The Fam Rolls In

I got to meet my Uncle Tom and my Aunt Sarah this week. Aunt Emily and my cousins came to play too. My Nana is here; she holds me lots, gives me a great bath, cooks yummy dinners and helps my mommy get some rest. I love having such a big, fun family and can't wait to meet everyone else!

Still Sleeping and Eating

But when I'm not...

I'm taking a bath

and

Saying "What's Up! I'm one week old today."

My First Doctor's Visit

"I love the Dr's Office (not really but don't tell my Uncle Tom that)"

Good news. I went to my pediatrician for the first time and am in great health. I haven't gained any weight yet but I think that might have something to do with the big poo I took in the waiting room. My doctor really chatted up my parents and they got a free music CD that will help with my brain development. He is an expert in ADD whatever that means.

I am sleeping and eating alot. I am really bonding with Mommy. Life is good.

The Thinker

Maggie's "The Thinker"

Rodin's The Thinker

Coincidence? I don't think so.

Coming Home - Thanks Cousins!

I came home yesterday. It was a great experience. The door to my house had a poster from my cousins - Robbie, Jack, Finn and Luke. I love you guys too! I can't wait to hang out soon.
Also, my two North Carolina aunts (Kristin and Emily) rock. They have been guiding my Mommy with great advice on how to take care of me, stocking our fridge and bringing us lots of goodies. They also got my Daddy reading this book - The Secrets of the Baby Whisperer and he's been having conversations with me ever since. I still cry but at least he's trying. I am so happy to be home. Mommy is taking really good care of me. She hasn't gotten much sleep but she still smiles real big at me.

Day 2 - Finding My Voice

So I really learned how to cry. But I only do it for a couple of reasons, I'm hungry or uncomfortable. And all these residents and students poking and prodding me - "Get out of my face people - I'm only 2 days old!"

I get to go home today - Yay. I hear my nursery is really decked out. I can't wait.

My First Slideshow

I Was Born

Yesterday at 12:45 pm. I am 6 pounds and 13 ounces. The nurses and doctors say I am really healthy. The odd thing is that I look just like my Daddy did when he was born - I hope that changes as I get older.
There have been hundreds of pictures taken of me so far but my parents didn't bring the hook up to the camera so those won't be posted until later.
Duke is OK though I fancy myself a Gator and if I had to choose between Triangle loyalties, I would probably root for the Tarheels. The staff here is really nice though. The nurse took me around last night to meet some of the other babies, mostly boys. I met one they called Big Al - he wasn't very cute.
More to follow: I have the sneezes.

37 Weeks and Ready

This is the last picture of me in my Mommy's belly. Can't wait to see the world!
