Today Mommy and I went to Target to get my first professional pictures taken. It really wasn't as bad as it could have been. Since my head isn't really that steady yet, there are a lot of awkward poses, but of course they turned out really cute. I was really good until we had been there for about 30 minutes then I was getting tired of Mommy and the photographer lady trying to get me to smile for them. I then took a nap in Target while we waited for the proofs to be ready and Mommy picked out some really cute shots. They will be here in about a week and an half and finally I'll have some pictures of me up in the house.
Oh by the way since my shots the other day I've been sleeping like a champ at night. I was really crabby the night of my shots and had to take some tylenol but then I fell asleep at my regular 8:30 bedtime after Mommy gave me a nice relaxing bath and slept till 6:45. Mommy couldn't believe it. Then last night Mommy thought I would go back to my regular 8 hours of sleep but instead I slept from 8:30-5:30. Yeah for lots of baby sleep!

Ouchie!
Well today was the day! Shot day at the doctors. I was not aware of what mommy and daddy were taking me there for but was I in for a big shock. Today I had to get five different shots, really it was only 4 needles cause one of the vaccinations was oral. I did fine with the oral shot, but my face turned bright red when the shots started. I screamed the whole time the nurse was giving them to me but was fine when we got in the car. I actually fell right asleep when daddy started driving. I also got some tylenol from Mommy cause she doesn't want me to be sore later today. Hopefully, I don't have any reactions to the vaccines and today goes on like normal.
The doctor said I looked good and growing well. I am 11 pounds exactly (55%) and 22.5 inches long (50%). Mommy realized today that my size one diapers are starting to get a little small so we are going to finish out this pack and move up to the next size. So the doctor was right I am a growing girl.
This past weekend Mommy and I went down to Cincinnati to meet some new friends at Grandma's house. Mommy's friends Trish, Jan and Trisha's daughter Ashleigh came over first. I am so excited because now I have a friend who is around my age and hopefully we will get to play together when I am older. Then Grandma's friend Patty came over and that was fun because Mommy hadn't seen her in awhile (since her wedding). Patty said that I look just like Daddy which is what most people tell us, but Mommy knows that I am half of her because she was there in the delivery room.
This week Mommy and I started to read a book every night. I really like the book because of all the pictures and because it is a kissing book so Mommy gives me lots of kisses.
I would also like to give my condolences to Great Grandma and Grandpa Bilek. Peanut, their chihuahua passed away this week. She was a good dog and will be missed.

One, TWO, buckle my shoe...
Today I am TWO months old and time has really flown by. I can't believe that two months ago, I was still in my mommy's tummy waiting to be born. In that time, I've learned how to smile. I like tummy time. I sleep in my own crib and am sleeping 8 hours a night. I love the bees in my room. I've gone on several car trips and am really good in the car cause it puts me to sleep. I've been nursing like a champ which in turn is saving mommy and daddy lots of money (no formula). And now that's I'm now two months old, I'm no longer in Newborn diapers or Newborn clothes. I love my big girl clothes (size 0-3 months), even though some of them are still big my chubby baby legs are starting to fill them out. I can't wait till my doctor's appointment on Wednesday cause then we will see how big I am. The only I'm not looking forward to is getting my shots, but I know it's for the best cause I don't want to get sick.
New things that I did this week:
When laying on my back I tend to lay there for a couple seconds and then roll over to one side. Mommy thinks I'm really close to rolling over all the way, but my silly arm gets in the way. If it would just move with my body then I would definitely roll over.
I am now just in the past couple days sleeping eight hours a night. I think that Mommy is getting a clue that if she gives me a bath with the Johnson's bedtime bath before I eat that I get really sleeping and am not fussy when she puts me to bed. I try to let Mommy sleep till about 5/5:30 before I get up to eat. Then I go back to sleep till around 8 and then I'm on my 3 hour schedule for the rest of the day. The other morning (around 5:30), I did experience my first earthquake. Mommy thought that Shelly was shaking the futon with her foot but then it didn't stop, but we didn't really know what it was. Then in the morning, Daddy told us that there was an earthquake in Illinois and that made a lot more sense to why the room was shaking.
I also experienced my first trip to the park. We didn't do too much, but Shelly liked it cause we got to take a walk on the bike path. I love my stroller cause it kind of has the same effect as the car, which means I fall asleep.
I'm still sleeping a good amount during the day, but my awake times are getting longer and I am much more alert. The other night Mommy and I read books, sang songs, and she gave me lots of kisses which make me smile a lot for about an hour. I love spending time with Mommy cause she is so silly.

My First Babysitter!
Mommy and Daddy finally got a night out by themselves for the first time in 7.5 weeks. They went to their friends Scott and Andrea's wedding and let me have my first sleepover with Grandma. Mommy only cried a little bit in the morning cause I think she realized that it was the first time she and I were going to be apart for more than an hour, but knew I was going to have a fun time with Grandma. She only called once and it was just because she was on her way from the wedding to the reception. Mommy and Daddy looked really nice all dressed up (Daddy was the bestman)
Mommy was also really excited because she really hasn't been out of the house, let alone in a dress (that by the way fit :)) They had a lot of fun and can't wait to do it again. They should probably start looking for a babysitter closer to home, but I'm sure Grandma wouldn't mind doing it again, cause we had fun too. We talked a lot and ate and slept; sorry I don't do too much yet.
New Things I started doing this week:
I have recently found that my thumb and sometimes my pointer finger are the best thing in the world. Sometimes when I'm supposed to napping mom will hear me in my crib making really loud sucking noises. Yeah, I found it! But when I lose the thumb I get really mad and just want something to suck on so a pacifier will usually suffice.
Also, Mommy noticed that when I suck my thumb I only suck on my left hand. So you know what that means, I'm probably going to be left handed. Mommy is so excited, cause lots of people on her side of the family including her and grandma are left handed. So we'll see if it's just a fluke or if it really does stick.
I'm really starting to like laying in my crib in the afternoons with my bee mobile on. The other day Mommy and I spent about 45 minutes just staring at the bees and we had to make sure that the music kept going, but I really was focused on staring those bees down. I also do the same thing on my activity mat, but there it is the lion. I do a lot of tummy time on my mat and I can't wait till I can hold my body up some more.
There are some new pictures posted as well, so take a look. Next Week...Taking a trip to Cincinnati to meet friends and Further down the road my next doctor's visit (including shots).

Road Trip to Brecksville
Yesterday, I had my first road trip to Brecksville and got to meet a lot more of my family for the first time. Our cousin Lindsey's baby shower was yesterday, so mommy and I got in the car early in the morning and took the boring ride up north. I did really well in the car; sleeping for about half the trip and the rest of the time I looked at the monkey and the elephant that I have on my carseat. They are so funny and make me smile all the time. I could definitely win in a staring contest. My aunts were so excited to see me as they always are and when we got to Grandpa's house, my Great Aunt Sandy came over just for a minute. She's happy that we share the same hair color. :) Then later we went to the party and I got to meet my Great Aunt Diane and my Great Uncle Kenny, (Mom thinks she is funny if she writes Great a lot in front of their names cause then it makes them feel really old), my mom's cousins Sarah, Lindsey and Roy.
The party was fun and I did really good and slept for a long time on Aunt Diane's shoulder and yes, she still has the touch. She is going to be a wonderful grandma.
Great Grandpa also gave me my long awaited L for my room. Mom was so excited and can't wait to put it up in my bedroom.
I also got to make a piece of pottery for my room. We painted my feet and put my footprints on a flower that Lindsey is going to finish for us. She is going to write my name on it and my birthday. It totally matches the decor in my room. The first time kinda got messed up but we found out that a mirror goes in the part we messed up, so it was good that we got to try again.
After the party, mommy and I went back to grandpa's house and hung out for a little while before we left to go home to see what daddy had been up to all day.
All in all it was a good trip and I only cry a little bit when I was hungry, poopy and tired. I can't wait to go back in May when my new cousin is here and I will have someone around who understand why I cry.
Some new things that I have been doing this week:
My swing has a mirror above my head and I love to look at myself. Mom catches me smiling at myself all the time sitting there. She loves it cause she just recently realized that I will sit in it quietly and then put myself to sleep in it, so she can get some stuff done.
During tummy time, I have been picking my head up a lot more lately and I think that scooting/crawling is right around the corner cause for an instant I can hold myself up on my hands. But since I really don't have much muscle tone in my body, it can be very tiring so I go back to digging my head into the blankets.
Just the past week, when the smiling started, I have been more alert and awake for longer periods during the day. This in turn makes it great for mommy because I'm sleeping between 5-7 hours a night in one long stretch. YEAH!
