5 weeks old

5 weeks old and 9 pounds 1 ounce! (and thanks Patti for the cute Baby Gap shirt!)

Thanks Jackie and Rich for this cute onsie! I do still need to grow into it, but watch out ladies... Prince Charming is here!

My very own room

My Mommy finished putting my room together this weekend! Check it out! Thanks to Aunt Summer and Uncle Jeff for the cool farm decor set, and the crib, and all kinds of other great stuff too! And thanks to Michelle and Matt for tons of cool stuff, too, like the bouncer seat and travel swing. Gotta love hand-me-downs!! My mommy made some decorations too... the felt animals and the letters on the wall. She used to collect Grovers, which are mine now! He he!
This is me pretending I am going to take my first nap in the crib.
After 5 minutes I hollered for Mommy though!

tummy time

I was working hard today! Here's a video of me doing my Tummy Time!

My First Halloween

Pictures from Halloween day! I wore two of my costumes, the Pumpkin and the Skeleton. During the day Mommy and I played and danced together, but when it was time to carve pumpkins, I was just too tired (and cranky). We did go for a long walk that night, though, to see the Halloween Houses of Redlands! They were even better than the night before! There were so many people all around, all dressed up! Mommy put a blankey over my stroller most of the night to keep me warm and to keep the germs away. It is flu season you know! No one came to our house to trick-or-treat after all! Too bad I can't eat candy yet, because those tootsies look good! I am so excited for next Halloween!! I wonder what I should be next year!

My mom was taking too many pictures... and I had had enough at this point:

My first Halloween!

This is my friend, Sophia! She has on a super cool onsie with glow-in-the-dark ghosts on it! And check out that handmade candy corn hat - I am a little jealous! Her Mommy's name is Yvette and my mommy met her in a swim class. Now we take Yoga and Massage together and will be going for walks, too! Hooray for friends!

Tonight my mommy took me for a walk with a Meet Up group to look at the Hallween Houses of Redlands. Folks around here go all out for Halloween... my mommy seems to think this is very cool. Here are some of them, but they aren't even done yet... tomorrow night they will be totally ready. I hope we go for another walk to see!

Tonight I had a bath in the sink and I actually enjoyed it! I didn't cry one bit! Mommy and Daddy kept telling me I am such a big boy! :)

And I held my first toy!! What a night!

One Month Old!

Mid Yawn

And then I sleep!

For my one month birthday, Tim and Mom took me to Big Bear! THey rode the alpine slide! I can't wait to be big enough to do that, it looks like loads of fun!

Jumping with joy!

After that we went on a hike! The Park Ranger office closed at 4:30, right when we arrived, and they sent us to the nearby campground to get an Adventure Pass instead, but their kiosk was closed! Luckily the nice host, Sharon, let us park in their parking lot and told us about a trail by the lake! So off we went! The trail was narrow and bumpy, but I didn't mind... I like bumpy!!

All the trees were big and pretty!

But it was a bit chilly, so I got all bundled up! Mom was worried that my hat wasn't warm enough, so she even put a blanket on my head!

Big Bear Lake is pretty!

Here's Mommy pushing me around the trees...

Here's Uncle Tim!!

We also walked along the water for a while! That was nice!

Overall, it was a great one month birthday!

So in one month I have grown out of lots of clothes already! I was 18 1/2 inches long when I was born and 22 1/2 inches when I was 2 weeks old. I weighed 7 pounds and 2 ounces when I was born and at 2 weeks I weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces.

Some things I am proud and loved this month:

I can lift my head and turn it side to side and look around when I am laying on my tummy!

I can start to focus on my Mommy and Daddy's face!!

I found my thumb and love to suck on it from time to time! If my thumb isn't available I still like to try to eat my hands.

Mommy gave my a pacifier and I Looooove it!

I am losing my baby hair (and look like a little old man, so my mommy says).

I am starting to roll over onto my side (well, I did it once anyway!).

I am awake more often during the day and like to look around and dance and go for walks and swing!

I am getting massages and do Yoga with Mommy!

Grandma took tons of pictures when she was here and I finally had the chance to go through them. Here are my favorites over the next few posts:
