Today the ladies of the church threw a shower for me. I already have a lot of nice toys and clothes because my family spoils me rotten. The nice church ladies gave me a lot of great books that I don't have. Mommy is impressed how many great classic children's books I have now. I also got some pretty summer clothes, diapers, wipes and some other great toys. I am so thankful for all of my wonderful things. So many people love me that want me to look good and want to help me learn.

How I Sleep.
I'm better at sleeping now. Doctors say that if I sleep at least 5 hours then I sleep through the night. I spoiled mommy and daddy for a few days and slept 8 hours. They were enjoying the sleep so I decided to change things up on them and started sleeping five hours again. One thing that I do like is my white noise machine. Mommy doesn't like it when I sleep so close to it because she's afraid of the cord being too close to me. But no matter where they put me in bed and no matter how far away from the machine they put me, mommy and daddy always wake up to find me like this. I like sleeping with my head against the machine. The noise reminds me of being inside mommy. What mommy and daddy can't figure out is, if I'm swaddle and have no use of my arms and legs, how do I get myself over to the machine? That's my secret.

My Exersaucer
Aunt Becky gave me an exersaucer for Christmas. It has a lot of farm animals on it. I like all of the things to look at. I had a hard time holding myself up so mommy and daddy used blankets to prop me up. Once my feet touch the ground I should be able to hold myself up better but for now, I will settle for studying everything.

Watchin' my fish
Mommy still doesn't like to put me on my tummy because I fuss...a lot. So this was a compromise. I didn't mind being on my tummy on the boppy pillow and I could still watch my fishy. I actually did tummy time for about five minutes without a single tear. Mommy's so smart. Look at me hold up my head! It's a good thing I don't quite how to roll over yet.

Getting My Left Handout of any Swaddle
Mommy is trying to make sure I can't get my left hand free because I don't sleep as well or as long at night. She has bought and tried all kinds of swaddle blankets but I manage to find a way to wiggle my hand out. Mommy finally got a good swaddle on me and I fell fast asleep. The next morning, this is how she found me.

Dyno Damage
We had a long day yesterday and Annie had to stay home. She got bored and ate my shoe. Mommy and daddy were not very happy with her when they found it. This is a picture of what the shoes looked like before and after. Grandma bought me these shoes for Christmas. Mommy said she's going to find out where she got them and replace them. Annie has to stay in her crate now when we go places. I'm glad because I really liked my shoes.

Watching T.V. with my Grandpa
Today mommy and daddy had to go to a big church meeting. I got to spend time with Grandma and Grandpa. They have a neat toy that mommy and daddy don't have at home. They have a play gym with bugs. Mommy said it's a good thing I'm learning about bugs at their house because she hates bugs. It was pretty neat. It has sides that fold up so I can't roll away. After I had fun playing with that, Grandpa and I watched golf on his t.v. He also sang and danced with me and taught me how to do karate. Later we went to dinner at Cetrones. I like Mr. Sid the owner. Mommy's favorite is the calzone.

Guest of the NSA
I got to go to Pop-pop's retirement party today. It was at the National Security Agency. I got to meet Aunt Patty, Uncle Michael, and see Grandpa Garrison, Grandma Jean, Grandma Mary and Daddy at his new work! Security was so tight they even made me, an 11-week-old, wear a visitor badge. I was a good girl and slept quietly most of the time. Once I woke up I was all smiles for everybody. Then we went to Timbuktu's and I was just wanting to sleep some more. It was a lot of activity for me when I'm used to the quiet of my house. I was pretty cranky at dinner. Mommy took me for a nice walk around the parking lot and we watched the planes flying in to BWI. I fell asleep and then mommy got to eat her dinner. It was a good day.
Bianca Leigh Fogarty
My newest cousing Bianca was born today. She weiged 7lbs 12ozs and was 20 in long. She was born at 4:58 a.m. I can't wait to meet her.

Guess where I started?
Mommy put me down last night, I was in my sleep positioner with my head where that big white tag is on the side of my bed. Throughout the night, even though I don't have the use of my hands, I still managed to wiggle my way so that when Mommy found me this morning this is how I was laying.

Getting Ready for Bed
As part of mommy's shopping therapy today, she got me this great new changing table pad and cover that fits perfectly on my table. Daddy told her I'm getting too big for my table with the wipe warmer up there so she got a pad that fits the whole table. The warmer is now down on the second shelf. I can't help it. I'm long and I'm cute. What can I say?
As a part of my bedtime routine, Mommy gives me a bath but doesn't always wash my hair. She said she doesn't want to dry out my scalp. I then get dressed and then swaddled. I sometimes suck on a pacifier but I'm not a big fan of those. It depends on my mood.
Mommy and Daddy went to a new store with me last night called Buy Buy Baby. It's in Rockville. Mommy fell in love with all the unique stuff they have. They bought me this great white noise machine and a cd player. I love the white noise machine. It keeps me calm and from screaming as much while trying to go to sleep.

Bath Time
I've had a hard time taking baths by myself. I get scared when I'm away from my parents and in that water. Mommy made the bathroom real steamy so I wouldn't be chilly. She also covered up my butt. I don't understand why yet but I didn't mind. This tub used to be Shawn's tub. But he's too big for it now. I have grown to really liking my bath time.
My new friend, Mallory
I was a fussy bucket again today and mommy said she needed some shopping therapy so we went to Babies R Us. We got this great new monkey named Mallory. I like her. I can't see vivid colors too well yet but she's got a great face and I like to stare at her and coo at her. I even got my hand stuck on her blue ring. Well, mommy says it wasn't stuck. She said all I had to do was let go but I couldn't figure out how to do that so I sat in my car seat crying while holding on to the blue ring. Daddy helped me let go.

hanging with Annie
While Mommy was watching the inauguration on t.v. Annie and I just relaxed together and took naps. Annie is getting more comfortable with me when I'm not crying. When I cry, she still runs away.
Watching T.V.
I'm a bit of an independent girl. I like to sit up and look around. I still need a little help. Sometimes mommy uses a pillow and sometimes she'll support my back like she is doing in this picture. But I love to sit up and watch t.v. or watch what's going on. Mommy and Daddy don't like me watching t.v. but sometimes they can't help it. I'm pretty good at holding my head up now.

Getting ready for a nap
Monday, mommy went to the dentist. I got to stay home with daddy because he didn't have to go to work. It was a holiday. I was a bit of a stinker and cried most of the time Mommy was gone. When she came home, her mouth hurt so she just held me while I cried. I missed her.

Passed out after eating
Sunday, mom and I watched the Ravens play the Steelers. Well, Mommy watched the Ravens play, I slept. I was tired all day. Mommy thinks it from her taking so much medicine for her headaches. She tried to pump it all out and dump it so I didn't get any of it but I think I got some of it cuz I was so sleepy.
I love my Mommy
Mommy thinks Aunt Linda gave me this for Christmas. Very few outfits say "I love Mommy" that are made for a girl. Most of them are for boys and girl stuff says "I love Daddy." I DO love daddy but I love mommy, too. That's why I'm smiling so big in this picture. There are little dog faces on my feet and there are little paw prints all over this sleeper.

Grandma Garrison Comes to Visit
Mom-mom came down to visit me. She made dinner for mommy and daddy. I'll get to have some later in mommy's milk. I was a bit fussy but mom-mom gets me. She burped me and patted my bottom and it really helped me to feel better. I was glad to see her. I haven't seen her since Christmas and she couldn't get over how big I've gotten.
