Happy thanksgiving!

Today was my first Thanksgiving. I met all of my (huge) eemama's family including my 5 second cousins. They are the first people who look like me (and not like mommy and daddy). I spent all day fascinated by all the faces. so many new people to see. mommy's milk was yummy (tastes like turkey!) now i am home and sleepy. *yawn*

my first road trip!

Today I went to philadelphia. mommy wouldn't let me drive, but it was still fun! I made them pull over at the holland tunnel entrance and then ate for an hour. mommy didn't seem very happy about that. now we are in a hotel and philadelphia is so cool!!!

tomorrow daddy and i are going to be bachelors and enjoy the city while mommy takes her test.

i wonder what a philly cheese steak tastes like....

that was unexpected

today i went to the doctor for my 2 month visit. 

I'm a superstar!! today i weigh 12 lbs 10 oz and am 22 and 1/4 inches long with a head circumference of 39 1/2 cm-- that's 75th percentile for length and weight and 50th for head circumference! she also marvelled at how advanced I am-- i can laugh! I can also track past the midline, smile, and hold my head 45 degrees- but i've been doing that for a long time. 

shots are NOT fun! i cried and cried and cried. mommy tried to make me feel better by letting me eat but i wasn't calmed by her delicious milk. I think I might have scared her by turning a really bright shade of purple. well, at least i got two bandaids. 

Mommy gave me tylenol and that made me sleepy. *yawn* good night. 

i'm 8 weeks old!

Yesterday I turned 8 weeks. mommy and daddy were so proud of me! especially because I have outgrown all of my 0-3 month onesies! My head control is awesome too.

this week i am going to the doctor! yay! Mommy says i'm getting shots but i don't know what that means. it sounds fun!

Obama Won

Mommy and Daddy were rooting for him real hard. They keep saying how lucky I am to be growing up in a world that can elect a black president, that they and I will always remember where they were when this happened. I guess it's important to them, and so, it'll have to be to me too.

I'm an Obama baby now!

Yes we can:-)

rock the vote!

wow! what a weekend! mommy had her first residency interview yesterday so daddy and i had a bachelor day. it was fun. then mommy came home and i cried. I cried every time she tried to hold me. it was awesome.

but the most fun was today- today mommy and I voted for the first time! I was really fussy and screamed a lot. mommy looked sad but i was happy when she took me out of the stroller and held me. Now we're getting ready for an election party-- it should be fun!

laughing is fun!

Today I laughed. It was a really weird sensation but mommy and daddy were really proud of me! I got a little freaked out-- i had no idea that i could combine my face muscles and voice like that. it was a little scary.
