I have had a busy week meeting lots of new people. On Tuesday night, I got to go out to eat with Momma, Daddy and the scheduler for my Daddy's project. I think we might have stayed out kind of late because when we got home I wanted to take a nap on Daddy's shoulder before going to bed. Daddy has the best shoulder for napping.
The Bumbo is really cool because it helps in strengthening my stomach muscles. Since my parents got me the Bumbo they figured it would be nice to have a family picture. The only problem is that some of us didn't want to look at the camera.
While I was in my Bumbo seat I was having a lot of fun with Momma when she was singing and talking to me. I am sure glad Momma and Daddy decided to get me this Bumbo seat. It is nice to get to be sitting up instead of laying on the floor looking at the ceiling.
Since it is Fall we decided it was time to go to the pumpkin patch. At the pumpkin patch I was having fun right up until Momma decided it would be a good idea for me to have a picture with the big pumpkins. I was not to happy about it and I really didnt't like the people around me saying 'Aww that poor little baby.'
When we finally got home I was in a much better mood. I have really been mastering my smiling this week. I am learning lots of new things like making bubbles, sticking my tongue out, grabbing at my toys, and standing up. I know I might be little but my Daddy says I have much stronger legs than he would have imagined I would have at such a young age. I have also been working on lifting my head up when laying on my belly, but I don't like laying on my belly too much so I tend to get mad at Momma and Daddy when they decide it is time for this activity. 
I got to do my very first arts & crafts project: making hand and foot prints out of plaster. I think I had much more fun than my Momma and Daddy because everytime they would put my hand in the plaster I would squeeze my hand. Then they would have to wash it off and start again. They gave up on the hand print and decided to do my feet instead. My Momma said that this is like some of the projects she does with my cousins Kalee Jo, Olivia and Aida. Maybe they will do some projects with me when I am older.
This weekend was very special because Grandama, Grandpa Ray and Aunt Jenna came to visit me. When I woke up on Saturday morning Momma brought me downstairs and right there on the deck with Daddy was Grandpa Ray! I was excited to see him and he must have been excited too, because he took me from Momma and whisked me down to see Grandma. After showing off my bedroom to everyone it was off to the Farmers Market.
Aunt Jenna really liked the shopping on King Street. I am glad that someone got to enjoy it since I am only allowed to browse according to Daddy. At the bike shop I was tired of all the browsing so I just hung out with Grandma. After the bike shop we decided it was time to go and visit at home.
Yesterday, at Dr. Burbridge's Office I found out that I am 8 lbs and 19 inches long. He told me that I was right on target with everything I am learning. I can lift my head up when I am on my tummy and move it from side to side. I have really good neck control and I am able to lift myself up to a sitting position when someone is holding my hands. I am working on mastering my hand coordination, but this is not as easy as it seems. At my appointment I had to get my 2 month old shots which was not as bad as I thought it would be. I only screamed for a little while. I was sad after my appointment and not because of my shots, it was because that was my last appointment with Dr. Burbridge and I was his very 1st infant patient.
I got to take lots of naps while Grand Dad was holding me. He made sure that I was covered in my blanket at all times. We really enjoyed napping in his recliner. It was alot like when my Daddy rocks me in the glider.
One of the nights on my trip I got a little bit cold in our room. Grandma had some of my Daddy's old baby things in our room and I got to wear one of his hats to sleep. It was a little bit big for me but it sure did keep my head warm. It was a good thing that Grandma was ready for us or I might have ended up with one of Daddy's socks on my head instead.
When Daddy went to play golf with Grand Dad and Uncle Justin I got to go shopping with Momma, Grandma and Aunt Michelle. I had my very 1st shopping experience and it was much more fun than going to the grocery store with Momma. I guess this is what the girls do when the boys go play golf. I think I will learn to like shopping a lot. It makes me a little bit sleepy especially when it was time for Momma to tell Daddy about the 2 outfits that I got when I was out shopping. But he didn't seem to care. 
I got to meet Great Uncle Tom and Great Aunt Carolyn when I was in Atlanta, too. We had a lot of fun visiting. It is hard to believe that I have as many Great Aunt's and Great Uncle's on my Daddy's side as I do Aunt's and Uncle's on my Momma's side. I suppose that means I am from a large family.
I sure did have fun at Grandma and Grand Dad's house. I can't wait to go visit them again soon.
Here I am with Grandma, she keeps telling me it is not so bad to look like a Glow Worm. She says that it will make my jaundice go away. Since she is Grandma I know she is right and knows what she is talking about. It sure will be nice to have the Glow Worm away from my belly so I can move around and be more active.
