Behold Jackzilla!!!





I am now TEN POUNDS, NINE OUNCES!!!!! That's right... someone hand me my dipping sauces, I need to get me some niblets!!

I had a doctor appointment yesterday, and I was all sorts of good. I flirted with the nurses, smiling and talking... (they didn't respond to any of my pickup lines though, I forgot that grownups don't know how to talk) They didn't even mind when I may or may not have peed on the nurse during my weigh in.

Dr. Chaney says that they're talking about me getting off oxygen sometime in March. I'm hoping it's sooner-- I really don't like the monitor stickers, and the tubes in my nose. I try to pull them off all the time, which stresses me AND Mommy and Daddy out. But soon... In the meantime I'm eating like a champ, and almost on the "term baby" weight chart.

Mommy took me to go visit the NICU nurses, while we were in Annapolis. I got to see a bunch of my old friends, including Kevin, Chona, Donna, and Sherrie. They were all impressed with how big I've gotten, AND I got a chance to scope out some of the niblets... There's a tasty morsel living in the corner room!!

Well... Gotta scoot, it's tummy time!!!

Greetings!!! A late update... Mommy and me made a deal-- I'll sleep well once a week, and she'll let me get on here once more more times a week. I think it's a good one.. i like typing!!

I'm doing well, I'm being loved and adored, so all is as it should be. I got to take advantage of the nice weather here, and made Mommy take me out walking in the outdoor plaza. We had fun-- my monitor and oxygen fit perfectly in the stroller basket. Saw a couple hotties, too... a realy awesome 2 year old who was giving me the eye... I know I'm adorable. ;)

Infants and Toddlers came to visit me, and they played with me awhile. They said that I was right at the perfect 1 month old level on some things, and ahead at a 2 month old level, with others. Apparently I'm really social. Mommy and Daddy already knew that, though! I love being held, talking to people... even if these silly grownups don't know how to talk. I dunno how that happens-- I tell them all about stuff, but they just kind of nod and babble. It's strange.. the older you get, the less you can talk.

I'm having fun with Grampa Rick and Gramma Cindy-- they've been taking over my 4am feeding for Mommy and Daddy. Also they're helping get the house all nice for me. Already it's groovy!! There are men here today working on the bathroom floor.

K... I gotta go, it's time for naptime... Mommy needs to sleep!
