I'm 7 weeks old!

Holding My Head Up

Mommy says I am super smart because I like to stand on her tummy (with a little support of course!) and I am holding my head up really well ... my neck muscles get tired though so I can't do it for real long :) I hear my mommy's voice and turn to find her but I also like checking out those that are holding me. I smile at almost everyone and everything too! I have great hand-eye coordination since I can reach up and grab my pacifier, pull it out and hold on to it ... I can almost stick it back in my mouth by myself too :) Daddy's coming home soon so mommy continues to play his voice for me and she made my little blanket smell like him. I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow, mommy says I am already not little anymore ... what's that supposed to mean? I'm still a baby! :)

The Murphy Quilt

Just wanted to show off my new picture on the Murphy quilt! Check out the 1 month slideshow for a few new pics!

I'm 1 month old today!

Today I turned one month old, and mommy was happy but sad at the same time... something about how quick I am growing and her missing daddy, but he'll be back soon. Tomorrow I have a doctor's visit and mom keeps saying something about a shot, but that won't be happening if I get any say in the matter! Mom and GG started taking pictures of me so keep looking at the albums, especially the 1 month album, as we'll be taking a few each day this week then adding them !

I'm lovin bathtime!

I am figuring out that bathtime isn't so bad. I usually don't like it in the beginning but when mom starts rinsing me off with the warm water I get happy... and I'm always smiling after the bath when mom wraps me up in my towel!

I'M HERE!!

Hello Everyone! I made it :) Life was very busy when I first arrived, so many people wanted to see me and my daddy while he was in town plus mommy and daddy were trying to spend as much time together with me before mommy and I had to say goodbye to daddy. When we took daddy to the airport the USO had a reading room where daddy got to pick out books to read to me on dvd that we got to keep. It makes it a little easier with him gone since I get to watch the dvd everday and see and hear my daddy reading to me! My one month birthday is approaching and I have already changed so much. Last week I already weighed 9 pounds and had gained 2" in length :) Mommy says I am looking more and more like a little person since my face is getting longer and my "baby face" is going away. Mommy and I are still trying to catch up on sleep and most days I eat every 3-4-5 hours although one day I went 6 and 7 hours all day and all night! Make sure you check out the four albums of pictures mommy posted, she finally got around to it!! I'll see you all after my one month birthday!

37 Weeks and Counting...

I am SO ready for this baby to come out!!! This week I am 37 weeks and have ballooned out, so much it literally looks like I have a beach ball for a stomach! My mom and I took more maternity photos (see slideshow) since I grew so much and I hope to cast my stomach before she comes. Jonathan will be coming home soon and my pills to stop early contractions have run out so we'll see who makes it here first :) I had my last sonogram last week where we found out she is already 7 pounds, has lots of hair and has a head over 9 cm... OUCH! I have installed the car seat and am putting together my birth plan and packing my bags... not to mention getting very nervous :) but Jonathan and I are more anxious to meet our baby girl and start our family!
