Since my Daddy's not been posting lately...

Whew!

My parents have been looking a little bit long in the tooth lately. I suppose that must mean that I need to hurry up and finish my time up in the NICU soon.

The biggest indication that it's time for me to go is the lack posting on the blog here. My Daddy and I have discussed numerous blog topics and I know that he's worked on many of them, but alas, nothing has happened recently. My suspicion is that my Mommy and Daddy are either staying up way too late by hanging out with me in the NICU until near about midnight each night or all of the new activities that I'm doing is now part of their responsibility to take care... like feeding me and changing me and burping me.

As a matter of fact, at times, I wonder if they're the ones who need a warm bottle, a burp and a nap.

Well since today is my 2 month birthday, when my Daddy was resting his eyes (like he says), I snuck over and borrowed his camera. Darn thing is heavy, but I figured out how to use it to take the picture below and post this image for you. Hopefully, more posts will come, but that may be the biggest mystery next to when I may be coming home.


PS: Trust me - it's not easy to set up the camera, turn on the timer, scamper back to my bed, reswaddle and pose for the said picture within 15 seconds, but I managed just for you!

I'm #1

Hello, all. It's been an eventful past month, but I've managed to survive in spite of my parents.

So, yes - today, I'm #1... well, I have officially turned one month old today!


Yea me! :)


Sure, these parents of mine scare the pooh out of me without a doubt, but they're turning out to be not so bad.


They seem to be around all of the time, which is cool, but I do find that it kinda crimps my style with the ladies.

Cheers to being #1. I can't wait until I'm really old ... like those 3 year olds. Wow - they're practically ancient!

32 reasons why today is good!

Another week, another milestone!


Today, little Jack Henry has reached the grand age of 3 weeks-old and, of course, 32 weeks-old gestationally-speaking.


He's still fuming a bit about the, er, hmm, haircut type thing that he received recently. You can tell by the sorrow in his eyes, right?

Let's just say that when you want your hair cut, don't request Shaky McGee! :)


Yet this fury is tempered by his love for cupcakes!

Breaking news: Boy doubles in age in one week!

Despite Elaine and I being his parents, Jack Henry has managed to make it to two weeks-old / 31 weeks-old (gestationally-speaking).

So only if Channel 2 News still had its "Big Story", I would totally be able to sell the headline above since its still sweeps month!


Or I would play the angle of "Why are certain Houston doctors telling the parents of this two week-old baby that he is in fact 31 weeks-old? Our investigative reporters go undercover to tell you the truth, tonight at 10PM on Channel 2."

1 week old, going on 30

Today was a big day for Jack Henry - he turned 1 week old!

As far as the NICU is concerned, while he is 1 week old, his gestational age is 30 weeks, which will be the dates that we file until he is able to execute on his planned escape.

Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me!

These kind folks at Memorial Hermann know how to throw a party. Just look at this cake that they gave my Mom and Dad today. Personally, I don't get what the point is with them getting the cake when it's my birthday. Where's the hook-up for me?

Well, something more interesting to me since I don't get a nibble on the birthday cake is the footprints on the delivery certificate. While this isn't my actual birth certificate, I sure enjoyed getting a bit dirty to stomp my feet on this paper. :)
