This is me with Mom and Dad in front of our Christmas tree. Thanks for decorating it, Aunt Katy! In my family we celebrate Solstice, Hanukah and Christmas. To see photos of the festivities and me meeting all my cool relatives, see my latest Flickr set.

Today I am two weeks old and I did lots of exciting things to celebrate. First, Auntie Jodi brought Mommy a “Mei Tai” wrap to try. Turns out it was pretty nice to sleep in. Then I tried my first cloth diaper—I liked my FuzziBunz—no leaks! Then I hung out with my good friend Clara. After all that I was really happy to see Daddy when he came home from work and even happier when he carried me in the Mei Tai. What a day!

Aren’t I angelic?

Mom and Grandma like to admire me!

I’m not sure yet if I like the bath.

But I sure love my Daddy!

I went back to the doctor today for my one week checkup and I’ve gained nine ounces since Monday! I sure like to drink that milk!

Today I am one-week-old. My umbilical cord stump fell off—now I have a real belly-botton!

Me with Dad and my great Great Grandparents.

Uncle Billy came all the way from Colorado to see me!

I like it when Great Grandma sings to me!

Dad demonstrating the techniques he and Mommy learned at the Happiest Baby on the Block seminar.

I like to lay on the beautiful blanket that my auntie Bethany knit for me.
