Hat

My daddy really likes this hat. In fact, he likes it so much, he let me wear it while I ate dinner last night!

I'm a Natural

Tonight, Dee Dee had her annual Christmas program at her school. Afterwards, I wanted to see if I was any good at the piano. I have to say, I think I have a knack for it!

My smile has gotten a lot bigger today! Just kiddin! Dee Dee used these to try to get her kids to smile during their performance. They definitely made my cousin Jasmine laugh!

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer

My daddy has something called a Secret Santa at work.

I don't really know what that means, I thought everyone knew who santa was.

Even though the gifts are supposed to be for daddy, someone left a present for me! This is my new Christmas towel. Don't I look cute?

Hurray for the Neonatologist!

Today, I had my follow up appointment with the Neonatologist from the special hospital where they made me all better.

I am such a big girl - I now weigh 11 pounds and am 23 inches long! I am in the 75th precentile for weight and the 95th precentile for height! Mommy said I may have not inherited the short gene after all.

The doctor did say that I have a small case of "flat head", which isn't a problem. Mom and Dad just have to work with me to lay on the other side of my head. Let me tell you, I haven't enjoyed it much tonight! I like to do things my way!

Excited

I am so excited about the new shoes that my Aunt Janie got for me! Mom wishes I had more clothes with red on them so that I could wear these all the time!

Happy

Last night, I slept ALL NIGHT LONG! Mommy was so surprised when she woke up at 6am and I was still snoozing! I was in a really good mood today, so I hope I can sleep all night again tonight.

Wanna hang out?

Look at how big I am getting!

Baby, It's cold outside

The Final Countdown

I really like music. In fact, here I am composing my first song - The Final Countdown by Europe.

What Christmas is all about

Daddy's song

Mom went to run errands today and when she came home, dad was singing to me on his guitar. Here is a song he made up for me:

You've got a bald little head
And you keep a chair in your bed
You're our Sadie Bug

You've got a dad that loves you lots
You've got a mom whose stinkin' hot
And she loves you too
ooh ooh ooh
What did we do?
Before there was you
What did we do?
Before we had you

You're learning how to make noise
And you've got some keys as toys
You're our Sadie Bug

You're learning how to focus and to glance
And you like to dance
When I play this song
I'll play it all night long
What did we do?
Before we had you
What did we do?
Before we had you

I can hold my bottle all by myself

Talking

I try to talk to mommy all the time, but I can only get sound to come out every once in a while.

My Boppy

I really like my Boppy pillow. In the evenings, mom and dad put me on it while they put up the laundry. I always really want to stay awake after daddy comes home, but it is so hard. I know I am not supposed to fall asleep if I am not in my crib, so I wait until mom and dad look away and then I go to sweet dreamland.

Look what I can do!

Today, I figured out that if I hold a rattle and move my whole body, it will make noise! (yes, Endless Love is playing the background...I like the classics)

Everyday!

When I was still in mommy's tummy I would get the hiccups everyday. Now, sometimes I get them twice a day! I think if I make noise they will go away.

Sushi

On Wednesday, I went to have sushi with my friends Michael and Maren. I haven't quite figured out how to use chop sticks yet, but the restaurant owner assured me that it wouldn't be long before I was a pro!

1-0

I am realllly tired today. I got a cold a few weeks ago and the pediatrician told mom and dad to let me sleep in my bouncy chair so my head would be elevated and my congestion wouldn't be so bad. Mom and dad were so excited about how well it worked...until they tried to put me in my crib without the bouncy seat. I cried for most of the night until about 4am, when mom finally decided that I needed some sleep and gave in. I was so happy to be back in the seat that I immediately stopped crying and slept soundly until it was time to eat this morning. I heard mom say that I can't sleep in my seat for much longer and that I need to sleep on my crib mattress. I am not sure how I feel about that now, but I am sure I will get used to it!
