My First Raspberry

Tonight dad came home and made a raspberry at me so I made one right back! Mom and dad were so excited they ran and got the camera.

Its just air mixed with drool.. are they really that excited? I guess when you're old it doesn't take much. :-)

What is this cold Weather?

Here is a picture of mom and I at the Reading Terminal Harvest Festival. We went on a hay ride, at lunch, looked at scarecrows and even watched a pie eating contest. I'm a really good eater but definitely couldn't eat a whole pie!


We live in the Old City, it's the farthest East part of Philadelphia. Mom and her other mommy friends decided to walk nine blocks to get to this Harvest festivity...for her it was nothing for me I felt like I was at the age of two already. What was she thinking!?! I have never felt this cold of weather before and am not looking forward to winter. I think I'm on dads side when he says he loves the hot weather all of the time, even though I enjoyed the day with mom, I was freezing my mittens off.

5 months

This month mom switched Pediatricians. Instead of going to Society Hill Pediatrics, I am now going to see Doc Tara Berman at Nemours Children's Clinic. She was recommended to Dad by one of his friends. I really like her. She scheduled me to come in even when she wasn't working. She wanted to catch up on where I was and if I'm on the right track...which I am of course.
I now am 24 1/2 inches long and weight 14 1/2 lbs.



This week has been a rough one for mom and dad. My teeth hurt really bad and I haven't been able to sleep through the night. I am now waking up every 2 to 3 hours. Dad has been getting me in the early morning so mom can get some sleep and then mom wakes up with me later in the morning so daddy can sleep. I'm sorry but these things called Teeth really hurt!


Not the best picture of me but this is my first meal of solid foods. Boy is this stuff good! Mommy called the Pediatrician because I was gulping down 8oz bottles every 2 to 3 hrs. The peds said...Umm yea...she needs to start solid and wants more to eat.


Happy Halloween! You would think that after getting a great shot like this mom would stop playing dress up but no.....she had a to try a couple of different horrible outfits...take a look below


Of course I do love Mummy :) but I am not a aspiring model Mom!

I think she finally got the hint after the third outfit. I was screaming my head off and I hate make-up and head bands!


My cousin Reese let me play in her jumper after she was done. What a blast! I want one mom!!!

Mom took me to Franklin Square today to paint my own pumpkin. It was fun. I think it was more fun to her because I couldn't even hold the paint stick thingy and had no clue which colors were which. The finishing product was pretty interesting...since my Nona is such a great artist we decided not to embarrass ourselves and post it on here. Use your imagination :p

This is me on my way to spend the night for the first time at Nona and Pops without mom and dad. I tried to be on my best behavior because I know that I'm going to want to spend a lot of time here growing up. C'mon...who doesn't like to be spoiled!

Four Months Old

I am older, stronger and wiser. I can completely hold up my head and reach for things with both hands. After my Pediatrician appointment this month I am now 23 1/2 inches long and 13 1/2 pounds. Moms feeding me well!

Dads birthday was this month, he turned 28! Man is he old! Mom and I planned a small surprise for him and had a couple of his friends and Nona and Pop over to celebrate. Mom and I went and bought Pirate hats, gold coins, maps and even eye patches. Even though there were only a few people, we had a blast!

I heard Dad for weeks telling mom all he wanted for his birthday was this Cookie Puss cake. Mom kept saying he was silly and they don't make that anymore. She just wanted to surprise him of course :) I can see why dad wanted it so bad...It was awesome! I can't wait until I'm old enough to get one of those for my birthday!

Here dad caught me taking a nap in between play time. If you saw some of the toys I have and how busy they are you would get tired too!

Daytime Fun

Little chicken learning to use her hands...

Yep, it's been three months

One of the most important things in my life happened on the 10th of this month, I received my first sacrament, Baptism. Father Jim at St. Augustine church in Philadelphia baptized me. Aunt Lora is my Godmother and Uncle Carmen is my Godfather. Great Grandma Montella stood in for Uncle Carmen who is overseas. Nona and pop brought up the gifts during mass. It was such a special day.

Here is Aunt Lora and I after the baptism. Isn't she so pretty! :)


Great Grandma Montella and Nona bought my Christening outfit. They are so generous and if I could literally say " Thank you so much" I would. Daddy says thank goodness we live in the city. He was afraid to bring me out in this outfit. He said something about the Amish kidnapping me.... whatever that means.

Lately daddy has been teaching me what mommy calls a really bad habit, watching T.V. I don't even know what I'm watching but I do love playing with this remote thingy.


Mommy now has me on a good schedule throughout the week. I wake up at 6am. Play with mommy and daddy and do tummy time at 7am. I take my first nap of the day from 9-10am. Then my afternoon nap from 1-3pm sometimes 4. I am then up until bedtime. Around 7:30 mommy feeds me, reads me a book then puts me to bed at 8. I am really good at sleeping through the night but just in case I get hungry, mommy wakes me up at 11pm to change and feed me then puts me right back to bed.



During the day when mommy needs to get things done around the house I sit in my swing and play with the bears and stars that hang above me.



I am now finally filling out my newborn clothing. I have so many cool clothes that I get compliments on everyday. My favorite outfits are the ones that cover my feetzes.
They keep me so warm at night I feel as snug as a bug.


I had my second appointment with the Pediatrician this month and I am really getting big. I am now 12lbs 6 oz and 23" long.

Two Month update

I have now been around for two months now and have met pretty much the whole family on both sides. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful family. Now I know where I get my good looks from..ha!




I have learned so much and have met a lot of my mommy and daddy's friends. Everyone is super nice! Everyday I learn something new. As you can see in the picture above, I have also figured out how to smile.




Mommy took me to the beach for the first time and geeze it was hot. Thank goodness mom took off that awful pink tutu bathing suit, I couldn't breath.


I am starting to realize how goofy my mom really is. These poor boys, who hate their job already but at the age they are will do anything to earn money for the arcade, mom stopped while on the boardwalk and made them take a picture with us. Did she really have to take this in the middle of my nap..honestly!



Today mom took me to Aunt Tara's pool. Ohhh was that nice! Just relaxing poolside and enjoying my milk in the shade.




I'm really starting to get good at holding my head up. Mommy does this thing she calls tummy time every morning after I wake up (hence why I look haggard). I hated it at first but it is pretty nice to be able to hold my head up on my own.
