IU

Daddy and Mommy took me to my first IU football game today.  It was a lot of fun to watch football live.  I like watching sports on TV but this was totally different.  The P.A. guy was really loud though.  He hurt my ears.  He made me cry several times, not even the fireworks made me cry.  It was a good game and IU won. 

High Chair Time

Mommy and Daddy took me and my sisters to El Nopal on Friday night.  They decided to let me try sitting in a high chair.  I can’t sit up on my own yet but they put me in a padded highchair.  I really liked being up with everyone.  I sat in the highchair the whole time.  I sit in one at home all the time, but this was the first time at a restaurant.    The girls thought it was really cool that I was sitting in the high chair.  Mommy thinks I am getting so big, and there are going to be a lot of changes coming.

Five Months

I am five months old now.  I have done so much in my first five months of life.   I like talking to everyone and enjoy handing out laughs.  Everybody loves me because I am such a good baby and so much fun to be around or at least that is what my Mommy says.

Meeting Alice

I met my baby sitter Alice today.  She is going to keep me while Mommy and Daddy are at work.  I miss my Mommy and Riley, but Luciana is still with me.  She comes up from the basement and checks on me.  Alice is pretty nice.  She gives me bottles and I like that.  I hope I can get her to hold me more.

Four Month Check Up

I went to the doctor today.  I grew a lot.  Today I weighed 14 lbs 14 oz and was 25 1/2 inches long.  That is a lot more than at my two month check up.  We got to see Dr. Howell again today.  She is so nice to me.  She sits and talks to Mommy all about me and what I am doing.  I always have lots of smiles for her, but I don't have them for the other lady that comes in because she always gives me shots.  Today she gave me two more shots.  I cried because they hurt.  Mommy picked me up and cuddled me and made it all better.  Luci and Riley told me that I would be okay too.  That lady put two circus band-aids on my shots so I guess that was pretty cool.  Dr. Howell says that I don't have to come back until I am six months old.  That is good because that means I don't have to get any shots next month!

Four Months

I got to spend my four month birthday on the beach.  I am one lucky guy!  It was my family vacation at St. Petersburg, Florida.

I did a really good job on the ride down to Florida.  Daddy drove the van and Mommy rode in the front seat.  Riley, Luci, and I rode in the back seat.  They got to watch movies all the way down and I watched another little baby.  He cried every time I cried and laughed every time I laughed.  He really liked to talk to me.  I wish that I knew his name.






I went swimming in the pool for the first time.  At first I did not like the water, it was a little cold.  Mommy held me and that made it better.    I got to the beach for the first time.  I took a few naps on the beach.  The sun made me nice and warm, but there was a good breeze.  The girls loved to go to the beach and the pool. We all sat down in the ocean to get pictures.  That was okay, I sat on Mommy's lap.

My cousin Landon came on vacation with us too.  He really liked playing with Luciana and Riley.  He would come up and play with me too.  I think he really like playing with my monkey  from my jungle gym.

I had a really good first vacation.  I can't wait until next year when I get to swim in the pool more and dig in the sand with my sisters.

I Am a Child of God

I was baptized today.  I did a really good job.  I didn't even cry.  Aunt Kristie is my Godmother and Tio Brian is my Godfather.  We all went to church for my special day.  Father Eric (the second one, but the first one I met) baptized me.  He put oils on my head, poured water on my head, gave me a white gown, and gave me a lit candle.  I don't think Tio Brian liked that so he took the candle for me.  I don't think you are supposed to give babies candles anyway.






















After the baptism people came back to my house to eat and to give me presents.  I slept most of the time.  My Mommy had to open my presents for me.  I think she likes doing that stuff.  She says that Riley likes doing it more and that she used to be a professional present opener.  Landon gave me my favorite present.  See this cool football, it belongs in my mouth.  It is so easy for me to play with.  Isn't Landon the coolest cousin!

I am now a child of God.  These people better start taking me to church more.
