Meeting my namesakes (the last name that is)

Grammy Rivera stayed for the entire week. Of course she brought lots of food for Mom and Dad. Too bad they don't sell breast milk at Costco because God knows Grammy would have hooked that up! Papi joined us later in the week and he brought some beautiful outfits from my great grandmother in Florida. Thanks Mama Gloria! Here is your silly son John (my grandfather) talking Spanish to me. Doesn't he know I can understand him just fine without the baby acento? It must run in the family because Dad does the same stuff.

Holla at Me!

Wow, I just got into this world and already I've met my Grandma Crabtree, Grammy Rivera, Papi Rivera, Uncle Rich and lots of Mom and Dad's friends and neighbors. Doesn't anyone know all I care about right now is breast milk. Daddy who? It's all about mom and the 3:00AM feedings...now that's what I'm talking about!

I decided to come a little early since it was getting a bit too snug in there for me. I usually sleep with my arms up by my head...little did I know this would be such a problem come delivery time. Guess a head and two arms don't make for an easy delivery...sorry for the scar Mom:) But some habits die hard and I still like to stick my hands up by my head when I sleep.

Grandma Crabtree and Brooke where the first visitors to be at the Hospital. I was still nice and slimy so I'm sure I scared Brooke, but she managed to look happy holding me in this picture. Grammy and Papi arrived the next day.

For the rest of the week I got to hang out in my new crib, literally, while Mom recovered and Grandma Crabtree spoiled me rotten!

Later in the week I also got to meet my uncle Richie. He was so worried about breaking me....glad he seems to have forgiven Dad for the multiple stitches and fractures he suffered as the result of being a younger brother:) I also got to meet Kevin, Erik and Lynn who all had flown in for my Dad's surprise 30th (which mom had to cancel since I busted my why out of that stupid embryonic sac 2 weeks early).

I was sad to see my Grandma Crabtree go, but I'll see her again in a few weeks! Love you Grandma.

My first blog

Hola! Thanks for checking out my blog! After joining my Mom and Dad on Sept 7, 2007, I thought it would be a great idea to share all of my new experiences with all of you. Actually, my buddy Lucinda next door has a blog too so I'm ripping the idea off her...hey I'm only 3 weeks old so you can't expect me to be too original yet!
