HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

So, this is what Halloween is about? Putting me in a lame sleeper and taking my picture on a pumpkin? I forgot to mention that the stem of that dumb pumpkin is up my rear....thank heavens for diapers!! My Mom says that this day gets better....when it turns to night Simon and Helene are coming over and then people are going to give us candy??? Hmmm.....we'll see about that!!

Did You Know??

.....that my Aunt Mary came to visit me for a few days? We went to lunch TWO times...and I heard her and my Mom gossiping...but shhh don't tell anyone. And, they were laughing too loud; people were staring.
And, did you know that I have TWO Aunt Kelly's? Yup, TWO!! This Aunt Kelly is my Mom's sister...she's the one who designed my kick butt blog. She is also the Mom of my cousins, Simon and Helene. She also made me my blanket that I sleep with EVERY night...it's crocheted or knit or something...basically, its handmade!! This Aunt Kelly cried when she saw me for the first time....but, again, that's our little secret...don't tell anyone. My Mom said she cried because I'm so cute it took her breath away....but I think my Mom is full of crap already.

This Aunt Kelly is my Dad's sister. She is my cousin, Jack's, Mom. This picture is taken at a party my Mom's friends threw for me down in the So. Cal.. This Aunt Kelly made me a TON of receiving blankets that I love. She also just sent my Mom and Dad a DVD of how to tell what my cries mean....it has made my life a heck of a lot easier!! Thanks Aunt Kelly!!

Last but not least...this is my newest cousin Keira. She is one month younger than me exactly. She also weighed the same as me. She lives in New Mexico and I can't wait to meet her and her 3 brothers. She's cute, don't ya think....but, don't tell her I told you.

My Mom says to stay tuned for Halloween pictures. What's Halloween? I'm sure I'll be finding out soon enough.

Little Bit Sick

My Mom tells me that today I am 7 weeks old...she says that means 7 extra kisses today...see, she's nuts!! Nothing too exciting has happened this past week. I am experiencing my first cold so my parents won't take me too many places now. Being sick isn't much fun, but man you should see how fast my Mom and Dad react when I cough or sneeze. You think I was on fire or something. I'm feeling better now that I have a humidifier by my bed. I'm not as cranky anymore either. I heard my Dad telling my Mom that she got me sick from all the kisses she gives me....he of course was teasing her like he always does! But, I think my Mom feels guilty...you see, she works with sick people, so I think she thinks she brought it home from work and passed it on to me. I try to tell her it's not her fault, but she still doesn't understand all of my growling and grunting. So, here's some pictures from the last week....you can tell I'm still happy even though I was a wee bit sick.

This is me and my Dad taking a nap. My Mom loves to take these pictures. She says we're SOOOOOO cute!

This is me teasing my Mom with a half smile. I can't wait for Halloween!!

This is me kickin' it in my swing. I love this thing!! After my Mom and I get ready for the day we go downstairs, she puts me in my swing and I watch her wash all of my bottles. I usually fall asleep watching her clean the rest of the kitchen. I love my swing!!

My Aunt Mary is here to visit me. Good thing I'm feeling better. 'Til next time......

Watch Out...Here I Come!!

I should start out by thanking my Aunt Kelly for creating my awesome blog. It took her a month to do it because she got sick...and she's busy taking care of my cousins, Simon and Helene. I feel bad because my Mom wouldn't stop bugging her. She did a great job, don't you think?

The purpose of my blog is so that my Rachel can see how big I am getting. My Mom says its so she can see how handsome I am too....but you know how Mom's are...just a bit on the loopy side. This blog is also so my birth family can see how cute I am and how happy I am. It's also for all of my adoptive family who don't get to see me everyday. My Mom and Dad say that I look different everyday....but, like I said before....L.O.O.P.Y.!! Just between you and me....I can't believe how many people love me between my adoptive family and my birth family. That doesn't even count all of my friends who WISH they were my family. I like to think that I am more loved than any other kid out there. But, shhhh....that's our little secret.

This particualr post is just a glimpse into my almost 6 weeks here on earth. I'm going to introduce my Rachel to some of my family. My Mom says that we'll do more posts that show all of the parties that have been given in my honor. I'm a bit of a rockstar ya know. The pictures start from my first night at home all the way to my first visit to the pumpkin patch with my girlfriend, Kensley. So enjoy my pictures. And feel free to leave me a comment (I call it a "shout out") if you want to.

This is my favorite place to sleep....right up close to my Dad.

This is my Grandma Dee (my Dad's Mom).

This is my Uncle Dan (my Dad's OLDER brother). He came over the day after I came home from the hospital and made everybody lunch!! Nice huh?

This is my Grandpa Marv (my Dad's stepdad).

This is my Grandpa Bob (my Dad's dad).

This is my Grandma Shauna (my Mom's mom).

This is my Aunt Mary (my Mom's youngest sister).

This is my cousin Helene. She's nuts. She didn't like me right at first but now she can't stop kissing me!! My Dad says she didn't like me because I was gonna take away her time with him. But, since all I do is usually sleep when we see her, it's not a problem.

This is my cousin Simon. He adores me!! Everyone is amazed too. You see, he LOVES my Dad so everyone thought he was going to have a problem with me....they thought he'd be jealous. But, now I think he loves me more than he loves my Dad. See grown ups don't know SQUAT!!

This is me hangin with my Dad while he is supposedly "working". If I'm not being held I prefer to be in my "Boppy".

This is my cousin Chase. He's from Arizona. He came all that way just to see me!!

This is my cousin Christian. He's from Arizona also. Don't ask me what weird face he's making. 8 year olds are weird!!

This is my cousin Jack. He is one week older than me. Our Moms say we're gonna be best friends.

My Dad says that Jack has a big "melon".

This picture is dedicated to my Aunt Shaunee. She bought me my onesie and my Mom put those leg warmer things on me because Aunt Shaunee hates them. My Mom also says that I have giant cheeks in this picture. Which, by the way, she doesn't stop kissing! Gross!!

Again the cheeks. And, my hair is starting to "thin". My Dad says I'm going to look like Uncle Dan soon.

Oh...I love my "Boppy". I'm getting sleepy just looking at it.

My girlfriend's mom, Yannette, knit me and my woman, Kensley, matching pumpkin hats. So very embarrasing!!

My Mom insisted on taking a picture with the pumpkins even though it was F.R.E.E.Z.I.N.G. outside!! She woke me up from a nap just to do this!! Crazy lady!!

My Mom and me.

That's a lot of pictures huh? And, that's not even close to all of my family. I have one more Grandpa (my Mom's dad), but when I met him for the first time my Mom slacked in getting a picture of me with him. All that man does is stare at me and talk funny. Why do grown ups do that? Anyhow, I'm sure you'll meet all of my crazy family throughout the history of this blog. But, for now, I'm sleepy....'til next time.
