9 weeks old

I am 9 weeks old today. I wore my heart dress that Auntie Caiti picked out. It was too big for Valentine's Day, so I waited to wear it. Mommy got some goofy grins out of me after Church during my photo shoot.

Random factoids about me:

-I love to talk, but I only do it when I feel like it- it's hard to coax it out of me.

-I'm losing my newborn cry and getting a big girl cry. In fact, when I realize I'm making a new noise, I try to keep making it, even if it means crying some more while my bottle waits.

-I like to smile at people.

-I don't like being naked, except in the tub.

-I am really good at farting.

-I don't burp very often, and spit-up even less. When I burp, it surprises me and my eyes get really big.

-I don't like tummy time very much, but I am getting really good at holding my head up.

-I love watching TV.

-I love my pacifier, known as my "plug" lots and lots.

-I sleep an average of 7 hours every night, then I wake up and make what Mommy calls my "turtle face" while I breathe fast and wait to get fed.

-I love trying to eat my fingers and fists.

Some recent pictures

Mommy let me fall asleep on her bed. This is me being way too tired for my 2-month photo shoot. Stretching when Mommy tried to wake me up

Trying out my swing again. I like it okay.

Staring at the green elephant. I usually stare at my toys for awhile, then get mad at them 'cause they won't play with me, so I cry.

I had my biggest explosion to date last night. More out of the diaper than in. Pampers aren't all they're cracked up to be.

And today I decided to be bug-eyed.

Two months old today!

I usually got to bed sometime around 11pm. Mommy would like it to be earlier, but then I'd get up earlier, so either way is not ideal... well, last night I didn't want to go to sleep. So here I am at the wee hours of the morning (about 12:30) on my 2 month birthday! Getting a little tired...

Getting really tired...

And I'm out.

I had my two month check up today. I am 10 lbs, 14 ounces (50th percentile) and 22.25 inches long (also 50th percentile). My head continues to be in the 75th percentile. I'm going to be a genius. I also got an oral vaccine- it didn't taste too bad, then three shots in my chubby thighs. That was NOT a pleasant experience. Mommy had never seen my face turn so red (and I screamed a lot and made real tears- a recent accomplishment of mine). But when she cuddled me afterwards I calmed down, and when I sucked on my plug I calmed down even more. I was a pretty good girl.

New bumper!

My breathable bumper finally came in the mail yesterday (and Mommy got me a crib mirror recently. I've thus far avoided looking in it). Mommy even tested it out by smothering her face in it to make sure she could breathe. It works!!!
So I don't have to do things like this anymore (and Mommy doesn't have to be so mean and make me keep crying while she takes pictures). You have to admit, I am getting better at my bed wiggles, though- I manage to take my blanket with me now.

8 weeks!

I'm 8 weeks old today! I wore my pretty purple dress from Grandma Ann today. Mommy still can't believe it fits me. When she pulled it out of the closet she thought it would be too big (but I would have worn it, anyway), but it fits great! I'm just growin' like a weed!

I fell over and Mommy thought it was so funny- I wasn't phased at all. I coulda hung out this way all day. But Mommy didn't let me.

St. Patrick's Day

On St. Patrick's Day Mommy and I took a trip to Wal-Mart and Toys R Us. I was asleep so she left me in my jammies, but added my Irish hat. Then when I got hungry at Toys R Us, she added my Irish bib.
This is when we got home. I like to stretch.

I wore this outfit (with jeans) to mutual (then over to the Shambaugh's). I kinda looked like a boy (except for the bows on my sleeves). A visiting girl thought I was. How rude.

Mommy let Mackenzie use the camera. She took 48 pictures of me (including this one).

So I stuck my feet in her face. :)

Vote for me!

Mommy entered me in the Great American Photo Contest. Click here and cast your vote! Yes, it's a random picture, but as you know, she takes so many it's hard to choose. And this is a fun, unique picture, so hey, why not?

Mommy bought me these cute booties at Toys R Us. They were on sale and she couldn't help herself. So I wore them to Enrichment last night.

With this outfit from Grandma Kimmy.

And when we got home Mommy put me in these jammies!

Toys

I like to look at my toys (but I got a little bored near the end)!

Yum!

My fist tastes ever so yummy. I just can't quite get full control of my arms and hands yet, though.

random pics

Sometimes Mommy forgets to put the SD card back into the camera, so she "loses" pictures of me. But she found these. This is the one of me sleeping with my face pressed against the edge of the crib. I am such a wiggle worm in my bed. Like my Nemo sheets?
Then Daddy made Boomster snuggle with me the other night while I cupped my nose in my sleep. Don't worry, I wasn't left alone this way. Mommy is very particular about no soft stuff near me.

7 weeks old!

I am 7 weeks old today! I'm rather proud of being 3/16ths Irish (thanks to my great-great grandparents Daniel O'Regan [born in Ireland], Catherine Feeney [also born in Ireland], and Helen McGivern [she was born in Canada, silly Irish woman]).

Sometimes I am bug-eyed. And sometimes I make goofy faces.

Then sometimes I kinda smile.

And sometimes I just chill.

I had tights on, but I had a rather large blowout after Church. Luckily my onesie absorbed most of the mess so my cute dress was still clean for my photo shoot.

Cute little ol' me

I took a nap on Daddy on Tuesday.

And last night we went to have cake and ice cream for Uncle Derek's birthday. Mommy put me in one of my very cutest outfits. It's one of the other things she got for me the day she knew for sure I was a girl. Grandma Ann made the booties for me.

Mommy finally got a brain and got a pacifier holder so my plug doesn't fall down so much.
