7/15/2007 Arrived at Irvine Regional Hospital NICU
8/2/2007 Discharged from NICU and heading home!
8/6/2007 First check-up with my doctor.  Everything was great!
9/24/2007 Holding my head up and looking around at all the bright colors. I am sleeping about 5-6 hours at night before waking up to eat. I love to be held by my family. But right now I mostly sleep.
10/25/2007 I am getting so big. Daddy weighed me today and I'm at 9 lbs 8 oz.  I am looking around so much more. I can now smile at you and make cooing sounds. I still sleep a lot (trying to make up for my early arrival). My favorite things to do are swing and have my big brother hold me in his arms (with the help of my Mommy). Nate loves to hold me and kiss me on my forehead. I am losing my newborn hair. Going bald bald bald. Right now I have my Papa's (Grandpa's) hairline. But I've still got my beautiful baby blue eyes.
2/1/2008 I am 6 1/2 months now. So much has changed. I moved into my room. Mommy is sleeping on the floor while I get used to my new crib. Last night I slept from 11:00 till 6:45 in the morning. I've started to eat cereal (Oatmeal) and boy is it hard. I'm learning to swallow food. Most of it is ending up on my bib. But that's ok. I will get better at it. I still love to swing. I watch TV (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) with my brother. It has so many bright colors. I like to talk to the TV. Last month I started swimming lessons. I am in the water with Nate, Daddy, and Mommy. I can already hold my breath while I go under water. My teacher was so impressed. But boy am I tired afterwards. I fall asleep before I reach the car. I rolled over for the first time at my doctor's appointment last Friday. And, of course, won't do it when I am home for others to see.
2/16/2008 I rolled over from my tummy to my back.
4/29/2008  * Sleeping through the night. I'm able to find the binky and go back to sleep on my own.
 * Reaching for toys and playing with my toes
 * Eating food from a spoon. I didn't really like cereal so I've moved on to eating Applesauce and Bananas.
4/24/2009 Ok, so it's been a year since my Mommy has updated all that I have been up to. I've been walking for 4 months now. I am having so much fun playing with my brother. I like to drive my cars and trains around on the floor. I'm learning to ride my Winnie the Pooh  choo choo toy. But honestly my brother uses it more than I do.  I sit and watch Nate play and try to copy what he is doing. He teaches me so much. Besides playing inside, I have enjoyed the past few months outside. I've been playing in the sandbox, picking my Mommies flowers and  breaking them apart piece by piece, chasing my brother with push toys, throwing balls, and playing with Nate Nate in my clubhouse. On Friday nights my family and I go to the Irvine Spectrum and I get to eat Wahoo's Chicken bowls and ride the merry-go-round. I've also become quite the swimmer. Mommy and I swim every Monday together while my big brother swims with his teacher. I'm learning to kick and climb out of the pool on my tummy. Being 1 is great, but I'm looking forward to my terrible 2's. MOM AND DAD LOOK OUT CAUSE HERE I COME!!!
11/25/2011 Wow!  A lot has happened in the last two years.  I'm in my second year of Preschool at Shepherd of the Hills.  I like to draw and paint -- suns are my favorite!  I'm learning my letters and numbers in school.  I love playing Toy Story with Buzz and Woody!  I'm riding my two wheel bike but the training wheels are still helping keep me balanced while I race superfast around our driveway.  I enjoy playing with my friend's Vincent, Alexa and Logan.  I have all my baby teeth but check daily in case one might fall out like big brother Nate's.
