David : Oct 14, 2009 Four Weeks Old

I went to the doctor today with Adam. There are so many sick kids these days we had to sit in a wellness room to stay away from their yucky germs. Adam cried and cried the whole time at the doctor's office. I just slept. I guess Adam wasn't feeling very well today so he was extra cranky.

Anyway, I weighed in at 11 lbs. 4 oz. And I am now 22" long. I am in the 75th percentile for height and weight. I'm not as big as my big brother. But, I'm a hungry boy so I am working on it.

Last night I finally slept for a 3.5 hour stretch. I still don't sleep for long stretches but I just get up to eat and go back to sleep so the parents find it doable. I've been sleeping in my crib for the last two nights. I like having my own room. I like looking at the squares on the wall that Aunt Suzy painted.

Okay, I"m going to eat and then catch some shuteye.

David : Oct 11, 2009 Rolling Over - Is it a fluke?

I have now rolled over 15 times. When is this doctor lady going to believe that this is not a fluke. Adam is being decent to me. Pretty much he ignores me. I was screaming in the car seat next to him and all I got was a quick glare and then he stared out the window. I guess I 'll have to work harder to get on his nerves.

I had fun this weekend with Nana and Grandpa. Nana says that I am "Expressive." Mama calls it "Loud." Mama says I sound like a bear eating a goose when I eat. Dada says it sounds like a dying giraffe. I even got looks at church today. Man..it's nice to know everyone has such nice things to say about me. I tell them you just wait..one day you'll miss my baby noises.

Well, mama is hoping I sleep more than 3 hours straight tonight. We'll see!

Nigh Nigh!

David : Oct 07, 2009 Three Weeks Old

I like to eat. I like to sleep. I poop a lot. I still haven't slept for more than 3 hours straight but mama appreciates the predictability of my schedule (for now). I have a lot longer wakeful periods these days and I am starting to fuss at times where I'm not just hungry. Sometimes i just want someone to hang out with me. Mama is just happy that is not happening in the middle of the night yet. My bro is being decent to me. I just hate it when he feeds me old bottles. Oh well. It's the thought that counts.

David : Oct 02, 2009 Where did Dada go?

Well, it looks like the tall guy is gone for a few days. I tried to convince him to take that brother of mine with him but he said both of us boys need our Mama. Mama did a good job getting both of us ready this morning. Adam played in the bathroom while Mama fed me. I hung out in the play pen while Mama changed, dressed and fed Adam. Mama puts both of us in her lap and scoots down the stairs on her bottom to get us both down the stairs at the same time. It looks silly but I suppose it's the safest way to go about it.

Well I'm hungry now. Time to scream for Mama.
