My 1st Christmas

Playing with my new toys on Christmas!

Hi everyone, well we had a great time out in Colorado Springs over Thanksgiving. We did some hiking, sightseeing, skiing (just mom, auntie sheryle, and uncle tim), and had a great Thanksgiving dinner! Can't wait to go back there some day when I'm a little older! I had a great 1st Christmas this year also. We did lots of traveling between mom's family and dad's family but it was a lot of fun! A couple of new things with me, I got my 1st tooth in Colorado over thanksgiving and I got my 2nd one 2 weeks later. They are both my bottom teeth. I am also sitting up by myself now and I'm almost ready to crawl. I just havn't quite figured it out yet. At my 6month doctor visit I weighed 20 lbs 14 oz and was 28 in long. Well I will try not to wait as long next time to update you all. Thank you to my Grandmas, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends for all of the wonderful Christmas presents! See you all soon!

Happy Fall!

Go Bears!

Happy Halloween

No more green beans!

Well, I'm almost 5 mo old now. A lot has changed since my last update. At my 4 mo check up I weighed 17lb 7oz and was 26 in. long. I am now eating solid foods. ( I don't like green beans too much though, as you can see). I am also teething right now. That means lots of drooling and trying to eat everything I can get my hands on. Oh, and it also means I'm a little bit crabbier these days :) But you can't help but love me. I love interacting with people and I always have a smile for anyone I come in contact with. Next week I'll be off on my next adventure to Colorado to visit Auntie Sheryle for Thanksgiving. Pray that we have a safe flight and that Mommy doesn't get hurt trying to ski (daddy doesn't like skiing so we'll be hanging out in the ski lodge trying to pick up the ladies). Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. I will update again when we get back from our trip!

3 months old! Go Bears!

Well, I'm 3 months old now and still growing so fast. I'm starting to be a little tickleish and I love to smile and talk with everyone. I can also sit up pretty good (with some support). Things have been going good since dad went back to work. I go to a sitter 1-2 days a week now. Mom drops me off in the morning and dad picks me up. I had lots of fun visiting everyone at the Labor Day picnic, and playing with all of my family and friends. I also got to meet my Auntie Sheryle for the first time when she came in from Colorado to see me. It was a blast. I can't wait to see you all again soon. GO BEARS!!!

Well, things have been going pretty good since mommy went back to work. We've all adjusted pretty well although I know mommy wishes she could still stay home with me. Daddy has been taking good care of me though. I am still growing like crazy. I don't fit into any of my newborn clothes anymore. I have started smiling alot more and I love talking to people. I get my first shots this week at my 2 month check up. Please pray that it doesn't hurt too bad!

Vacation Time

2007-07-27T06:24:00.000-07:00

4 generations @ Lake Worth Beach

Well we just returned home from my first vacation to Florida visiting Great Grandma Beranek. We had a great time going to the pool everyday (although I couldn't go in cause it was too hot in the sun) and I had my first dip in the ocean. It was great getting to meet Great Grandma and spending time with Grandma and Grandpa Milton. I also went on my first airplane ride and did awesome. I didn't cry once! I can't wait to go again and maybe next time we can go visit Grandma LaMore's house. I am getting so big now. I am talking alot now and starting to grow out of my newborn clothes. My mommy has to go back to work soon though and I'm going to miss her (I know she will miss me too) but I know daddy is going to take good care of me! Well I will update soon and let you all now how the transition with mommy back to work is going!

1 Month Old!

2007-07-15T06:45:00.001-07:00

Well, it has been one month since I've entered into the world. It has flown by so quickly! I am weighing in at 11 pounds. I gained almost 2 1/2 pounds in 3 weeks! I am fed really well. I am really excited, because tomorrow morning I get to go see great grandma in West Palm Beach. She is excited to see me too. Grandma and Grandpa are already down there, it is going to be a blast. I plan on sleeping the whole flight and not crying once! :-) I got fed by bottle the first time yesterday, just to prepare me for when mom has to go back to work. Well, I will talk to you all again once we get back from Florida.

Hi everyone, well here is a little update on what's been going on with me. Things have been pretty busy lately. I had my first doctor's appt at 1 week old. The doctor said I was doing great. I gained 3oz, weighing in at 8lbs 11oz. I had my first real bath (my umbilical cord fell off after only a week and a half) which I loved. I've been staying awake alot more so mommy's not able to get in those naps anymore. We've had lots of visitors which I love, and we've been getting out of the house a little bit more. I went to my first wedding on Friday night (Congrats Heather and Zak). Here is a pic of me in my little stud outfit that I wore. I also saw my first fireworks on Saturday night while visiting mommy's family. I feel like I've done so much already and I'm only 17 days old. Time is flying by. Well, I will try and update again soon. Thank you to everyone who has been visiting me and checking up on me.

Best Friends

2007-06-22T08:01:00.000-07:00

Here's a picture of me and our dog Charlie. I know that we are going to be best friends when I get older. He already loves to give me kisses and is always checking up on me to see what I'm up too. He was a little bit stressed when I first came home, he didn't know what to think of all of the new sounds (crying), but now he seems a lot more relaxed and I can't wait to be able to play with him someday.

Welcome to my website

Hi everyone. Welcome to my website. My mom and dad set this up for me so that they can post pictures and keep everyone updated on how I am doing. So far I am doing great. Tomorrow I will be one week old. Mom thinks that I'm growing up too fast already. I don't do much yet. I just love to eat, sleep, and be cuddled. That's all for now. I hope you all come back every now and then to check out my web page and see how I'm doing.
