Books and Blocks

I love Dr. Suess! My mommy reads me these books all the time! I love to watch Mommy reading them because she makes faces and talks in silly accents. She even read me two of them today because we were having so much fun! Thanks to Meri for getting us Horton Hears a Who and introducing us to the wonderful world of Dr. Seuss!

Also my mommy made me these blocks, but honestly I am not sure what to do with them, yet. :)

Turkey Day

My grandpa sent me a card for my first Turkey Day! He said, "Hurry up and get some teeth! The food is awesome!"

We are going to San Diego to Aunt Summer's and Uncle JEff's for Thanksgiving and I get to meet my cousins and bunches of other people!! Yippe, I am soo excited!

Daddy Time

My mommy got video of me and daddy hanging out... too bad she didn't get right before this when daddy was acting like a monkey! He makes me smile. :)

5K

My mommy used to run 5Ks and she was soo excited for this morning! She took me on my first 5K. It was right down the road from where we live! It was cold outside, so I decided to wear my penguin outfit to keep warm. Mommy and Merari ran and walked while pushing me and Leila the 3.1 miles. I took a nice 43 minutes nap... and we got a medal!!

#273!

Leila and her medal.

Merari and Mommy!

Potluck

Mommy and Daddy invited friends over yesterday! Leila and her mommy, Sophia and her mommy and daddy, and Trent and his mommy and daddy were here and we all had so much fun! Daddy made dinner on the grill and it looked soo good! I can't wait to be able to eat FOOD! He grilled gourmet style!

Here are the dads, my daddy, Trent's daddy, Taylor, and Sophia's daddy, Yusef.

And here are the moms, Trent's mommy, Ashley, Sophia's mommy, Yvetter, my mommy and Leila's mommy, Merari.

I think this is the last time I'll be wearing this outfit, it's getting too small. Here I am 7 weeks 4 days old
..remember when it was too big for me when i was 1 week and 2 days old?!

Hands and Feet

Today was another eventful day! I had four friends over, Sophia, Leila, Trent and Jacob, to make presents for our moms and dads. We pressed out feet and hands in clay! Honestly, I did Not enjoy it, but I guess it is worth it for Mommy. :) Yvette took a video of the moment...

In my defense, I had Just woken up from a nap, but none of us babies really enjoyed this process. Well, after showing Leila and Sophia my swings, we went to our favorite park, Prospect Park, to show my friends the pretty views and fun trails. THEN, when Daddy came home we hung out together for a long time and played with my toys until I feel asleep. Taking a nap on daddy is so nice. I am glad he is not sick anymore so we can hang out! :)

Shots

This morning Mommy took me to Baby Boot Camp. We went running! It was fun at first, I was checking out all the new ladies and kids and looking around a lot, and Mommy seemed to be enjoying herself, but honestly, after a while I got bored sitting there while she did exercises for an hour and a half... good thing I brought my pacifier to keep me entertained! If only I could get these darn hands to cooperate with me and help keep it in my mouth... some day soon!

Well, I got my first set of shots today... it wasn't so bad, luckily I brought my pacifier along with me again, cause it certainly helped bring me back to my happy place. But check out these Bugs Bunny bandaids on my thighs! These are way better then the bandaids from that mean lady who pricked my foot and took my blood ages ago.

Dr. Clark also weighed and measured me and I weigh 9 pounds, 13 ounces (26th percentile) and am 22 1/2 inches long (50th percentile) and my head size is 39 cm (45th percentile). Mommy was worried that I lost weight since Friday, but Dr. Clark wasn't, since scales can weigh differently... in fact, she said I am perfect! I already knew that, but it is nice to hear. :) Mommy asked a ton of questions and seemed satisfied that I really am fine, even though my poop can be watery and green sometimes and even though I tend to poop 8 times a day. Dr. Clark said some babies poop 14 times a day... while other babies may poop once every 14 days!

They also talked about my dry skin, looks like I will be getting a head scratch on occasion now to help with this cradle cap... olive oil, though, really?! We'll see.

Bumbo Seat!

I have a new seat!! I can sit up so tall and look all around the room! It's the coolest!!

"Huh? You taking my picture?"

'

"Cheese!

"More cheese."

"Yeah, I know I'm cute."

This morning my mommy and I went for another walk in Prospect Park. I took a nap, of course, but there is a really pretty view there! We walked up big hills and all around and in the orange groves. There are lots of different kinds of trees and flowers there too! Then we went home and played, Mommy and Daddy made faces at me and I smiled and tried to follow their eyes - it was the first time I played this game with Mommy! She also made a new toy with ribbons and tickles me with them, its fun!

Almost 10 pounds

On Friday Mommy had her last Moms Joining Moms class and got to weigh me... 9 pounds 15 ounces! These are Mommy's and my friends: Merari and Leila, Mommy and Me, Yvette and Sophia, Ashley and Trent, and in the back are Amber and Mason (the instructor) and Carrie and Adam!

Yesterday we went to Sophia's. I really liked her vibrating, rocking chair!!

The Many Faces of Noah

My mommy made this. He he!!!
