The fair

We went to the fair today. I think this was our first official family event. Turns out there's not a lot for babies to do. My Dad took some cool pictures of the rides. one day I hope he'll take me on the rides.

My Mom carried me around in the sling and only a few people asked if I was a puppy, so I must be getting bigger.

It was kind of cool but I can't wait for next year. I plan to escape into the donkey display while my Mom's not looking.

Mom time

My mom loves me too.

Dad time

There's just nothing better than this.

My Dad loves me.

Home time

I have a dog! His name is Leuk and he sleeps beside me and loves to get my face all wet with his big tounge. I think we're going to be great buddies. I haven't been able to find a way to tell him this becasue my communication skills are very limited, but maybe he knows anyway.

I also get to be carried around all the time by my Mom or Dad. In the hospital there were nurses that sometimes picked me up, but it was nothing like this. I have a feeling I'm going to like this place.

First photoshoot

I was asleep when all this took place.

Well except for a moment...

Peace

This is my Mom's favorite picture of me. She says this is when I started to really feel like I was hers. I got that damn tube out of my nose and now they can't pour milk directly into my stomach until I puke. My Mom's going to take care of me now and she told me that she's not going to let that happen anymore.

I am still very sleepy but last night I was awake and the nurses carried my around and I did paper work with them. I think they are being extra nice because they know I will be leaving them soon for my real home and family.

First bath

Ahhh... finally! Finally I get a BATH. I have been hearing about baths for sooo long now. And even watching my roommates get them. They look like so much fun. Everyone gets really excited for bath day and today it is my turn!

My nurse Alecia is going to show my mom how to bath me. I am very excited. I hope I don't scream but I'm not sure what to expect.

 Yikes, they took off all my clothes and my diaper. I'm picked up and carried through the cold air and then slpoosh, in I go. Not sure if the look in my eyes was obvious, but I'm shocked! I didn't know it would feel like this. Kind of like when I was in my Mom's belly, except colder. I like the Mom's belly resemblance but I can't quite shake the chilly feeling. I'm plunged in deeper and warmth spreads across my body. Oooh it's fun. I kick my legs and my Mom says I look like a frog. I kick harder to show her that I understand what she's saying. Alecia wraps me up in a warm blanket to wash my hair and it feels amazing. Then I'm all done and they wrapped me up in a bunch of warm blankets. I could get used to this. I've decided I like baths. And I didn't even scream.

Warm and cozy after the bath.
