Two Months Old
Hi Everyone!
Well, we have made it for two whole months of me being here! We are doing pretty well. I have been being a little difficult at night, not wanting to go to sleep. There is just too much to do here. Mommy says I have my nights and days mixed up. I am doing better though now, but the last couple weeks were a bit trying for mommy and daddy both. This weekend, my Meema and Poppa are coming all the way from New York just to meet me! We will have so much fun when they are here. We are getting pictures made on Monday, a real family portrait! (Sounds like just a lot of flash bulbs going off to me).
Here are some other highlights of the last month ...
*I have a bank account set up, mommy says it's important to start saving early. She is also setting up a college fund - college?! I am still in diapers!
*I stayed the night in a hotel with mommy and daddy last weekend. Mommy thinks that I need to start learning how to travel since I will be hitting the road soon. It wasn't too bad, but you should have seen the stuff mommy had to pack for just one night and just for me.
*I had my eight-week check up at Dr. Cook's last Friday. I am growing well!
I weigh 11 pounds, 3 ounces (48% tile) and I am very tall, 24.25 inches (89% tile). We still are not sure where I get my height from. Grandma says I am filling out. She and Grandpap went to the Super Bowl and didn't see me for six whole days. They stayed with long-time family friends Mr. and Mrs. B.
Mommy says I am gaining so much weight, that she needs to start eating more salads. I had four shots this time, but I was a big boy and didn't cry too much (I think mommy cried though).
*My cousin Abbie has me over to play a couple times a week - it is lots of fun. Mommy really appreciates Auntie Rachel helping out and Auntie Rachel loves holding me.
*Mommy and me spent the night by ourselves last week for the first time.
Daddy had to go out of town for work and Grandma was gone too. Mommy and me had an "understanding" about my sleep schedule.
*We watched the Super Bowl and our team - the Steelers - won! Ever since I was born the Steelers have not lost a game. Grandma says I was the good luck charm (Daddy is hoping the luck carries through to his NY Mets). I had my Steeler outfit on for the game (thank you Susan!) last weekend. I watched in the hotel bar with a bunch of Daddy's work people. (Thanks Rob for inviting
me!)
*I can look right at you and smile and coo now. This is what melts my mommy and daddy's hearts. My head does not wobble as much and I sleep about 5.5 hours at night.
I want to brag about my daddy for a minute. His friend Ron Baker just wrote another book and my daddy got to review it. He has a quote on the back flap of the book! I am so proud of my daddy. I hope I am as smart as he is. The book is on amazon.com, if you are interested.

Well, mommy and daddy have a two-day event to go to starting tomorrow. This is what they call "work." All I know is that I am going to spend the night at Grandma's house! We will have so much fun, because you know ... "what happens at Grandma's, stays at Grandma's"
Mommy says to tell you that we are looking at April 23 for my Baptism, we are waiting for confirmation from the priest.
We hope you are all well and that we see you soon, Love, Sean Michael PS - Happy Valentine's Day!
