Nap Buddies

I've had some buddies come to visit recently...I just napped with them all the day long! First with my Amelia and then with my Rachel. Anybody else feel sleepy?

I Like to Go to Church!

This is what I did. I took my first big girl bath (and as you can tell from the pic, I'm still not sure how I feel about that), then I got up this morning and went to big church in the first newborn outfit that hasn't been too big! Thanks, Aunt Jenn! I slept through Daddy's sermon, and for the very first time, Mommy almost went to sleep during his sermon. I think that had more to do with the fact that I decided to sleep during church instead of during the night last night. Oh, and when she wasn't fighting sleep, she was trying not to laugh at me because I kept making funny faces. I think we're gonna get each other in trouble if we keep hanging out together!

Also this weekend, my Nana, PawPaw, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Lissa came to visit me. Ben was there, too, but he still hasn't come out to play. We had a big lunch Saturday and lots of fun together! Thanks for coming to see me!

Tomorrow, my Amelia is coming up to hang out with me. I think we might go to Wal-Mart to take some cheap pictures, just for the fun of it!

My First Doctor Visit and My Day of Fun with Aunt Denise!

Nana gave me this outfit in the hospital before I was born. I'm still very dainty, so it's still a little big, but I'm trying to make it work!
Here's me and my Aunt Denise. We had so much fun today!
Daddy picked me up last night and look at how smushed my face got! Mommy thought I looked TOO FUNNY!

Ok, so today we went to see my very own doctor, Dr. Ben Wilkins. He is so nice and he says I'm just the right size (I weighed 7 lbs, 7 oz when I was born and now I'm up to 7 lbs, 15 oz!). I won't go back to see him for 6 more weeks, and then I've got to get shots! Ick!

Aunt Denise went to the doctor with us, and then we went on my first shopping trip to Wal-Mart and Tangerine Turtle where Aunt Denise got me some cute stuff! She and Uncle Shawn spoil me!

That's all for now! Love you all!

Random Pics for Ya'll

Just a few more pics for you guys! The first and last are of my bath time today with Mommy and Grammy. I liked it much better than my last baths. The middle one is for all Mommy's friends who made fun of her and said that her babies would always be perfectly dressed and matched. Well, check out last night's sleep attire. Nothing really fits me, so I just wear a shmorgasborg of clothes to bed. Winnie the Pooh socks on my feet and white socks on my hands; blue teddy bear gown; green giraffe bib (which I didn't actually sleep in), and a pink "princess" hat. Still, sleeping is one thing...going out on the town will be an entirely different story!

This Stroller's Made for Walkin'


We went for another walk today, but this time I went with Mommy, Papa Joe and our friends Keely and Carson. I just had a blast, as you can tell from the picture!

Just wanted to say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY AUNTIE GLENCORA! I just checked out Mommy's date book and saw it written there! We love you!

My Day 10 Photo Shoot with Daddy Leibowitz

We had too much fun last night with our photo shoot. Tyra actually called to book me for next season! Oh...and my stylist was Nana Ross. Hair/Bow by Mommy. :o) If my cousins Rhonda and Annabelle see this, we were trying to compete with them for bow size! Beat this, Annabelle!

10 Days Old!

This is me holding my Papa Joe. I love to play with his Santa Claus beard! The next picture is of me, right before my first walk with Mommy and Daddy in my stroller. After bundling me up A BUNCH, we took a short trip around the neighborhood. Or, at least that's what they tell me. I snoozed through the whole thing!

We're about to do a real photo shoot as soon as Papa Joe and Grammy get back from their trip to Wal-Mart, but here are some pics to hold you over until we get them all ready to post!

5 days old!

This was the cake my Nana brought for our "Birthing Day".
Daddy getting to hold me in the hospital nursery.

Daddy took this picture of me on my 4th day...look at his professional-looking "signature" at the bottom right corner! My Mommy took this picture of me and Daddy having nap time...He's so cuddly!


I'm a big 5 days old today! Things are going much better at the Carlton home. Some of you know that mommy has had some problems being really nervous and panicky, but she's doing better now. Thank you to everyone who has been praying for my Mommy!

Also, my big brother and sister (George and Cheney) LOVE me. I'm so glad.

Mainly, I'm here just to give you guys a few more pictures to look at. Thanks for all the nice things you've posted!

Being Born is Hard to Do!

My grandparents, the first time Mommy got to hold me.
Happy tears!
Me and Dr. Thompson. I sorry his team lost yesterday!
Me in my hood.

I'm here, but I took the long way home! Me and Mommy had a rough night Thursday (after a long day!)

Mommy had to push for almost two hours and by the time I got myself out (with lots of help from Doc T), I just wasn't up for much crying and fussing. I just wanted to lay there and be purple. Nobody liked that, so after just a minute with my Mom, they whisked me away to the hood...the oxygen hood,that is. They kept me there allll night...I even had my first x-ray so the doctor could look at my lungs because they were juicy. But now I'm good! Mommy and Daddy got to hold me the next morning and I got to go to the room that afternoon! We stayed one more night and then came home yesterday!

I'm still learning how and when to eat, so we were up a lot last night...and Mommy has been a bit of a Nervous Nellie since we got home. Oh, by the way, my Daddy is a baby PRO! Who knew?

The nursery folks at the hospital still don't want many people to hold me, but maybe soon! I look forward to cuddling with you!

Moving Day!

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

Tomorrow is the day! Woohoo! Daddy says he's evicting me from Mommy's tummy. He's so silly!

Mom is a little nervous, but Grammy and Nana are bringing presents for her to open for every hour she's in labor with me! I have the coolest grandmas ever!

I'll be a little busy tomorrow, so if there are any posts, they'll be coming from Daddy-O!

Due Date, Shmue Date...

Mommy Speaking:

Today...today is 40 weeks. Do we have a baby? Technically, yes. But in the same way that we've had a baby for the past 40 weeks. :o)

What we do have is a scheduled induction for Thursday morning at 5:30...so say a little prayer for me because I'm just a little nervous!

We'll keep you posted if anything changes!
