Welcome!!

Hi there!!  Thanks for checking in!  I am starting this inaugural post with a bit of odds and ends on happenings with me over the past few days.  I am hoping to make this a regular place for grandparents, family, etc. to visit to see all the latest and greatest with me, including pictures and videos!!

So I had a rough day on Thursday, which also coincided with a doctor's visit to get my eyes checked out.  Mommy thought one of my eyes was a bit puffy (although it might have been just from all the wiping I have been subjected to), so wanted to have the doctor take a look.  Everything checked out, although apparently I may be doomed to have goopy eyes for some while longer, until my tear ducts can sort themselves out!  But, I behaved wonderfully at the doctor's office and Dr. Sanford even complimented me on my smile!  After returning home, however, several hours later, I started having crying/screaming fits, even with mommy, which hasn't ever happened before!  (I usually do that only with daddy, and only at night!!)  And I had great trouble falling asleep, and when I did so, I couldn't manage to stay asleep for more than 30-45 minutes, which made me extremely cranky.  Long story short, I screamed and worked myself into an extreme frenzy all evening and night, and only finally at 1:30am did I manage to fall (and stay) asleep, through a lot of coaxing from daddy (mommy had to take a nap because she was so worn out from all my daytime crying).  Needless to say, both mommy and daddy were very tired.

But, I redeemed myself because since falling asleep Friday morning at 1:30am (as per above), I have been sleeping non-stop in 3-6 hour stretches and have been awake for only an hour or so at most!  And as of 2pm on Saturday, this is still what I look like (see left)!!






Mommy tried to take me to take passport photos yesterday afternoon when I was awake and calm for a bit, but that was a FAIL!!  Before we even got to the shop that was only 4 blocks away, this is what I looked like (see right)!!  So mommy and daddy just pushed me through Riverside Park for a nice walk, which I completely slept through, of course.

In any event, mommy and daddy are very much enjoying the break, I imagine.  I am a real genius because I know to butter them up and to build equity for the next time I misbehave!  :)  


Finally, before I go, I will post a video of myself smiling.  I hear that it has been a hit, so I thought it doesn't hurt to continue to build some equity with y'all as well!  Enjoy!
