Our Wolfe trail: October 2009

6 weeks

I'm getting big!

I like bath time! Not a big fan of hair washing.

Yes, my belly is huge, mommy is worried about it but my Dr. doesn't seem to be

somebody is crawling now!

My cousin Little D. likes me now! He ignored me at the hospital-he was confused why I was no longer in mommy's belly

ready for Halloween!

Sorry I threw up down your tank Auntie

I'm becoming more aware of my environment and I'm relying on my soothie a little less. I am content to lay in my crib or sit in my bouncer for a little while making noises and looking around. I've had 2 nights where I've gone to bed around 1am and have slept until 7:00/7:30am. Mommy is thankful for nights like that. A fluke thing happened last night, mommy was napping and daddy laid me down for tummy time. He put my little hands close together under my chest and the next thing he knew, I rolled over to my back! I have found my hands and I put them in my mouth when I'm on my tummy, although I don't realize they are connected to me yet. I'm smiling for mommy and daddy mostly after my belly is full (for mommy) or when I throw up on mommy (for daddy). Life just keeps getting better!

a great reminder!

I love this quote. With all of the negativity that is around, Mother Theresa gives us some of life's greatest challenges:

People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It never was between you and them anyway.

1 month

I'm 10 lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long now! That means I'm in the 90th percentile for weight, 50th percentile for height, and my noggin is measuring in the 85th percentile! I love my mommy's milk even though I often spit it up. I am still not sure how to soothe myself that's why I'm so glad mommy and daddy are there to stick my "soothie" back in my mouth every time I spit it out and fuss-sometimes it tastes like poison and makes me gag. I can pass gas like a champ, I hear mommy sometimes ask daddy "Was that you?" I smiled twice for mommy yesterday and I'm always ready to make daddy smile when I make "ohs" with my little mouth. Nana says I'm the loudest baby she has ever met. I like to whinnie, grunt, whimper, sigh, screech, squeak and squawk when I sleep and eat. Mommy wonders if this means I'll be a very vocal extrovert someday...mommy analyzes everything too much! Sometimes my eyes look blue, sometimes hazel or gray. Dr. Jen says my eye color should be set by 6 months. Tummy time is not my favorite thing, it's hard work trying to lift up this melon! Bath time is becoming more enjoyable, it sure helps me sleep. I slept 5 hrs straight the other night after my bath. Mommy was so proud of me. Well, that's it for now...catch you all later!
