My 1st Christmas



I weigh 7lbs 7oz and am about 19 3/4in long! Mom & dad are happy b/c I am grunting less and less! Mom gets better sleep now! I am close to smiling. Very close. My mom says I have the prettiest dark blue eyes for a boy, & long eyelashes to flirt w/girls. She thinks I'm gonna be a heartbreaker. Thankfully, my hair on top has started to come back in! But now I'm wearing off a spot on the back. Good thing I have a decent amount! And it's dark!
What a fun, very eventful past two days! Mommy & Daddy had a special tree this year, just for me! It was decorated in blues and had baby themed ornaments. They said I was the best xmas present ever!
We had the Stallings Family Xmas here at home. I got an outfit from Aunt Melanie & Uncle Kenny, my cousins Azlin & Chris. Mammaw & Pappaw Stallings got me a stuffed animal. I met Kenny & Chris & Great Mama Coco for the first time. Then Santa Claus even came to visit!
We went to Mamaw & Papaw Clark's on Xmas Day. I got an outfit and a jean jacket from Uncle Eric, Aunt Katrina, & Haylee. Uncle Grant, Aunt Shannon & my wild & crazy cousins, Garrett, Alex & Cole got me 2 outfits and a pair of shoes! Mamaw & Papaw got me my favorite...food. Two big containers of formula & a boy cabbage patch kid. Daddy made fun of it but even he had one when he was little! He just won't admit it!
That night we went to the Etienne Family Xmas, this year was at Great Uncle David & Nancy's house. The little kids have a gift exchange. I had Noah's name & got him fishing stuff. Alexandria had my name. She wrote me a sweet letter that mommy put in my keepsake box & got me a teddy bear that laughs & a pair of booties. Great Grandpa Etienne gave me my first $5. It's in my piggy bank, that Uncle Daniel, Sherry, Zeb & Max gave me.
Pat, Glenda & Addison (who is mom & dad's godchild) got me a camoflauge bottle, pacifier, and bib. Now I'm ready to go hunting with the big boys at Deer Camp!
It was a great holiday. We are very blessed with our family of 3.

Newborn Photo Shoot

Since Mommy's home with me & her being the Queen of Frugalness, she decided to be my photographer. We got lots of good pics, even got Daddy to join in. Everyone thinks these are professionally done but nope just my momma! She's so good! Take a look and see!!

1 month old!

I am one month old today! I am growing like a weed! I am out of my preemie clothes and now into my newborn size! I enjoy sleeping on my belly, that's usually how I nap during the day. My hair on top of my head has started to disappear, going bald already. I like to be sang to, dance & listen to music, jury is still out about daddy's guitar playing. I am a big burper, there's no doubt if I have burped or not. You'll hear it! I've even embarrassed mom a couple of times in public! People are surprised that BIG noise came out of little ol' me!! Hee hee!
I am 4 weeks old and technically that means I'm only 0 weeks! I like it when mommy talks goofy to me, I really listen! I enjoy my tummy time and lift my head up like a big boy. Mom & dad are so proud of me! If only I could get them to stop taking SO MANY pictures of me!!

1st Pediatrician appt

Today I went to see Dr Johnston in Owensboro. All the nurses wanted to keep me, they thought I was so little & cute! Duh! What else would you expect them to say?!
Dr J was super happy with my progress. I weighed 5lbs 14oz and was 18in long! What a growth spurt in a week! I am filling out all my wrinkles, starting to look less like a shar-pei puppy!
Mom says I'm very nosey. I like to watch people talking to me. I really like the ceiling fan, even when it's off. I can hold my head up, they think I look like a turtle! I wrinkle up my forehead (3 full wrinkles) when I'm curiously looking around, like a little old man! Mommy & Mamaw Clark just laugh & laugh when I do that!
I eat like a big boy! Around 4 oz every 3 hours. Just started to sleep 4 hours straight at night time! Mom's happy!!
