Tomorrow I will be a week old. Man, time flies. I have met some really cool people over the past days and some that I was really excited to meet didn't make it. Nana and Paw-paw were here when I came out. They were wonderful. They helped mom and dad stay calm during my delivery and made sure that we didn't have to go through this experience without family support. I can't wait to spend the summer closer to them, they are really nice and sure know how to make a baby feel special.
Grandma Rose and Grandpa Jim came in the night after Nana and Paw-paw left. They were busy! They built a deck on the back of the house so that I can enjoy the backyard and even helped to decorate the back porch so that we could rig it up with music, t.v. and lights. Dad says, "the bar is open" but we'll probably have to wait until we get back in the fall to thoroughly enjoy it...especially for Wolfpack football!! Mom and dad have barely been inside since, and I even got a little tan!
NanaKat, aunt Margie and my Grandpa were on there way yesterday but had to turn around because Grandpa had an infection that could have made me sick. I really wanted to meet him. His mommy (my great-grandma) told me yesterday that he was the same length as I was when he was born...21 1/2 inches. Now he is 6 foot 6 inches! If I inherit that height, I might be able to play ball for the Pack in some capacity...baseball, basketball, football, whatever. Mom and dad also say that they think I have a dimple in my right cheek, maybe both cheeks but they really won't know for sure until I decide to start smiling more. If so, I got that from grandpa too, he is the only family member with dimples! I guess I will have to wait a few weeks to meet dad's dad, and then I hope I can meet my dad's dad's dad soon too!
Dad has taken me throughout the neighborhood in my stroller and really like it. It seems like a wonderful place for kids with the child friendly restaurants and parks galore. I look forward to doing more exploring soon. Mom and dad want me to spend a lot of time outside and this seems like a great place to do it. I think I'll go out on my new deck right now and listen to the birds...I'll post again soon!
