So much has happened in the past few weeks since I've last written. At our last doctor's appointment, mommy and I found out I've grown two inches and am now about 23 inches long and I weigh over 10 lbs. Mommy kind of guessed that I'd hit that milestone because the newborn diapers didn't fit anymore. I am now officially a size 1 in Huggies! I'm still not sleeping through the night. I could if I wanted to (don't tell mom), but it's more fun to wake mom up a couple of times each night and have her make me a midnight snack. I sure do love Enfamil!
I've also discovered that I love to party! Mom and dad threw a housewarming party. I had a great time. I got to meet mommy's friends Elizabeth, Meg and Jen. Mommy's friend Meg is having a baby next February so I will have a friend to play with. I can't wait! I'm not quite sure why mommy and daddy felt like they needed to throw a party to warm the house especially because it's been so warm outside, but it was a good excuse to see all my friends. As you can tell from the picture above, my Great Uncle Dana and Godmother Erin had fun holding my cousin Lorelai and me. Auntie Erin came all the way from San Diego to meet me. Apparently, she makes this really funny voice that sounds like Kermit the Frog when she meets babies so for the past nine months I've been looking forward to hearing this voice but she didn't do it for me. Maybe next time?
The following weekend we hit the road and went down to the Cape for another party and a visit to meet my great-grandmother. What a party we went to! Nonna and Papa Coach's friends Tom and Jo threw a party in honor of Tom's 65th birthday and I was lucky enough to be invited. Mommy got a picture of Jo with Nonna, Papa Coach and me. Apparently, I frown a lot because one of the guests came up to me and he told me that if I keep frowning as much as I do then I will need botox before my first birthday. It might take a lot of effort to convince my parents that I should get a cosmetic procedure but maybe the botox fairy will make a surprise visit to my house. What everyone doesn't know is that I frown when I am checking out new surroundings because I am trying to absorb everything I see. Don't forget, it's not easy being five weeks old. It takes a lot of effort. That weekend I also met GG, my great-grandmother, and her friend Armeda. They took such good care of me. GG helped mom give me a bath. I love the towel that my mom's friend Erin gave to me. Not only do I look like a frog but it's comfy and it makes me smile.
Mom and dad have gone out on a couple of dates since I've been born. Secretly I get excited to spend time with other people because they are kind of boring sometimes. My Uncle Mike and Aunt Carolyn, Dziadzia and Grammi, and Nonna and Papa Coach have taken great care of me when my parents go out to hit the town without me. Dziadzia thought that I smiled and laughed last week when he babysat, but that was supposed to be our little secret. I wanted mom to think that the first time I smiled and laughed was a few days ago after she had given me a bath. It made her really happy when I gave her my dimpled smile. My parents just discovered that I have one dimple.
Love, Oliver
