The first thing everyone says when they see me is 'Look at those cheeks'. It actually looks like I am storing nuts in them for the winter. My last visit to Nina and Papa we had a small discovery. I get them from Papa. Nina showed me an old baby picture of Papa Ray and there is no denying that those cheeks come from none other than Papa Ray!
What an adventure I had going to pick pumpkins. For my trip to the pumpkin patch I was joined by Aunt Pam and Clarissa who came for a visit. I got to experience the feeling of laying in hay while Isabella talked to me about the pumpkins. After she was finished telling me about the pumpkins she ran off to do some older kid things. 
That is when Momma helped me pick out my pumpkin. I am going to be a pumpkin for Halloween so stay tuned to see me in my costume. 
It didn’t take me long to get kicked out of Momma and Daddy’s room into my own room. It just took one long night of grunting all night long and that was it. Since then they are working on having me go to sleep on my own which means no holding me until I fall asleep. I have to have my nu-nu (pacifier) or just cry it out. Each night before I go to bed Isabella gives me tips on how to make it easier to fall asleep. Since she is older and is a good sleeper I figure that her tips must work. I especially like it when she holds me close to her as she tells me the tricks of the trade.
It seems as though I am not having any trouble growing because I weigh 8 lbs and am 20 1/2 inches long. That is almost double my birth weight! Pretty amazing. Before Isabella realizes it I will be retaliating for all of the little squeezes she gets in on me when Momma and Daddy aren't looking. I am getting good with my head control, the dreaded tummy time is paying off. After all I have to hold up my chubby little cheeks.
I had my first photo shoot this week. All the girls better watch out for me, so all of you Momma's with little girls my age look out. 
Because I got it going on, baby.
Well I have officially had my 1st full week at home. I have been loving every minute of it too! Momma and Daddy are much better at taking care of me than the nurses not that I didn't love them but Momma and Daddy have that special touch. Momma and Daddy are adjusting to my sleeping habits. Since Daddy is back at work Momma gets up with me for my nightly feedings but she is making sure she gets an afternoon nap each day with us. She says it is Daddy who will take care of me at night on the weekend. We will see how that works out.
Isabella has been making certain that I am attended to at all times as well. She makes sure that I don't take too long of a nap and she has a small obsession with my feet. Momma said it is because she loves shoes who knows one day maybe she will be a shoe designer or a podiatrist. She takes very good care of me -- her Brudder (brother). She also likes to tickle me and rub my head. She is working on being gentle and becoming very familiar with the word easy!
Nana came to help with my arrival at home. She took very good care of me and helped alot with making sure Isabella had lots of activities to keep her busy. She also made sure that I was held and pampered all the time with lots of kisses and hugs for her babykins.
