A Week of Firsts

Swimming in the pool, a horse carriage ride around Charleston, the beach and ocean...so many firsts this week. The favorite is swimming in the pool. Those legs are kicking all the time, watching the water wiggle. The week in South Carolina was a good one. Everyone had a great time and Dad and I got some good bonding time. So much has changed these past two or so weeks. I am full of smiles and giggles and am chatting up a storm.

Tummy time in the condo was as fun as ever, though there wasn't much of it. There were plenty of good people to hold me. As it turns out, I am a good traveler. I like to visit new places, and Mom and Dad say if they're desperate, they'll get on an airplane to help me fall asleep, though a little pricey. Back at home now, Mom and I are braving our first over night, just the two of us, as Dad has had to go away for work. So far we're having a great day together. We miss you, Dad!

Preparation Day

Today we are running around the house trying to get ready for our very first airplane ride. We are going to South Carolina for the wedding and then to sit on the beach with my new shades from Gramma and Gramps Lepard. Gramma says the girl babies are going to swoon over me.

We all wonder how that first airplane ride will be.

Today I am not napping very well again, just 30 minutes here and there. And when I awake...not happy. Why do kiddos fight their nap when they are tired? I am full of smiles if I am able to pull off a longer nap. How can we make those longer naps a common thing? Hopefully time will tell.

See you in the Carolinas!

Sweet Dreams for a Sweet Face

Monday night we all slept through the night! He ate at 11pm and didn't wake up until 7am. What a guy!

As for the baseball game...Burrr! Mom got too cold and we had to leave. We'll try again soon. And we forgot to bring the camera. Macabe was looking mighty fine in his baseball outfit though.

Yesterday Macabe and Dad had lunch together while Mom had a meeting. Then Mom and Macabe met some other mms and babies down by the Spraypark. It was a fun day for all.

Caught on Tape!

The boy does smile and coo and sleep! What a difference. He is seemingly feeling much better with his new medicine for acid relux. I hope it lasts. Oh, the fun we have together now! I told the Dr. on Monday that I had two very differnt children who were trapped in the same body...I am thinking we may have found our true little guy again. Mom and Dad even left the house to socialize with others last night during the evening hours. He slept most of the time, instead of purple faced crying...for everyone (see last weeks' Friday night post!). We are feeling cautiously optimistic, but certainly enjoying our fun right now. Tonight we are going to try a Loons baseball game in the evening with Uncle brad and Aunt Kristin. We've got the baseball outfit all laid out. We'll be sure to bring the camera.

Friday Night Lights (out)

Friday Night...Little Macabe is trying to decide if he's hungry, hurting, or happy. Mom is still trying to understand "why" the little man fusses. Dad is trying to decide who needs him more. Finally...Rest for all....Dad decides to start a blog....why not.
