Not to brag or anything....

..but I am amaaaazing! I have officially been here 6 weeks. And wowee it has been exciting (sarcasm intended). I pretty much hang out with Mom, eat, sleep, cry. Sometimes we go to Target- well a lot of times we go to Target, also Trader Joes and to Gramma and Grampa's house to do laundry. So far so good. I was 9lbs and 4 oz at the Dr's visit last week and 22 1/2" long. I am long and lean- I really do have quite a svelte figure if I do say so myself. I am learning to smile sometimes, but only for a real treat, mostly I furrow my brow and stick out my bottom lip. Oh, one thing I am really hating is this whole changing the diaper thing.. What's up with that??? Hello, cold and uncomfortable over here! I am thinking they would get the point because I really scream as loud as I possibly can when they do that to me, but alas, they continue. So I thought I would let you all in to see how I am growing and developing in to the wonderful young man that you hoped I would; So here are some photos of me. Enjoy!

Peace and Love,

SJ

1 Samuel 1:20 So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the LORD for him." I never realized how lacking many words in the English language are- Pain, Tired, Love are no where near defining our feelings in the last few days. So they say a picture is worth a thousand...

My Growth Chart

WELCOME!

Well I am seriously tired and hungry these days, and Mom is getting there too. C'mon folks I have been multiplying my size by amounts you wouldn't even comprehend for the last 220 some odd days. it's true! I'll prove it- look...

First I am only 6 weeks old- six weeks people!

technically that means I have only been at this thing for 4 weeks, those Dr's calculate things weird.

This set is only two weeks later! Check out that physique-

The Dr. Said I looked like the man in the moon.

Now here is where I show off my real growth prowess. Twenty weeks- I have hands, fingers and my little ding -a-ling. Dad saw it for sure. I look like a person not a blob- yeah!

This one is a little more creepy. I am so huge you can barely tell what you are looking at right? Dad thinks I am looking right at the camera thingy with my mouth on the left and then that circle is my eye socket! Mom has no clue- maybe its her kidney.

And NOW check out my mom- and you thought I got big...

Pow! I just kicked out that belly to make a little room and I got a lot of room. I am getting a little cramped now, but I just push all these other things around, like bladder, lungs and stomach and then I have some more space! It's great in here- I am never leaving.
