Today I got my picture taken. I wore my dedication outfit my Glamma got me. I also wore my Angels jersey. Daddy says the Angels are my favorite team. Mommy says I looked very handsome today and I was all smiles.
I went to the doctor's to get my 2 month shots. I was very brave and mommy held my hand. I cried a little but it was over fast. I weighed 12lbs 6oz! I'm 22 1/4 inches long! I'm growing, growing, growing. This is one of Mommy's favorite outfits. It doesn't fit me anymore and I've only worn it two times! Here is a picture of me on my bouncy seat laughing at the monkey that moves up and down. I get so excited!
Daddy and I gave mommy breakfast in bed. Well, I was already in their bed because I didn't want to sleep in my crib the night before. Remember, I like to snuggle. On Mother's Day we went to church, had lunch at mommy's favorite place and hung out as a family. It was a great day. She also got some really nice gifts.
I'm 2 months old. I weigh about 10lbs-11lbs. I go to the doctor in a few weeks to find out how much I weigh and to get my shots. I like to smile, laugh and talk. One of my favorite things to do is to be sit in my bouncy seat and laugh at the monkey. I'm now out of newborn clothes and I wear 0-3 months.
Mommy and her family say I look like her. Some of daddy's family says that too and some say I look like daddy. Most of their friends say I look like daddy. Here is a baby picture of mommy. I'm not quite as filled out as mommy in the face. I have to say I look a lot like mommy's baby pictures but look like daddy as an adult. Mommy and daddy say I have the best of both of them.
I'm four weeks old. I weigh 8lbs 6oz. I'm filling out newborn clothes and starting to fill out 0-3 months but only in a few outfits. Most of my wardrobe right now is newborn. I'm still long and skinny even though I'm gaining weight.
When I was 3 weeks old, Mommy and I drove to Orange County to see Glamma and Grandude. They miss me a lot! We got to see other friends and family too. I went to the school where Glamma teaches to see her students. Two weeks later, Mommy and I took an airplane ride to Orange County and stayed a whole week! We got to see more family friends.
Napping with mommy is one of my favorite things to do. I love to snuggle. When I was first born I liked to lay on her chest. Now that I'm a little bigger, I'll lay next to her. Glamma's dog likes to nap with us when we visit.
Daddy, Mommy, Glamma, Grandude, Great Grandpa, Uncle J.R. and I went church. It was my first time at church. After church we went out to Auntie Annie's in Reedley for lunch. This was the first time for me to meet the rest of my family including Uncle J.R. and Great Grandpa.
My first morning home, I awoke to find a Giant Stork in our yard. It stayed in our yard for two weeks and provided many picture opportunities. We even took pictures in our pajamas. Mommy was a little embaraced.
I had many visitors when I arrived at home, including a giant stork in our yard. Glamma and Grandude were there and Auntie Doe Doe. I got to meet my babysitter, Michelle. She helped mommy give me my first bath. I didn't like it but I look cute in my Tigger robe.

May every part of you be used for God's work and give glory to God for He is your creator. May your mind always be filled with pure thoughts and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
