4 weeks...already!

Hi! Guess what...4 weeks ago I was still in Mama's belly and resisting my entrance into this world, but Mom & Dad had their way & I was born, 4 weeks ago!

Lots has gone on in the past 4 weeks. I'm gaining weight...I now weigh over 10 lbs! I go to the Doctor next Monday & then he'll weigh me officially and we'll see how much I gained! I have traveled some...to Dyer, IN...where my Nana & Papa live for Thanksgiving & for a celebration this past weekend with my cousins and Aunties & Uncles of the many birthday's in December! (Happy birthday Clayton & Peter, Auntie Dar, Uncle Pete, & Curtis!) I also had my 1st trip to Chicago! Saturday night my mom & dad took me to Grammie & Papa's condo in the Hancock building for the night. Our friends the Cohen's came over for dinner and to visit. They are great! I got to get to know Haley, and Haley's mom & dad. Haley's mom held me for a long time...I liked that. She has a baby in her tummy and he kept kicking me. I don't think he liked me on his mom's lap.

Sunday my mom & dad took me to a restaurant that they used to like which is just across the street from the condo...the Oak Tree. Lots of people checked me out while we were there, but I just played like I was asleep because I wasn't sure I wanted to get to know all those people! Mom & dad kept talking about how the restaurant has changed...they aren't sure that they will be going back there very much. I don't know...it seemed fine to me!

Oh, Friday I got to spend the entire day with my Nana. She read to me, held me, snuggled me, gave me a bath, and napped with me. It was a good day. My mom was kind of pesty though...she was judging at a student competition in Chicago and she kept calling Nana to check on me. Once she even woke Nana up from a nap. That wasn't so nice, mom! Nana is a pro...she can handle me! I liked being with Nana so much that I cried and cried when it was time to leave Nana's on Saturday. Mom & dad said I was being like my cousins. They never want to leave Nana's either!

Oh, I'm also growing out of some of my clothes. Mom has started a pile of clothes that no longer fit me.

Tomorrow is a shopping outing with mom & grammie. Mom said something about needing to do Christmas shopping. I guess she needs grammie's help to keep me happy or something. I don't know...I'm just a baby.
