Week 13

Wait Mommy....you have to go to work today?!?!  And I'm going where?

Today is my first day going to the babysitters but I'm not worried because I've got my big sister by my side.  She's been telling me about Kelly's house since the first day I came home so I'm excited to go.  Mommy?  She doesn't seem quite so excited.  Daddy took me to daycare today because I think Mommy didn't want to cry.

Going to daycare for the first time is a pretty big first but I had another big first this week as well.  I started rolling over from my back to my belly.  At first Mom thought it was just an accident but now I do it all the time.  I'm not very good at getting my arm out from under me but I do it from time to time.  Otherwise I just lay there and chew on my little hand.  I usually roll onto my right side and then over.  Sometimes when I roll back the other way though it's a little scary!

This weeks' fabric came from my Mom.  It's from one of her favorite fabric lines and this is the first time she's used one of the fabrics she picked for my photos.  I think she's feeling a little sad because I'm going to be gone all day so this way she has this cute picture to stare at all day if she wants.

Week 12

Three months old and I'm growing and changing every day.  This week I had two firsts but one was a big one.  I slept through the night for the first time!  Mommy was getting anxious because my big sister was sleeping through the night at 9 weeks, but I'm still not quite there.  At least I did it one time though.  She keeps saying "you can't have a second, until you have a first..." so I know she's hoping we can start doing that more often.  Is it my fault I'm still hungry for a snack in the middle of the night???  I also started sitting in the bumbo now which is super fun because I can sit up and see things happening around me instead of always laying on the floor.

This week's fabric is a little hard to see, but it says "I Love Lucy" in those little hearts.  It came from Daddy's cousin's new wife Kimmy Kat!  Mommy picked it for this week because they got married this past weekend and I got to go to my first wedding.  It was SO FUN and I was lucky to be one of the few kids allowed.  My sissy didn't even come with but I'm little so I got to go and hang out with all the adults.  The music was loud but everyone seemed like they were having a great time.  I did pretty well for awhile but Mommy took me home before the party ended because the music was a little too loud and kept waking me up.

Week 11

Go Buckeyes?? If you know my Daddy you know he's a Purdue fan all the way, so this fabric might seem a little strange.  It came from Mom's cousin Cathy and Bob and their daughter Cora.  They live in Ohio and are big Ohio State fans so that's why they picked this super cute fabric for me. 

Mommy picked it for this week because it was a BIG football week around here.  Not only was it the opening weekend for football, but it was the first Bears/Packers game of the season. Packers won, and if they win just ONE more game this year they'll be tied with the Bears for the overall record over the years.  My big sister has already pledged her allegiance to the Packers but I'm still up for grabs since I don't talk yet or pick out my own clothes.  Soon enough!

This week I started rolling on my side...not over yet, but I love to lay on my side and munch on my hands.  I also started laughing which Mommy seems to love.  I'm really ticklish right under my neck and Mommy loves to tickle me there.  I also do a lot of "talking" these days and have a lot to say...though you may not understand me yet. 

Week 10

Happy Labor day everyone! We're posting a little late in the day because we just got back from the lake.  It was so fun, but sooo hot! 

This week was a big one for me.  We went to see the doctor and I got my first shots.  They hurt and I cried but not for long.  I was a little fussy that afternoon, not very hungry and I slept a lot but by the next day I was feeling much better and like myself again.  I weigh 11 lbs 7 ozs (51%) and am 22 1/4 inches long (42%).  For comparison when my sister was 2 months old she weighed 10 lbs 11 ozs and was 21 1/2 inches long.  So I'm bigger....but not too to much!  That being said, I've almost outgrown my 3 month onsies and Mommy is hoping fall is coming soon because she doesn't want to buy any more summer clothes for me. 

This weeks fabric came from Mommy's friend, Mrs. Ware.  She's Jamie's mom and Stella's grandma and she was Mommy's principal when she was younger.  So, she got me this pretty school fabric.  Mommy used it this week because most of the kids have gone back to school already and most people think of Labor Day as the official end to summer.  Fall is right around the corner, which Mommy says means FOOTBALL!!  She seems really excited about it.

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!
