Wow, it's been over a week since I've been here. There just isn't enough hours in a day. Especially when I spend all day with Brie and Dawn and then all evenings with Mommy and Daddy. I've been going to bed earlier around 9 pm so sleep is eating up my nights.
Last week I got a lot of cool new things. Mommy said she showed you pictures already. So, you've seen me in my Bumbo. I like it, but I spit up in it...a lot. I got some dark thingy's that go over my eyes. Mommy says that they look cool. They make it so I don't have to blink as much when I'm outside. I like that.
I also got a coool new light up toy. It plays music and has big things that light up. I think it's fun to watch them in the dark. Mommy said it's like being at a disco or something. I don't know what a disco is but it sounds fun.
Wednesday night we went to Grandma Katy's for dinner. Mommy, Grandpa and Grandma ate fresh asparagus from Grandpa's garden. They said it was real yummy. Daddy skipped out on it, but ate baked beans that Mommy doesn't eat. It was fun to see Grandma and Grandpa.
We went to dinner with Erin at Logan's Roadhouse. We were celebrating because Erin bought a house! She'll be four blocks away from us. Mommy is really excited! So am I, we can take stroller rides to visit!
Saturday we went to cruise night. Daddy has a 1969 Chevelle. Mommy and I were pretending that I was driving. (see photos) It was fun until I wiggled just right and hit my head on the big wheel thing. Oh did that make me mad. I still had fun at cruise night with Mommy, Daddy, Erin and Mikey. Greg was there too with a friend. We saw Grandma Karen & Grandpa Ed too. Afterward we went to eat at Tobin's.
We saw Grandma Karen, Grandpa Ed, Uncle Phil, Aunt JohAnna, Braxton and Grace on Sunday at Grandma's. I wasn't feeling good. Mommy took my temperature and said I had a fever. I didn't feel great, but I wasn't crying either. It was 101.4 at 7:40 when we were at Grandma's. When Mommy took it again at home at 9:50 it was 100.7. She called Dr. Kaye's office and got the Dr. who is on call. He said to give me some Tylenol and keep watching me and to visit them in the morning. Mommy took my temperature at 2 am (97.6) and at 7 am (98.3). I was feeling better but still not 100%. We went and saw a different Dr. He was nice. I weighed 12 lb 7 oz. Mommy stayed home with me and then Daddy came home after lunch. Mommy was tired so she took a nap. I ate a lot and started feeling real good about at about two in the afternoon.
Tonight I was not happy. Daddy thinks I was colicy. I didn't eat much before falling asleep. We'll see how long it lasts...

Happy Easter!
Mommy couldn't believe how fast the rest of the week went! I'm starting to get used to going to see Dawn and Brie every day. I've had a snotty nose for the past week, and Mommy took me to see Dr. Kaye just to be on the safe side. I weighed 11 lb 13 oz and was 23 inches long.
I got to hang out with Mommy at work for a little bit and saw Linda and Robin. It was warm out on Thursday. Mommy took the cover off the car seat! Now I can move around a lot better and can see what's going on! It was so warm that I went without pants or socks! Mommy put a mirror on the seat so now I can see myself in the mirror. No wonder everyone says I'm cute...it's true.
Friday was my three month birthday. I spent the whole day with Grandma Katy because Dawn and Brie celebrated Easter early. I had lots of fun with Grandma. Grandpa Carl was planting his garden.
Yesterday we went to Aunt Mary's for Easter. Everybody was there! Hailey was in her Easter dress. Thomas got a big robot kite. I got a bunny and a swimming pool. Mommy and I took a nap while we were there. We were both tired. Molly took a picture of me with Mommy and Daddy...see the photos to look at it!
Today we went to church and I went #2 in the outfit Mommy had me in. Mass wasn't even half over yet! Mommy isn't quite sure how it came out in front, as it was all over my tummy. She put me in my camo onsie because that's all we had. I didn't mind, I was in a fleece overalls and it was getting warm in there.
After church we went to Grandma Karen's for Grandpa Ed's famous waffles. They looked yummy! I played with Grandma most of the time. Aunt JohAnna wasn't there because she went with Jill to see the Blackhawks. I got more clothes and toys, one that lights up even! I even got a swim suit to go with my pool!
Daddy is going to get me ready for day care tomorrow morning. Mommy as to be at work at 7 am for a meeting. Later that night we'll get to see Lauren at the La Leche meeting.

Extended Family
Since we last spoke, I've been a traveling man. On Friday I went over to visit Dawn and Brie while Mommy and Daddy sneaked off to Bolingbrook to have some "alone time." During the day I hung out with Shay and Max. They are a bit older than me. It's hard for me to tell who is who, they look so much a like!
On Saturday we went on a road trip. It was farthest I've been away from home. We went to Macomb to visit Creenie & Pop Pop. Mommy says she has the best Godparents in the whole world. I think she does too, because I liked them a lot. They thought I was cute...so I smiled at them. Mommy is on a quest to find out how we are all related. I got to meet John & Colleen too. I came home with more clothes, Mommy can't wait to put them on me!
On Sunday afternoon I got to see Dionne! I haven't seen her in almost two months! She came over to help give Mommy some tips on saving her milk for me while she's at work.
Later that night we went to Grandma Karen's for her birthday dinner. She chose to have pork roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. I guess when it's your birthday you get to choose what is for dinner. I know what I would choose, Mommy's Milk!
Sunday night I was so tired from Aunt Jo, Grandma and Jill holding me that I fell asleep before Mommy could give me a bath! Since I knew Mommy was having a big day the next day (today was her first day back at work), I wanted to be close to her, so I fussed a little so I could sleep in bed with her and Daddy.
Amazingly, I only woke up once in the night with Mommy and Daddy close by. I got up with Mommy at 5:30 and ate. Mommy got a shower in, breakfast, and still had time to give me a quick bath before we went to Dawn's. Amazing.
Mommy had a busy day at work and had over 500 emails to sort. She said she didn't get very far because she had a meeting to go to, and lots to catch up on from being gone for over three months. I got new clothes from Sandy and a gift card from one of Mommy's 4-H clubs. Mommy said they took a collection so that I could get a new toy! Thanks Towanda 4-Hers! :)
I'm glad that Mommy is back to work, if we can't be together all day, I'm glad she has something important to do like Daddy. I've been missing him during the days for a long time now. He always comes back though. We look at car parts on the internet together and he knows just how to rock me to put me to slee.
Check out some new photos and a new video of me playing with my laptop! ;)

Happy Thursday!
Well my first four days at day care have been great. I really like Dawn and Brie. Brie likes to cuddle with me when I take my afternoon nap. Oh, and they have this light up gym that plays classical music, if the music stops I get mad! I ran the batteries out yesterday!
On Monday I was testing Brie's ability to change me quickly, and peed on her twice. I also peed on my clothes so I got a new set. Yesterday was the first day I made it the entire day in the same outfit.
Dawn says that I am a good at burping. I already knew that, Mommy taught me how. I've been drinking two 4 oz bottles of Mommy's milk and having one 4 oz bottle of formula while I'm there. That way Mommy can have a little extra milk to save up for weekends.
So far Mommy has spent the week trying to time out how early she'll need to get up to be ready for work. Yesterday she got a shower in and was 90% ready for work when we needed to leave. She is estimating that she'll need to get up around 5:30 and is going to try that tomorrow to see how it goes. Mommy wants me to go to bed earlier, but I like to stay up late. I'm still waking up to eat around 2 am, last night I woke up at midnight and 2. This morning Mommy was very tired and took a day off from practicing.
Last night we went to Alexander's for Lily's dad's birthday! I got to see both Grandma's and Grandpa Carl, Marky Mark, Greg and Lily's Grandma and Megan too! Maddy was also there with her parents. Lot's of people held me! See photos...
Today is Grandma Karen's birthday...Happy Birthday Grandma!

Big Week
Mommy posted photos from St. Patrick's day at the K of C hall. It was a nice day, I wore a t-shirt.
Thursday and Friday were warm days too. Mommy went to lunch with Robin at CJ's and we sat outside. Mommy got a sunburn on her face and arms. I was snoozing and covered because it was a little windy. Lily, Megan, Angela, Mommy and I went for walks after Angela got off work. It was nice to breathe fresh air. The sunshine was nice too.
Daddy wasn't feeling well on Friday and stayed home from work. We all stayed home on Saturday instead of visiting Mommy's Godparents in Macomb. Mommy said we're going to try to visit them this weekend instead. Daddy is feeling better now which is a good thing.
Sunday we went to visit Barbara at her house. Daddy needed to fix their computer. We were there for a long time. Mommy fed me three times while we were there!!
Mommy spent lots of time last night getting ready for me to go to day care today. I got a bath too! Mommy got more clothes for me at Target on Saturday so that I have some everyday clothes. I wore one of my new long sleeve onsies to day care today. (see photos) I know I'll have fun with Dawn and Brie.
Mommy and Daddy both went to take me to Dawn's house today. I was pretending to be asleep, but as far as I could tell they did ok. I'm almost three months old now, I can be away from them for 7 hours without a problem. I will definitely miss them, but I have good people to take care of me.

Ode to St. Patrick
Wow, has it been a crazy week. Last Saturday was Grandma Katy's St. Patrick's Day party. Mommy dressed me in green. The first shirt I wore said "My Mommy thinks I'm Charming." Right after the party started I spit up on that shirt though. So most of my pictures are in the "Kiss me I'm Irish" shirt.
There were a lot of people there. Lot's of people got to see me for the first time! I got to meet Daddy's friends Mark and Greg and Mommy's cousins, Mike, Tina, Luci and Ian. I also met Tina's mom and friends of Grandma Katy. I got passed around a lot as you can tell from the photos that Mommy uploaded.
There was a lot of food too. Mommy headed over to Grandma's early to help get the food ready. She carved over a dozen corned beef! Grandma made Irish Stew that had lamb in it. There were potatoes and cabbage too. Mommy made her famous potato soup. She told me that I could share the recipe because she makes her soup different than a lot of people. Here goes:
1/2 of a 5 lb bag of Idaho Potatoes
1/2 of a 5 lb bag of Red Potatoes (bigger ones)
1 lb of Sage Sausage
2 lb baby carrots
1/2 stick of butter
Milk (amount varies)
Spices to taste:
Garlic Powder/Pepper
Onion Powder
Season Salt
Pepper
Parsley for looks
Prep work:
Peel & cut Idaho potatoes and boil. Then make regular mashed potatoes out of them by adding the butter and milk. While the Idaho Potatoes are cooking clean Red potatoes and cut to bite size and boil. Be careful not to over cook them you want them to keep their shape in the soup. Boil carrots, then cut into bite size pieces.
Fry sausage like you would hamburger, don't drain the grease there isn't enough just add to soup for extra flavor.
In a big pot with mashed potatoes inside, add milk to create a nice broth. At least 3-4 cups, but it depends on how thick you want your soup. Then add the cooked sausage, carrots and season well. Cook on low for a while to make sure everything is hot. If you cook it too high you'll scald the bottom of your pot.
If the seasoning is right go ahead and serve it up. It makes A LOT it will fill a good size crock pot. This is the 1/2 recipe estimate. She usually use 5 lb of potatoes for Grandma's party.
_________________________________________________
I got my first St. Patrick's Day card form Micki, Tracy, Brian and Regina! Mommy liked it because it had a sheep on it. I also got a package with a sleeper from Tom & Corrine yesterday! It has frogs on it I can't wait to wear it when I'm big enough.
Yesterday we went to East Peoria to see Dorothy. She watched me while Mommy went and played with Grandma at the casino. Grandma had a good day and Mommy had fun too. Dorothy is a nice lady, she has a big window in her living room that I liked to look out. I can't wait to go visit her again.
We're off to the K of C hall tonight to celebrate St. Patrick's Day! I hope you are wearing green today!

I will taunt you a second time...
I'm back. Last week Mommy filled in for me. As you know I seem to do things way way a head of time. Even though I haven't turned over in a month, I still did it. Right now Mommy keeps putting me on my tummy and I've figured out if I start to cry she'll pick me up. It still makes me mad though.
I've been playing tricks with Mommy in the past week. So far, Mommy has learned to make sure I have pants on in addition to my onsie over my diaper. I've also tossed my cookies (if I ate cookies) on her. She had to change her clothes three times in one day!
This past weekend we went to my cousin Hailey's for her birthday party. There was a ton of people there. She has lots of people who love her. I think I do to. I can't wait for my first birthday party.
We went back to Dr. Kaye's office yesterday for my weight check. I was 9 lb 15 oz. That means I grew 7 oz in one week which is good. When we got done there Mommy and I went for a walk at State Farm park. I took a nap. It was nice and warm. Mommy kept the flap open in my seat when it wasn't windy and the sun was shining. In the afternoon we sat outside the house for a while, so Mommy took my picture with the sunshine on my face.
I'm getting more used to drinking from bottles. It sure comes out easier. The bad part is that I want more and so I get a little mad when they take it away. Mommy took a photo of me holding my bottle on Monday.
Stay tuned for photos of me in St. Patrick's Day green!!

Mom's Update
Myles is taking a week off. Too much celebrating from Hailey's first Birthday yesterday. Hailey got lots of cute outfits and toys. Her daddy and Grandpa Watson made her a toybox. It is beautiful...right now she likes to be inside of it with some of her toys. Myles had a great time, he played with Klohe and Grandma and Aunt Carol a lot.
This week has been interesting to say the least. Myles had his two month check up on Wednesday. He got his first round of immunizations, and man did he scream with the first one, but was distracted quickly by me feeding him. I survived too.
Here are his stats from the office:
Height: 21.75 in - 10%
Weight: 9 lb 8 oz - 10%
Head: 16 in - 70%
Because his weight only increased 6 oz from last time he was in which was on February 12, we have started supplementing with expressed milk and formula. I went and saw the lactation consultant on Friday and he weighed 9 lb 12 oz. This would imply that he gained roughly 3 oz in 2 days. I know, that's a lot...but then you think of how there are fluctuation in scales and it depends on if he is full or hungry and the last time he went to the bathroom. He did have a new diaper on...not sure how much a diaper weighs. We'll see how much he weighs next Wednesday when I take him back for a check up. I did get some reassurance from the lactation consultant that he is doing good for his height/length.
He seems to like the formula ok, it sure makes him sleepy though. He's averaged about 2 oz of formula extra a day, with 1-2 oz extra of breast milk. We've been giving him an ounce of extra at most daytime feedings. The bad part is that he doesn't like it when you take the bottle away after it's empty. Oh, how he cries and in goes the pacifier to compensate. He'll calm down after he burps and sometimes it takes about five minutes for that to happen. Then he is jolly as always and smiles and coos. Lately he's been sticking out his tongue and if you do it back he'll smile...and that makes it all worth it.
He is sleeping much better with the exception of the night he got his shots. He's slept for 6 hours in a row 3 of the last 5 nights.

Happy B-Day to Hailey!
Mommy said that Hailey's having her first birthday! That sounds like fun, I can't wait to have a birthday. We get to party for her birthday on Saturday.
Tuesday is my two month milestone. Mommy took pictures for it today be sure to check the photobucket link.
This past week has been a blur. Mommy set a goal to leave our house with me every day this week and we did it! On Wednesday, we visited Mommy's friends at work! I got held by Linda, Emily, Anita, and Sharon. Mommy had a good chat with her boss Don about what will happen when she starts working again during the day. Mommy is glad that she doesn't have to worry about 10 hour days right away. It will take time for both of us to adjust to her schedule. I got a gift from Kathy's family...I like my blue ape, book of shapes and five minute storybook! Mommy read me a story tonight before bed.
On Thursday, we met up with Erin and did some shopping at TJ Maxx and of course Target. Mommy didn't get anything at either place, amazing huh? After that, we went to dinner at Monical's Pizza. Mommy really likes it, but I'm not a fan. I like home cooked food. That stuff is too greasy. I did get to hear all about Erin's new job that she starts on Monday. Maybe now she can come to visit Mommy more...she won't be working at night anymore!
Friday night was more shopping, but it was Daddy and Mommy who were buying. They bought new lights for the bathroom, hallway and dining room. The wood for the crown and base molding are done being stained. That means we're one step closer to having it installed! Unfortunately, they bought all the lights at Home Depot, and it's a long drive from there to our house...especially when I'm hungry.
Daddy's been fighting a cold all week and it finally caught up with him. He stayed home while Mommy and I went to visit the Bruno's. I heard someone speaking to me in German. I kinda liked it. Mommy said she's going to try to find some toys that will teach me German.
Mommy took my two month photos today. I have to say that she got some good ones of me. We then went to dinner at Grandma Karen's without Daddy because he was still sick. Grandma kept me company while Mommy ate and then Aunt JohAnna got to feed me a bottle. I made it home without crying and fell asleep. That's what car rides do to me...unless I'm starving.
Mommy posted a photo of me showing how I'm growing.

I think I look much cuter now than before. I can smile now, and talk and even wiggle. I go back to see Dr. Kaye on Tuesday, I wonder how much I'll weigh.
Happy first birthday to Hailey!
Tuesday is my two month milestone. Mommy took pictures for it today be sure to check the photobucket link.
This past week has been a blur. Mommy set a goal to leave our house with me every day this week and we did it! On Wednesday, we visited Mommy's friends at work! I got held by Linda, Emily, Anita, and Sharon. Mommy had a good chat with her boss Don about what will happen when she starts working again during the day. Mommy is glad that she doesn't have to worry about 10 hour days right away. It will take time for both of us to adjust to her schedule. I got a gift from Kathy's family...I like my blue ape, book of shapes and five minute storybook! Mommy read me a story tonight before bed.
On Thursday, we met up with Erin and did some shopping at TJ Maxx and of course Target. Mommy didn't get anything at either place, amazing huh? After that, we went to dinner at Monical's Pizza. Mommy really likes it, but I'm not a fan. I like home cooked food. That stuff is too greasy. I did get to hear all about Erin's new job that she starts on Monday. Maybe now she can come to visit Mommy more...she won't be working at night anymore!
Friday night was more shopping, but it was Daddy and Mommy who were buying. They bought new lights for the bathroom, hallway and dining room. The wood for the crown and base molding are done being stained. That means we're one step closer to having it installed! Unfortunately, they bought all the lights at Home Depot, and it's a long drive from there to our house...especially when I'm hungry.

Fun 4 Days
I've done a lot in the last four days!
On Saturday, Mommy gave me a bath because Grandma Karen and Grandpa Ed came over for dinner. Grandma fed me a bottle and I ate it all! She likes to rock me. She did put me down for a little bit so I could look at her good and I smiled at her! I like to smile at people, they smile back!
Sunday, Aunt Mary and Hailey came over to visit. Hailey really likes me, we held hands for a little bit. Hailey likes to play with some of my toys. I like to share right now, basically because I can't stop her. She really liked my nursery rhyme book that Mommy got last week. Mommy was having trouble referring to herself as Aunt Theresa when she was feeding and holding Hailey. Next Monday is Hailey's first birthday!
Yesterday Mommy and I went to Target again. She was making an exchange but since I was a good sleeper, she did some shopping and got me a cool play mat! She showed me how to bat the sea lion to have it rattle and then I did it on my own! I don't like to play on it very long because I want someone to hold me, but I think I'll like it more as I get bigger. I can't quite reach the ball to kick with my feet yet.
Today I stayed with Grandma Katy while Mommy got a pedicure with Aunt JohAnna. She is at a new shop called Secrets. Grandma and I got a long great, I slept off and on most of the time until I got hungry. Grandma gave me a bottle and I ate almost all of it. I did spit up some of it but I smiled at Grandma when she changed my diaper.
Daddy fed me another bottle when we got home from Grandma's and I ate most of it. Seems like I eat just over 3 oz when I'm hungry. I seem to have crazy sleeping habits. Last night I slept from 9:45-2:45 am! Then Mommy fed me and I was wide awake until 6 am and after Mommy fed me again. However, I do sleep good from 7-10:30ish. My sleep schedule isn't really that abnormal in my opinion, it just makes Mommy crazy I think.
I also don't like sleeping in my crib right now. Mommy can't figure out if it's the crib, or laying flat, or what. She put a pillow under the mattress and that didn't help the two times she's put me in there. I tend to spit up when I'm sleeping in my crib that's how I protest sleeping in it! :)

Special Message from Me!
It seems that my blog is read so often by people who love me, that there is a status of celebrity to 'being mentioned in the blog.' I try to mention everyone that visits, but I left out a couple of important ones from the weekend...
On Saturday, Aunt Chris came and visited me while Mommy took a shower. Daddy went shopping so it was just me and Aunt Chris for a while. On Sunday, Erin came over and we hung out on the couch while Daddy took a nap. I'm missing Erin now because Mommy said she went to visit Lucy her 2 year old niece in California. Mommy said that next time Erin comes we're going to "do something." I wonder what that will be.
Wednesday and were sleep days for Mommy and me. We slept in until 10:30!
Yesterday was exciting though...Molly came to visit me again! She took some pictures of Mommy and me. I got some shots with her too though! After that we went to the mall! Molly was pushing me around in my stroller while Mommy shopped for some new clothes. We were doing laps in the isles. I slept the entire time! Then we decided to visit Grandma Katy real quick.
Grandma changed my diaper once I woke up. She forgot that I'm smaller than Hailey though. She put one of Hailey's diapers on me! I was swimming in that thing! Luckily I only went #1 in the diaper...I might have needed a clothes change.
I'm starting to smile at things and people now. I smiled at Molly and Grandma...besides smiling at Mommy and Daddy. Mommy says that I'm going to have to trade in a few of my 0-3 month clothes for 3-6 month clothes. My blue pooh suit that Aunt Mary got me is just a smidge too tight. Mommy and Daddy bought three new sleep n play's that are bigger too. The 0-3 month ones barely zip over my leg!
Mommy and I just had a scale session, and I weighed 10.4 lbs. Mommy's not quite sure she trusts her scale though, but it is an improvement from last week at the Dr.!
I also am starting to hold my head up a lot more. I like to look around. I'm a bit wobbly but I'm getting stronger every day!
Mommy and I are listening to a lot of Irish music, Mommy is getting me ready for St. Patrick's Day. I guess that's a big holiday for us. I've got like 3-4 green outfits already!
Hope you're having a good Friday...I am because Daddy will be home for two days in a row! YEY! Oh, speaking of Daddy, he was telling us at dinner last night with Molly about his new job. He started on the 8th but he is just now getting his desk moved. He was telling us that he now works in the SG1 building. I guess everyone calls it The Stargate. Mommy and Molly thought that was funny. If you don't watch the si-fi channel you might not understand that. There is a tv show called Stargate SG1. Isnt' that funny?

Half Way Mark
Well, Mommy says we're half way. Half way until she goes back to work. I'm not looking forward to that. I like being with Mommy all day. We usually take naps together. We did that today.
Let me tell you about the weekend first though...
On Friday afternoon, Mommy celebrated my weight check and her six week Dr. visit by eating at Fiesta Ranchero. Mommy doesn't eat things too spicy but she did eat a lot of salsa. For some reason I didn't like it...any of it. I didn't sleep very well that night. Daddy stayed up with me from 1 am - 3 am. Around three am, Mommy fed me and I ate good. But then she laid me down in my crib and I spit up my food for the next hour in several increments. Mommy had to change the sheets on the crib because there was so much spit up. Then she had to change me because I had a blow out. This was after she changed me because of my spit up! Well, by then it was about 4:30 and I was hungry again. So Mommy fed me, and then I slept in the bouncy seat near their bed. I was up again at 6:30 though. Luckily after Mommy fed me Daddy was with me so Mommy could get some rest. I think that Mommy won't be going back to Fiesta for a while.
It took Mommy a while but she finally got her Christmas trees down and packed away on Saturday. I thought they were out year round. I especially like the silver tree she has. I can't wait to see it next fall.
Mommy's friends Julie and Ryan came over for dinner. They ate pizza and salad. Julie and Ryan brought some chocolate cake. I was a good boy while they were over. I even stayed up late with them while they were playing the Wii.
On Sunday we finally got to go to Grandma Karen's for dinner. Aunt JohAnna picked me up before Grandma Karen could get to me. I got to be rocked by Grandma later on though. Her and Grandpa Ed are going to come to dinner this week to see me.
Yesterday we had an appointment to visit Dawn. Mommy said that her and Brie are going to watch me during the day when she goes back to work. We went to visit them so Mommy could fill out paperwork. Dawn watches other kids in her house too. It was nap time when we got there, but I was hungry. Dawn did a good job of talking to me while Mommy filled out the papers before she fed me. I think I will like it there, even though it will be different than being with Mommy. I'll start going to see Dawn on March 22nd.
Later in the afternoon we had a close call! Mommy had a massage scheduled for 5:30 pm. Daddy was supposed to watch me. Mommy and I took a nap together at four, but she didn't wake up until 5:15! Daddy wasn't home yet either...so Mommy had to call and see what was going on. It all worked out though, luckily Janet, the massage lady, is flexible. After Mommy pumped, Daddy got home around 5:30 and then Mommy left and got to Janet's around 5:45. Mommy said she had a good massage and can't wait to go back!

Office Visits
I went with Mommy to her OB appointment. I got to see Laura and the other nurses at Dr. Nona's office. I of course was hungry while we were there, so Mommy fed me 3 times.
In the afternoon I went back to Dr. Kaye's office to get weighed. I don't have to go back until my two month birthday!
Happy Valentine's Day...you'll get a photo card by email from me this weekend!!
Mom's Note:
Myles weighed 9 lb 2 oz! Last Friday he was 8 lb 11 oz. So he gained 7 oz! YEY!!
They measured how long he is and he was 21.75 inches. Last time they measured on Jan 20 he was 20.5 in. So he grew 1 inch and a quarter in 3 weeks!
It's nice to have the stress of him not gaining weight gone. Now we can focus on preparing to go back to work and pumping and storing extra milk.
Maybe I'll get my Christmas trees down this weekend...finally!!

Out on Bail...
Mommy and I have left the house two days in a row now!! Can you believe it?
OK so yesterday, I got to meet Klohe and Kasie. I really like Klohe! We got to play on the floor. We were both kicking our legs and waving our arms. Mommy thought I was flirting with Klohe because I sorta reached for her hand. Then all the sudden we figured out we spoke the same language...and Mommy and Kasie didn't realize we were just talking. But, then I got hungry again so Mommy needed to feed me so Kasie and Klohe had to go.
After I ate Mommy and I went to get her hair done. I got to meet Honalee and Christin. Christin does Mommy's hair. Honalee said that I'm real cute. She even made me a Valentine! As soon as we got to Christin's I was hungry again. Mommy brought her pillow to feed me while Christin was doing things to Mommy's hair. Honalee was watching TV up stairs but came down to check on me...and she couldn't find me. She asked her Mommy "where did the baby go?" Her Mommy said "he went for a quick walk, he'll be right back." (jokingly) She looked around and then said, "well who'd he go with?" Mommy and Christin laughed and then told her that I was eating under Mommy's cape. After I was done eating, I slept for the rest of Mommy's hair appointment. Then we came home and I got to see Daddy!
Today Mommy gave me a bath again. I'm starting to get used to the warm water in the yellow tub I've got. I think Mommy needs to do the bath quicker because I eventually start to get cold and cry. I only cried a little though because Mommy is real good at warming me up.
This afternoon we met up with Grandma Katy and went to the Mall. Mommy bought another pair of jeans and she got me some clothes too. Mommy and Grandma think they are real cute. After that we went to eat at Fiesta. Mommy is a little concerned because it's the spiciest food she's had since she had chili the week I came home. I'll keep you posted on if it affects me.
I also was hungry while we were at the restaurant. Mommy fed me enough to get by till we went home. Before we left she changed my diaper in the bathroom. It was the first time I laid in one of those plastic things. Mommy used a wipe and cleaned the entire surface before laying the pad that she changes me on down. I thought that was a little excessive, but then again we were in a bathroom.
Tomorrow we get to go out again! Mommy has her six week appointment, so I get to see Laura & Dr. Nona! Then at some point during the day we'll go to Dr. Kaye's office for me to get weighed. Cross your fingers that I'm heavier.
Be sure to look at the pictures and video of me and Klohe playing!

A Super Weekend
It's been a week almost since I've talked to everyone. I've been busy though. On Friday I went to see Dr. Kaye because Mommy has had some concerns about my weight. I go back this coming Friday to see if I'm heavier.
On Saturday, I got to meet my Cousin Thomas and Uncle Tim and Aunt Carol! They came and shoveled our driveway. Thomas says that he prays for me at school. He doesn't want me to get sick. I don't know what that is...I hope it doesn't happen to me anytime soon.
On Sunday, Mommy went to the store all by herself! Daddy had a bottle of milk from Mommy just in case I got hungry but I slept the whole time! I like to eat out of the bottle, but it goes down so quickly.
Grandpa Carl & Grandma Katy came over along with Aunt Carol, Uncle Tim and Thomas to watch the game. I got to play with Aunt Carol and Thomas for a long time. Aunt Carol even changed my diaper two times!
Yesterday night Mommy made a video of me rolling on my back. I do get frustrated though because as soon as I get on my back Mommy will put me back on my tummy. I don't want to be on my tummy! She did it to me on Sunday three times before I got so frustrated I cried. Mommy tells me this is good for me and will make me strong.
It snowed again last night. Mommy kept telling me about it. Tomorrow we'll get to go out in it because Mommy is getting her hair done. She is very excited about that. We're also going to have a visit from Klohe and Kasie. Mommy says that Klohe is the same age as Lily. They are both two months older than me. Stay tuned for pictures.
I'm getting better at going #1 when Mommy is changing me. :) I went three times this morning on the three different towels that Mommy used to shield her. She is getting smarter because she won't change me without a towel or something to cover me! But this time I got her because I went #2 after I went #1. Lucky for Mommy she always has a pad on the changing table. We seem to do a lot of laundry for me...
PS - Mommy posted more photos and there are even some of the two of us!

One month down...
Well, I am one month and one day old. It's been a wild ride so far. I started off with a grand entrance and am slowly acclimating myself to my surroundings.
Mommy said to check the photos on photobucket for some cute pictures of me. However she is falling asleep on the job because I don't have hardly any photos with her. Maybe cousin Molly will come visit so I can have some photos with Mommy. Because I am a slow eater and I like to eat A LOT Mommy doesn't have a lot of time to figure out how to take pictures with me. She got herself a stick that will allow her to do that, but she is too busy feeding me. Maybe she'll figure it out soon.
On Sunday I got to eat dinner at Grandma Katy's house. Mommy watched a movie with Grandma, Aunt Mary, Hailey and Daddy. I think that Hailey and I will get along great once I get big enough to play with her. Right now it seems like she wants to see if I'm real.
Last night Daddy had a computer fix at Grandma Karen's friend Leta's house. She really likes me. I only tooted and burped on her once. She said that was OK though.
Today we were visited by Mommy's friend Dorothy. Mommy said that they used to work together. Dorothy changed my diaper two times and I got to sleep with her on the couch. I woke up as soon as she left though and filled my pants. Mommy was really happy about it too, because she had me all strapped up in my car seat to go shopping. Well, that led to me being hungry, so we ended up not leaving home for another hour or so.
Mommy bought me another monitor, because the first one she bought didn't work well. We hope this one works better. Mommy had to go to two different stores to buy a machine that will allow me to eat with someone other than her. Mommy keeps talking about this, but I'm not sure I'm going to like it. I also got a toy dog that makes noise when you squeeze it's tummy. However, I still like my giraffe better that I got from Aunt Mary. I was watching him today with Dorothy.
Well, I'm going to sign off because I'm about ready to fall asleep, and it will be the first time before midnight in a long time. I tend to sleep from midnight-3 am, then 4-6ish and 7-9ish.
Things I keep hearing people say about me:
"He is so precious!"
"He is handsome!"
"He looks just like Tony!"
"He has Theresa's mouth!"
PS - I know how much Mommy loves snow, but when Mommy said there would be six more weeks of winter I was a little sad. I want to go outside and play!
Mommy said to check the photos on photobucket for some cute pictures of me. However she is falling asleep on the job because I don't have hardly any photos with her. Maybe cousin Molly will come visit so I can have some photos with Mommy. Because I am a slow eater and I like to eat A LOT Mommy doesn't have a lot of time to figure out how to take pictures with me. She got herself a stick that will allow her to do that, but she is too busy feeding me. Maybe she'll figure it out soon.
On Sunday I got to eat dinner at Grandma Katy's house. Mommy watched a movie with Grandma, Aunt Mary, Hailey and Daddy. I think that Hailey and I will get along great once I get big enough to play with her. Right now it seems like she wants to see if I'm real.
Last night Daddy had a computer fix at Grandma Karen's friend Leta's house. She really likes me. I only tooted and burped on her once. She said that was OK though.
Today we were visited by Mommy's friend Dorothy. Mommy said that they used to work together. Dorothy changed my diaper two times and I got to sleep with her on the couch. I woke up as soon as she left though and filled my pants. Mommy was really happy about it too, because she had me all strapped up in my car seat to go shopping. Well, that led to me being hungry, so we ended up not leaving home for another hour or so.
Mommy bought me another monitor, because the first one she bought didn't work well. We hope this one works better.

I'm 4 weeks old!!
This was a big week for me...well, it was for Daddy. After discovering that it is possible for me to go to sleep when it is dark out, I realized that I feel better and so does Mommy. I kept her up on Sunday and Tuesday nights. But, I slept really good Wednesday through last night. Mommy was starting to wonder if her diet was effecting my sleeping habits...but for now she is just hoping that the new trend sticks.
I got two baths this week, including one yesterday with Grandma Katy. It's funny how I can not control when I need to go #1. I tend to do it right when Mommy is changing me or when she's giving me a bath with Grandma.
On Wednesday we got to go to visit Aunt JohAnna at her work. I got to meet Jill there too! Daddy was getting a pedicure and it was all Aunt JohAnna could do to get it done quickly so she could hold me. I was playing with Jill most of the night, until I got hungry and then it was time to go home.
Yesterday we stopped by Mommy's work again to pick up a blanket that was made by some of Mommy's 4-H volunteers. They made me a fleece blanket! It's really neat! I also got a cool outfit from Jody one of Mommy's co-workers. Mommy's going to have to start taking more photos of me in all of my cool outfits, before I grow out of them!
Yesterday was a big day for Daddy. He found out that he got a new position at work! He applied for the job when I was still in Mommy's tummy. When he stayed with Mommy and me my first two weeks, he didn't check his work email...and it built up and up. By the time he went back he had over a half a million emails! In it was one that said he had an interview. He did that last Friday. We are all excited for him and he starts his new job on February 8!
Yesterday we went to visit Lily and Megan at their house! It was real fun, I also got to meed Maddi. She has red hair. I wasn't very sociable because I was hungry most of the night. Since I took a 4 hour siesta by sleeping from 1:30-5:30.
I missed seeing Grandma Karen this week, Mommy & JohAnna said she has a bad cold, I hope she can visit me soon. I got to see cousin Zac on Tuesday for a short stint at the mall.
If you haven't been over to see me yet, call Mommy, I like having visitors!!

I'm a web star!
I just found out that I'm a web star! Mommy showed me Dionne & Lauren's new website: http://www.wisewomenbirthservices.com/ If you click on the "happy parents" link in the right hand corner of the page you can see me with Mommy & Daddy. They wrote up a nice story about how much they liked having Lauren & Dionne's help when I came.
I'm so excited to be on a 'real' website. This blog is cool, but it's not searchable in Google or anything. Mommy says that I'll have to be much older before I can have my own 'real' website. I wonder how long I'll have to wait!

3 weeks & Eating Out on the Town
I got to go to dinner at a restaurant with Mommy and Daddy last night! It was really fun! I got to see Grandpa Carl, Uncle Denny, Marshall and cousin Sean in addition Aunt Mary, Chris, G-ma Katy and Sean's girlfriend Amanda. We went to a steakhouse. We even saw Jimmy & Angie, Mommy's cousins. This was the first time that Mommy fed me in a 'public' place. That was a little bit of a challenge but it worked out. Mommy got to use her new "Hooter Hider." (see website) I think that Mommy struggled because we were seated at a table for 8 with 10 people and it was a very dimly lit restaurant. But, I ate enough so that everyone could hold me. A lot of people Mommy didn't know thought I was cute.
On Thursday, Mommy's friend Erin came again to visit me. She helped Mommy give me a sponge bath. This one went a lot better than the first one. On Friday I went to visit Grandma Katy.
I got another package in the mail! I got another outfit to wear when I'm bigger. It was from more of Mommy's distant relatives John & Colleen. I also got a gift from Amanda's family. Thank you to both!
Big News -- Most of my umbilical cord fell off yesterday!
Myles enjoys his tummy time!!
Mom's Note
Myles is doing well, although we've had a couple stints of colic. One on Friday lasted about 3+ hours. The good news is that he is sleeping for longer periods of time...especially at night! He doesn't seem to like to hit the hay until after midnight. However, that could be a Tony trait, since he worked 2nd shift for a LONG time.
I'm starting to adjust to less sleep, since I've gone a day or two with out naps during the day. Could have to do with the fact that I'm getting over 2 hours of sleep at a time a little bit more frequently.
Gotta run, he's hungry again!!
