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 and […]
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 years
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 water
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 good
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 and
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.
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 is
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 it
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 strange
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 get
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 would say the my first night home went well. I won’t lie to you, there were some tears (most of them mine), but I slept pretty well. I slept about 3 or 4 hours during the night, waking up when I got hungry. I was easy on Mommy and Daddy and did not fuss
I think my first day home went very well. Sure, I cried a bit, and of course there were a lot more diaper changes than Mommy and Daddy had anticipated, but all in all the day went very smoothly and surprisingly quickly. Mommy and Daddy were just staring at me the whole day. Every little
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 lot
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 in
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!
We got home safely and I took to our place very quickly. I did not cry as much as I did in the hospital. I think I knew that the hospital was not home and there is no place like home. Mommy and Daddy showed me around and I think I’m going to like living
I had my first car ride today. I can’t say that I’m a big fan of cars, or more like I can’t say that I’m a big fan of being strapped into a car. I like my freedom and don’t usually enjoy being restricted. I was not really happy and I cried a little bit,
We got discharged from the hospital. Many thanks to all the wonderful doctors, nurses, and midwives that took care of Mommy and me! We cannot express how thankful we are for all you have done to make us a family! Best wishes and I hope everyone stays healthy, happy, and safe!
Yay! Daddy is here to take us home! We finally got the okay to leave. Let’s get this show on the road!
