4 Weeks Old!

I'm 4 weeks old now! Can you believe it? Mommy can't. Daddy says it seems longer! I've grown so much. I have my 1st month check-up next Tuesday. Mommy is excited to see how much weight I've gained, and she's got lots of questions (of course). I like Dr. Whipple he's very nice to me. Although I've heard them talking about shots and I'm not too sure about those, thank goodness at this next visit I won't get any of those.
Last night I didn't go to bed until 3 am, but I did let mommy and daddy sleep a solid 4 hours before I got up. My Aunt Jeanine talked to me on that phone thing again today. She said I needed to sleep at least 6 hours for mommy tonight. (Yeah right) Who is she kidding? Mommy took me to Granny's today hoping that I would stay awake, no luck there. I slept the whole time. But as soon as we got home I was wide awake. I had to stay awake to see what mommy and daddy were having for dinner. Daddy cooked again so I had to see what smelled so good. Are you wondering yet what they had? I thought so...they had homemade curly fries, hamburger steaks, and rolls. After dinner they kept talking about giving me a bath. I was all for it until I realized they were gonna put me in water. I didn't like it one bit. Don't get me wrong I love not wearing a diaper but I could do without the water and the washing me off part. It was my first bath but I'm sure not my last.

Well I guess I need to go and eat so I can try to sleep a little. Maybe if I don't sleep those six hours like Aunt Jeanine said she will come up here sooner. :) Night Night

Another Day at Home...well kind of

Howdy. Sorry I didn't write anything yesterday. Mommy has apparently started getting migraine headaches since I've been home. I don't think it's because of me...I'm so little what could I possibly do to make anyone have a headache? Anyway me and Daddy hung out last night so mommy could rest. She is feeling much better today thank goodness. I tried to be good last night and sleep as much as I could so mommy could rest too. We didn't really do anything yesterday but my Granny and Harold did come to see me last night and brought me a really cool quilt Granny made just in time for Halloween. I sure have enjoyed laying on it today. Mommy even had a special shirt for me to wear today. It's orange and it says "This IS my Costume!" How funny is that, well kinda funny because it's not actually my costume, like I've said before I gonna be a ghost! Anyway it was a really pretty day so we took a car ride. Daddy took us to the store to fill mommy's car up with gas. It was nice to get out of the house for a while. Then instead of coming back home Daddy dropped me and Mommy off at Granny's to spend the afternoon. I had so much fun laying in my bed. Then Robert and Mommy put me on the floor on my quilt and I rolled from my tummy to my back. Isn't that amazing? When Aunt Sharon come and got Robert, Granny, Mommy, and me went to visit Maw-maw at the nursing home. We don't stay very long because Mommy is worried I will get sick if we stay out too long, but it's nice getting to see different faces. Granny dropped me and Mommy back off at home then she fed me and got ready because Daddy wanted to take her out to dinner. Mommy must be feeling better because she wore some blue pants today that weren't very comfortable to lay on. Daddy kept saying something about her blue jeans...personally I like her other pants she wears. Must be a big deal that she put those jeans on because she kept saying look I'm wearing jeans...weird. Anyway I got to stay with Granny and Harold while mommy and daddy went to Olive Garden. I can't wait til I can go with them, don't get me wrong I love staying with Granny and Harold but I really wanna see what Mommy and Daddy do when they leave the house without me. Anyway we are back home for the night. Mommy is about to get her bath while me and Daddy spend some quality guy time together. Can you believe tomorrow I will be 4 weeks old?

What Did I Do Today?

What did I do today? Well thanks for asking...I stayed awake most of the day. Mom ate broccoli and cabbage last night (thanks mom) so I've had gas ALL DAY! I haven't been to fussy (cause I know mom needs her veggies) but I haven't wanted to nap. Plus this is a cool new world I've been thrown into and I need to look around and see all these cool new things. I laid in my big bed today for a little while and listened to music. And I got to swing for a little while. I've been very hungry today so it's been get my diaper changed, eat, look around, repeat. The weather is apparently cool again, because we didn't leave the house today and NO ONE CAME TO VISIT! I love mommy and daddy but sometimes I like to see new faces. I keep hearing about this Halloween thing this weekend, maybe I will see some new faces when kids come to Trick or Treat. If you ask me walking to houses and asking for candy seems crazy right now but I'm sure I will like it once I'm old enough. Mom is gonna bake come cookies and maybe a cake to take to the church for their fall festival. Sure do wish I could take a bite!

So let's see what else happened today? Oh! Dad checked the mailbox and guess what was inside. A huge catalog from Toys R' Us...now I'm not sure where this place is but boy I can't wait to find out. Mom and I looked through it and boy did I see lots of great things! There were bikes, army men, cars, and all kinds of stuff. Wish I could point out what I wanted. I can already see it...a few years from now I will get that catalog and a pen and mark everything I want! Hope mommy and daddy win the lottery before that happens :)

Well I guess that pretty much sums up today. I hope it's sunny tomorrow so we can get out of the house! Night night :)

A Day Full of Family

This is what Sundays are all about apparently...family and friends visiting. We slept in late this morning which is nothing new around here. Well waking up every 2 to 3 hours can make even a little person tired. Well once we got up Daddy made breakfast for him, Mommy, and B.J. He made eggs, biscuits, cheese grits, and Canadian bacon. I got to sit in my swing while they ate breakfast. Man I love that swing! Then B.J. left and daddy called his Uncle Tommy and before we knew it him and his kids were coming to visit. They stayed and watched the Nascar race. While they were here mommy got to talk to Aunt Jeanine on the phone, and can you believe she didn't ask to speak to me? Well at least she is coming to see me soon. We are counting down the days. Then Aunt Sharon called and invited us to their house for dinner. Mommy made some rice casserole to take with us, and she took that Red Velvet cake too! It was nice to get out of the house and to see somewhere new! Aunt Sharon has a dog and a cat. The dog was excited to see us but I think we were invading the cat's space. After they ate dinner Aunt Sharon tried to play with me but I kept falling asleep. I started getting hungry so Mommy and Daddy decided it was time to go. Once I got in the car I went straight to sleep, so Mommy decided to run by Granny's house for a few minutes. My Granny loves to hold me (even if I'm sleeping) . We didn't get to stay long because it was getting late. Once we got home I ate and ate and ate. Now I've got a belly ache and I can't sleep. Daddy has been holding me for quiet a while now and I'm still not asleep. I foresee a long night ahead. Maybe I'll let them get a little sleep...nah.

Ahh...Mommy, Daddy, and I slept him in today because I didn't sleep to well last night. I had an upset tummy. Today hasn't been much better. My tummy is just rumbling and rumbling. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Other than my tummy troubles it's been a pretty good day. Aunt Sharon called today and said she was coming to visit, and Mommy got so excited. She started running around and cleaning up. When Aunt Sharon I got here I was awake and she was amazed...usually I'm sleeping. She got to hold me and play with me. Then I decided to spit-up everywhere. It came out my mouth and my nose. I think I scared Aunt Sharon. Mommy had just dressed me but since I spit-up all over it she put on my skeleton outfit Aunt Sharon bought me. Daddy went and got lunch while Aunt Sharon was visiting. She didn't get to stay very long cause Uncle D is playing tonight at Hollonville and she had to get ready. After she left Mommy and Daddy ate lunch, then Mommy baked a Red Velvet Cake. Granny stopped by to see me and help mommy with the icing. She didn't get to stay long today because she still had to make dinner for Harold and Robert. When she left mommy and daddy decided to give me my Halloween gift early. I got a card and a book with a puppet. Mommy read my book to me and it seems pretty cool. I can't wait til I can focus my eyes on stuff cause it come with a cool hand puppet too!

Tonight Daddy called his cousin B.J. to see if he wanted to come spend the night. He did so him and daddy went and got dinner while mommy and I stayed home. So tonight Daddy and B.J. are gonna watch movies while me and mommy have a little time to ourselves! I've been awake alot today so I bet I'll be tired tonight. Well it's almost my dinner time so night night!

My Day with Granny

Ahhh...another day gone. Last night I couldn't sleep again. Mommy finally held me so I could sleep. Mommy had another Dr. appointment today so we had to get up really early. Mommy dressed me in a Halloween shirt and gray jogging pants...I was stylin'! Then I got in some swing time while she got ready. We headed to mommy's Dr. office once daddy got ready. Daddy and I stayed in the waiting room while mommy went back to see the Dr. She must have a really good Dr. cause I don't think she even cried and she went back there by herself! Mommy is doing good, her blood pressure is staying down. She has to go back in two weeks and then she will be done hopefully for a while. When we left there I got to go stay with Granny while mommy had her hair cut. Mrs. Sara cut mommy's hair and it looked so good I almost didn't recognize her! Thanks Mrs. Sara for making mommy smile...she loves her hair now! Mommy and Daddy ate lunch with Granny then they laid me down for a nap so they could go buy groceries. Before they could get out the door Aunt Shellie and Devin stopped by to see me. I slept the whole time they were there, but people don't seem to mind if I sleep; they just hold me anyway. When mommy and daddy got back from buying groceries they showed me a new outfit Daddy bought for me. Mrs. Lindsey is coming to take my picture in November and they said I needed a cute new outfit. I like it. Mommy and Daddy were really happy to see me again! Mommy said she missed me and I bet Daddy did too! I've been sleeping all day so I know in a little while I will be wide awake...hope mommy isn't too tired from shopping cause she's got a long night ahead. Oh and the picture I picked today just kind of fit the day. I spent all day with Granny and I loved it! Well we are supposed to have company tomorrow so I better go now...night night :)

Our Day Out

Man, I'm pooped today. I actually slept last night, in fact mommy had to wake me up at 4 am to feed me. She and I woke up this morning and decided to let daddy sleep in cause he's always letting us sleep in. Me and mommy hung out on the couch and talked. Then mommy took me in my room to change my diaper. She set me on my new changing station and she took my diaper off and just then the cold air made me wet again. Man I peed all over everything! My mirror, my baby monitor, the dresser but then my tummy started rumbling and I couldn't hold it in. Mommy is a good sport cause she just laughed and hollered for daddy (so much for him getting to sleep in) Daddy came in and held me while mommy cleaned up the mess. After they got me all cleaned up and dressed again, we went to take Mrs. Harris her cake mommy had made her. Her husband died a few days ago so mommy made them a cake and boy did it smell yummy even though it was pink (must have been cause she's a girl) Everyone at her house came outside to see me. Then we went to Granny's and stayed there until time for them to go to the funeral. When we left there mommy wanted to go see more people since we don't get out of the house much. We went by Mrs. Carrie Lee's house but she was sick and wouldn't let us come in. She didn't want to make me sick. So mommy had the bright idea to drive to Carrollton so she and daddy could eat at Sonic, then we would visit her great aunt Betty and great uncle Thomas. I love to ride in the car so it was fun for me. When we got to BeBe's (Betty) she held me the whole time which was great because I love being held. There were two little girls there too and they kept bringing me toys to play with...to bad I'm to little to play with them cause they sounded like they were having lots of fun! We spent an hour or so with them, then it was time to head home. Mommy wanted to go shopping for a Halloween costume because ever since she talked to Aunt Brandi the other night she's been wanting to dress up too! Mommy and Daddy don't let me go in stores yet because of all the germs so I got to stay with Harold and Granny! I love going over there. I have my own bed and everyone loves to hold me and Harold is always telling me about a go-kart. I can't figure out why mommy and daddy are so happy when they come back...I know they don't have fun when I'm not with them, maybe they are just always happy because they see me when they get back. Daddy got a pirate costume but mommy didn't get anything. She said something about going back tomorrow to get one. Hope I get to stay with Granny and Harold again. Mommy has a Dr. appointment early in the morning so I better get some sleep because I think I've gotta go with her. Night night!

Up All Night...Sleep All Day

I did it! I actually did it! I managed to stay up all night...well at least til 4 am. Mommy and Daddy were ready for bed and I decided it would be the perfect time to wake up. So Mommy fed me and laid me down, but I wasn't ready to call it a night. I whined, ate some more, and whined some more. I wasn't happy. I think I ate too much and got a belly ache. Daddy would hold me and rock me, then mommy would. Even though my belly was hurting it was nice getting so much attention. Since I was up all night I was ready to sleep once the sun came up. I woke up for "breakfast" then Daddy took me in the living room so mommy could get some sleep. Daddy played with me all day long! He has sang to me (and boy can he make up some silly songs!), and told me about all kinds of things we are gonna do together! Granny came by this afternoon to see me. She rocked me to sleep then she left. Mommy and Daddy took me on another car ride tonight. They went and got something to eat and I don't mind...I like to ride in the car. Just think only 16 years and I can drive! Woo hoo. Well that's all for today. Tomorrow I might get to stay with Granny for a little while so mommy can go have her hair cut. I love my mommy and daddy but it's nice to get to stay with my Granny and Harold :)

Being a Baby is Hard Work

Oops...I forgot to blog the past two days. My days are kinda full at the moment peeing on mommy, pooping, and sleeping (oh and staying up most of the night). Let's see I'll catch you up on the past two days. Sunday mommy was sick. She had a really bad headache. Daddy took care of me and mommy, which it looks like it comes natural for him. Granny, Harold, and Robert came over to visit and mommy said she would love some coffee and doughnuts, so Harold and Robert left and came back with Waffle House coffee and Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Can we say sugar shock? I think that might be why I stayed up all night Sunday night hehehe :) Then Aunt Sharon and Uncle D stopped by on their way home from Helen. They bought me a T-shirt. Robert got fudge and boy did it look good, I kept licking my lips but no luck on getting any. Monday mommy woke up sick again. Daddy made lunch and mommy laid on the couch. Mommy kept saying she wanted to get out of the house so Monday afternoon Daddy took us riding in the car. He took us to the store and got mommy a cherry dr. pepper (he's always doing something to make mommy smile). Then we went to visit Daddy's cousin Robby and Amber and their little girl AnnaBell. Then we went to Granny and Harold's. When we left there daddy went to the drug store to get mommy some medicine so maybe she wouldn't be sick anymore. It worked because today she is all better. So now it's Tuesday. I'm probably gonna pull and all-nighter cause all I've done today is sleep. We took another car ride today. Daddy bought me some jogging pants to wear the week of Halloween. I think I might actually like Halloween if I got to pick out my own costume. Apparently this year I'm gonna be a ghost. Original right? Oh well I'm gonna go with it this year to please mommy and daddy but by next year I'm gonna have a say so in my costume...well at least I hope I do. Tonight has been lots of fun. I've ate and now I'm relaxing on the couch with dad while mom takes a little time to herself. I'm sure if me and dad could sneak off to the bedroom we would watch Spongebob but mom likes us being in the room with her so I guess we will stay on the couch. Well that pretty much sums up the last three days. Hopefully tomorrow will be a repeat of today...sleep...eat...and sleep some more.

Mom and Dad Played Photographer Today :)

So today it was really cold outside again. Last night I kept Daddy on the move. Between wet and dirty diapers and wanting to feed every hour and half (which kept mommy up too) we didn't sleep much. Mommy and I caught up on sleep this morning while Daddy made breakfast for her. She ate then came back to bed to sleep a little more. Daddy spent the day cleaning house while me and mom took it easy today. Being a daddy is hard work. He cooks, cleans, and he keeps mommy and me smiling. I hope that one day I can be like him. Tonight he made mommy some homemade lasagna. She must love it because that's all she has talked about today. I know it smelled good, and once the timer went off I decided it was time to wake up, I was secretly hoping that I might get a taste of it, but I guess I'm too little; they just pulled the string on my giraffe and let him sing me back to sleep...no lasagna for me :(

After dinner I got to have my first phone conversation with Aunt Jeanine. She's been sick and hasn't been able to come see me. So tonight when she called she asked mommy to put the phone by my ear so she could talk to me. I'm not sure about this phone thing; seems a little strange to me. I can hear someone but it doesn't look like a person. Weird huh? Later tonight mommy and daddy took all my clothes off (which I loved) then they put on the couch and placed a huge bow on me and took pictures. Then they put me in the laundry basket...thank goodness the blanket was clean, I was afraid I was about to be washed in the washing machine. Mommy and Daddy took lots of pictures.

I'm still a little congested but it's better than earlier this week. Maybe tonight I'll let mommy and daddy get some sleep, well probably not but don't tell them :)

2 Weeks Old

So this is my first blog. I'm Corbin Tweedell and I was born October 1, 2009. My mom had a blog for a little while but she never updated it, so I decided to create my own so all my friends and family could keep up with what I'm doing. Since I'm only two weeks old my schedule is pretty easy right now...just wake up, eat, and go back to sleep oh and give my mom a million things to worry about. I've had one Dr. appointment since I was brought home from the hospital. My Dr. said I was gaining weight fine and he talked to mom and dad mostly. She had a ton of questions! She is so silly, she even asked the Dr. about me sleeping so much and he laughed at her; if I could I would have laughed too! So I'm gonna try each day to write a little bit about what I did and if I have time I'll try to post a picture too.

So today it was cold outside and rainy so mom decided we needed something to do inside. What did she come up with? Take pictures of us dressed in camo. I had other plans because once she laid me down I wet my entire outfit! She had to change me but at least she got her pictures done first.

My cold is a little bit better. Mom has been using that blue bulb thing in my nose to help me breathe. I really don't mind it if she will do it while I'm sleeping. Granny and Harold came over today to sit with me while Mom and Dad ran to Babies R Us to get me wedge for my bed. I really like it! I sure can breathe better. Maybe tonight I will let Mom get a little more sleep than last night. It sure is boring to be awake by myself so I always cry to get Mom or Dad's attention.

Well that's all for today. I'll be sure to post again tomorrow with more exciting news I'm sure Mom and Dad will come up with something exciting to do!
