One Month Old and Wise Beyond My Weeks

Believe it or not today is my birthday.... again. That's right today I turned ONE month old. I can hardly believe it myself. Daddy cooked drunk chicken on the big green egg and Mommy had several Margaritas to celebrate my big day! I'm such a wise little guy at the ripe old age of 4 weeks... I have started smiling at my parents....they love it!!!!!!! Didn't take me long to figure out one teeny little smile can get me whatever I want.....Irresistable I tell you! Check out my month old b'day pics below. How precious am I?
It's my Birthday, I can cry if I want to...
I'm going to knock out the next person who pounds me on my back....SERIOUSLY!!!! Who convinced you people that burping a baby feels good? I'm such a "green" baby...check out my cool environmental friendly G Diapers. And NO... my bum is not covered in Auburn orange..or Tennesse orange for that matter!

Just kicking it on my new screened in porch! Feels good to relax for a change....oh yeah I do that most of the time any how. Oh well...still feels good!

Adventures Galore!

Well Duh! Of course I had another adventurous week. Mommy and Daddy wouldn't have it any other way. Mommy takes me on all of her errands, which is really cool. I especially like Target....they have lots of toys!!!! Sometimes Mommy shoves me in somthing called a sling, which is kind of like taking a wild ride back in her tummy. You ask what else...as if errands were not adventurous enough? Well, I attended my first ever wedding which was quite beautiful if I may say so myself. May I also add that I was so well behaved and looked very handsome in my outfit. And if that still wasn't enough I posed for my first real life photo shoot, went to lunch with some of Mommy's friends and met several new visitors. However, my very favorite thing this week was my first ever play date with Harrison & Jackson. We all cried a little, fussed a little, sucked our pacis (sp?) together and even played the silent game a good bit. It is simply amazing how much fun I can have laying next to my two buddies and completly pretending like they don't exist. Imagine how much fun we will have when I can actually turn my head to look at them.

Week 3 = A Fussy Little Me

Well the honeymoon ended for my parents this week, but they say they still love me. I decided to finally wake up, and much to mom and dad's surprise I actually want to be held 100% of the time....well at least 90%. Good thing my lungs function great b/c I can yell loud enough to be heard from practically anywhere....I found that is a great way to get attention. Who says a three week old can't communicate effectively?
As for week 3 firsts - I FINALLY got my first tummy Zerbert. It was so funny....kind of tickles. Mom said she waited to give me that long awaited Zerbert until my stump fell off. She said it was nasty and wanted no part of it before now. I also received my first real bath!
My new and improved "stumpless" belly!

Here's lookin' at you kid....well not sure where I am looking?

My First Doctor's Visit - YUK!!!

I went to the doc yesterday. I was really, really, really not fond of the needle. In fact, I thought that I did a darn good job expressing my displeasure when they pricked my heel. Hopefully Mom, Dad and the Doctor got the picture and will keep needles far away from me in the future! Hint, Hint! But, besides me throwing my little fit (well maybe explosion would be a better description), Dr. Smith thought that I looked great! Can you believe that I had already grown 2 inches in 2 weeks and gained just under one pound? My official measurements are now a whopping 9.08 lbs and 23 inches long, plus look at my FINE looking chest below. Ladies....any takers? I'm available!

Another Week, Another Birthday!

Happy B'day to me...again! Week 2 has come and gone, and it made Mommy a little sad. But, we celebrated anyway -- Yates' style. The whole family went to eat Japenese to celebrate my 2 week b'day. Daddy is starting me early on fried rice (don't freak...not really!). Coach & Gran also gave me a b'day gift...I am going to love my snuggly bear.

Happy Father's Day, Daddy!!!!

I have the bestest Daddy in the world. I hope he had a great first Father's Day...doing yard work :) Good thing we are both Bama fans...only way to go if you ask me!

Oh me, Oh my!!!

Wow what a week. Shew...it was great fun but it sure did fly by! I'm starting to open up my eyes a little more regularly and my bowel movements ("BM's") are now fierce and frequent! In fact, last night I shot Daddy's hands, shorts, the carpet, the door etc. I would wait until Daddy got me all cleaned up and then blast him again.....it was a tri fecta. Tee Hee. Mom thinks I just may have a future in paint ball :)
I went to Nana's house for the very fist time. She showed my my room at her house, complete with crib and rocker and my play closet. I plan to spend lots of time there...it looks like it will be so much fun. I also went to the mall for the very first time and took my first trip to Cousin Claire's house to celebrate her 2nd birthday. I can't wait to play with Claire and Ashley when I get a little bigger. And of course, the visitors keep coming!

Look at me bright eyed and bushy tailed...well maybe bright eyed & bald!
This is me in the day gown that Aunt Marie made for me. Thank you sooo much. I love it! Here I am with my pal Jackson. He is almost 4 months old. Think I'll be that big at his age? I'm a little scared of him right now. He is a giant. And here is me, Aunt Ashley & Jackson. Mommy is jealous of how skinny she already is after just having her baby boy, Jackson.
Me & Nana....Don't I look comfy! Me & Daddy before his golf outing. He is going to teach me how to play soon. We just watched the US Open together. He's hoping I have a future in golf rather than paint ball. Me, Marti & Jess. Thanks for feeding me!
Me & Scott. We'll miss you when you move to Dallas!!!! Mommy is really sad.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Here are a couple of pics from my 1 week birthday. Boy am I precious...but I wasn't too fond of the hat!
