SO, LAST WEEK GRANDPA AND I TOOK YOU TO BAYLOR FOR YOUR NEWBORN SCREENING ON TUESDAY. I DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAD TO GO ALL THE WAY OUT THERE FOR THEM TO TAKE YOUR BLOOD. I PUT YOU IN THE CUTEST OUTFIT TODAY. THIS WILL DEFINATELY BE A PICTURE OUTFIT.
WE WENT WITH DADDY TO TAKE THE BOAT TO HAVE THE SPEAKERS PUT ON IT. DADDY CAN'T WAIT TIL YOU ARE BIG ENOUGH TO GET ON THAT THING. ALL HE EVER TALKS TO YOU ABOUT IS THE BOAT AND WAKEBOARDING. I THINK HE IS JEALOUS BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE ONLY WINDOW TO SEE THE BOAT FROM YOUR ROOM WHENEVER YOU WANT.
MIMMIE, DAVID, AND PAPA CAME TO SEE YOU ON WEDNESDAY. MIMMIE COOKED, UNFORTUNATELY MOMMY DOESN'T LIKE SPICY STUFF AND YOU MAY NOT EITHER SO WE HAD SOME YUMMY EGG SALAD.
FRIDAY WE WENT TO GET MOMMY'S NAILS DONE. THANK GOD BECAUSE IT HAD BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE SHE HAD SEEN ANDY. YOU DID PRETTY GOOD TIL ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE WE WERE LEAVING. YOU STARTED TO GET FUSSY BECAUSE YOU CHANGED YOUR FEEDING TIME. AFTER WE WERE DONE WE WENT TO HAVE LUNCH WITH GRANDPA AND ASHLEY. SO I THOUGHT I DID GOOD BY FEEDING YOU BEFORE WE LEFT BUT BEFORE I COULD GET HOME YOU WERE SCREAMING AT ME. WE WERE STILL 20 MINUTES FROM HOME AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN STOP TO BREATHE. MOMMY WAS FREAKING OUT. THIS GROWTH SPURT THING AND YOU NEEDING TO EAT EVERY HOUR AND A HALF ISN'T WORKING FOR MOMMY SO WELL.
SATURDAY WE WENT TO DADDY'S GAME. THEY WON. WE TOOK YOU ON YOUR FIRST TRIP TO THE LAKE. IT WAS QUITE WINDY, THANK GOODNESS MOMMY BROUGHT A BIG BLANKET TO KEEP YOU WARM. YOU SLEPT THE WHOLE TIME. I CAN SEE YOU ARE AS IMPRESSED AS I AM. WE WENT AND HAD DINNER WITH GRAMMY, PAUL, AND TROY AT SNUFFER'S AFTERWARDS.
SUNDAY WE WENT TO GRANDMA AND GRANDPA'S HOUSE. JOEY AND BILLY WERE SKIING, LUCKY!!! BUT EVERYONE ELSE PASSED YOU AROUND ALL NIGHT. THIS IS THE LAST TIME DADDY CAN'T GO BECAUSE OF TAX SEASON. GRANDMA, GRANDPA, YOU AND I WENT TO KOHLS AND GOT YOU A FEW NEW OUTFITS. NOT LIKE YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CLOTHES, BUT YOU ARE STARTING TO OUTGROW THE NEWBORN OUTFITS.
WELL YOU ARE 4 WEEKS OLD TODAY. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I KNOW TIME WILL JUST CONTINUE TO GO BY FASTER THAN I WANT. YOU HAVE TAKEN MY HEART AND I AM SO GLAD YOU ARE MY BABY. I KNOW THINGS WON'T ALWAYS BE LIKE THIS, BUT I WILL LOVE YOU UNCONDITIONALLY AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LITTLE BOY.

SO, THIS WEEK WE WENT TO SEE GRANDMA AT WORK ON TUESDAY. SHE WAS HAVING TALAN WITHDRAWLS. SHE WAS SO PROUD TO SHOW YOU OFF TO EVEYRONE IN HER OFFICE. OF COURSE, YOU DIDN'T WANT TO COOPERATE. I HAD FED YOU AND CHANGED YOU RIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT AND BEFORE WE COULD MAKE IT ALL THE WAY AROUND THE OFFICE, MOMMY HAD TO SIT IN GRANDMA'S OFFICE AND FEED YOU. SILLY BOY!!! EVERYONE THOUGHT YOU WERE PRETTY CUTE, I CAN'T SAY THAT I DON'T AGREE. AFTER WE LEFT THERE, WE SURPRISED DADDY WITH AN AFTERNOON TREAT AT WORK, HE LOVES MCDONALD'S ICE CREAM CONES. YOUR UMBILLICAL CORD FELL OFF TODAY. YEAH! IN A COUPLE OF DAYS WE CAN START TAKING REAL BATHS.
WEDNESDAY WE WENT TO THE DOCTOR FOR YOUR 2 WEEK VISIT. MY HOW YOU HAVE EATEN. YOU WEIGH 9 LBS 4 OZ AND ARE 21 INCHES LONG. YOU HAVE TO STOP GROWING. MOMMY IS NOT READY FOR THIS YET. DR. GRACE SAID YOU ARE LOOKING GOOD AND HEALTHY. WE THINK YOU HAVE REFLUX BUT IT'S HARD TO TELL RIGHT NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE BEEN CONGESTED THIS WEEK.
THURSDAY WE WENT TO MOMMY'S WORK. WE WERE THERE FOR ABOUT 1.5 HOURS TO DO A BAR CLASS. YOU DID OK WHILE WE WERE THERE. IT DID END UP BEING RIGHT DURING FEEDING TIME, BUT MOMMY WAS PREPARED WITH A BOTTLE THIS TIME. WE ARE DEFINATELY GETTING BETTER. TODAY WAS ALSO THE 1ST DAY MOMMY HAD TO PUT YOU IN THE SINK AND HOSE OFF YOUR NASTY BOTTOM. I SHOULD'VE TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE NASTINESS THAT WAS, BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT EVERYONE ELSE WOULD HAVE FOUND IT AS EXCITING AS TROY AND ME. AND OF COURSE AS SOON AS I PUT A DIAPER ON YOU, YOU DIRTIED THAT ONE, TOO!!! YOU ALWAYS DO THAT.
