I’m still working on my style, but I have now transitioned from the army (stomach dragging) crawl to a knees and hands crawl.
I waited until I had the attention of Mommy, Daddy, Grandma Patty, Grandpa Denny and Auntie Heidi – and then I showed them what I could do!
Yah, I stink. So what? I make up for it by being deliciously cute.
I’m getting tired of everyone talking about my stinky butt, stinky toots, foul odor and other comments alluding to my unfortunate flatulence.
Just accept it, deal with it, and pray I grow out of it.
Front to back a couple of weeks ago. Now back to front. I’m a superstar!
Despite all the puking, I am putting on weight fast. Just had my one-month checkup and I weighed in at 11 lbs 13 oz. Now well out of the average weight range and the little dot for my height (24 inches) is off the top of the chart. All is well, though I did not appreciate the shot.
Went to the Dr. yesterday and my bilirubin was high (16) so the Dr. sent me to the hospital for some phototherapy. Momma was quite upset. They hooked me up to the matrix and I was glowing between two biliblankets for about 24 hours. Daddy and Liza came to visit a couple of times, and Momma stayed in my room overnight with me. She called me her little “nightlight”.
They came to squeeze blood out of my heel every six hours, which was not pleasant. I slept the rest of the time.
Finally they took me off the blankets and tested my blood one last time and then let us go home. I’m still a bit yellow, but that should go away over the next week or so.
I came home today, to be greeted by Grandma Joyce and Liza. Liza was very excited that we were home and kept saying, “Baby Jake home!” She is very interested in all of my stuff. Baby car seat. Baby chair. Baby binky. Baby blankie. So far we’re getting along real well. She likes to give me things, like these ducks on my feet in the photo below.
I got to meet my big sister Liza today. She came to visit me in the hospital with Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Gene. She held me for a few seconds before declaring that she was “all done” and then she proceeded to climb all over the hospital room and to mess with the controls on Mommys bed. She gave me a gift, a musical sheep for my bed, and I gave her a book, “I’m a Big Sister Now”. She seems to like me, but I’m also afraid she’s going to poke me in the eye.
