Big Changes Happening

The next couple of weeks after the wedding, there were some big changes in my life. After six weeks of being with my family, Mom had to go back to work. Fortunately, before I was born, Mom accepted a new position in a different school district. Last year, she told me that she had to work everyday of the week, now she only has to work two days a week. I get to go to the baby sitters on Monday's and Tuesday's. I miss my mom. Dad also had to go back to school. Mom said that he had to go to something called college. I don't know what that is, but when he gets home at night. The first thing that he does is kiss mom hello and grabs me. I think I have him wrapped around my little finger.

I also got to meet my great grandparents in Grand Rapids. This was the first time I have seen them since I was born. They live 2 1/2 hours away, so it is a long trip. My great grandpa was having a 90th birthday party. Boy what he has seen in his life time. I am only 2 months old, so I haven't seen very much. I can't believe what will change in this world by the time that I am that age. Those of you who visit my Aunt O'welly's blog probably read the post on him. Here is her blog if you would like to read more, www.hoodmama.blogspot.com.

Last week was a tough week. I had to go to the doctor and get my first shots. Notice that there is an "S" on the end of shot. There wasn't one shot, or two shots. I had to get four shots, two shots in each leg. I didn't like that very much, and I let everyone know about it. While I was there they took all my measurements. Here they are: I weight 12 lbs 15 oz (8lb 10 oz at birth). I was 23 1/2 inches long,the doctors office measured me at 21 1/2 inches four days after I was born, so I have grown a couple of inches. They also said that I am healthy and am in the 90th percentile on weight and length.

Catching Up

A lot of things have happened since the last entry. After the cottage trip, My Aunt Heather had a wedding shower the very next weekend. Of course, I was invited and my Moms side of the family was there. In this picture is me in the middle. My mom is holding me, my grandma is on my left ( I think that is my left), and my great grandma is on my other side. My mom called this a 4 generation picture. I don't understand what any of that means yet, but I like getting my picture taken anyway.

Here is my Aunt Mindy, Aunt Heather, and Mom at the shower. They always take pictures of the three of them when every they get together. During the day when I am at home, my mom tells me stories about growing up and how much fun it was.

The weekend after the wedding shower, what Uncle Will and Aunt Heathers wedding. Mom was standing up in the wedding and Dad was an usher, so sorry, but neither one of them was able to get any pictures. But let me tell you, it was a nice wedding and a very nice reception. At least that is what I have heard. I slept thru most of it.

Things are starting to make connections. A couple of days before the wedding, I was in my swing and I looked up and what did I see. This cute little face looking back a me. I would move my head and the little face would move. It was staring right at me. It didn't matter what I did, I could not get away from it. I looked at it for minutes, and then finally I heard mom and dad say to each other, "look, I think that she sees herself in the mirror on the swing". Then I realized who that cute little face with the chubby cheeks belongs to. IT WAS ME!!!!
