Syracuse Shower!

Hi everyone! I just wanted to say thank you so very much to all of our friends and family for a wonderful shower. Mommy seemed to be very excited and I heard lots of fun words like "Yankees," "Bears," "Camoflage," "toys," and I think I got my very first bow and arrow! Daddy said he looks forward to shooting it around the house, but Mommy doesn't think that's a good idea. I want to thank Aunt Julie and Aunt Chelsey for helping to decorate and both Grandmas for pulling it all together!

While we were home, we also ate really well. I could tell Mommy was really excited for real Italian food (twice), fried Haddock, and cake. I personally enjoy when Mommy has a healthy breakfast to kick start my day - bread, candy corn, and a caffenine-free Diet Pepsi and she is always yelling at Daddy for eating potato chips for lunch...hmmm...

Mommy says she'll post some pictures from the Syracuse shower soon. We are all getting ready for my shower in Atlanta this weekend and through next week. Right now, a nice kid is here to do crown molding in my room and Daddy went to get paint for my room this morning. He should know I'm completely worth spending $200 on new paint! (even though I might have heard him complaining...) Besides, I heard Mommy say she didn't care how much it cost, it was what she wanted. Grandma and Grandpa Smith are coming down on Tuesday to help get everything put together as well as bring down all my fun presents from the shower - I can't wait!

Less than 2 months to go!

Is it that hard to pick a middle name?

Over the last few weeks, I have discovered that I can now hear what Mommy and Daddy are talking about from my holding cell here in Mommys tummy. Right now most of the conversation is Daddy talking to himself about how Joba Chamberlain should be a reliever and not a starter, as well as a few words for Joe Girardi that Mommy says he is not allowed to say once I arrive.

However, I have recently picked up on some discussions around picking the best middle name for me. It appears they have settled on Hunter for my first name. If I could talk I would tell them what a great choice that is, but unfortunately, I cannot speak. Well what do you expect, I have not even been born yet. Nonetheless, so far the choices seem to center around Easton (Mommys pick) and Ditka, Butkus, Payton, Cutler, Hester, Cash, Browning, Remington and assorted other names Daddy has thrown out that are quickly shot down by Mommy (thanks Mom). It appears somehow Daddy has slipped Cole into the mix. I have to admit, I do like that one. Anyway, I need to get running, Mommy looks pretty comfortable so I have some moving and kicking to do that will take care of that. Lets hope these two can agree on a name soon, afterall I am scheduled to arrive in two months. You would think two CPAs would have been able to figure out a middle name by now. Geez.
