Fancy!

Mommy and Daddy got all dressed up to attend a formal dinner and the Cotillion tonight. They said it will be my turn in 18 years. They better start saving up now if they are going to host my pre-dance dinner party at the Maryland Club.

Gobble, Gobble

A 91 year football tradition followed by an afternoon eating frenzy. Mommy says we call this day Thanksgiving. It was fun to cuddle with Daddy while we watched his Blakefield Dons play the big rival football game (although it wasn't fun to watch Calvert Hall kick their butt). By the afternoon we were all dressed up and headed to NuNu and Choo Choo's house for the big family dinner. It was great to meet more cousins. I only wish I could have dived into all that yummy food. And just in case we didn't get enough to eat, we capped off the evening having dessert with Mommy's family. Luckily, the doctor told Mommy and Daddy that I needed to gain more weight so I will indulge in Thanksgiving dinner/dessert (via Mommy's milk) and have seconds, too!

Go team!

Check me out. My team spirit led the Ravens to victory today!

Ruling the roost

Only nine days old and I'm already running this house. Ha-ha. I keep Mommy and Daddy guessing -- eat, sleep, play, or change. Right now, I have my days and nights mixed up but Mommy and Daddy are working very hard to correct that -- mostly for their own sanity.

We've had lots of visitors in the last week. I'm very popular! Everybody loves a baby.

No place like home

After a few days in the hospital, Daddy chauffered us home today. It was so nice to come home to see my beautiful room and meet Regis and Daisy after hearing so much about them! Daddy surprised us with a lovely, clean house and a big bouquet of flowers. Mommy got an extra special surprise -- a certificate for a spa day from Daddy.

I'm looking forward to settling in and meeting lots of family and friends in the coming days.

Better late than never

40 weeks, 3 days and I'm finally here. I popped out at 5:49 pm. Mommy just layed there while Dr. Aziz did all the work but she deserved a break after laboring all day. Then Daddy got to work with me and the baby nurse to do the clean up and measuring. I weigh 8 pounds and measure 21.25" long.

The Great Escape

I'm planning my big escape for tomorrow! Mommy and Daddy have been getting lots of calls and emails but I wanted to keep folks guessing. I think Regis and Daisy know something is up because they have been sticking pretty close to Mommy the last few days.

We enjoyed a yummy sushi dinner this evening since we'll get stuck with hospital food for a few days. Mommy is wondering if Qdoba or Chipotle will deliver to St. Joe's.

On the move

Last night I was very wiggly and Mommy could feel and see me squishing around. It's really getting tight in here. I heard her tell Daddy that I dropped. I hope they pick me up! Bah-dum-bah...practicing my stand up comedy act from the womb.

We took a family trek to PetSmart so Regis and Daisy could get a mani/pedi. Wow -- that was a real adventure. We're going to have to work out a better road trip plan when I have to share the back of the Cherokee with them.

Busy, busy, busy

We had a non-stop weekend of volunteering and Halloween festivities. Yesterday, the doctor told Mommy it was time to take it easy so we're now officially off on maternity leave for the next 3 months. Mommy is bored because I'm not "out there" to keep her company, and she's not allowed to work on house projects until after I pop out.
