I'm 6 weeks old!!

Hi Everyone! Well, another week has gone by, and I am now 6 weeks old. Where did the time go?? It's been a week full of sleeping, crying, eating, and pooping, and I'm having fun. I also had a lil milestone this week, as I cracked my first smile for Dad, and then Grandma Herrick. I still haven't smiled for Mom yet, even though she's with me almost 24/7, but her time will come....I think she's a lil sad though. Once they can catch me smiling on camera, I'll post it on here for you all to see. =)

I had a pediatrician appointment last week, and I gained some weight, and I grew some!! Yeah! When I was born, I was 9lbs and 20.5 inches long, but now I am 10.4lbs and 22 3/4" in long!! I'm a big boy now!!

Mom an Dad took me to Sears to get my 1 month pictures done. Since our appointment was late in the evening, before they closed, and I was very fussy during the shoot, they didn't have time to look at the pictures, so when they go back to choose the ones they want, I'll post them here for you all to see. While we were at Sears, the photographers all thought I was VERY cute, and they also thought it was hilarious when I peed all over their photo drape, twice, when I took naked pictures. That's what they all get for making me pose nude!! I showed them!! The photographer wished she had gotten it on camera, but I was too quick for her. HA HA! When we got home after the photo-shoot, although exhausted, Mom and Dad took a few pictures, which I think came out pretty cute!

Here I am with Daddy. Boy, he is tall! I look so tiny when I'm up against him! I hope to be big and strong like he is!!


Since Mom is the shutterbug, there aren't too many pics of the 2 of us, so Daddy took a few pics for Mom. Here I am wondering what she's looking at!

And here she is showing me off.

Here is a picture of all of Mommy's boys!! Aren't we cute??? Our dog Mick likes to give Daddy hugs, when he is sitting on the couch, and he even gives me licks on my feet, my hands and sometimes my head...He's so sweet!! When I first came home, Mick didn't know who I was, or what I was, so he would hide behind the chair, or he'd run upstairs when I was crying. I'd do the same thing because I tend to have a high pitch cry that can break your ear-drum!

Here I am sitting on Daddy's tummy. This isn't exactly what I meant when I said I wanted "Tummy Time"!!!


This is more what I meant!! Mommy bought me a new "tummy time" mat. I'm not really into it yet, but it was nice to not be on my back like a turtle who can't roll over!!



So...what are you looking at? HUH??



Yesterday Mommy dressed me up in a funny onesie that has a saying that is "so true". Here I am modeling it off, while sleeping. If you can't read it, it says, "Nothing's wrong. Just testing you!"

Mom bought another funny onesie that I wore a few days ago. Here is as closeup. If you can't read it, it says, "Stud Muffin seeking cute babe. Must have own crib and loves to rock. whiners need not apply. Call 555-BABY". If you know of any cute babes, let me know. I may be 6 weeks old, but I've got my game on...but I ain't no player!!

Yesterday, my Great Grandma Morgan (that's her last name) came over to visit from Yuba City. She is my only living great grandparent. It was nice to meet her, but I think I slept the whole time she was there, which I felt bad about. I was wide awake right before she got there. Great Grandma Morgan has visited all 4 of her great grandchildren in the past month. She just visited Mommy's cousin Matthew's kids in Oregon (though they live is Missouri). I think their names are Ainsly (she's the oldest and is like 4yrs old or so), and then twin girls Brianna and Christina who are 2yrs old. I'm the only boy so far on Great Grandma Morgan's side.

(Speaking of 2nd cousins, I think I have at least 8 2nd cousins!! WOW! I have one 2nd cousin on my Daddy's side, so far. His cousin Allison has a baby girl named Isabella, who is about 3 months. Then Mommy's other cousin Matthew has a boy named Dylan who is turning 4 this November, and then Matthew's brother Robert has 3 girls, Amber who is around 12, Ashley who is about 7, and then Allison who is around 2. There seem to be lots of girls!! Dylan and I gotta represent the boys!!)

Back to (Great) Grandma Morgan. When she was here, she gave me some cool presents. She gave me some cool rattle booties by Lamaze, that have a bunny and a bear that rattle each time I move my feet.

She also gave me a very nice pewter Noah's Ark piggy bank, and she even filled it with some cool money - quarters, 1/2 dollars, gold dollars, etc!! I'M RICH!! Thank You (Great) Grandma!!

This morning, Daddy brought in a gift for me, that had been in his car for a few days. He stopped off at Mommy's old work (Bank of Marin) a few days ago, and Irene had a gift for me!! She is so sweet. She gave a beautiful blue and white checkered blanket for my crib, by "Ten Bears Inc". Thank you Irene!!

That is it for now. I'll tell you more about what I'm doing in the coming days/weeks! Talk to you soon. Feel free to leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you!! Bye Bye!!
