I don’t have pictures yet, but my cousin (technically first cousin once removed) David Michael was born on January 29, weighing 9 pounds, 14 ounces and measuring 21 inches long. Congratulations to mom Margaret, dad John, sister Sofia & brother Sean!! We can’t wait to meet little, er, big David Michael!

Now that I’m 6 weeks old, Mom & Dad decided I could try sleeping in my own room. I like being in my crib! It’s much roomier than the bassinet and I LOVE the toy that Chloe and Nathan got me. I get to see myself in the mirror and it plays fun music.

Aunt Bethany and Uncle Mike came to visit me from Maryland. I hope they had fun despite the fact that I did nothing but eat through the whole visit!

I went to the doctor for my 1 month check-up and I now weigh 9 pounds 10 ounces and am 22 3/4 inches long!

James came all the way from Germany to see me!

I rang in the New Year with my good friend Marla. Mom and Dad got to hang out with their friends Chloe & Nathan and we all had a great time!

The day after Christmas Mom and Dad took me for my first walk around the pond near Great Grandma’s house. But I like being held better than riding in the stroller!
