What a Bright World This Is!!

Since I came out of my mommy's tummy lot's of things have been happening!! But we will start from when the lights came on.

When I was born the doctor said I weighed 8lbs 11oz and everyone seemed so surprised!! I just kept on growing- I was trying to tell mommy by all the kicking around I was doing- I was running out of room in there! There were so many people looking at me and poking around all I could think to do was cry. This was all so very different from what I was used to. The air was sooo cool and soon I was wrapped up and a nurse took me to my mommy and daddy. I remembered those familiar voices.

Soon the room was filled with more big people. Some of the voices I recognized and that made me feel safe. Everyone talked about how much I looked like my daddy! They all said that we had the same feet. I also heard a lot of talk about all this hair on my head- I kept on trying to tell mommy I was going to have lots by all the indigestion I was giving her! We stayed in this bright place for a few days and soon me and mommy were whisked away and into what I now know as the car. I was so very tired after my first few days out of mommy's tummy and fell asleep.

When I awoke I heard more and more familiar sounds. It seemed like home. It was nice and warm and not as bright as that other place. I have my own protector here too. He is big and brown and his name is Marley. He always comes to check on me to make sure I am okay. I soon figured out that when I started to cry someone would put a bottle in my mouth or change my diaper and so far this has worked to my advantage. I have even started using this technique for other things too- like when I want to snuggle!

For the first few weeks I had lots of visitors. My grandparents would come and see me and sometimes even stay over night and take care of me while mommy and daddy got their rest. My cousins and aunts and uncles would come to see me and hold me. I think that was my favorite part- being held!

After a few weeks went by I got tired of that same ol' food and started spitting it back out. It was yucky and that was the only way I knew to let them know I didn't like it. We went to see the doctor and he changed my food. Hooray I thought! After tasting it- it tasted the same. I continued to spit it out... next thing I know they had me back in that bright place after not eating for what seemed like forever, under some kind of machine that took pictures of my insides! They put something else in my food that makes it a little harder to spit out so I give up on this one... for now.

I got to spend a lot of time with my mommy while my daddy had to go to work. I would cry and she would change my diaper and feed me and we would nap. Sometimes Grandmother or Gammy would come over and take care of me and mommy and we always had lots of fun. They would hold me and feed me and rock me to sleep. That is another one of my favorites- rocking!

Recently things have been very different. I haven't been seeing my mommy as much. We get into the car in the mornings and ride for a while. Most of the time I fall asleep and wake up at Grandmothers. She takes care of me all day. Sometimes we go for a car ride and I fall asleep again. I just can't resist that. Then after a while mommy comes to take me home and we do it all again.
