9 Weeks and Growing Strong...
June 16-June 22, 2008

Monday, we rested after being at the Convention. Daddy still wasn't feeling well, so he stayed home with me today. I was so happy that Daddy was home on a weekday that I let out a great big smile that Mommy finally caught on camera!


Daddy played with me all morning. He even let Mommy go to town by herself while he played with me. We had a great day!
Daddy and Mommy took lots of photos of my cute feet today too. Daddy wants to commission a drawing of my foot with the artist Athenatt. She is fantastic!

I was in a great mood on Tuesday morning! Mommy caught lots of my smiles with the camera! I love looking a my bear mobile. The bears are so much fun to watch; they always make me smile.

I love to make Mommy laugh with my goofy faces too.


Wednesday the cat wanted to play with me. The kitty-cat loves me, but she doesn't understand that I can't pet her yet! She still always wants to sit with me though. Wednesday night, we had company over for dinner. We had the Hitt's and the Hooven's over. Daddy grilled, and Mommy made a yummy cake! Everyone loved holding me, even though I was a little fussy.

Thursday was my Two Month check up with my pediatrician. He said I weighed 10 lbs and 11 oz! That is in the 50th percentile for babies my age. I am also 22 1/4 inches, which is only in the 25th percentile for babies my age. I hope I grow taller! That wasn't the bad news about the day though; the bad news is that I had to have my first round of immunization shots. It was terrible! When the nurse gave me my first shot, my eyes got as big as saucers. She was super fast though.

I was very grumpy the rest of the day. My Mommy had to keep holding me or I would cry my eyes out. She had to call Daddy to come home early from work because she was sad I felt so bad. Then, on the way home, Daddy's car broke down, and we had to go pick him up!

I felt much better once Daddy was home to comfort me. We spent a lot of time outside, which is my favorite place in the whole world. (Just like my Daddy!)

Friday, Daddy was off of work, and we went out in service. After service , we all spent time together! It was nice to have a day at home with Mom and Dad.
Saturday, we went to the District Convention to pick up the day we missed the week before. Daddy's family always used to take photos at the stage every District Convention, and he wanted to keep up the tradition, so we made our way to the stage. Everyone wanted to stop and look at me though! It took a while to get to the stage.

We also got to sit with my friend Sully and his Mommy and Daddy during the Convention: Katie and Charlie Robinson. Mommy said I was bad during the convention today; she spent most of the time in the nursing mother's room, taking care of me!
After the Convention, we went over to Sully's grandparents house. Mommy took some photos of Uncle Charlie and Aunt Katie with my buddy Sully.

She also took some photos of me with Sully and my other friend Chloe. She is Lauren Prowant's daughter. Mommy grew up around Lauren too, and her baby Chloe is 2 months older than me. Here we all are! She's so cute; Sully and I are going to be fighting over her when we get older.Here we all are with our Mommy's! I hope we can all play together a lot in the coming years.
