My First Week

1 Week: October 16, 2009

Mommy and Daddy say I'm a good baby because I'm happy most of the time. I've been eating every 3-4 hours depending on whether it's daytime or nighttime. I sleep really well and only wake up if my paci falls out while I'm trying to fall asleep. I usually spit it out once I hit the Dreamland. I'm going through 3-6 changes of clothes a day which is a lot of laundry! Nana was in charge of it, but now that she isn't staying with us anymore, it's all up to Mommy and daddy ;) I've had 2 sponge baths so far. I think I'm going to like taking baths! Daddy says he doesn't need the "temperature duck" to tell him when the water is too hot. He knows exactly how warm I like it (Mommy always checks before she puts me in though)! I got to meet my pet dogs (Kloey, Fiona and Kameron). They seem interested in me, but I'm not sure what to do with them. They aren't allowed to get too close to me right now. Mommy says maybe once I get a little older. I got to go on my first stroll outside in my stroller one day to get the mail. Also, Nana brought over her swing for me. It plays music and I just love it! My house gets really clean when I swing in my swing :) Mommy and Daddy have been reading books to me and doing exersizes with my arms and legs. They also let me hold and pull on these rings that hang from my carrier. I think I'm pretty strong because I can hang on for a long time! This is a big world, but I think I'm going to like it! With so many people who love me, I am going to be one happy girl :)

My Nana

My Nana has been staying with us since we came home from the hospital. She has helped Mommy and Daddy take care of me and transition into parenthood. I love being with her and getting to know my Nana. She likes to walk me around the house and look out the windows. She also reads to me and helps build my motor skills by doing excersizes with my arms and legs. I'm learning a lot with my Nana. I'm happy that I'll be staying with her when Mommy and Daddy have to go back to work. I know my Nana loves me because she always gives me kisses and wants to hold me. I love my Nana!

Doctor visit

I went to my first doctor's visit yesterday (Oct. 13). I took a good nap before we went. I guess I knew it was going to be a long day. When we got there they undressed me for most of the time while Dr. Valicek looked me over and I got really cold. I don't like being cold so I got really fussy but Daddy held my hand and talked to me while Mommy filled out lots of paperwork. When they pricked my foot to check for Jaundice, I got really upset so Mommy rubbed my back while Daddy held my hand which really calmed me down. I was worn out after the doctor visit so I came home and took another nap.

Bath Time!

I had my first little sponge bath before going to the doctor yesterday (Oct. 13). It was cold so I cried most of the time, but Daddy held my hand and gave me kisses to calm me down. The end was my favorite part when Mommy wrapped me in my towel.

I am here!

My name is Landyn Juliet. I made my appearance into the world on October 9, 2009 at 2:34 in the morning! I weighed 9 lbs. 2 oz. We stayed in the hospital for 2 days and then I got to go to my home and begin my lovely life!

My Mommy and daddy are so proud of me and think I am the most beautiful thing they have ever seen. My Nana has been staying with us and helping Mommy and Daddy get used to being new parents. Life is great for me! I love to sleep, eat and look around. I'm starting to focus on things and people. Someone reads to me every day. I also have a lot of visitors come by each day who love to hold me!

My Mommy started a blog so that all of my friends and family can keep up with me on a regular basis.

I know my Mommy and daddy love me a lot because they are always kissing me and holding me and telling me how much they love me! They call me their "miracle" and all kinds of other names that make me feel special :)
