I actually filmed you smiling. You had been smiling and I grabbed my phone, just hoping that you would oblige me with a smile....32 seconds in; you did. I have played over many times and my heart leaps. This happened when your parents left me with you on my day off: April 15th.
Your Aunt Rachel came to visit you on April 23rd.
The next day we went to see you and you played and played. I showed you how to stick your tongue out. Too funny. You are losing your hair all over finally...but, your eyelashes have popped out.
On April 30th, you go to see you but you just sleep. I take a quick picture of you sleeping. You look like Jabba the Hut. Well-fed you are! We didn't stay long since your Ramirez grandparents were there.
We go see you on May 1st and get to stay with you while your Mom goes to visit a friend. But again you just sleep.
On May 8, we came back from Corpus for Mother's Day and your Mom took us to Mueller Cafe. That was our first outing with you but you slept the whole time. We watched you at the cafe while your parents shopped.
Your great-grand mother Yo came to town. You, your Mom, GG Yo, and I went to eat at Thai Cuisine. I regret not taking a picture of the four generations. I did take a picture of you in your carrier sleeping as usual.
May 15th was a great day. You are awake and playful and your parent's leave to go to the grocery store and we get to feed you a bottle for the first time.
We are asked by your Mom to meet her at the rec center. She has to work and we are to take care of you. She rushed feeding you and you had not gotten enough. You started to cry and we couldn't warm your bottle in the bathroom since there was no hot water. You screamed and your Mom came running to feed you. We felt like we failed her but it wasn't really anyone fault since we just couldn't get your bottle warmed. Live and learn. But you were happy for a while....
And you took a cute picture with your tongue out to show Aunt Rachel.
Your parents went to a bar-b-que on May 28th and we got you for 6 hours that included 3 feedings. We didn't have the right nipple to the right bottle and we ended up with spilled milk. We couldn't figure out how much to feed you. We tried to make you wait three hours but you cried and had to suck on my hand for about 30 minutes. Your grandpa Jeff and I were felt miserable because we made such a mess and you cried so long. Your parents said that we should have fed you more and that we shouldn't have made you wait so long. Live and learn. But there were some good times in there too. We will get better at this.
On Memorial Day, May 30th, your parents decided to go to the movies. We're ready to get back in the saddle again. This time we use the right bottle and nipple and the feedings (2) go well and we get to give you a bath! I'll have to post that picture next time since it is still in the phone.
And here is that picture.
