Can you believe it, I'm one month old already. I'm growing and changing every day. This week I have been smiling more (although I don't let Mommy and Daddy get good pictures of it yet) I have also been cooing too. I love my swing and love to look at my animal friends above the swing. I have also started to try to hit the toys in my bouncette. So much fun.
Mommy says that she is going to update more pictures either today or tomorrow. She has to get them from the camera to the computer and then on the website.
This weekend I got to have lunch with my Uncle Paul, then I got to go shopping with Uncle Paul, Mommy, Daddy, Bubbie, and Mrs. Karen. We had lots of fun. Bubbie bought me some new clothes because it is getting colder outside. It is finally feeling like fall outside.
Today is my first Halloween, but I'm still too little for trick or treating. I am still going to dress-up for the trick or treaters that come visit the house. Daddy has to work tonight, so Pop-Pop is coming to help me hand out the candy. Well since it is going to be a busy night tonight, I'd better take a nap.
Love always,
Gideon

3 weeks old
I'm 3 weeks old now. Mommy can't believe how fast I am growing up and changing every day. This week was Daddy's first full week back to work. I stayed home with Mommy and Holly during the day, and then Daddy would spend some special time with me at night.
Mommy's friend Corey came to visit me this week. The grown-ups ate dinner together and talked. I like having visitors.
I am already awake more during the day. I like to look around and watch lights. Mommy makes sure I have tummy time and have started playing with my cool gyms this week. I also have started to watch my toys on my swing.
Mommy and Daddy took me to the bone doctor last week. He was very nice, and he gave me exercises that Mommy and Daddy help me with to stretch my feet. I go back to see him in 3 weeks so that he can see my progress. They are going to do an ultrasound of my hips because Mommy was born with hip problems. The doctor will also see if I need them to take pictures of the bones in my feet.
This weekend I got to meet my Uncle Mike, Aunt Cindy, and cousins Susie and Michael. Michael and I are going to have so much fun together when I get a little bit older. We are going to play with stuff like Spiderman, trains, and the Incredibles, not like the princess stuff that our girl cousins like.
I also got to meet Mrs. Karen on Saturday. She was one of Mommy and Daddy's teachers when they were in school, and she is friends with Bubbie and Pop-pop as well. She brought Bubbie over, then she had to go home because she was tired. I will get to see her more soon. Then on Sunday Pop-pop came over to visit. I liked spending the day with Bubbie and Pop-pop.
I think I'm going to go hang out in my swing while I wait for Daddy to get home from work.
Love always,
Gideon

2 weeks!
Can you believe that I am already over 2 weeks old? Wow, I have been having so much fun outside of Mommy's tummy. There is so much more room for me to grow and play. I like being home much better than being in the hospital. At the hospital they kept doing things like checking my temperature and weighing me and all kinds of silly stuff. I had my first doctors appointment on Oct. 4th, 2 days after being out of the hospital. The day I left the hospital I weighed 7 lbs, 7 oz. The day of my doctors appointment I weighed 7 lbs 3 oz. The doctor wasn't really worried too much. Mommy and Daddy told them that I was fussy the day before and was having trouble eating, so the doctor wanted me to come back on Oct. 6th. He said that he really wanted to see me gain 2 oz, but would be ok if it was only 1 oz. Well I made sure to show them I could do it and I gained 9 oz and was 7 lbs 12 oz. I was over my discharge weight. So they were very happy. I didn't need to see the doctor and don't have to go back until I am 1 month old. Oct. 4th Mommy went to the doctor too, they took out her staples. She has been feeling very good. I have been doing just what my doctor told me to do eat, sleep, and poop. Guess how many diapers I have made Mommy and Daddy change since they got me home from the hospital, over 160! I'm making sure that they are getting really good at it fast. I have also made sure that Mommy's washing machine is getting a good work out and that she can test all kinds of stain removers. I have made sure Mommy really feels like a Mommy too. I have peed on her (a couple of times), pooped on her, and spit up on her. I have also peed on Daddy and hit Holly one day, not to mention myself.
My first two weeks Daddy was able to stay home with Mommy and I. I really liked it. He is now back at work, but I am very happy when he comes home. I also talk to him on the phone at lunch time.
I have been able to meet all kinds of people. I have met my Bubbie, Pop-Pop, Uncle Paul, Grandma, and Pop. I have already been out to resturants, been to the outlets, been to the mall, go to Target, and the library.
This past weekend I got to go to a naming ceremony for my friend Mason. Our Mommies work together and we will be in daycare together. The ceremony was very nice. He was born 2 days before me, isn't that really neat.
Then on Sunday I got to meet my friend Josiah. His Mommy and Daddy brought him over, and guess what the two of us did, we just slept. Our Mommies thought it was funny.
Well it's about time for me to go hang out in my swing and take a nap. After all my diaper is clean and my belly is full:)
Love always,
Gideon
PS Mommy will update pictures soon.

I'm finally here
I'm here. I came out of Mommy's tummy on Sunday, September 30, 2007 at 4:36am. I weighed 8 lbs 2.5 oz., and was 21.5 inches long. We got home yesterday afternoon. Mommy will post pictures later today, and try to post more details for everyone as well.
Love always,
Gideon
PS I really got everyone, no one won my poll, I didn't even put the week of the 30th as a choice, he-he.
