I Have a Big Brother!!!

Man, this world is pretty great. When I came out I already had a Mommy and a Daddy and even a big brother! His name is Aleric and he is really sweet to me. If I am sad he brings me my bear or my bink and he gives me eskimo kisses if I cry. This is a picture of him. I think he likes me too.

Me and my mommy

I spent a lot of time inside of this wonderful woman I've decided to call mom. Now I'm working on a whole new relationship from the outside. She sure is cuddly.

Sleepy me

This new world I discovered is very tiring. I've been sleeping a lot. Enjoy my cuteness.

I found something!

I never knew that there was more to this world that the dark warm place I've been living. I found out at 0708 today that there was. I also discovered that there are people out here and that I weigh 9lbs 14.5 oz! I'm not sure what that means, but it seems to make people excited when they hear it.

Mommy and Daddy want to know when you think I will be born. To encourage you to leave a response and let us know what you think, they have declared that (s)he who comes closest to the date/time, of my birth and my birth-weight will get the first phone call after I am born! This is a coveted honor and it only happens once, so get to guessing. Please only one guess per person. Make sure your guess contains date/time of birth and birth-weight, Daddy assures me he has some strange math function to figure out who came closest based on all three "parameters", that was his word not mine, I'd have said things. Anyways, have fun and good luck!

Note: I think I need to clarify something. Daddy didn't make this too clear to me when I first posted this so I had to pin him down and get some answers. Turns out their are tiers to the guesses. Grandparents are tier one and the guesses just determine which grandparent gets the first call and the order from there. The rest of the family (aunts, uncles, great grandparents) are in tier two. Then friends are just guessing for fun to show their support for my new blog. They will find out from the blog because I don't even think Mommy and Daddy have their numbers for most of them. Hope this makes sense to all of you and helps you understand what they are thinking. Also, keep in mind that no matter what position you end up in, you will know pretty darn quick, probably with 10 minutes of the first person. So don't freak out, they said they love you all.

A Lot of Commotion

These last two days there has been a lot of commotion. I keep hearing Mommy talk about something called a "Baby Shower". I feel pretty clean so I'm not sure that I really need a shower. So last night they were making cakes until midnight, which was a little frustrating because by the time Mommy went to bed I was so tired I had to sleep too. That meant that I couldn't kick Mommy as much and keep her up. So this morning they got up early and kept on making cakes. Daddy took a picture of the cake he made for Mommy's and my baby shower. He asked me if I would post it so here it is. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be, but they seem happy with it.

PS: Everyone kept telling Mommy and Daddy that it was really neat and that it tasted great.

A Sneezepee

Some may say that I have a twisted sense of humor, but hey, I'm only -2 months old! Mommy and I have grown pretty close over these last few months and I have begun to be able to predict when certain things are going to happen, such as... Oh I don't know, a sneeze. Every time she sneezes I get all squished up in here and it's not a lot of fun. I tried just kicking her in the diaphragm to tell her I didn't like it much, but that just makes her go "HHHUHUUUUH" and I think it scares everyone else in the room far more than it does her. So because of the lack of effect from the diaphragm kicks, I decided to switch gears. I decided to punch. What, I'm sure you are asking, is within punching range? Well, I have many options, most of which are fun. There is Mommy's kidney, which she really doesn't like and it's not fun for me so I haven't done it much. Then there is Mommy's stomach, but that is sort of a downward punch and I can't get much force so I don't like that one either. My favorite, is her bladder. I'm sure you know why. You don't? Oh. hehehe. I'll tell you. If I punch her there it makes her go "HHHUHUUUUH" just like the diaphragm which scares everyone in the room, but it also makes her have to pee! It's a two for one deal baby. So back to sneezing. To teach her not to sneeze I learned to time my punches to the exact moment of her sneeze. This took some practice but once I mastered it the effect was priceless. You see, when I do this she is so distracted by the sneeze that she pees. All at once. I think it's hilarious. She... does not. She did however learn to stop sneezing, which was the whole point of this little exercize. So, I win. :)
