My one week birthday was highlighted by lots of visitors!
In the afternoon my cousin Hailey stopped by with Uncle Marshall and Aunt Mary. Hailey is a lot bigger than me, she has a pink snow suit, I wonder what color my snow suit will be someday. I slept on Uncle Marshall almost the whole time they were here. Uncle Marshall said I'm a pretty 'little bug.' Since Hailey is a bug too, I will accept the title...for a while.
Grandpa Ed and Grandma Karen brought over meatballs with mashed potatoes and corn for dinner for mommy and daddy. They also brought my cousin Grace with them. She really likes me, I was almost smiling at her when she was holding me. I can't wait to play with her when I'm bigger.
Grandma Karen brought over a huge photo album that has pictures of daddy when he was my size. I guess I'm a mirror image. Mommy plans to post some of the pictures soon, so keep checking my photo album on photobucket: click here. Email mommy if you need the password.
After dinner Uncle Mike, Aunt Lisa and cousins Amber and Natalie stopped by! I must be pretty special to have all of these visitors. Amber and Natalie thought I was cute; they kept playing with my hair. I like it though. Uncle Mike was pretending he was Donald Duck. I got some clothes with footballs and cars on them! I will so make mommy put me in them when I'm big enough.
Oh my goodness, I almost forgot to tell you, I got a package in the MAIL yesterday! It was from what mommy calls our 'shirt tail' relatives Mickey, Tracy, Regina and Brian who live in Minnesota. I don't' really know what that means, but that's OK, it sounds like family to me. They got me a really cool looking pair of overalls. I can't wait to wear them when I'm bigger. I don't know where Minnesota is but it seems like a cool place. Maybe mommy and daddy will take me there someday.
In addition to the clothes, our family has got a lot of cards in the mail to say welcome to me. This is very nice, because I've heard mommy talking to a lot of these people before, and recognized some of their names when she read me the cards! Thanks to the following: Randy & Diane, Tony & Chris, Tante Rosemary & Great Uncle Joe, Dorothy, and the nurses and staff at Bromenn Hospital. Mommy also got a gift certificate from Moira in California!
Mom's Note:
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes and congratulations! Myles is such a joy.
We also had a special phone call when Myles was sleeping from our cousins in Germany. They were very excited to hear about Myles and will share more details about him with other Great, Great Aunts and Uncles, and cousins in Germany.
We didn't get his bath in yesterday, there was just too much going on. I hope to tackle that today. Along with some laundry, we've gone through a number of clothes this week, some out of necessity and some because that's another photo opportunity right?
I'm so glad to hear Mommy embracing the need for a larger wardrobe than she anticipated. Soon enough, she may also find out that babies have multiple ways of ensuring many "costume changes" throughout their day -- even if she becomes uber-proficient at the burp cloth/cloth diaper/terry washcloth shield protocol! :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad it arrived, too. Sleep over thank-you's. One night of "awesome" is just that: One night.
