Hi!
Daddy was on vacation all week long, and he, Mommy and I have had lots of fun and wonderful time together!! So far this week, we have been to Greenville….my first trip to Haywood Mall, and our first picture taken as a family! We also spent some time with both sets of grandparents, and some of our friends from church. We went and walked around the Chris Taylor pond and I saw geese and ducks for the first time. I also made my first trip to both Mama Penns restaurant and Jittery Joes, who has the best coffee in the upstate (Daddy says so).
This week I mastered eating from a bottle, which helps Mommy keep me out longer in public and makes her life a little easier. I have also been so full of smiles this week….and I am “cooing” up a storm. Sometimes I think Mom thinks I will just start talking with real words, I coo so loud and so excitedly.
Mornings are so special at home. After my breakfast, I sit in Mommy and Daddy’s room and they talk and smile at me. We sit there togethe

Gardner was passed from lap to lap, but seemed to enjoy every minute of it. I had dressed him in a cute J. Crew-looking sweater and cordoroy set....adorable. He's so stylish already.
Because of antibiotics I've been taking, Gardner has developed thrush, a common yeast infection in the mouth. It was diagnosed over the phone last week after I described his symptoms to a nurse at his pediatrician's office. I am now giving him swabs of medicine with a q-tip 4 times a day....the medicine smells fruity, and he loves it! He smacks his tiny lips and smiles! I am glad that he is on the mend now, so that this won't interfere with my plans to keep nursing.
I hear him crying now in the next roo
