Hello Everyone...

.

Just a quick update and some more pictures. I'm trying to do a posting every couple of days at least - more if I can. As you know, I came home Saturday evening. I've got a pretty cool house and a really cool room. I'll try and get some pictures of my room, but I don't know if Daddy will let me use his camera yet.

My first weekend at home has been fun! Saturday after we got home, I got to watch the gators play for the SEC Championship. I know I said it in an earlier post, but I say it again. They won! Even better, on Sunday, the were ranked #2 and will get to play Ohio for the National Championship! Go Gators!

I am soooo happy to be home. Mommy and Daddy have me all set up in my bassinet next to their bed. It seems that Mommy and Daddy take turns feeding and changing me, and I especially like when they are both are awake and talking to me and giving me kisses and they both are soooo happy.

It seems like when it's light out, I like to sleep, and then when it gets dark, I am awake more. I still sleep when it's dark, but it takes me longer to get back to sleep. For example, yesterday I slept through a lot of new things for me (more on my first outing in a moment.) I ate at about 6pm (finished by 6:30), again around 9:00pm (again about 1/2 hour) and then at 12:00am. That one I finished eating and got changed by about 12:20, but instead of falling asleep by 12:30, I was awake until almost 1:00am! Then I woke up around 2:00am and was hungry. Daddy stayed up with me until after 3:00am! After he fed and changed me, he tried to put me back to bed, but as soon as he put me down and pulled his arm away, I let him know that I was still awake. After a few times of this, Daddy was afraid that Mommy would wake up, so he took me out to the living room and watched some TV out there. Around 3:15, I finally fell asleep and slept until 5:30 when I woke Mommy to feed and change me!

Yesterday, I got to go to Neil's school, the library and to Wallyworld! Everyone in Neil's chorus were looking at me and smiling and it seemed like I made them happy. Neil had to sing at Disney yesterday, so we had to drop him off. I even got a real pretty outfit from Terri and Beth! Thank you soooo much!

We left the school and then stopped at the library. Apparently, Mommy and Daddy think that I'm gonna let them read. They will find out soon enough that when I sleep, they are going to want to sleep and when I'm awake, they will be paying attention to me! They got a couple of books each and we were all headed to Wallyworld (Walmart.)

Walmart was fun! You're not going to believe what I did! I slept! That's right, I don't even remember being there! Like I said earlier, I sleep quite abit during the day but put me in a car and I am content. Doesn't matter where I'm going, in a car I can sleep.

My Papa came over to visit me today. He fed and burped me and basically helped Mommy keep me awake. Daddy wasn't here because he had to go to work for a few hours. I guess now that I'm home, it is back to reality for him. Daddy got home just in time to see Papa feeding me and to get a picture. Then Papa had to go back to work as well.

Well, I have to go and get ready for my first Doctors appointment. Just a regular check up and a chance for Mommy and Daddy to interview my new doctor. Hopefully, he has warm hands!

'till next time,

Melody
