Well, as you can see, Mom and Grammy are having too much fun with me.

After I got a bath on Tuesday night, they decided to get me all done up with the Marine Corps gear that Auntie Kelsey sent me before I was even born! It’s been a little big on me, because I wasn’t sooo big when I was born, but boy, I’m getting to be big now!

So…here are the photos…

Mom is very happy with me, I’ve been such the sleeper lately! I will usually go to bed around 10 or 11pm and sleep until 4:30am, but last night, I slept from 8pm to 4:30am! I ate my biggest meal after that long stretch, too - a whole 5 ounces!!! A photo after I ate this morning, before having to get back to sleep, watching the bunny…

It would be nice to see that people actually know me, and that they would leave more messages on my website!!!

More later…Jacob.

Actually, both Grammy Joan and Grampa David got here on Friday evening! They stayed the weekend, and Grampa David left yesterday to work in Atlanta. I didn’t think I would see Grammy back so soon, but since Grampa got sent to Atlanta for work, we got to see her, and keep her in Chattanooga for the week, AGAIN!!!

We had dinner at Grandpa Bill and Grandma Fleeta’s boat on Saturday night, along with Uncle Andy, Aunt Regina and my cousin Lauren. Mom would have a picture, but her camera wouldn’t quite get it together to get that picture, but here is a picture of me hanging out on the bed while Mom was pumping out another meal for me…

Not much is planned for the week, but hopefully Mom and Grammy will take me on some walks…Oh, I guess I do have to get my Synagis shot on Wednesday, bummer!

All for now - Jacob.

 Monday, my Auntie Karissa and Uncle Jason came to visit. AND, before they arrived, I got to drop off my apnea monitor! Can I tell you how much I love NOT having electrodes on my chest. And, Mom loves to not have to carry that thing around - and, she can take me around the house with her with ease now!

We went to Sticky Fingers with Auntie Karissa and Uncle Jason after they got here, and then we got a nap at home before going out to the Mall. Mom, Auntie and I went to the mall while Uncle Jason and Dad went golfing. We didn’t get too many things, but here’s one outfit I had to get for my trip to Minnesota this summer.

Tuesday, we spent the morning at home, then we went to lunch at Miller Plaza. Tuesday evening, we had dinner at Grandma Fleeta’s and Grandpa Bill’s house. It was a nice night. I got to take a nap on Tuesday morning with Uncle Jason.

Wednesday, we went to lunch at Jason’s Deli, then we went to McKay’s. That night, we went to Provino’s for dinner before Uncle Jason and Auntie Karissa went home on Thursday morning. It was a busy week, but fun!

Tuesday, I got my two month shots…and found out that I am up to 8 pounds and 4 ounces! Dr. DeFranco asked if I spit up a lot - Mom said, “His weight would tell us that he likes to keep his milk.” I did not particularily care for the shots, but I did not do too badly with them. I slept all day on Wednesday to recover.

Today, Mom and I met up with Jennifer & Wyatt and Andrea & Caison at the mall. We were going to spend the afternoon at the walking bridge, but the weather did not cooperate. We were at the mall for about four hours - all of us had to eat when we first got there - at least all the boys were on the same schedule, for the moms. After we all ate, we walked around the mall for a hour. I got a cute denim hat for the summer. Auntie Karissa would be proud of me for starting on my shopping skills already!

That’s the news for now! Jacob.

Today, we decided to get out of the house for a few visits! I have not left the house since Friday, and Grammy was only gone once for a little while, so we had to get out of here! We got a late start to our day, as Dad came home for lunch, and then we had to take a nappy…we got to Polly’s about 4pm, so she could visit with Grammy before she goes back home. Then, we headed back to the house to meet up with Dad before driving out to Hale’s Bar to see Grandpa Bill and Grandma Fleeta’s house on the water…we then headed to Grandpa & Gramma’s house to have dinner.

Also, we stopped by Apria to get me some more electrodes (or trodes as my Grammy calls them). I set up an appointment to get a download on the 19th, and if everything looks good, I will get rid of the “tether” that I have had since I got out of the hospital. It will feel so good to not have some trodes on my chest!

Well, I don’t know what I am going to do when Grammy Joan leaves…I am sure she will be back. She says that life exists outside of my house, but I don’t think too much goes on away from here…just that Grampa David has to share Grammy with me now!

I’ll post some pictures of our visit to the boat soon! Jacob.

Friday, we did go to meet Dad for lunch at Anziano’s, then we stopped by the hospital to see Nurse Cathy. She happened to be going to the pharmacy when we got there, so we were lucky to have run into her in the hallway outside of the elevator. Of course, I slept the whole visit at the hospital, but I was tired!

Saturday, I spent the day with Grammy Joan, as Mom and Dad helped to move June. She is my mom’s coworker, but she is leaving the clinic this coming Friday…Mom is going to miss her very much at work, but we’ll keep in touch! After they got done, we had dinner at the house - and June came over, too! It was her first visit! We are sorry we did not get any pictures, but we will when she returns for next visit. Oh…and by the way, June, I had LOTS of poopy all over, so I had to take a bath after you left for the evening!

Well, supposedly my Auntie Karissa is supposed to be coming to visit me this month…with Uncle Jason. She said she might be coming on the 19th. I’ll keep you updated…she told me that I better get ready for her visit. Grammy Joan told me that I should tell her that since Grammy Joan is here, I’m over getting ready for her visit!

Here’s a few pictures…and you’ll have to look at the gallery to get the rest…just for Auntie Karissa.

Well, I have spent most of today awake! I was up at 2:30 to eat, and then stayed up till 4:30 or so…then, up again at 6 to eat…and did not go back to sleep really, and ate again at 8:30…spending the rest of the morning with Grammy Joan.

I also had my first big poopy that ended up outside of the diaper…I’m sure there will be plenty more of them to come.

Tomorrow, Mom, Grammy and I are going to stop by the hospital, because we know that Nurse Cathy is going to be working…we’ll post some pictures tomorrow after that visit and outing.

More tomorrow…Jacob.
