Feeling Better Today!

Phew, what a difference a day makes! Feeling so much better. Off to the Big House! Haven't been there in ages. Catch y'all later.

Hi!

I'm sick today. BOO! I threw up 3 times last night and 5 times today, including once in the street. Being sick is the worst. I really hope Little Bro doesn't get it. This sure is bad timing for me to get my worst-ever flu.

Here's a picture of me in happier times.

Happy (Three Week) Birthday to Me!

Guess who's three (weeks) today? Me! I celebrated by taking a nap.

Charlie here, taking back over control of MY blog for a minute. I wanted to say Happy Birthday to my little bro, who is very cute, even if he doesn't do much more than eat, sleep, poop and cry. I try to sing to him and make funny faces when he's crying. Sometimes it works; sometimes it doesn't.

More Visitors

It's hard to find time for updates when so many people are coming to visit. Here's Papa, who came in from Florida for the weekend, and then had to leave and take Mum away on Sunday. Boo! I miss her lots, and so does Charlie.

Uncle Eric also came over Sunday to eat some burgers and milk with me.

I'm Still Swimming!

And getting better every week!

Maybe you haven't heard but my favorite movie is Frozen. I've watched it a million billion times, and have listened to the music even more than that. Here's the Tuba Dance that I do during this party scene.

Bonus Lil Bro Pics!

Little Bro

Weekend

That was a fun weekend hanging out with my Lil Bro and everyone else. Here we are going for his first walk, to the farmer's market...FOR DONUTS! Well, I ate one. He didn't. He has no teeth.

Sunday was Mother's Day, so I hosted a nice brunch in the yard. We had two mothers there -- Mom and Mama, and I realize those names are kind of confusing and we may need to work on them eventually.

 Later on Sunday, we tried to go to the zoo. Big mistake. Crazy scene. So we went to the carousel and got ice cream instead.

 I'm trying to be super duper helpful with my Lil Bro. I can take him for walks all by myself!

I finally went to the zoo on Monday, with Mom. That was fun! Mama says this could be the album cover for my first hip-hop record.

My First Stuffed Animal

Technically, I didn't pick this up. Mama just sort of wedged it into my arms, which I don't exactly have control of yet, but still it was cute so I held on to the little guy. Or girl. Whatever it is.

If I look kind of nervous and suspicious it's because I am. I never know when you people are going to snatch me up and take me someplace I don't like. Back off!

While Charlie Was Off Having Fun....

Meanwhile, while Charlie was off swimming and opening presents, I went to the doctor. It wasn't so bad, mostly b/c she said I was really cute.

And no needles so far!

My Birthday!

Hey, who let that little bro take over my blog? What's that, we have to share? Oh, man! Do we have to? Okay, fine. But now it's my turn. Monday was my birthday. I'M FOUR! I got lots of presents, starting Saturday and running through Wednesday, so that was cool. We also went to this cool restaurant that has my favorite game, PUTT PUTT!

Happy Birthday to me...

 First, daddy took me to swim class. I am a good swimmer, way better than Nora and Beckett. Nora always cries. I'm not sure why. It's only water, Nora!

PUTT PUTT!

So Many Visitors

Phew! It gets tiring meeting new people, because everyone wants to hold and cuddle you. Which I can understand, because I am adorable. Here are just a few of the people who have come to see me in the short time I have been around...

 Aunt Jenny!

 Grandmom and Granddad!

Auntie Claire!

Mom!

 Auntie Steph!

And of course my best friend and awesome big brother Charlie!

My Big Bro

Charlie is pretty cool. He's so BIG. And loud sometimes. But he's gonna be my best friend, I know it.

How cute is this picture? Daddy says it should be a poster!

My First Few Days

I know my Big Bro set quite a precedent with the daily blog that I'm afraid there's no way I can possibly keep up with. First kids are special that way. My team of assistants is taking plenty of photos, so don't worry about that. They might just be posted sporadically, and not daily.

My first few days were in the hospital, which was fine and all, but a little sterile and cold for my tastes. Still, I had lots of visitors, and lots of cuddles from Momma and Daddy...

This is the first-ever picture of me in the wild. Wow was that a shocking transition! I have some notes about how to improve upon that process if anyone's interested.

Once in the world, things improved. Mostly I eat and sleep, and people change my diapers. I don't love that process at all!

Nicholas!

Internet is terrible here at the hospital, so sending pics from the phone to the computer takes about a day and a half. We'll obviously post tons more (bigger) photos of our new adorable addition, but here are a few pics of Nicholas William Dean, born 4/29 at 10:11am. He was 7.15 lbs, came via C section and is super cute and sweet! We love him! Mom is doing fine, but very grateful for the pain drugs. We all go home tomorrow, yay!
