Five Months Old
Hi Everyone! Greetings from Nashville, TN! I am spending my five-month birthday in Nashville so my parents can go to their big conference that they speak at every year. Thank goodness Grandma was able to come with me. We have been here since Saturday and have been having a really good time. While mommy and daddy are off doing a lot of yackty-yacking, me and Grandma have been seeing the sites! We are staying in a beautiful and HUGE hotel called the Gaylord Opryland hotel. It took us the whole first day we were here just to explore and see it all. We have finally gotten the lay of the land and it is not so hard navigating now. It is amazing, they even have a flat river boat ride in the hotel, that’s how big it is! Grandma and I have been to the mall and we are going to the Grand Ole Opry. It looks like Willie Nelson has some sort of museum here too, which I hope we will be able to make it to. I love looking at all the pretty lights and meeting all of mommy and daddy’s work friends. We fly home late Thursday night and boy will it be great to sleep in my own bed again. The hotel crib is just not as comfy as mine at home.
As you have guessed already, I have now my second plane trip under my belt. I wonder where they are going to take me next?! Two weeks ago I went to Pittsburgh for my Baptism. It was a wonderful trip and I met so many of my family. Some other really neat things are going on … I have discovered my toes. I love to touch them and play with them. I think one day they are going to take me places. I am also rolling over from my tummy to my back from time to time. Grandma won’t leave me alone on the bed anymore, she says she doesn’t trust me. I think she is worried I will just roll right off. I am grabbing at everything. I had lots of fun at Grandma and Pap-pap’s house pulling all the napkins out of the holder. I am eating some bananas and a little rice cereal now. I think mommy says once we get back from our trip I will get to try some other foods. That sounds yummy! It always smells good in my kitchen at home and I can’t wait to try some new things.
I went to my first recital – cousin Abbie’s year-end concert. I loved hearing the songs and seeing the kids.
I still go to Gymboree classes on Tuesdays. There are seven babies in our class now. And finally some boys! It is lots of fun, I love the songs we sing. Mommy was gone a couple weeks ago on a business trip and daddy took me to the class! It was lots of fun with daddy. He was the only daddy there. I felt special.
The President and First Lady sent me a welcome card! It is really cool to have something from the White House. Daddy was worried when we got something from the White House … you never know what that might be! I think the President is happy that there will be another tax-paying citizen in the country. I also got a Mets hat, it’s reversible and my Daddy brought it to me. I like it as much as my White House letter.
My family is all good. Mommy and Daddy are just trying to “get through” this week. Then we can have some great family time together. June is looking to be a busy travel month for Daddy. I always miss him when he is gone. My Grandpap started working again a couple weeks ago. It is in Dallas and close to home. My Aunt Melinda and Uncle Mike are in Australia this week. That sounds like a fun place. We are going to visit them in June in Austin the weekend before they leave for Germany. They will be there for two weeks during the World Cup, which they are very much looking forward to.
My “cousins in the making” are doing well too. Aunt Kristin’s twins are already five inches long. Auntie Rachel’s baby is looking very healthy too. I can’t wait to be a big cousin! I will have lots of tricks to teach them. Mommy says I should teach them my sleeping through the night trick very early on.
Well, that’s about all from me. I hope you all are doing well.
And, just like my three-month birthday, the best part of being five-months old – no shots!!
Love, Sean
