Snowsuit

I think this snowsuit is a little too big on me. Get me out of here! We're not in DC yet - we're in California!!

Bottle Feeding

Mama finally gave in and let Daddy bottle feed me (bottle feeding reminded her of my time in the hospital too much and plus she likes to feed me the good old fashioned natural way...). It was nice to have Daddy feed me for a change, though! :)

Hello!

Weight

Mama went to a meeting yesterday with other mommies that are trying to breastfeed, and she got to weigh me. I'm 12lbs2oz already!

First Bath

It took us a while to finally have a real bath. My belly button healed slowly and I really liked my sponge baths! But I think I like real baths, too!



All clean, though a little cranky... put me back in that nice, warm water!

New Project

Daddy decided to make some nightstands for Mama and Daddy's room. I got a hammer! What can I do? What can I do?!

1 month 1 week old

Just hanging out on this fine Sunday morning... :)

Shoes

Daddy saw these cool shoes at a sale we went to last week, and he wanted me to try them on. I think they're a little big...

1 month old!

Well, technically, I'm 1 month and one day old... Mama was supposed to take a picture of me yesterday, but I didn't give her a chance... :) Don't worry about my spots - the doctor said it's normal and will go away soon. Thanks for the outfit Uncle David and Aunt Mary! Look! Even my socks match! Congratulations on your engagement again. I'm so happy you're going to be my auntie, Mary!

Doctor's Visit

I went to the doctor's on Friday for my one month check up. I weighed 10lbs10oz. I gained almost 2 pounds in less than 3 weeks! Everything is good. I passed all the doctor's tests and probing. Yay me!

I wore Mama out...

Visitors!

Mama's family came to visit me last weekend. I love having guests! :)


Go Redskins!


Thank you for my outfit! Don't I look cool?!




Daddy and Auntie 'Liv went surfing...


... and caught some good waves!

3 weeks old

Mama got me washed, dressed, combed, and all presentable for my 3 week pictures. How do I look? ;)

Mama and James Pics

Mama's been complaining about how she doesn't get any good pictures with me, since whenever she's holding me, she's feeding me... So, Daddy took advantage of the 3 day weekend he took to hang out with us and got some pictures of Mama and me.

2 weeks old!

I'm 2 weeks old already!

Napping

Napping with Daddy.

First Days Home

I've been giving Mommy and Daddy a run for their money and keeping them up at night, which is why they haven't been so good about taking or posting new pictures. Here are a few of my first few days home.


First evening home.


Hanging out with Dad.


I fell asleep in my sling with Mommy carrying me, and then I was put in my crib for the first time. First nap in my crib!


Just had my dinner.


Ready to go to my first Doctor's visit!


On my way to Doctor's.

Waiting at Doctor's office with Babcia Alina. My Doctor's visit went great. I cried a little, but you would, too, if they made you get naked and prodded you in all sorts of places! The Doctor said all is well! I'm 8lbs12oz already and 22 inches long and in good health!

Going Home!

The day has finally come. I'm going home!


Breaking out of here! Thanks for the outfit Uncle Brian and Aunt Rebecca. :)


Daddy, get me out of here!


All ready to go.


Mommy's last wheel chair ride.

Ready to go, Daddy!


First car ride.


Welcome home, James.


My new room.


Me in the kitchen next to the pretty flowers Ciocia Ania sent me. Dziekuje! :)

Count down to home time

Counting down the days until James gets discharged from the hospital!


Last night with Nona. I will miss you Nona!


In 2 days we will be at home together at last!


Last night at the hospital. I'm so happy to be going home! Can't you tell? ;)
