Look at my little doggie! He is my first pet! Mommy made him for me when I was still in her tummy. I’m still a little too young to play with him, but I’m sure he’s going to be my bestest playmate! Mommy and Daddy are making a prediction that the poor doggie’s fur willContinue reading “My first pet”

I like hanging out with Daddy. We just talk about stuff, stare at each other, and bring each other a lot of comfort. We don’t really have to do much to enjoy this time together.

I like my home. Did you know it has a garden view? It might not be much, but it’s quite nice for being in the middle of a large city of 1.5 million people. We have a bunch of herbs and are waiting for our tomato, potato, and lemon plants to produce. The lettuce andContinue reading “Garden View”

Oh, do you know what today is? It is my half-sister Katie’s birthday! She is 15 years old today! I haven’t been able to meet her yet, but I really want to see her as soon as possible. I’m sure she has a lot of things to teach me. Like what the first 15 yearsContinue reading “Happy Birthday Katie!”

Daddy gave me a bath today. I think he did a pretty good job. There were slightly fewer tears. He had a good teacher (Mommy), he had a good subject (me), and he has bigger hands which makes the whole process a lot easier. He was also quite fast, so that meant the bath waterContinue reading “Bath Time with Daddy”

It is a very good morning. I had a good sleep, 4 and 5 hours between feeding, so I woke up in a pretty good mood. Even better, Mommy and Daddy woke up well rested. They both woke up to feed me. Daddy made my supplementary formula while Mommy breastfed me. I saw some goodContinue reading “Good morning!”

What a long day. It’s not easy being a baby. There is so much to do. No matter how tough it is, I am loving the fact that we are doing it as a family. It is so much nicer at home than at the hospital. Today was my first full day at home andContinue reading “Long day”

In general, I think I’m a very good boy. I’m not very fussy and I don’t really give Mommy and Daddy a hard time. In fact, I think I’m quite even tempered. But my moods can change in an instant. One moment I can be quiet and peaceful and then I’m crying in an instant.Continue reading “Mood swings”

I’m not a big fan of bath time yet. I like being clean, but do I have go through a bath to do it? I don’t know what it is, but it is not very fun for me. Maybe it is being naked or being dunked in water or just everything put together. It isContinue reading “Bath Time”

I tried out my sling today. I’m not sure how I feel about it. It is a bit constricting, and you know how I feel about being constricted. I get to feel secure and be rocked, but I’m not sure whether I prefer that over just being in Mommy and Daddy’s arms. I know itContinue reading “Sling”

I mentioned before how Mommy and Daddy are always staring at me, right? Well, I give as good as I get. I stare at them a lot, too. As interesting as I am to them, they are equally interesting to me. They love watching me make weird facial expressions, but they don’t realize the strangeContinue reading “I see you”

I have a very good appetite and can’t wait for feeding time. I am mainly breastfed, but have to supplement with formula. I usually suck that bottle dry in less than 30 seconds. Of course it isn’t a full bottle, just 20ml. But for me that 20ml has a big effect on when I getContinue reading “Good Appetite”

Another one of those videos where not much is going on. Apparently Mommy and Daddy took this video because of all the facial expressions I make when sleeping. I barely see any movement, but they insist that it is intriguing. You be the judge.

I had my first story time with Daddy today. Wait, let me clarify. I had my first story time with Daddy out here in the world today. We had a bunch of story times when I was in Mommy’s tummy. I’ve got to say, the sound quality out here in the world is a lotContinue reading “Story Time”

Daddy has been carrying me a lot today. Even when I’m fine being put down, he finds an excuse to carry me. I can’t really complain. I like it a lot! Even though I’m a big baby, Daddy can hold my entire body with one arm! Very impressive! I feel very safe and secure inContinue reading “In Daddy’s arms”

I’m going to warn you that Mommy and Daddy absolutely adore me. So far, all they have done is stare at me. I’m not even doing anything. Seriously, I’m barely even awake. But all they do is stare at me. And the pictures. They are taking tons and tons of pictures of me doing nothing!Continue reading “Baby face”
