First Thanksgiving - First Solid Meal

My First Thanksgiving

Wow this Thanksgiving holiday is awesome. I get to show what I am thankful for and eat as much as I want. We had a great feast yesterday, I had my very first taste of cereal. It was very interesting, at first I wasn't sure I liked it but then I couldn't get enough. (Although mom says a lot more made it on my bib than in my mouth!)

I'm not liking the Turkey bottom thing but Mom
thinks it's cute so I reluctantly comply

My Second tasting of cereal.
Mom learned from yesterday that plastic bibs
make more sense!



My Arrival - (Birth Announcement)

Recently, my parents announced my arrival.  Here is a copy of the announcement.  I only wish they didn't put the picture of me sticking my tongue out.  (There are those Yankees again, how did they know they are my favorite team!!)

Halloween Week

Last week I learned about this holiday called Halloween.  People dress up in costumes and go to houses looking for treats.  It's called Trick or Treating.   Since I have many people that love me I was given numerous Halloween outfits and costumes. Mom made the holiday last an entire week!!  She told me I'm too young for treats this year but we could dress in costumes and visit people.  Here are some pictures from my adventures last week.

Day 1: "Mommy's Monster" -While I look really peaceful in this picture I can be a real monster!

Day 2: "Mommy's Little Monster" - On this day I visited with Grandpa, Zjenjie, Aunt Angie, Uncle Paulie and Great Grandma Caltabiano

Day 3: "I'm so Cute it's Scary" - There's spooky stuff happening on this holiday, beware of black cats, I have one I know!

Day 4: "Baby's First Halloween"

My First Bath

A strange thing happened today. My mommy and daddy took me into a room I had never been in before. It looked strange and there was the sound of running water. The next thing I knew, I was placed on a cusioned throne in a tub of warm water. I wasn't sure what was coming next, but did I ever like the warm water. Mommy rubbed me with a sudsy cloth and poured water on me. It was great. I didn't want it to end. I have decided I do not like coming out of a warm bath. I hope this is something that we do a lot.This was way better than that cloth bath they used to give me.

My First Photo Shoot

On September 24th, my Aunt Nicole drove all the way down from Rochester to take pictures of me for my first photo shoot. I thank her very much for taking the long drive to meet me.  Here's a slide show of the pictures: 

My Accommodations

I arrived at my new home on September 17.  My host and hostess prepared my room for me before my arrival. I think the room is very cool, even though they didn't ask my opinion before designing it. 

They knew my favorite sports team was the New York Yankees and they wallpapered the room with Yankee Pinstripes and Yankee Border. They provided me a NY Yankee Toy box filled with toys and stuffed animals.  (See some pictures below.)

First Week

I've been on this Journey for 7 days.  It's been a hard life so far.  I arrived here on September 15 at 9:52 pm after I was evicted from my nice warm cozy home for the last 41 weeks.  My first evening here was very interesting I was weighed, poked, proded, had gel placed in my eyes. I met my Mom, Dad, Grandma Caltabiano and Aunt Lisa.  I thought they seem like nice people so maybe this won't be so bad.

Then we were forced to leave the hospital with around the clock care and go outside.  Outside I was strapped into a seat and placed in my first car ride.  I don't know if I like cars, the ride was a little bumpy.

When we arrived at my new home I met Mattey and Yogi.  I recognized Mattey's howl very quickly.  While there is still time, I think we will eventually be best friends. On Saturday and Sunday, we had many visitors come over. 

This week I found my fingers and hands, they can be quite soothing when I'm upset.

My host and hostess (mommy and daddy) are trying their hardest to satisfy my every whim.  Although it takes them a while to figure out what I really want they eventually get it and all is good with the world.
