Counting The Days

I have a big week ahead of me friends and I can't wait. On Monday my Nannie comes back to Georgia to shower me with kisses. On Tuesday she and Mommy and I are taking our first roadtrip. We're driving all the way to Louisiana. Mommy says it will be really nice if she doesn't lose her mind having to stop every 2 hours.

All kinds of fun people will be waiting for me in Louisiana. I'm going to meet all kinds of family and friends for the first time including my baby friend Charlie. Mommy says I am too little to eat crawfish yet but we're going to have all kinds of other good food.

Daddy is coming to meet us and have all kinds of fun. Mommy says it will all be indoor fun since she says living in Louisiana is like living on the surface of the sun. I will get to see my Teetee and Uncle Troy's house before they make their big move to Nashville. I am not sad at all that they are moving because it will bring them much closer to me!

Sleepy Head

Hello friends! I did something amazing last night. I slept for 7 and a half hours straight!! Mommy and Daddy couldn't believe it. It would have been great for them except we were having a huge thunderstorm and my puppy Kayle is afraid of those storms so she kept them awake most of the night. There's no rest for the weary in our house.

Now I want to take some time to quash a rumor going around about my hair. Some people think that Mommy and Daddy style my fauxhawk and the truth is that my hair is just naturally this cool and airborne. Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. My 'do could mean I'm destined to be in a rock band or to be a male model or it could mean I will just buy a lot of gel in the future to control it.

Twice As Nice

On Friday I reached my two month anniversary! I went to the doctor and had my first round of vaccinations. That was not my favorite thing. I proved to Mommy and Daddy that I had tremendous lung capacity. Thank goodness that I don't have to do that again until July.

I now weigh 11 pounds and 3 ounces (or more). I'm getting longer and my head is getting bigger too. My neck is getting so strong that I can look around more without as many of those forward head thuds. The doctor said that I am a very active, energetic baby. Mommy told her that she and Daddy know that because their muscles ache from bouncing and playing with me all day.

Heat Wave

Well friends we're having a heat wave here in Georgia. The temperatures are reaching 95 degrees by lunch time so Mommy and I only ventured out to go to our nursery rhyme class today. Daddy went with us. Who knew he could sing all those silly songs? The three of us had so much fun.

The rest of the afternoon I just chilled inside with my summer clothes and the cool fan. Mommy says this Georgia is a crazy place. It gets as hot as Louisiana but in the winter it snows.

Number One Fan

So I know it's a little early and all the football teams are still in summer training, but I wanted to let you know who the best team of the year is. It's the New Orleans Saints!! I am their biggest fan and I am finally big enough to fit in one of my many, many Saints outfits. In this picture I'm even doing a little cheer for them.

Even though Mommy wants my career to focus more on my brain than my body, I am secretly training to be a football player. If there are any scouts out there reading this, take a look at this picture to see how much I am beefing up. Friday at my 2 month checkup, I was weighing in at 11 pounds 3 ounces. That just screams linebacker! I even have my intimidating look perfected.

A Class Act

Mommy and I went to our first class at the library yesterday. It was a nursery rhyme singing class. It was so much fun that I smiled the whole time. I was the youngest baby in the class. What can I say maybe I'm just driven like Mommy?

Mommy and Daddy told me that I'm going to get to go to a real school in July. I will be in a class with other babies whose Mommies and Daddies work just like mine. Mommy says there will be nice ladies taking care of me. I intend to tell them day one that they may be taking care of me but they are a poor substitute for my Nannie who will take care of me for 3 weeks when Mommy goes back to work.

My Bag of Tricks

I've been working on all kinds of new tricks to impress Mommy and Daddy. Yesterday I rolled on my side but Mommy thinks it was just a fluke. After my rocking and rolling, I started trying to grab things. Toys are so much more fun now that I know I can grab them with my hands. Here's a shot of me grabbing my toys.

I'm also mastering my smile, ladies beware. I know just the right time to give Mommy a little of my magic smile to make her heart melt. Here's a little sample of my best work. I don't want to show you the full smile because a baby knows not to give away all the charm at once.
