Santa!!

I finally met this guy!! Mommy and Grandma took me to the mall the other day to meet Santa. I took a nap in the car so I wasn't my cheerful self when I met him. He was so nice to me. He loved my shirt too. It said Santa's little helper!


Maybe he didn't understand me when I was telling him how good I've been. Last night he came to check up on me! He sure is a sneaky guy! Too bad Daddy wasn't there to see him. I think he would love to meet Santa!







In other news....my next doctors appointment is December 21st. That's my 6 month checkup and my last set of shots for a while. Phew! I bet I'll hit 25 pounds by then.

I started walking in a walker now. It's GREAT!! I can go anywhere. I'm all over the place now!



I'm going to my first Christmas party next weekend too!! All my friends are going to be there. Kelcie, Hannah, Jared, Justin, and 2 more who aren't ready yet! They're still in their mom's bellies!! I can't wait to meet Audra! Maybe Jared and Justin's mom will have another boy so I can have a boy close to my age to hang out with. My friend Kai will be close to my age, but I'll only see him in the summer. He lives in a belly in Florida now!!

I hope to see everyone real soon. We'll be home for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Everyone is welcome to come by and visit us.

Here are some random pics for ya!!










Sleeping in my high chair!

So many holidays!!

Well, it's been 5 whole months since I arrived. It's going by so quick and I'm so big already. It makes my mom sad sometimes, I can tell. I can roll over from my belly, but haven't mastered rolling from my back yet.

So, that Halloween thing was fun, but everyone was eating delicious candy and I didn't get to have any!! I got to dress up as my favorite character. We walked around the neighborhood at Grandma & Unc's house and everyone told me how cute I am!!




Thanksgiving was a good too. I got to have a whole turkey on my high chair, but they didn't let me eat it. I wanted it so bad. I guess I'll stick to the mush they feed me for now. So far I've liked it all except carrots. YUCK!! They mad me gag and I didn't know how to spit them out. DOUBLE YUCK!! I hope I don't have to eat those again for a while. I'm moving on to green veggies this week, then I get to try some with meat. Mommy doesn't want to taste those ones.

I'm very excited for this Christmas thing everyone keeps talking about! I can't wait to meet this Santa guy! I think I've been pretty good this year so I hope he brings me something extra special!! We have a big tree in our parlor now and lots of lights everywhere. I think it's so Santa will be able to find our house!

4 month appointment

On Friday I had my 4 month appointment and my doctor said I'm off the charts!! I'm 26.5 inches long and weigh 20 pounds!! He said we're talking linebacker....6' 3" 220 lbs! He's thinking I'll get a scholarship to BC and buy my mom a Mercedes!!

He gave the ok to start some new foods. So far I've just had applesauce, but it was yummy!! It was a little weird, but I'm loving it!!

The Red Sox

Yay!! The Red Sox won the pennant!! I woke up in time to watch the end of the game just so I can say one day that I seen the Red Sox win the pennant in 2007. I went to bed early and woke up around 11 because I just knew my dad was doing something fun without me!! So me and dad watched the rest of the game while my mom tried to go to sleep. She couldn't sleep though until she knew I was sleeping.



This morning I got to ride in my big boy car seat! I was too big for that little one they were squeezing me into! My new one feels so much more comfy! Today is my 4 month birthday! I have my 4 month doctors appointment on Friday and I'm going to wear one of my costumes there. Maybe my devil one!

I'm ready for steak!!

Daddy finally found my tooth on Thursday night!! It's been coming through, but no one felt it. Mommy was feeling in my mouth earlier on Thursday when I was being cranky, but she didn't feel it. Finally Daddy lifted up my lip and seen it. It's on top on my right side. Not a front tooth, more toward the side and it's not coming straight down. It's coming out toward the front. Maybe now they'll start giving me some delicious stuff off a spoon. This formula stuff just ain't cutting it!!

Me, me , me!

My mom loves to take my picture!

My big cousin!

Last night I got to hang out with my big cousin Tina Marie!



I kept checking out those 2 ponytails she had and can't wait til I can start pulling them just like her dad used to do to my mom when they were little. I can't wait til next year to go to Storyland with her!! Then in a few years we'll be going to Disney together!! (Tina Marie is being Minnie Mouse for halloween and I'm being Mickey and they didn't even plan it! Our parents really must love Disney!!) I hope we fly there and don't don't drive like my mom said they did when they were young. Then again, they do have lots of funny stories about all the vacations they took when they were young. Disney, Storyland, Pollaces, Indian Head. It seems like my mom and her cousin Mike always had a good time together and I hope me & Tina Marie will too!!

Kelcie is here!!

YAY!!! I got to meet my new friend Kelcie last night when she was only 23 hours old! She's so cute! I got to hang out with her for a little while and hope to have lots of playdates with her and Hannah! Mommy tells me that she hopes we go on real dates together when we all get bigger. I hope to make a special trip to Naples, Florida this winter to visit Kai once he's born. He should be here in January!! Now we're just waiting to find out if Aunty Margaret is having a boy or a girl on St. Patrick's Day!! Only 3 more weeks til we know!!

Here's a sneak peek at what I'm going to be for Halloween!!

I'm blessed!

It was so nice to see all my family and friends at my blessing party last week! I can't wait to be able to run around with all those crazy kids soon! It looks like so much fun. Maybe Jared and Justin will teach me and Hannah how to do the Hokey Pokey and the Cha Cha Slide.

My blessing ceremony was fun too! It was in Lynn at a big house near the beach. A nice lady said some really nice things about be and my godparents (Aunty Margaret & Uncle Paul) said the things taht they hope for me in my life....Happiness, health, success, even wealth! It was supposed to be outside, but it was raining. Mommy says it always rains on important days. It rained on her and Daddy's wedding and on some of their honeymoon! It rained on the day I was born too! Must be good luck!!

Today I decided to wake up at 3:30 am. I think it's because I'm so excited that my new friend Kelcie should be born today! Her mom, Katie, went into the hospital last night. I can't wait to meet her. In a few weeks I'll find out if Aunty Margaret and Uncle Cliffy are having a boy or a girl. I really need a boy to hang out with!

This is me in my rain boots. Mommy should've had me wear those with my tux if they're for the rain!

Me chillin' in my jumparoo! My favorite toy!

Yup, it stinks!

Going back to work stinks just as much as mommy thought it would. I had been sleeping through the night lately, but not last night. I knew Mommy was feeling sad about something so I couldn't sleep that good. I just wanted her to hold me, I think she thought she was comfoting me, but really I was trying to make her feel better. She got up at 5:15 AM to take a shower and I layed in bed with Daddy for a while, but I was up and ready to eat when she got out. I was glad she got up so early so we could spend some time together, even if it was just to feed me & change my diaper I was all smiles and it made it harder for Mommy. She so wanted to stay home and just adore my smiling face all day, BUT that's not how it works right now, so she started having a mini breakdown, but pulled herself together. We were out of the house by about 20 past 6, hit Dunkin, and were off to Grandma's. Grandma and Unc were both waiting anxiously by the door. We went in and I was smiling and being such a ham for them. Mommy stayed for a few, but then it was off to work for her. She put my pictures in her office and talked me up to all her friends at work. She came to visit me at lunch while I was hanging out and having a great time with Grandma, Aunty Carol and my cousin Lorna. They were putting my jumperoo together and Mommy fed me, I peed on her, and then I was so comfy that I fell asleep. Obviously this is much harder on her than it is on me!!

Back to work!

Whoever these women were who wanted to have equal rights should have been put in jail for neglect. I can't even imagine that there are women who WANT to go to work instead of staying home with their kids. I won't vote, I won't drive. That's fine! I watched the movie "The Ex" last night and I was crying because the girl had a baby and was a stay at home mom. This really sucks! Monday will be my first day back to work and I'll probably cry. I can't even imagine if I had to send him to daycare. At least I know he'll be safe and loved all day by my mom (she'll hold him as much as I do, if not more), but I'll miss him so much. What am I going to do when he goes to school or moves out or gets married??? That's it, he can never leave me. He's getting so big, it's crazy. He sleeps through the night and is pretty good all day. We bought his Halloween costume already. He's gonna be Mickey Mouse!! It's so cute!! I can't wait!!

Waaaaahhhhhhh!!!!

I'm slowly becoming more and more depressed. I'm DREADING going back to work. It's going to be so hard. I'll be working 4 days a week and Maddox will be staying with my mom, which is right down the street from my work so I'll be able to see him at lunch everyday. He's changed so much since he was born. It's absolutely insane! Thursday is his next doctors appointment and he'll be getting his shots. Not sure I'll be able to deal with that very well. He's still a really good baby and slept through the night a couple times already. He went on his first vacation to York Beach, Maine. He's already been on a few dates so far too! Too cute!!

2 1/2 weeks

I still can't even believe that I am a mom!!! It's so crazy that Brandon & I created this little person!! He's a good baby, but doesn't sleep as much as I thought a newborn would. He loves to be awake and looking around at everything. I think he's afraid he's going to miss something!! Just like his mom!! He's so curious. He LOVES to be held and I think he's already spoiled which I'm sure I will come to regret eventually, but I just can't put him down.

At his 2 week checkup on Friday he was just shy of 10 pounds and 22 1/2 inches long. I feel like I'm overfeeding him since he always wants to eat, but the doctor says it's fine. He's been eating 4 oz. every 3-4 hours for at least the past week. I don't know where he puts it!!
