My First Month

My first month of life was a little rough. I try to tell mommy and daddy what's wrong with me, but it all comes out as a cry and they don't know what to do. I love them cause they try, but jeez what's a girl to do. Daddy got to stay home and hang out with me for 3 weeks, he had vacation for the first 2 weeks and worked from home the third. I got to help him work and sleep on his chest while he worked on the laptop, it was really nice. I miss him a lot when he's at work. His first day back I cried for most of the day cause I was so sad.

I didn't do much this month besides eat, sleep, and ...well you know. The big milestone for this month was at 3 weeks when I smiled for the first time. I was laying on my changing pad (my favorite place in the world) and both mommy and daddy were there, so I thought I'd show off and smile. They're suckers for my smile. I can cry as much as I want as long as I flash them a cute smile every once in awhile to make up for it.

On July 23rd my cousin Krystiana (the 'i' is silent) was born and we went to the hospital to see her. Mommy and daddy couldn't believe how much I had grown. Krystiana was the same size as I was when I was born and I was so big next to her. Krystiana and I are going to have so much fun causing trouble, I mean playing together, as we grow up.

Here's a few pictures from the month. Mostly me sleeping, but towards the end of the month I paid a bit more attention to my surroundings...

The best part of this month was all the nice people that came to meet me and gave me presents. I was visited by Tracy, Heidi, and Caden; Grandpa Richardson; Stacie and Steve; GG and Grandpa Grant; Gammy and Pappie; Uncle Travis; Travis and Erin; Eddie and Denny; Kacie; Amber, Hadley, and Garrison; Bob and Judy (neighbors); Mike, Stephanie, Blake, and Sami (neighbors); Bobbie and Brant; Lucetta; and Arlene (farm neighbor).

Then Judy and Cherri threw a baby shower for me with all of the Stockman family. Kelly, Kayla, and Kyle flew here from San Francisco to come to the shower and play with me. I was good as always and let everyone hold me, even Kraig! After all the excitement my tummy got a little worked up and I messed 4 diapers in a row, wet on the changing pad, and messed on my cute dress - keeping both mommy and daddy busy. Everyone thought it was very entertaining.
