Week 9

Well, 9 weeks old already.  Gosh!!  This week's fabric came from some of my cousins, the Spillane's.  They have four little kids, two girls and two boys and Jack and Will picked this fabric out for me because they LOVE tractors.  My sister has a tractor like this too, I hope someday she will let me play with it....I'm still too little right now.

Mommy picked out this fabric for this week because I got to meet this whole family last weekend and they were just the sweetest.  Ann brought Mommy a big tray of lasagna and the most wonderful brownies we've ever eaten at our house....seriously, as much as she talked about them I can't wait until I can try one myself!!

Week 8

This week's fabric came from my Auntie Erin - she's been living with us since I was born but Mommy said that she had to go back to NYC this past week.  I guess she really lives there, not in the basement.  She picked out this fabric because she travels all around the US doing shows, signing and dancing.  What a cool job!!  Mommy chose this fabric for this week because we're really missing Auntie a lot these days.  It was so fun having her living with us this summer.

What's new with me?  Well, the biggest thing is that I spelt for a whole 7.5 hours the other night.  Mommy didn't quite know what to do!  She kept getting up to check on me, but I was just snoozing away.  I'm smiling a lot more these days and am really getting good at holding my head up.  I don't even hate tummy time.  I do it for about 5 minutes before I get tired and mad.

See you next week!

Week 7

Holy moly.....we've been busy and it's tiring me out.  This past weekend was a big one for us.  It was my baptism and my sisters 3rd birthday.  I can't believe how many people came out to see us at church and then at our house after.  I don't think I touched my swing or the ground once yesterday.  I'm so excited I finally got to meet so many of my family members.  Many of them I was seeing for the first time.

First we went to a place called a church where there was a lot of signing and then this strange guy got my head all wet.  It was weird but I didn't cry, not even a little bit.  Then after church we all went back home and people kept coming and coming.  They brought all sorts of presents, some for me, and some for my sister, and then there was more singing and cupcakes.  I didn't have any though, mom says next year.

This week's fabric came from some of daddy's cousins, Cathy and Mike Casey.  I haven't met them yet but Cathy said she picked out this fabric because it reminds her of all the "delightful delicious gatherings we share during family our family day reunions".  Mommy picked it out for this week because we certainly did a lot of celebrating this weekend and she said my sister has had enough cake to last her a month.  HA!

Week 6

Smiles!!  And I actually let Mommy get a picture of it to share with you guys.  This weeks fabric came from Mom's friend, Jennifer.  She and Mommy used to work together at Sears but both of them have moved on to new jobs so they don't get to see each other as much as they'd like but they still get together for breakfast once a month or so.

Mommy picked out this fabric for this week because we just got back from 4 days of camping at Turkey Run State Park for the annual cousin's camping trip.  While we did sleep in the camper for over a week when I was just two weeks old, this was my first REAL camping trip.  We did all kinds of strange things like eat outside and play outside and basically do everything outside.  It was hot and humid the whole weekend and I was sure happy when we went in the camper with AC.  Actually, I was so happy that I slept for a whole 5 hours one night!!  Can you believe it?  Mommy can't wait til I start doing that more often. 

Week 5

I'm getting closer and closer to smiles....it almost looks like I'm smiling in this one.  I'm starting to sleep just a little bit longer at night, which mom LOVES.  I sleep one 4 hour stretch most nights and then the rest are 3 hours, but mommy thinks we're making progress.

This weeks fabric came from my cousins that live in Alabama; Karen, Matt, Maddie, Sam and Gabe.  They bought it for me because it looks just like the beaches by their house.  Cousin Karen said the beaches have sand so white it looks like snow....I've not seen snow yet, but it's still summer time.  Mom picked this fabric out for this week because it summer and we wear sandals every day.
