Seven Weeks Old

Hi everyone! I've been busy these last three weeks learning about my world and haven't taken the time to write. It's a hard job trying to figure out how this body works. Actually, I just realized that I have arms and legs and spend a lot of time moving them to see what they can do. I already like to hold onto fistfuls of Mommy's hair whenever she's carrying me just like Thomas did. When I get mad, which I do sometimes because I've got a pretty bad temper, I like to swing my arm in a circle really fast. I hear my Mommy and Daddy giggling when that happens. Don't know what's so funny about it though. I have also learned how to smile and everyone seems to think it's really cute. I think so too which is why I'm attaching a couple pictures of my first smiles caught on camera. My mommy tried to get a picture of me smiling for two weeks but I was pretty stubborn and would only smile when the camera was nowhere near. But I finally decided to appease her and she took these pictures over the weekend.

I've had lots of people come visit me over the last few weeks and they all tried their best to spoil me. My Granny, Grandpa and Aunt Sandra came back to visit and Granny said she could really tell I'd grown a lot. My Gma and Two Pa, Mommy's grandparents, finally got to come see me and I had fun with them. I also got to meet my Uncle Jerry, Uncle Bobby, and "Uncle" Patty. And last weekend, my mommy's friend Jennifer flew all the way from Washington, D.C. to see me. I rewarded her with lots of smiles for that.

I've also been sleeping longer at night but I like to vary it just to keep my parents on their toes. Last night, I ate at 10, cried till 11, Daddy rocked me till 11:30 but I stayed awake the whole time, and then went to sleep at 11:35. I slept till 5 which is the longest I've slept so far. I'm still deciding if I want to wake up every 3 hours tonight just for fun. It's sure great being a newborn!
