It's Good to Be Seen

I'm always so excited when Mommy and Daddy come into my room after a nap... not so much when it's anyone unexpected coming in -- sorry Grandpa! In this case it was Mommy and combine that with the camera she had and now you have 2 of my favorite things together which explains the ear-to-ear grin I'm sporting. As you can see by the mutliple pacifiers strewn about my crib, my folks have learned the trick to keeping me happy throughout the night or naps is to make sure there's always a paci within arm's reach. Hopefully one day soon paci's will be passe for me.

Will It Go Round in Circles

Check out the cool wall art Mommy and Auntie Em made for my room. Pretty fancy, aye?

This is Where the Magic Happens...

Check out my fancy digs. Mommy and daddy decked out my room in a funky Glenna Jean scribbles pattern. Pretty chic, aye? I am definitely the coolest baby on the block. That window valance and drapes were a present from my Great-Aunt Yael, Great-Uncle Tony and cousins Aaron and Evan. And the blanket and crib set were gifts from Lisa's work friend Priscilla. Can't wait to meet you guys and thank you in person.

Month 8

My dresser sure is filling up. So is Mommy's belly! I'm now almost 5 and a half pounds. The doctors say I'm pretty average (50th percentile for size) but Mommy and Daddy think I'm special. In fact, Mommy thinks I'm breathtaking but that might be because I nestle my butt right under her ribs and push on her lungs.

Month 7

The 3rd trimester is here. So is my new dresser (no, we didn't get rid of Winnie... just moved him into the closet). Check out those cool panels Mommy painted to hang up in my room. I'm about 3 pounds now and can open and close my eyes. Mommy and Daddy are doing lots of shopping for me now, making sure to dot all the eyes and cross all the tees, err... onesies.

Month 6

You might be wondering about that picture in the background. That was made by my Great Grandma Lotte or Oma as everyone called her. I'm going to be named after her. My middle name Lily is in her memory. I hope I can grow up to be as strong and loving as her. I weigh about 1 and a half pounds now and my wrinkled skin is starting to smooth out. You might say as smooth as a baby's butt but in this case it would be literally.

Month 5

Now you can see me poking out a bit. You can also see Mommy and Daddy starting to get my room ready. That dresser in the corner is the one my Mommy used when she was a little girl. Grandma and Grandpa drove it up all the way from Ohio for me. It has Winnie the Pooh on it. It won't be long before it'll have other pooh on it.
