Wow – it’s been a while since I last wrote and boy has time flown. I am including a picture of me at 2 weeks old (in the blue) and 3 weeks old (in the chair) so you can see how I am growing. A week ago Friday, I was already 7 lbs 6 oz so I’m probably closer to 7 lbs 12 oz now – a full pound more than my birth weight. On Tuesday, I will be 4 weeks old! So what has happened in the last 2 weeks?
I got to meet my Aunt Kali, Uncle Tom and their dog, Harley. I think I weigh more than their fluff ball. I still have a ways to go until I weigh as much as my dog, Jess. Aunt Kali loved holding me and she tried to get Uncle Tom to change my diaper. He did once and I have no complaints about his work. I also got to meet Katya Berman who is 11 days older than me. I thought I had a lot of hair on my head – she has me beat! But it was nice being around somebody my own age for a change.
I just moved to my crib last night. Although it’s nice to have a room to myself and not have to share with my parents and dog, it takes moo cow (aka mom) a lot longer to get to me when I’m hungry. And boy do I like to eat. I also like to make my voice heard during the day – a lot. And occasionally in the middle of the night I get cranky and just want mom or dad to hold me for a few hours, like last Sunday night where I was up from 1 am-6 am and then was a sour puss during the day. They don’t seem to enjoy being awake in the wee hours of the night as much as I do.
Dad and I hung out on Thursday so mom could have her first baby-free night out. She went to a movie with her sister while dad, Uncle Tom & I watched the history channel. It was a nice break from watching sports and 80s hair band videos. Mom & dad are getting their first night out together tonight while Grandma & Grandpa Heimbigner watch me.

I’m getting stronger every day. I love to hold my head up and look around. I’m mesmerized by lights and I enjoy staring at mom’s DVD collection. I prefer falling asleep while being held, but once in a while I’m tired enough that I will go to sleep fine in my crib. We have family walks on evenings where the weather is nice and that is fun to see all the neighborhood sites, but sometimes mom drives a little crazy and I get crabby. I enjoy pulling mom’s hair and playing “bouncy” with dad. He makes goofy noises while bouncing me up and down into the air. Mom is a little more boring with her games, but she does let me spend time on my activity mat where I love to look at myself in the mirror. With a face like this, do you blame me?
