3-19-07 Very Cool!

Hi Everyone!

If you remember from a previous post, I was expecting a "Welcome Baby" card from President Bush. Daddy said that it would happen, but Mommy didn't believe him! Well, it showed up today!


I have to get to bed. See y'all soon.

New Pictures!

Hey everyone!


Just thought I would post a few new pictures! Mommy has stayed home with me the last week so I've gotten use to having her home. Hopefully, Daddy's job will start paying more so she can stay home with me all the time!


Last Sunday, we went to brunch with David (Mommy and Daddy's friend) and his mom. We went to see David's grandmother who is 90+ years old but acts like she in in her 60's! Just full of energy and one of the nicest people I've met.




Also, I can kind of admit I made a mistake. In one of my earlier posts, I said that Daddy wouldn't get a picture of me smiling until I was three. Well, he was pretty quick the other day and was able to get a picture of me smiling, but because he had to rush to take the picture, it is a little out of focus!



Also, I am still trying to hold my own bottle when I eat. I'm up to using a larger bottle because at least once a day, I need to eat a full 8-9 ounces! I remember when I would barely eat 1 ounce just a few months ago.



Here is another picture of me with my Mona Lisa look. Am I really smiling? I'll let you decide!





Finally, I will leave you with a quote from Uncle Paul B.


"The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything."

- Bishop W.C. Magee



See y'all later!



Love ya,

Melody

P.S. I forgot to say it in the actual post, but Go Gators!

Contact Information

Hi everyone!

Before I begin, I want to repost my email address so everyone has it. Send me mail to WelcomeBabyT@gmail.com. (Jamie it was good to hear from you, but Mommy and Daddy need your email address. Send me`an email and I'll give them your address!)

Not much to really update everyone on. I know that my pictures don't show it, but I am smiling and Mommy says that I am even laughing! As soon as I see the camera though, I put on my "game face" and I make sure that I don't smile for the camera! Here is a perfect example. I was sitting in my swing, smiling, laughing, and talking to Daddy. As soon as I saw the camera, boom - game face time!

I'm thinking I can make it to about 18 months old before they get a picture of me smiling!

Talking is coming along pretty well. I've got the Preamble of the Constitution down and I'm working on Article I this week. Seriously, I am a much better thinker then I am a talker, but I sure do like trying. I'm making all sorts of sounds and as soon as I figure out how to turn my thoughts into words, look out!

I'm sleeping through the night more often, but I make sure that if on a particular night Mommy and Daddy are both really tired that I make sure I wake up at 3:00am so I can have a small drink. On average, I'm sleeping through 4 nights a week from about 10:00pm until 5:00am!

I'm not really crawling yet, but I am standing when Mommy or Daddy hold me up. I get my legs to support my weight for a few seconds. I will even sometimes pretend to walk. I'm sure that walking and talking is going to take a little while but I will be doing both within the next 6 months!

I LOVE tummy time and Mommy and Daddy bought me this really cool tummy time mat.


Thursday was my 100-day birthday! I believe that I accomplished more in my first 100 days then the democrats did in their first 100 days but Mommy says that I'm not suppose to "go all political" on my blog, so I won't get into any details.
I don't really like basketball very much, but I will say congrats to the Gators for beating Georgia yesterday! I'd love to believe that they will be the number one seed for the tournament, but I don't know that they will be able to pull it off. Either way, it will be nice to see the Gators win a consecutive NCAA basketball championship. And remember, only about 5 months until the next Gator football game!
Well, that's it for now. I have to go help Mommy and Daddy clean the house. I'll leave you with this quote:
"The best thing about the future is that is only comes one day at a time."

Love y'all,

3-3-07 It's been awhile...

Hi everyone!

Well, it is time once again to appologize for not posting as much as I would like to. I've been sleeping through the night more often, so I don't have the time at night to post. Mommy and Daddy are both working, so I am at Ms. Bonnie's and she doesn't let me use the internet, so I can post during the day. Obviously, there are just not enough hours in the day. What's a 3-month old to do?!?!!?

Yes, that's right, I am now officially a three month old. Mommy, Daddy, Neil and I went to the local steak house for dinner to celebrate my 3-month birthday. Actually, I think we went because neither Mommy or Daddy felt like cooking, but if they want me to believe that it was for my birthday then I'll play along!

The reason I haven't posted any new pictures lately is because the battery charger for Daddy's camera is missing. Actually, I got tired of all of the pictures Daddy was taking, so I hid the charger. He doesn't know that, and I'm not going to post where I hid it, but eventually he will either find it or I'll give it to him...in a couple of weeks.....

We have a new addition to the family. Last night, Ottawa came to us and it looks like he is an official member of the family. Ott is about 6 years old and is a chocolate lab. He's HUGE!! Daddy told me he would buy me a pony, but I though he was joking! As soon as I can hold my head up, Daddy is going to put a saddle on Ottawa and I'll be able to go for a ride!

Let's see what else is new? Not much really. I've grown quite a bit and I weigh close to 15 pounds. Like I said earlier, I'm sleeping through the night more often, about three to four nights a week.

Well, that's it for right now. I'll try to get better at posting more regularly.

Love ya,
Melody
