The (Not So Ghostly) Ghost of Grandma Florence

On the first floor of my building there is a very nice lady named Jeanne. She lives with her dog, Zoe. Although I prefer cuddling with Jeanne, an occasional French kiss with Zoe is nice too.

Jeanne buys me presents and she was my Valentine. She reminds mommy of her Grandma Florence who I never got to meet so it is nice that we can spend time with Jeanne instead.

Splish-splash I was takin' a bath!

Excuse me, please! Can't a guy get some privacy around here? I was a little skeptical at first, but now I LOVE bath time. Especially since I go in the big tub now. I kick and splash and get scrubbed up real good. Mom and Dad have finally figured out how to dry me without making me freak out. Hello, it is cold out there when I get out of the bath - get your act together people!

For those of you who have not seen it yet, you can see my scar now. It is below my right rib cage and about four inches wide. I know, you can barely see it. The Dr. said it will get smaller as I grow older, or maybe it will just look smaller because I'm going to be so big!

My last appointment was 2/17 and I weighed 14lbs., 8.2oz and was 27.5 inches long. I've probably grown a lot since then since I'm eating solid foods now. Yep, that's right, food.

A Day In the Life

Mom and I went to Whole Foods with Lara and Raphael. We ran into Ellie and Lukas and all ate lunch together. I was so hungry that I held my bottle for the first time. I did it again later in the day and Dad captured it on video.























































Today I sat in my Bumbo chair. My head is still a little wobbly so I am too little to be in there myself. I get by with a little help from my friends.














The rockier the pavement, the better I sleep. Roll baby roll!

Freebird

Well, I know I have not written much lately. It is not that I haven't wanted to. Just that I have so many things going on. I mean, no feeding tube AND I can roll over. I am pretty busy. Then I've got physical therapy and speech/feeding therapy. They are just starting this week, but I have a feeling I am going to go straight to the head of the class. Since it is just me, and they visit me at home, I am feeling pretty confident. I have entertained many visitors and my hosting skills are improving. I always insist mom or dad change a diaper when I have company, then I smile and coo for the fascinated onlookers. I know I have mentioned it before, but even strangers tell me so it must be true. I am so good-looking. Don't worry, I'm not letting it go to my head yet.

My First Hanukkah

Wheeee! I'm so close to turning over. Just a little bit further!

 Cousin Jody takes care of me. When I'm older I'm going to fix her up with some of my friends. She's a cougar!

 Aren't I a good photographer? I had assistance from gram & gramps, but just for a boost. When I get taller I'm going solo.

heh, heh, heh, i've got Grandpa Arnie eating out of the palm of my hand!
Mommy and Me. In from the cold.

My First Girlfriend!

 This is my first girlfriend, Harriet, she goes by Harrie for short. Our mommies are friends. Harrie is a cougar, she's exactly four months older than me. I am the man!

My First Thanksgiving

Mommy and Aunt Karen like pictures of me better than they like me.

Who knew Great Grandma Mildred knew so many dirty jokes?

Maybe if I pretend to sleep I won't have to tell Grandma I've already heard these dirty jokes?

It worked!

At the end of a great Turkey day I was chillin with Grandpa.

Peace out, y'all.
