My Lost Friend

Well, actually Jen was never really lost, just her picture. In daddy's zeal to get all of the pictures properly downloaded, he accidentally put some of them in the wrong folder. This picture of mommy's work friend Jen did not end up in the correct file. I found it today and am correcting that wrong since I try to post pictures of everyone who comes to see me. It ended up with some some pictures of me after a tubby the other night, but again daddy told me that the internet is not now, nor ever, the proper forum for naked pictures of me. So here's me in my modest white onesy. I'll show them what I can do to a white onesy! Anyway, Jen told mommy that she'd be happy to keep me if M&D ever want to go out on date night. Looking forward to that!

My Visitors Redux

I keep thinking that my popularity might wane, but every week has continally brought new people to meet. M&D's old next door nieghbors, Erin and Noah, dropped by the other night and brought pasta. Yum! They seemed a little baby-struck when they left. Not sure if that's good or bad. Then early on Friday, my grandma Mogie and Aunt Annie came by to see me, I had met both of them several time before, glad they like me enough to come back! Then Daddy's work friend Jim and his wife Boo came by on Friday afternoon. Boo's been though four grand babies just like me, she held me and I stayed quiet for almost an hour. Saturday night, Daddy's work friend Matt and his wife Beth stopped by to meet me. They were too terrified to hold me, so no pictures for them. How do they think I'm going to publish them without pictures? Daddy told me that friends Chad and Angie are supposed to come by today. Angie's supposed to have a little girl playfriend for me sometime in early March. Can't wait to meet her. I'll be back later with pictures if they will pose for some. I assume they are less afraid of me than Beth and Matt, probably because they're going to have their own soon.

My Pink Polka Dots

I got a bath again last night. I'm getting better at those, I barely cried and I didn't wet my towel. Daddy says he likes clean smelling babies, then he went and dressed me in my pink polka dots. I've been wearing mostly premie clothes because I'm so small, but I must be getting bigger, these were a little snug on me.

Update: It's true I am getting bigger. I went to the doctor today for my 2 week check in and he weighed me. I'm finally more than I weighed when the stork brought me to mommy's hospital room. I tipped the scales at a whopping 6 lbs 15 oz. Up more than a pound from a week ago, and four oz. more than birth weight. Yay! Daddy says he's excited for me, but says I'll be upset when this happens to me fifteen years from now.

My Aunt Jane

More correctly, I guess I should say my great aunt Jane or my daddy's aunt Jane. She came to visit me recently. Less than a year ago, her daughter Mary Ann had a little girl delivered by stork, just like mommy and daddy. Ellie will be turning one in March, and as I understand it, she just said her first word "Dewey" which is her doggie. I'm looking forward to meeting my older cousin.

My First Outing

Daddy came home for lunch today. He

met with the life insurance man who tried to scare him into buying more by using little old me! Daddy had to go back to work after that, presumably to make enough money to pay for the insurance he just bought. So mommy took me shopping for the first time. We went to the store with a great big bullseye out front, not sure why, but mommy told me it's called Tahrjhay. She told me we had to go because we had entirely too much money in our checking account again. After daddy came home we went for a walk. I like walks in warm weather, daddy says it will get cold again, that sucks! Mommy carried me in the over the shoulder sling, I'm still deciding if I like that more or less than the jog stroller. I guess like most of life, it's just different. I can't wait for summer, daddy says there's something called "pitchers of margaritas on the front porch" I'm excited to learn more!

My Pop and DeeDee

I've introduced you to my family on daddy's side, but now it's time to showcase a little of mommy's side. Somehow, I had neglected to snap any pictures of them until now. Saturday, daddy had a 15 mile race he was running (don't ask me, I think he's crazy too) so mommy and I dropped him off at the start point. We then drove over to mommy's daddy's house for a photo op with Pop and DeeDee. They've been excited about my arrival for a long time. DeeDee even added me to her license plate before she even met me! It reads DeeDee 3, for me, Turner and James from one of my aforementioned posts. We stayed there for a while, and then went to see daddy finish up parts of his race. We saw him at mile 12, and he looked rough, but not so bad as he did at the finish. He whined to mommy about how much he hurt for the rest of the day. Good for mommy, she told him to "suck it up"!

My Daddy's Friends

Alright, so I am being a little disingenuous here, some of these are mommy's friends too, but I thought the title "My Mommy and Daddy's Friends come to Visit this Weekend" was a little long, I don't want to screw up the margins. The first picture is daddy's fraternity brothers, Jonny Mac, McKee and Benny who came to meet me Friday. Josh McKee has twin boys due in two months, in addition to his son Ian, can't wait to have friends to play with! Uncles Jon and Benny came in from Maryland and Va. Beach respectively with their significant others. The next two pictures are Aunt Abby and Uncle Erik and their twin girls Josie and Riley. They came over for lunch on Saturday, how am I the only one who doesn't have a twin?
