Looking forward to our trip!

Well, after coming off a very exciting weekend with Aunt Julie visiting, I played the past week pretty low-key. Mommy did some craft project, Daddy helped with the craft project (unwillingly), the Bears lost (again), we got chased by a big mean dog on our walk, Mommy bet Daddy Pacquiao would beat Cotto and then feel asleep for the entire fight even with company over, and I have officially outgrown my newborn diapers! Here are a few pictures of me because, well, I'm cute!

Happy Monday...

Just a few pictures of the past few days and my first time meeting Aunt Julie! We had a very fun weekend going to the outlet mall and the fabric store. I also came down with my first cold, which was not very fun and caused me to cry alot. I also missed the first birthday party I was invited to. There was a bouncy house set up which I missed, but I guess that's ok because I wouldn't have been allowed in the bouncy house anyways. That said, Daddy was taking the news of missing the bouncy house much harder than I would have thought...apparently he was looking forward to blowing out his ACL in it.


Aunt Julie bought me a Forte jersey to watch the Bears games with Daddy. I think Daddy and I look pretty good together. I just wish the Bears would start winning..losing sucks and is perhaps the reason I appear semi-cross eyed in the next picture.

We Are The Champions!!

I want to apologize in advance for the gap in my posting. As I am sure you are all aware, the Yankees recently captured their 27th World Championship. In support of their efforts I had Mommy dress me up in my Yankee gear for Game 6. The manner in which we decided on this outfit was that she would put on an outfit and if it was not what I liked I would pee or poop through it. After 3 outfit changes she finally got the hint and went with the Yankee shirt you see me pictured in above. While it appears I am unhappy in this picture, it is actually tears of joy that you are witnessing. I waited six long weeks for this championship..so all you Cubs fans sitting on over 100 since your last win, believe me, I know how you feel.

This Yankee season was a grueling season of 162 games and then 15 more postseason games. This season had it all folks, tension, moments of fear and doubt, walk offs and even some rare moments of joy. And that was just the impact the season had on Mommy and Daddy's marriage...so you can imagine how much excitement the actual baseball brought to our house!! Anyway, congratulations to the greatest franchise in professional sports...what a great season.....Daddy is still talking about it. In fact, he and his good friend Uncle Todd have already started laying the groundwork for the offseason moves the Yankees should make. Between you and I, lets be thankfull that the Yankees employ people much smarter than those two knuckleheads or else I would have zero chance of seeing championship number 28 in my lifetime.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope everyone had a great night and, most importantly, got lots of candy! I had a very busy day. Mommy and Daddy took me to my first neighborhood parade (which I wouldn't really call walking around the clubhouse a parade because it was raining, but oh well). I was the youngest participant at the parade and by FAR the cutest. :)


Here I am with Mommy getting ready to go to the parade.

Here I am with Daddy. It had been 30 minutes so Daddy was ready to leave.

Parading is hard work!

After the parade, it was time to change my outfit for trick or treating! This year I'm 'daddy's pumpkin,' and I'll be sure to come up with an awesome costume for next year. (I heard daddy say I was going to be a football player.)

Even though it was lightly raining and cold, Mommy insisted I go meet the neighbors and go trick or treating for the first time. You can see from the pictures below I didn't last too long! I mean, I'm only 5 weeks old so I think 4 houses was enough for me!

Here I am with my stash. For only going to 4 houses, I did pretty well! I think Mommy grabbed what she liked, but that's ok, because I'll get to eat it eventually!

Ok, Mommy is alittle crazy with the pictures.


All done! Good night and Happy Halloween!

I'm one month old!

Hi everyone! I have several photos that I wanted to share. We have had quite the busy few 2 weeks! After Uncle Al and Aunt Kristi left, we had more visitors! Grandma Edmunds and Grandpa Edmunds stopped by on their way to Florida, which was followed by Grandma Smith, Aunt Chelsey and Great Aunt Maria! I have had the best time ever meeting all of my family! I also had several firsts including my first trip to the mall, my first trip to Uncle Shucks Pumpkin Farm, my first trip to the outlet mall, and my first trip to church! Daddy was very proud of me because I behaved the entire time!

Here I am sleeping on Grandma Edmunds! Mommy says I'm cute(r) when I'm sleeping! :)

Here I am supporting the Yankees! They are going to the world series and I'm very excited. I love to watch them with my Daddy!

This was my outfit for my inaugural visit to Uncle Shucks Pumpkin Farm! (Well, I actually have been twice in that same day, but that's a whole story for another day!) It was alittle cool, so I won't be sporting this outfit in subsequent pictures, but I had a nice time.

We bought a pumpkin (duh) and Daddy enjoyed a funnel cake. The highlight of the visit was watching Aunt Maria use the porta-potty and meeting the legendary Uncle Shucks! Check me out riding the tractor!

Here is Daddy with his funnel cake. Don't mess with Daddy and his funnel cake.

I might be young, but I'm practicing driving already!

I also met Uncle Paul and Aunt Sara and Uncle Todd, Aunt Suzanne and Holly! Holly shared her blanket with me...don't worry Daddy, I still like footballs better than the pink and purple butterflies!

Finally, here I am just being cute, saying goodbye to Grandma Smith and Great Aunt Maria.

Hello everyone! I'm sorry for not having written lately. I've been alittle busy...my schedule is very hectic and my entire day (and night) are consumed with eating, sleeping and filling my diaper! For anyone that remembers, it's quite exhausting! I thought I'd post a few pictures of me for everyone to see. Oh, on my 2 week birthday, I finally got to see what my belly button looks like...for anyone wondering, I'm blessed with an innie! This past weekend, my Aunt Kristi and Uncle Al came to visit. We had a really good time and ate alot of good food. I don't know what Daddy put in the jumbalya, but let's just say Saturday night was a stinky night in the Smith household. Everyone kept blaming it on me! Not fair!

This is me and Daddy on game day. While I have a cute outfit on, I decided red was not my color and necessitated 2 outfit changes before the Bears game actually came on. They won, so I'm guessing Daddy is going to make me wear the same outfit every weekend just like he does. I think that's a great idea!

Watching football with Daddy is hard work!

Here I am, 1 week old! Mommy says that I sleep like Daddy does...

Sunday Funday

This will be a brief report but I wanted to let everyone know that I appear to be a lucky baby..and not just because of my wonderful mother. No, I am a lucky baby because since I have been born the Yankees swept the Red Sox, SU Football beat Maine and now on a day Daddy calls his holy day but never comes within 10 miles of a church, the Bears beat the Seahawks. That puts Daddy's teams at 5-0 since I have arrived. Daddy was so excited with the wins that he spent the remainder of the night after the Bears win researching offshore bank accounts and pricing out flights to Vegas. Mommy had me in my best gameday outfit today and after the Yankees finished of the Red Sox and the Bears hung on I was wiped out. Tonight is my last night at Piedmont Hopsital as I will be heading home tomorrow. The nurses and doctors here were amazing and they took great care of me. But now it is time to head out and get settled in to my new home with Mommy and Daddy and get ready for next weeks battle with the Lions. Go Bears!
