Is that Pooh?


Is that Pooh, hanging over my swing? I love to watch the mobile that is over my swing. Pooh, Piglet, and Eyeore just float right by...
I have had a rough weekend. I don't really want to take naps so I fight them until I am so tired all I can do is cry... it's a good think that my adoptive parents are so patient with me. I cried a lot this weekend and they didn't even get mad. They just rocked me and rocked me.
I did get to see my birthparents on Saturday at their new apartment. That was really fun. I love them so much. It was fun to play with them for a minute.
My mom is getting ready for work so I need to get dressed. I hope everyone has a Happy Monday! ;)

My 2 Favorite Things


My 2 favorite things.... My Hands and Watching TV. Usually I sit on the couch with my adoptive dad to watch TV, but tonight he is working so I am hanging out with my adoptive mom. Although I didn't keep my end of the bargain (I cried a lot tonight - I was really tired), she is still posting a picture of me.
Maybe tomorrow will be better and she'll get some great pictures of me to share. Good Night, don't let the bed bugs bite! :)

Trying hard not to smile....


I've noticed that my adoptive mom hasn't been very good about posting pictures lately. We've had a talk about it and she promised me she would be better. She has gone back to work and is busy, but I promised to be good a few nights every week so she can post pictures of me.
I love to smile and giggle, but I don't want it be be caught on camera (aren't I sneaky?). My adoptive mom tried really hard on Sunday to catch me smiling on film, but not luck. I did get to wear my hair bow for the first time - don't I look pretty?
My adoptive mom told me last weekend, that it's like I grew up over night. She said she looked at me on Friday morning and realized that I'm not a newborn anymore. I am having a lot more fun that I did as a newborn! I am trying to roll over and I love my hands, they are the best toy ever! I even like my rattles now, but I can't hold them for very long. I am trying to sleep longer at night. Some nights I even sleep for 6 hours at a time, but usually I sleep for 3-4. I am eating about 4 ozs at each feeding, and my adoptive dad told me that I can burp like a champ!
My adoptive mom needs to get to bed so that she can get a little sleep before I wake her up for my baba (bottle). Sweet Dreams! :)

Now that is comfortable!


Now, that's what I call comfort.... This is my favorite sleeping position. Don't you think it looks comfortable? My adoptive parents don't think so. They just don't know what comfort is!

This is so much fun!

I think this toy is my new favorite. It moves, plays music and moos at me! I love it! When I wave my arms and touch any of the parts, everyone gets so excited!!!! They clap and cheer and tell me how wonderful I am. Now, tell the truth, wouldn't all of you like to have a toy like that?

This last week has been full of firsts for me. I discovered that I take my hands wherever I go and they taste way better than my binky. I learned that when I kick and wave my arms wildly, everyone cheers and thinks I am better anything else. Being the center of attention suits me just fine.... I have also discovered that I can coo and make all sorts of babbling noises and they get repeated back to me. WOW! it's been an adventurous week.

Look - A New Toy


I have a new favorite toy. It is a black and white spotted cow. It had a rattle inside and when someone touches it, it makes a crinkly sound....

Okay, I do like my cow, but my new favorite toy is really MY HANDS. Do you know how fun they are? Plus, they go with me wherever I go. Isn't that great! Sometimes they make noise and sometimes they are quiet. I haven't quite figured out why that is, but I really like my hands. My fingers are just the perfect size to fit into my mouth and they usually taste pretty darn good. I even love just watching my hands move in and out of my vision. How do they do that? They are amazing!

Can't I just sleep?


Since I got my shots on Friday, all I want to do is sleep. Don't I look comfortable though? Now that I've slept all weekend, I'm ready to go now. Of course, my adoptive mom says it's bedtime, I just want to play... Who do you think will win?
I did go to the zoo on Friday, but we didn't stay long and I slept the whole time - so, no photo opportunities were available. Maybe next time.

Do you like my new hat?

What do you think of my new hat? Cute, huh! My adoptive mom has been really bad lately about posting pictures. She feels really bad. I think that I am wearing her out.... I had my 2-month (8-week) doctor appointment today. I weighed 10 lbs and was 22 1/2 inches long. The doctor said that I looked great and he thought that I was doing wonderful. Then they gave me my shots. They hurt really bad. I cried so hard it made my adoptive mom cry to. It really, really hurt. I don't ever want to go back there again if they are going to give me shots when I go. Yucky!

Tonight, my adoptive dad's employer is having their summer party at the zoo. My adoptive dad has been so excited to take me. I hope that I feel a little better so that I don't disappointment him by being sad and fussy. Maybe we'll get some good pictures that we can post tomorrow....

Hope you are all doing well - I'm enjoying my nap time today.... zzzz
