From the 'Easty-Beasty'

"Yes....that is what they call me these days. I guess it's because I cry so often. But I think I am getting better----a little.

I am 8 weeks old. Mom tells me everyday that I am getting bigger. She also tells me to stop growing so fast. But I can't help it. It must be from eating every 2 hours. Really. I still do that. I know most babies my age aren't eating so frequently....and I know mom would like a little break....but I am the boss. I went to the doctor 2 days ago & I weighed 11 pounds. Thanks for the food Mom. You're the BEST!!!!!

I sleep okay. Sometimes, if I sleep in Dad's room (downstairs in the living room), I will sleep for 7-8 hours. Dad sleeps on the couch & I sleep next to him in my bouncer & if I start to wake up, he just gives me a little bounce and I drift off again. Mom likes to get a lot of uninterrupted sleep. And dad really likes to bounce me all night long. If I sleep in my own room (still in my bouncer), I wake up twice...because there is no one there to bounce me back to sleep.

I think Mom is starting to figure me out a little bit. I like when she rocks me to sleep when I am tired. I especially like to sit outside on the porch with her in the white rocking chair. I always stop fussing when we are doing that. I also like when she puts my blanket right up next to my face while I am falling asleep....that gets me everytime!


My sisters are pretty nice I guess. They sure are noisy though. I like when they talk to me when mom is busy. They even give me my binky when it falls out. It falls out a lot. Avery doesn't like to hold me....she's only done it once. But Quinnlyn is getting pretty good at it. She thinks it's cool to stand up while holding me....but mom doesn't think that is a good idea (and neither do I).


Now I know that boys aren't as fun to dress (that's what mom says), but you can't deny that I look pretty handsome in this outfit. Mom is actually pretty successful in finding me clothes. Successful meaning she probably spends to0 much on teeny tiny clothes that I am only going to fit into for a few months at the most. Right now I wear size 3 months.


I am getting good at holding my head up. And I like to stand (with help of course). If I am laying on my back I twist around and get close to rolling over. However, I think it will be a while before I actually do it, because I am usually making people hold me. I don't get a lot of practice time.


People like when I do this. The combination of my mohawk & my cute smile gets them EVERYTIME! The other day some lady rubbed her hand all over my head. She must've REALLY loved my hair. It's getting pretty long. I wonder if mom will give me a hair cut soon.


Here I am chillin' with dad. I don't 'CHILL' very often....so mom had to capture it on camera.

Mom keeps giving me GROSS medicine for my Acid Reflux. I really hate it & I usually scream my head off. If I try to spit it out, mom squeezes my cheeks. It's not nice....and I usually scream louder. We do this twice a day. She's also making me take 'probiotics'. She's been doing internet research on 'infant reflux' and wants to try different things that have helped other babies. So...I have been going to a chiropractor. I like it. She gives me a massage, & I just lay there. I even went to sleep during my first treatment. Last time she hung me upside down. I didn't cry...but it was a little unexpected. I hope something starts working, because it hurts when I eat.

So that's me at 8 weeks.
