Well, it hardly seems like its been that long, but today I turned one month old! Recently, I have begun smiling a lot more (Mom thinks she saw me smile at her) and I have started making several new noises. This week, I started sleeping in my crib and I even let Mom get five hours of sleep in a row on two different nights!

Today, Grandma Judy came to babysit me while Mom went out on some errands. After that, Mom and Dad did a special photoshoot with me. I hope you enjoy my one month pictures!

Love,

Yesterday, Grandma Lyn, Grandpa Mike, Grandma Al, and Grandpa Gene came to visit me. I also got to meet Uncle Jace and Aunt Randy for the very first time. As you can see in the video below, I also got to learn about something called Rock & Roll while Uncle Jace held me. I got so excited that I didn't sleep very well last night - I hope you enjoy! (Don't forget to click on the video and go to youtube to rate my video and leave comments!)

I wanted to let you all know that this past week I had my first "official" babysitter - it was Grandpa Mike! He watched me while Mom and Grandma Lyn went out shopping on Saturday. I'm excited because on Thursday, Grandma Lyn and Grandpa Mike are going to babysit me again while Mom and Dad go to the fair.

On Saturday, Mom and Dad got me all dressed up to cheer on the cowboys! I was really excited that Dad got to go to the game and watch them win, even though I was fast asleep by the time he got home.

Well, its time for me to go again, but I wanted to remind everyone that they can always see more pictures of me by clicking on the link on the right side that says "Our Family's Photos".

Goodnight everybody!

Wow, I've had lots of excitement in the last few days! Where do I begin... Well, I've been looking forward to telling you about what Daddy has been doing for me this week. He planted a tree in the front yard for me!! We went last Saturday to the nursery and picked out an Oklahoma Redbud to put in the front yard. Mommy and Daddy said they wanted to plant a tree at the time of my birth. I look forward to watching it grow, knowing it was planted in celebration of me. It will always be special, especially when we can drive by this house years from now and know my Daddy planted the tree just for me.

The other thing Daddy did this week was feed me my first bottle! It was so great. He and I have been looking forward to this time because I'm finally old enough to try the bottle. I liked the bottle a lot! He put it in my mouth and said I did a great job drinking it. I drank it really fast! He got to burp me and everything. It will be a fun memory for me and him.

I also wanted to mention that I met my cousin Fischer this week! I like him a lot, and I think he likes me even more! He wanted to hold me and he wanted to help do things for me. I think he's a good helper and he is good at being gentle with me, too. He came with my Uncle Franklin and Aunt Tracy. We did a lot of fun things with them, including visiting the new place called Pops on Route 66. I am enjoying getting to know all of my family members and I am glad to have such a wonderful, loving family.
