week 7

this was a pretty slow picture week, but we've got a few to show. my mom had her 6 week post partum visit this week, and she read over the notes from my birth. she was pretty surprised to find out that it only took 10 minutes to push me out instead of 25...i guess it felt longer than it really was...talk about time distortion.

mom also had me weighed while we were there...11lbs 13.5 ounces. i'm growing like a weed (as i've heard they say in texas). since i'm growing so fast, mom decided to put on some house shoes i got from sis. deen before i outgrow them...she was just in time.

here's the full body shot...you can't really tell, but i've got on a coordinating ducky gown. my dad says it's never too early to start coordinating :o)

too cute!

as promised, here's a picture with my grandpa sumpter...along with grandma sumpter and my dad. see the family resemblance. this was my first trip to TGI Friday's and i can't wait until i'm big enough to have some of that oreo cake...yummy!

week 6

i made my debut at church this week...this is dad getting me all strapped in and ready to go. there were lots of people who had been waiting 9 months to see me. i've got lots of aunties to shower me with loads of affection...and they even bring food over for my mom and dad.

i also made my debut at penn (where mommy works and goes to school). i've got lots of aunties there too. by the time i came home, i was pooped. giving all that love away and looking so cute can wear a fella out.

speaking of wearing a fella out, mom told me i needed to start pulling my weight (which is definitely more than 10lbs 5oz by now) around the house and fold my own clothes. aren't there laws against this somewhere????

i also went to visit my buddy jude. he was supposed to be born after me, but he was in a hurry to make his debut, so he's older than me. we took turns crying to see who's technique was better...

......it was a draw.

my dad's mom and dad came to visit us all the way from florida. i've got more grandparents to love on me...this is great. this is me with grandma sumpter...i'll have to get a shot of me and grandpa sumpter up on next week's post, so stay tuned.

week 5

we had lots of excitement this week. my aunt monica and aunt claudia came by to see me (sorry we didn't get a picture aunt claudia...next time).

i went to the pediatrician and weighed in at 10 pounds 5 ounces!!! no wonder mommy complains of her arms falling alseep when i lay on them too long.

we had really nice weather (in the 60s) a couple days this week, so mom and i went for a stroll around the neighborhood.

i had fun looking at all the trees, birds, and i even saw a doggie or two. but the ride was very bumpy...the snap n' go needs new shocks :o).

my mom went out and bought me a bouncie seat since my human bouncie (AKA mimaw) had to go back home. this one is ok, but fisher price really should take notes from mimaw and make a bouncie that hums nice lullabies in your ear while you rock. there's dad again (my hero) putting it together...what would i do without him?

my mom finally agreed that i look like dad in this picture. don't i look like such a big boy? mom had to hurry up and snap the picture because i was starting to fall over. i'm not that big yet.

my mom cracks me up sometimes. i'm starting to smile more and more, and she was actually able to catch me.

this week was filled with another first...my first bottle. and mom was worried i might not take it. as long as it had the good stuff coming out, bring it on. i was a little confused at first...dad...milk...it didn't quite add up, but i caught on pretty quickly and downed a couple ounces.

stay tuned to see what fun things happen next week...

the great debate

the great debate rages on...who do i look like? mom posted some pix of her and dad when they were little (hard to believe my dad was ever little)...you be the judge

week 4

week 4 was kind of sad...my mimaw and grandpa jack went back to texas, but here's a picture of me, and my two favorite reindeer...my mom, and mimaw (hint...i'm in the sling)

my dad also went back to work this week, but not before we got some quality time in. mom said dad can teach me how to read but not how to snore :o)

my dad also put the finishing touches on my room. they had to wait until i got here before giving my name to the monkey to hold. i've got the coolest room ever, i love to just stare at all the jungle animals my dad painted for me...way to go pop!

i've also got a major case of cradle cap, so mom gave me my first hot oil treatment (ok so it was

room temperature oil, but it still felt good). i spent my new year's eve night having my first non-sponge bath in the sink (eat your heart out ryan seacrest). i liked it at first, but dad took too long getting the camera and i changed my mind.

i turn 4 weeks old on sunday the 6th and i go back to the pediatrician on the 9th, so i'm sure i'll have lots to talk about next week...until then...
