So many firsts and 3 weeks old today.

Today I am 3 weeks old. Now that I've grown more, I got to experience some new things today and yesterday. Yesterday I got the joy of having the dreaded blue weird thing stuck up my nose and tried to suck my little brains out. I didn't like that thing and I told Mommy about it. Today, I learned what a bottle is. I was kinda scared of it at first and didn't really know what to do with it, but then I laid on the pillow the way I lay when Mommy is feeding me and thought I'd give it a try, and I did really good with it. Then Mommy went to the store and left me with Daddy so us guys could have some hangout time. So Daddy fed me like 3 oz and took care of me while Mommy was gone. I think Mommy was glad to get back home though to her lil man... (that's what she calls me). Friday is Halloween and we will be going to see my Mimi. I know she will be taking more pictures then.

The grinch did WHAT with Christmas????

Today me, Mama, and Mimi went to babiesRus and Wal-mart. I did pretty good until Mimi and Mama decided they were going to use me as a guinny pig to try out all the baby slings... it was a really nice day though, and Mimi would just laugh and laugh at some of the faces I made. I can tell she misses me when she doesn't see me for a few days. I'm getting to where I'm staying up a little longer at times and as you can tell in my picture, I can get some really wide eyes going on. Mama bought me a new bath today and I'll get to try it out tonight. Daddy had to work today so I didn't get to see him very much, but as soon as he walks in the door, it's all about ME... :)

2 weeks old today

Wow... that first 2 week went by quick!... So yesterday was exciting. I lost my unbellical cord... YAY! Free from the dark blue hard thing sticking out of my belly! I also have decided that I like my swing very much. I enjoy my bouncy seat somewhat, but the swing is way cooler. I'm doing much better on nursing too. Right now I wake up around 3 times a night and usually one of those times I decide I want to stay awake for a couple hours. This night and day stuff is gonna take some getting used to...

Ooooooo so this is Mimi's house

Today Mommy took me over to Mimi's house. I was kinda cranky though. I think it was because it was my first trip somewhere for a while and I was just kinda out of my element. There was some fun times though and I enjoyed looking around and having Mommy and Mimi sing me silly songs they were making up. I'm home now and Mommy hopes since I stayed up so much today that I will sleep better tonight. We will see about that. Just a little extra note: this was my due date. :) Mommy sure is glad I got here a little earlier than that.

To the doctor I go

Well... I went to the Dr. yesterday. He is a very nice guy but he had to do a little work on my gender which made me cry. It broke mommy's heart, but I'm ok, and by the Dr. doing that, it will help me not to have more work on it later, which could really hurt. I found out that the nurses was off a little bit on my measurement the day I was born. I'm 19 and 3/4" now. They probably got it wrong because my head was a little coned out at time of measurement. The doctor said I'm at 6 lbs. 13 oz. I have gained back to my birth weight fast which pleased him. The doctor prayed for me at the Dr.s office :). That made me and mommy feel really good. My next Dr. appointment is in November. I'm wondering how much I will change between now and then. My Mimi might see me this weekend which means MORE PICTURES... yay! I'm a week and 2 days old today.

Here we go

This is a story about me... My name is Jayven and I'm starting my life now. I was born October 8th, 2008 at 5:13 PM. I weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20" long. I was born at Tulsa Oklahoma and my parents Codie and Joshua love me VERY much. My Mimi will be monitoring my blogspot and updating it frequently as events happen. I'm so excited to be here. Thank you Jesus for my family and for allowing me to be born in the states where I am free to learn about you and all the wonderful things you have done.... this is where my journey begins :)
