Hooray! May is here! I have a good feeling about May, this month I plan to rollover many times, sleep through the night, get a tooth, laugh my head off and turn four months old. Mommy and Daddy have their birthdays in May too! Mommy also had her first Mother's day- So Exciting! So here is the first item checked off my list- laughing. Mommy is seriously so funny, I think she has learned from watching Ellen on TV everyday.

Remember that conspicuous hippo? Well I taught him a thing or two!

tres mesas!

For those of you unilingualists that means three months- which means me! Wowee- Mom was quite sure she would never make it three days let alone three months, but we did. Here is the proof----

This is me holding up my head-please don't look at my bum.

This is my serious face

This is my funny face

This is me cheering for Daddy playing wii soccer, or was it golf... or guitar heros... maybe it was boxing?

Me and Uncle Paul

Hello world!!!

I have been trying to show the world that I am a genius for two months now and finally Mom and Dad got me on camera. So here's the proof. I am sure there will be many more such examples in my life.

Just me...

Here are some of my early hobbies. I am slightly limited so please don't judge. I am sure more usefull skills will soon develop...

Here I am practicing my opera.

Here I am staring at the lamp- a favorite activity because, "hey isn't there always a lamp around"? you can do this one anywhere.

This is me blowing bubbles; still developing this talent to see where it will take me.

I was just sitting there enjoying the nearby lamp when I spotted this hippo character... and I figured I better keep an eye on him. We don't want a wild hippo running around the house.

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...
