just finally made it onto the charts (10th percentile). I thought I should post a picture that might show my head in a more realistic light...next to my mom's big noggin.

8 Weeks

I'm 8 weeks old now! Can you believe it? I was 9lbs last week so I'm probably a few more ounces now. Next week I'll go to the pediatrician for my 2 month immunizations. Yuck!

Today my nanny who will be watching me when mom goes back to work (boo!!!) came to stay with me for a few hours. I behaved beautifully and didn't even spit up on her once. I figured I should break her in slowly.

My terrible baby acne finally cleared up so I wanted to post a picture of my beautifully restored baby soft skin. Check out my goofy smile. Mom has yet to get a clear picture of it since it's rather fleeting. I like to keep her on her toes.

Rock a bye Cheeseburger- Tales of Motherhood

So today my mom and I went out for lunch with Sophia. We both ordered cheeseburgers and of course as soon as we took our first bite my darling daughter began to cry...loud. So I picked her up and began rocking her back and forth to quiet her. For those of you that don't know or haven't been around during one of her breakdowns, Sophia loves to be bounced, rocked and "figure 8'd" (combination of the two in a figure 8 motion. don't ask me why) when she's upset and without fail it calms her down.

So anyhow, once mom finished her burger I handed the baby off to her so I could eat mine. We're sitting there chatting and all the sudden I realize I'm rocking my cheesburger! Literally rocking the thing back and forth and spraying burger juices and fixings everywhere. I've officially reached a new level of nuts. Allthough, truth be told. I don't mind. Makes live pretty darn entertaining.

Here's a new picture of Sophia in her "out on the town" gear...

Cheeky

Mom is still so stunned that I've grown so much that she felt the need to post pictures of me in my car seat at 1 week old and 6 weeks old.

In case you were wondering...yes, I am storing up nuts and seeds for the winter.

All Grown Up

I'm growing up so fast that mom and dad are stunned. This weekend I found my toys in my crib. It was like "POOF" there they are! I'm told they were there all along but I guess I was too busy studying the back of my eyelids to see them. Now I hit them with my hands and stare at them for what seems like forever (10 minutes at most). Here are a few pictures of me all grown up...

MOOO!!!!

I'm now starting to (kinda) fit into some of my cow paraphernalia. Yes, I have quite the collection of cow gear. Grandma grew up on a farm and her sisters, my great aunts, showered me with cow clothes. I must admit, I do think I look pretty fantastic. Besides, I wear milk down the front of me day in and day out I might as well pay homage to the cow.

MOO!
