One Fine Day...

We had a lazy day and I enjoyed laying in everyone's arms. I'm going to try to stay out of that crib as long as I can! I did get down and do some tummy time in the afternoon. I got a new tummy time mat from Grandaddy & Granny that has a little pillow for me to lay on...I really like that! This morning Mommy put me in a outfit that looked a bit like Daddy's work uniform. But since I like to eat so much I've already grown out of it! Daddy didn't like me wearing "knickers" so he changed me into my cool t-shirt. Mommy got it for me...and I think it's true for both Grandma N and Granny F!
Grandaddy and I taking a nap together.
Granny and I even took a nap together!
My pillow helps me hold up my cheeks!
Granny gave me a bottle today. I'm getting better at not getting the milk all over me!
Isn't my Granny F pretty?I've got good genes!
Daddy can I grow up and be like you one day?
I was trying to talk Daddy into staying home with me instead of going into work today!

Meeting Grandaddy and Granny F!

On Monday I got to meet my Granny & Grandaddy F. We drove to Lawton to pick them up at the airport. They flew all the way from Atlanta, GA to meet me. I guess they think I am pretty special. Unfortunatley, I didn't get a chance to eat before they first met me so I don't think I gave them a very good first impression with all my fussing. But they still loved on me anyway, after I ate of course.

I think I convinced her...I'm pretty darn cute!
Giving kisses to Granny!

Granny and I getting to know each other.
If I didn't know after meeting Grandpa N, I definitely know where I get my big hands from now....both of them!
Grandaddy was sure excited to be holding "his baby's" baby.

Exciting Times in Altus, OK

Well there isn't too much to do here in Altus, but Daddy & Mommy still managed to take a few photos last week. Daddy was sick so he didn't get to hold me too much which wasn't fun for either one of us. Mommy had to try and use the carrier so that I could still be held and she could get some things done around the house. I still like to eat and continue to grow. I've gotten good at taking naps during the day and being wide awake at 4:30am. For some reason Mommy doesn't think that's such a fun routine!

I had to look out for that crazy Altus paparrazi during our walk!
I really didn't feel like doing tummy time so I decided to take a nap instead!

Taking a nap next to Mommy. One day I'll try to lay in my crib to sleep!

4 weeks old!

I'm a big boy! I am 4 weeks old and I already weigh 11 pounds 7 ounces. I sure like to eat and Mommy and Daddy are worried to see what the grocery bill is going to look like as I get older!

I was even smiling a little bit for the camera!
Such a big boy!
Hanging out with Daddy...I had a bit of a blow-out in my clothes earlier!
Mommy found some photos of Grandma & I on her camera.
I sure do miss Grandma's shoulder to sleep on.

One Sad Sunday...

Grandma and Grandpa had to leave to go back to their home in North Dakota. We were all sad to see them go. I sure will miss them...especially early in the morning when Daddy and Mommy would take their naps and I'd watch the Today show with Grandma and Grandpa.

I really like my new playmat that Grandma and Grandpa got for me. I am even starting to like my tummy time on here.
This is my blanket that Grandma crocheted for me. It matches my room and is super soft.
What?! You have to leave?
Mommy....are they really leaving?
Grandpa...do you really have to go back to ND today?
No Grandma! I don't want you to go!

My 1st Valentine's Day!

Of course they had to take some photos of me and my Valentine's Day outfit and bear that I got from Grandma and Grandpa N.
I'm still not so sure about all these photos!

Mommy was trying to talk me into taking a few more photos...
I really wasn't feeling that though!

My First Trip!

Grandma turned the blog over to Mommy and I've been keeping her busy so it's been a few days since we've added anything new. These pictures are from my first trip out of state. I was lucky enough to leave Oklahoma to go to....Texas! Daddy says I shouldn't be that excited! We visited my grandma's cousin, Joni and her family. She cooked/baked for the people with teeth and we enjoyed their company. We also did a little bit of shopping but I enjoyed that about as much as Daddy and Grandpa.
I was smiling even after my 3 hour car ride.
Joni was sure excited to get to meet me.
Apparently my Grandma and Joni had a lot of fun when they were younger. Maybe Kadence and I will have funny stories too.
Daddy was worried that they were taking too many photos of me.
My first shopping trip, well beside Wal-Mart anyway! As you can see I wasn't too excited!
We went to eat at Chris' restaurant. Grandpa doesn't do spicy foods too well anymore!
I got to eat once we got home and after I was done I was really sleepy...Joni called it the breastmilk coma.

This is me with the Prater's; Chris, Austin, Dylan, and Joni.
