Sleepy place...

As a follow up to my blog about sleepy time, Aunt Kati thought she would post these pictures of my sleepy place, which she and Uncle John put together yesterday.


It's hard to tell now, but all those pieces are going to be a crib!


Uncle John read the directions, so he would be sure to put it together correctly.


Making progress...


There it is! Isn't that a nice sleepy place?

Sleepy Time!

Mommy and Daddy say that I sleep a lot, all I do is eat, poop and then sleep and every two hours I do it all over again! Here I am being a "big strong man" as Dad would say. I am flexing my biceps getting ready to start lifting weights like my Dad!



Obviously, I am not the only one who is tired all the time! Mommy and Daddy snooze with me because I guess I am pretty tiring.

This is Mommy's favorite snoozy picture of me. I get pretty tired after I poop and pee on Daddy, so thats why I don't have a shirt on.

My first trip to a restaurant

These pictures are a bit old, but I thought you might like seeing them anyway. They are from my first trip to eat at a restaurant. Well, I didn't get to eat the restaurant food but Mommy and Grandma Lyn and Aunt Kati did.

We went to a place called Red Robin. I snoozed in my seat while we waited for a table.


Aunt Kati thought this picture was funny, since we were sitting right by all the bottles of alcohol.


I even got a balloon!


A few days later, Mommy and Aunt Kati took me with them to a restaurant called L&L. They said it's one of my Daddy's favorites. And then the next day, I went with Mommy and Daddy and Aunt Kati to another place called Chipotle. So I am an expert at the restaurant thing now!

Bountiful baby blessings

John and I are amazingly, abundantly blessed by our friends. Since we are preparing to have Connor live with us, we need many baby things, and our friends have more than risen to the occasion, providing lots of goodies for him.

Here's the most recent stash, from our friend Julie.



Yes, she really gave Connor all that stuff! (The box and the trash bag are both FULL of cute clothes). I think it must be because she saw this blog, and he's so adorable she just couldn't resist spoiling him! THANKS JULIE!

My first bath

I had my first bath a while ago, but I have been so busy blogging about other things that I haven't had a chance to tell you about it until right now.

I was very good and patient for this first ablution experience, especially considering the fact that I do not like to be cold. I didn't cry much at all! Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Kati, and Grandma Lyn were all there. I am told - and I certainly hope that this is true - that future baths in my life will not have this large of an audience. Anyway, here are some pictures.


Here I am on a towel on the kitchen table, ready to get started with this washing thing. I can't have a bath in a sink or baby tub until my umbilical cord falls off, so it's sponge baths for me for now...


Aunt Kati got things started, cleaning my face.


Then Mommy took care of my hair and the rest of my body.


When it was all over, I was wrapped up in this towel with a hood to keep my head warm. Everyone said it was really cute, but I was just ready to have some clothes back on at that point...

Everybody loves my boppy

Aunt Kati suggested that Mommy get a boppy pillow for us. Mommy had never heard of a boppy before, but she decided to try it. So we went to the baby stuff store and bought one with a cute blue cover. Ever since then, everyone has been enjoying it!


Mommy likes to use the boppy when she feeds me. It makes it easier to hold me, so we can both relax while I eat.


Daddy goofs around with my boppy pillow. I hope he knows it is not really a turban!


Aunt Kati discovered my boppy is a pretty comfortable place to nap.


And so did I!

Visiting the Academy

My Mommy and Daddy go to school at a place called the Air Force Academy. We went for a visit there a few days after I was born, to meet some of the Doctors who took care of Mommy while she was pregnant with me. Everybody enjoyed seeing me. I mostly slept through the whole thing!



Yes, I know that was a short blog and I'm sorry. Aunt Kati and Mommy do all the typing for me, and they are both tired today. We'll do a longer blog tomorrow, okay?
