Month 2 - 4th of July Weekend

Happy 4th of July! It was my first 4th of July and we had a BIG weekend! We started out the weekend with Daddy coming home early so Momma and he could go workout. They took me to go see my girlfriend Chelsea. She takes good care of me when Momma goes to work out. She holds me the entire time, even though her boss says she can't. She will even feed me my bottle if Momma brings one for me. She has learned not to put me in my car seat though because I will cry and she feels bad, so she lets Momma or Daddy do that!
We woke up on the 4th and had breakfast on the patio. It was a perfect morning. I sat in my bumbo as Momma made pancakes for her and Daddy, then we all sat outside for a few hours enjoying the morning. I enjoyed most of my time outside, but there is a fine line with me between happy and unhappy!

Daddy's friend Sean came over to meet me and brought me an outfit and a book. It was so nice that we all sat outside and got some sun for the afternoon. It was a great afternoon - we just kicked back and relaxed...something Sean and Daddy don't do often!




We went to Wanakah for dinner and to watch fireworks. Daddy got to show me off to lots of people!


Everyone wanted to hold me and thought I was adorable! Grandy said I was VERY GOOD!



I had to take a little snooze before the fireworks. It was a late night for me! But Auntie Trish came and held me and I fell right asleep in her arms!

When the fireworks started I was a little alarmed and almost jumped out of Mrs Sullivan's arms, but once I saw the bright lights I really enjoyed it! Daddy tried to hold me for a while, but I really just wanted to be in Momma's arms, so we sat together and watched the bright lights. I didn't quite know what to think of all the loud noises, but Momma kept me safe...and warm!

On Sat, the 5th of July, we found out that my new friend Bubba Occhino - now Kaleb John Occhino was born - what a great day! Daddy and Momma took me to the YMCA again to see my girlfriend Chelsea. For the afternoon, Big Sis Bars came over and went with us to Grandpa and Grandy Becker's pool.
It was a gorgeous afternoon and Daddy and Momma let me get in the pool for the very first time! The pool was much better than my bath and I didn't cry at all!
That night we went to our new neighbors house for a BBQ. I was tired and a little cranky. They had a Wii and Momma and Daddy played Rock Band, they had a LOT of fun...I think they might be buying me one, even though I can't play yet! I just fell asleep in Momma's arms as she sang and Daddy played the drums.
On Sunday, Daddy took me to the YMCA to see my girlfriend Chelsea again while Momma stayed home to clean. She says she can't get anything done around the house with me around! When we got back we went to go see Bubba O. I was asleep at first and then Daddy got us kicked out b/c they said I was too young. Momma said he was really cute and Daddy said I looked like a "bruiser" compared to him. He weighed in at 8 lbs and 20 inches long. I was just a little bit bigger than he was. Momma said that she wondered if they would take me back, but I don't think she meant it! I can't wait for Bubba O to catch up to me so we can play. After the hospital, we went to the grocery store, then back home again. Sean and Auntie Lindsey came over for a cook out. Auntie Lindsey fed me a bottle and said that I was getting so cute. I thought she was cute and kept holding onto her finger very tight. She is so pretty. They didn't let me stay up very long, they put me to bed early and said I had a long weekend. It was pretty busy and I had a great time.
