1st day of school

Today was a big milestone for me. I went to school! I got to play with new toys and people, and see lots of babies. I ate lots of milk out of bottles and took some naps. The teachers said I liked the activity mat a lot. Mommy came at lunchtime to feed me and play a little. She also went to school today, but I don't think she had as much fun as I did.

More school tomorrow! I'd better rest so I can be ready for my day.

Nanna & Aunt Ethan

Yay! I finally got to meet my Nanna and my Aunt Ethan. I was kind of shy the last time they came to visit and spent the entire time inside Mommy's tummy. Turns out, my new relatives are pretty neat when I'm on the outside, too!

Nanna likes to talk and smile with me.

Aunt Ethan is especially fun. Maybe it's because she's 12 years old? I can't wait to get some motor control so I can play with her!

Mad Skillz

As my doctor noticed at my last check-up, all that Tummy Time is paying off. Just check out how well I can prop myself up:I must have some huge muscles!! Not only can I lift my head up well, but (not unlike the fiddler crab) I am now able to scoop objects toward my mouth -- all the better to experience them fully. Today's experiences included my burp cloth and Skwish toy, among others.

So, that's the news. I gots me some mad new skillz.

Preppy is back

Having been declared a whopping a whopping 15 pounds at my check-up yesterday, it became obvious it was time for a new wardrobe. Fit-wise, my 0-3 month clothes weren't cutting it. Fortunately, thanks to my Grandmas and Aunts, I had some pretty sweet outfits in reserve, including this one:

Preppy is back! 'Nuff said.

Happy B-day, Grandpa!

What can I say? I've had only one birthday myself, and don't remember it so fondly (lots of squeezing, bright lights, and cold air), so I can't figure out why everyone gets so excited about birthdays. Regardless, I hope Grandpa had a happy one! I wonder if he got squeezed.

Unca Sean

It turns out Mommy has something called a "brother", which means I have an "uncle!" His name is Sean, and he came to visit last weekend. He knows a lot about babies, so I liked him right away. Plus, he's super-tall, so I can see a lot over his shoulder:
We had a really fun time with Uncle Sean, and we can't wait to see him again soon.

Cutest. Boy. Ever.

There are those among you who, for your own reasons, will disagree with my claim. To you, I ask you to gaze again upon my countenance:

Now, that's just CUTE.
