Happy Easter..oh yeah, I am 2 months old!

I am 8 weeks old today! Yippe for me! Can you see my almost smile? I also visited the doctor and I was 22.5 inches long and weighed 11 lbs. 13 oz. Oh yeah, I also got my shots and they hurt, but mommy and daddy were there to hold me afterwards. My head size is in the 90%ile, my height is in the 75%ile and my weight is in the 80%ile. It just goes to show, milk does a body good! See how big my feet are now? I am getting close to daddy! This is me after my bath on Easter Sunday! I love Easter just like mommy! We visited Grandma and Grandpa Metcalf's for Easter. Here is Grandma giving me a smooch because she missed me sooooo much! Finally, a picture of all of us together! Thanks Uncle Steve! Here I am with Mommy, Grandma and some of my cousins! It was great to see people closer to my age for once! Here I am in my Easter outfit that mommy picked out for me! I love her. I got to see Papa Frankenberg this weeked too! Can you tell he loves me? Nana Frankenberg was so nice to me, she even got me to fall alseep! I love her! I am getting to be a big girl now, I can sit on daddy's lap and hold my head up! Here I am doing my Michael Jackson "Thriller" impersonation! I was praying in my sleep while Daddy held me. My first big smile caught on film. Mommy and Daddy love it when I smile! Mommy dressed me up in my gangsta' outfit for my first visit to the sitters. Mommy is helping me fall alseep. I love my mommy so much, she always knows just how to help me.

Can you believe I am 7 weeks old already?

I certainly can't believe it! This week was tiring. As you can see, daddy and I like to take naps together.

Mommy and I made a trip to mommy's hometown for a future cousin's baby shower. I slept the whole time, both ways, in the car. Mommy was so proud of me! I saw all 4 grandparents there, and also met my two of my cousins. Here is a picture of one of them holding me. I wonder if I will ever get as big as she is!

I also got to meet my great-grandparents. We were all happy to see each other. I can't wait to get a 4 generations picture.

Mommy keeps telling me that this is her last week home with me because she is going back to work. I don't know what that is, but I think it's going to be hard!

Finishing up my 6th week!

I can't believe I am already 6 weeks old! I have really grown a lot this week, and learned a lot too! I smiled more, and daddy got to see lots of them. I also visited daddy at work, and mommy's old work this week. I learned that the Mizzou Tigers are fun to watch! Daddy said I was a good luck charm when he held me after their Thursday night win, and he had to hold me again on Sunday. Too bad I didn't help them during that game. I think I'm ready to shoot some hoops! You can see that I am a lot more alert now, and can look at people when they talk to me. I just wish I knew what mommy was saying to me! I also started to enjoy my swing a little more. I love my rainforest friends. They are in my crib too! Mommy told me that she loved Sesame Street when she was little. I learned this song...'C' is for cookie, it's good enough to eat, cookie, cookie, cookie starts with 'C'. As you can see, my personality is starting to show more. Can't wait to show you what I will do next!

Here is a short video of me on my tummy!

Week # 5...

I got to enjoy some tummy time on Daddy's tummy. We both enjoyed our nap.

Mommy and I got more quality time together in the comfy chair.

Sadie got to sniff my head some and she was very nice to me. Mommy made sure of that.

My favorite friend, Freddy the Firefly and I got to spend some time together while I was practicing lifting my head up.

Mommy and Daddy told me the police were here so I had to put 'em up!

This past week was great. I smiled for the first time at Mommy. I am still holding out on Daddy. I am now 5 weeks old, as you can see by the hand I am holding up in my picture. Aren't I smart? Ok, well I only have 4 fingers up, give me a break, I am only 5 weeks old!

1 Month Old, WOW!

Our pets, Sadie and Tiger finally were brave enough to sit in the same room with me.

I also had a lot of tummy time. I am learning to lift my head up and to find my hands and fingers.

I know that Mommy loves me and I love it when she holds me! I love it better when she feeds me!

Daddy gave me a big kiss, I am glad he brushed his teeth first!

I had a great week! I turned 1 month old today! Mommy and Daddy took my picture in my new outfit from Nonna and Poppa Frankenberg. I am not quite big enough to fill out my newborn pants yet, but I love them anyway! I am looking forward to month number 2!

The Week In Review

This past week has been really incredible. It all started with a picture of mom and me on my due date. I guess I kind of messed that up, didn't I?

Then Grandma came to visit me and everyone was very happy to have her here, especially me. I loved it when she held me at night.

I had more visitors on Saturday. Heather and Sean came to see me and brought someone much closer to my age to see me too. She liked to touch my head.

Today I am three weeks old and put myself to sleep for the very first time. I know that mom and dad are proud of me. It was a very good week.

2 weeks old and going strong

We wanted to post a few more pictures of Baby Boyer. The first one is her two week old picture. This was the date she was originally due on. We are seeing some real growth. We have noticed her getting bigger and weighing more, especially during those late nights! The second picture is one of daddy and her reading a book together. We hope that you all enjoy!
