Burp Time with Daddy

I make strange faces when being burped. I definitely almost always wake up. That tempts Mommy and Daddy into not burping me after feeding me. But then I often spit-up, sometimes multiple times, and that wakes me up, too. It's a Catch-22.

Poop Machine

This is my fourth full trash bag of dirty diapers and I've only been home for 12 days!

Caterpillar

Mommy and Daddy have me swaddled real snug. Don't I look like a caterpillar?

Hair Dryer Lullaby

I've been fussy and haven't been able to fall asleep all morning. In the middle of my latest screaming fit of fussiness, Mommy finally plugged in the hair dryer. She had read a popular baby book, "The Happiest Baby on the Block", where a pediatrician talks about how the first 3 months after birth is the missing fourth trimester and that babies are fussy because they miss being in the womb. His solution: replicate conditions in the womb as much as possible. Apparently, it is loud in the womb with the constant wooshing of blood through arteries and heartbeats. He suggests turning on vacuum cleaners or hair dryers to calm fussy babies down. Mommy read the book with some skepticism, noting the lack of clinical research and scientific techniques. However, she gave it a try today. Within 15 seconds of the hair dryer being turned on, I quieted down. Mommy doesn't know if it's a coincidence or actually works... and I'm not going to tell her either!

My Favorite Picture with Daddy

This is an "old" picture of Daddy and me. It was taken on Wedn., July 14, right after I was born. I would have posted it sooner but I didn't know about this picture earlier. Daddy doesn't look anywhere near 40 years old in this picture, does he?

Playtime in My Gymini

Spending some time in the Gymini. Everywhere I look there is toy. I actually find the TV stand much more interesting, and am staring at that in this picture.

My Car Seat: That's How I Roll

I'm getting used to my car seat. I don't mind it as much anymore. I slept in my car seat most of the way back from the doctor's office.

The diaper cloth around my head is not my idea of high fashion. Mommy and Daddy put it there to prevent my head from flopping around in the car seat since I'm still small. I wish they could have spent a minute finding something more fashionable, though. :)
