Weeks 7-12


Hey all!  I've had a lot going lately so it has been a little challenging to give you all an update.  

First up, Momma and I have been venturing out of the house more.  We have been going to play group at the local library where we can meet other kids and their mommas.  I have also been going with Momma to La Leche meetings.  These are great as well because I get to watch more kids and the moms can discuss the ins and outs of breast feeding.

We also went to the Bradley class reunion.  This was the class Momma and Daddy took to get prepared for my arrival and have a natural childbirth.  We got to see all the folks that went to the class with my parents and their children.  Needless to say I wasn't too happy during this trip and fussed most of the time.  I let everyone know that I was in the house :)

I've been doing quite a bit of road tripping here lately.  The first trip we took was to Crossplains, TN to visit Sam and Steph.  They are expecting a son at the end of June so we went to the baby shower.  I can't wait to meet "Jr"!

The big road trip was back to IL to meet all of my family.  It takes about 11 hours to drive from GA to IL so Momma and Daddy thought it was best to leave at 9 PM and drive through the night, that way they could capitalize on me sleeping a good majority of the drive.  I did quite well and we only had to stop twice to eat.


Once we arrived in IL it was crazy.  We first had an open house at G-ma A's house.  There I got to meet Sara, Kailee, Evan, Conner, Cole, Juanita, Beth, Lisa, Glenn, Great G-ma D, Cheryl, Tom, Theresa, Jenni, Liz, Jason, Aunt Kathy, Cassie, and of course G-ma and G-pa A.




The next day was an open house at G-ma and G-pa M's house.  I got to meet Uncle Nick, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Joel, Ryan, Lydia, Brenna, Uncle Pat, Aunt Marsha, Jessica, Kyle, Jenn, Tawnya, Jon, Uncle Ed, Aunt Brenda, Brittney, Lauren, Kalley, Kendra, Maddison, Jackson, Aunt Michelle, G-ma M, and G-pa M.




After all the excitement in IL we headed back home to GA.  When we returned I went to the my 6 week checkup.  Every went well and the Dr. was happy with my progress.  I now weigh 11 lbs 4 oz and am 24 in length.

Lately I have been sleeping very well and I started taking a bottle.  The bottle is a good supplement to feeding with my Momma and I stay a lot happier during the day.  I'm also starting to find my hands and fingers and also making all kinds of noises.

Anyway I hope you all are doing well and we'll talk at you soon :)
