Dear Rebecca,
Hello my gorgeous baby girl. Right now you are sleeping so quietly and you look so sweet. We've had a pretty good day today so far. You woke up at 3 a.m. this morning for a bottle, then again at 6. Then you did not wake up until almost ten. When you finally woke up you were all big smiles and grins. Mommy loves to see you like that. You had a bottle at ten.. and finished almost four whole ounces. Then I got you dressed and put you in your swing and took a few pictures and played with you a little while, while I waited on Daddy to call. Then after Daddy called I told him we were going for a walk and I got you out of your swing and gave you a sunblock rub down. Daddy has your hooded stroller in the back of the truck so I had to use an umbrella stroller with NASCAR written on it that someone had given to us today. Boy, I tell you what, you can really tell the difference between quality and crap. That stroller today did not drive worth a toot. Anyway, you looked like a little greased monkey all slathered up in sun block. I even had to put some on your head and in your hair because the NASCAR stroller does not have a large shade. Your hair stuck up and you looked very cute and silly, like a little duck.
We walked around the neighborhood once and it was very hot today so I decided not to do it again. We came in and you were a little fussy and acting hungry but I have to wait at LEAST 2 and a half hours before I can give you another bottle. So I decided to calm you by giving you a bath. You always seem to enjoy that and in addition you were still greasy with sunblock. Sure enough, in the baby tub, you calmed right down. When I got you out however, and got you dressed, you were still crying and sucking on your fist. It had been since around ten til ten since you ate and it was a little over half past noon. I figured it was close enough so I fixed your bottle and got your bib while you lay squealing on the changing pad we have downstairs. I came and got you and fed you and you took the whole four ounces in less than fourty minutes. You were one hungry baby. You fell asleep on my chest so I put you in your swing and went and folded the laundry in the dryer and took it upstairs. You woke up and started halfway crying with a few fake sounding squeals here and there so I came back down and held you while you fell sound asleep and I watched a tv show. When I was holding you the remote slipped and lightly konked you on the head (not hard enough to hurt you mind you, so you cannot blame your *blonde* moments on me.. just on being blonde) and you did not budge so I knew you were good and asleep. I put you back down and came to write you this post and here we are.
You smiled at your Daddy when he got home yesterday. He was really thrilled with that. He is a good Daddy and I am so proud of him.Try to smile at him more often little girl.... that man will be the best friend you will ever have. Well I have some things to do... and I better do them while you are still sleeping. I love you my sweet baby girl.

Dear Rebecca,
Hello little girl. You'll be two months on Saturday. You're growing so fast. I sat down here to post you a blog post about twenty minutes ago and you started crying, so I had to get up and hold you for a minute. It seemed to work foe about fifteen seconds. Then you started fussing again. Your mom has you now and you are as quiet as a mouse. Of course we gave you some tummy drops just before your mommy took you. Your mom is watching Maury Povich right now on the Tivo. We love our Tivo.
The other day you ate and ate and ate. I think it was Tuesday. I came home from work and was feeding you and you spit up a whole bunch. You spit up two ounces if you spit up a drop. It was huge. Pretty little Rebecca had to have a bath and daddy had to take a shower. Anyway, you were so fussy after you spit up. We called the pediatrician and they told us we were feeding you to much and you had a tummy ache. Aunt Lynn told us that you wouldn't take more than you needed. I guess Aunt Lynn is fallible because she was wrong about you. The doctor, actually we talked to a nurse, told us to put you on a schedule and feed you four to five ounces every three to three and a half hours. You didn't like your new schedule at all. We had you spoiled. Whenever you wanted a bottle you got one. Those days are history. We don't want you to be a chubby baby. We want to keep you healthy and happy.
This past weekend we got your one month pictures. They are so good. You are such a beautiful baby. We also took possession of our new vehicle this weekend. Actually it's not a new vehicle. It's Mamaw's old Explorer. Well, actually it's not real old. It's a 96 model. It has 77,000 miles on it but my father, your papaw, takes such great care of their vehicles that we couldn't go wrong in buying it. We gave them $9,500 for it. That sounds like a whole lot but your mother & I owe your mamaw & papaw so much money. Your Mamaw & Papaw were nice enough to take the money in exchange for the automobile and to completely forgive the debt. We got off really easy. I know we owed them at least $5,000. Wasn't that nice of Mamaw & Papaw? Mamaw bought herself a new van but she hates it. She really didn't want to give up the Explorer.
Your mother renewed her driver's permit this week. Yea, that's right, your mother didn't start driving until she was 27 years old. She's doing real good in her driving lessons. She's going to be a fantastic driver. Especially when you are with her. Your mother is such a fabulous mom. She loves you so much it's crazy. The bond between you and your mother is one of the many reasons that I love the both of you so much. It is so precious the way you look at her.
Well, that's it for today. Once again I want to apologize for not posting any more than I have been. Free time just seems so rare these days. This weekend Mamaw is gonna keep you down at her place and we are planning on painting your new room. I know we already painted your old room but now we have to do it again. Both your mother & I are so much happier here in this new place. We owed so much money on the old place that you would have suffered because we wouldn't be able to provide for you, and spoil you, like you deserve. I don't want to jinx it but life is pretty good for the three of us right now. I'm happier than I have been in years. We have a new home, a new automobile, new furniture and a new baby, all with very little debt. Actually we hardly owe anybody at all right now. It takes a huge load off my mind. Since we got out from under neath the crushing debt load that we were under your mother has been doing so great managing our money. I used to manage the money but I have never been really great at handling money. It's said that I am a whole lot like my grandfather, Bambi Dee. He was very generous with his money as well.
Now I'm done for real. I want to sit around and let my sore and aching back rest for a little bit. Love you, Hon!

Dear Rebecca,
Hey there, pretty little girl. We have had a pretty good day today. You must have hit another growth spurt because you have eaten quite a bit today. You had not eaten much last night though so I would say it has probably evened out. You are getting better and better at sleeping a little longer between feedings at night. And when you do get up to eat you only eat enough to fill your belly back up for a little while before you fall right back to sleep. You are a really good baby. You hardly ever cry or whine or get fussy unless you really need something...like a feeding or a changing or a bathing or some loving. You do like to be loved on. And of course, we love to do it.
Right now you are sleeping on your Daddy's chest. You both really enjoy that. Daddy especially, he thinks it is so sweet that you enjoy it so much... and only with him, too. You really aren't a fan of sleeping like that on my chest. I guess that is your own little way of letting him know you love him. That makes us both so happy.
It's almost time for dinner. Tonight we are having cheeseburger-macaroni pie. It's some kind of pre-prepared Chef-Boyardee meal your Daddy picked up at the store. It looks like it might be good, and in addition to that, it is easy for me. I am all about things being easy for me. I got it put together a little earlier so now all I have to do is pop it in the oven. Yippee for me. I have a can of mixed vegetables that I am going to heat up for your father... I don't really care for cooked vegetables. I prefer to eat my veggies raw. I also made some jello with fruit cocktail inside for desert. I think maybe we will have some cool whip on top of it, too. Sounds good to me. You have just recently had SImilac Advance with Iron... four ounces after two ounces one hour ago and six ounces two hours before that. See? A growth spurt. Has to be. Either that or you are turning into a horse. Ha, Ha. Only kidding. You are just a dainty little flower... so far.... hope ya don't wind up with your Mamma's appetite. Well, little girl.. time to go put dinner in. I love you!

Dear Rebecca,
Greetings, little baby girl. You had a big day yesterday. You attended your very first church service yesterday at Mortonsville Assembly of God. Everybody thought you were so cute. Not many people go out there right now. We have been thinking about going to King's Way Assembly of God. It's a much larger church with a whole lot more stuff going on. Allison works in the nursery as a junior helper so we know you'd be well taken care of.
We also attended the Bowman family reunion yesterday. You were the youngest child there. The runner up was six months. The Bowman Family reunion is based on Alonzo & Stella Bowman who are your great great grandparents. I knew them and remember them from when I was just a wee lad. Papaw, that's what I called Alonzo, used to play the harmonica and sing a song having something to do with a monkey and a train. That's really the only thing I remember about him. Anyway, my mamaw & papaw had a whole bunch of children, one of which was Granny. I hope you get to know Granny. Granny had five children, one of which is your mamaw, Milta. Your mamaw had your daddy and your daddy and mommy had you. Pretty interesting isn't it. Everybody at the reunion thought that you were really cute. Kitty Riddle, one of Granny's sisters said that you were the prettiest baby she had ever seen. I know that I am your father and really not an impartial party but I honestly do think that you are the prettiest baby I have ever seen.
Okay, we went home after the reunion. Your mother stepped on a bee. It's never a good thing when mommy steps on a bee. She's very allergic to them. We had some medicine for her in a needle. We didn't know how to work the needle and I ended up shooting her medicine, ephedrine into my thumb. It made me so incredibly hyper & nervous, then it gave me a headache. We had to take your mommy to the emergency room because she can't breathe when she gets stung by a bee. So you spent a big chunk of that day in the E.R. Mamaw & Papaw came to the emergency room and took you back to our house. Your mother & I eventually came home and we all had supper. Your mom & I had hamburgers prepared on the George Foreman grill and some french fries and you had your favorite meal of Similac Advance with Iron prepared with Nursery water from Walmart. See, you had a big Sunday. All day Monday you ate and played with mommy. Now, in just a second you are gonna get held by daddy. I love it when you sllep on my chest. Mommy doesn't like it when you get a big mouth full of Daddy's chest hairs. Love you, lilttle baby girl.

Dear Rebecca,
Do not let your Daddy fool you. He is just lazy...Lol.. I am kidding. He will probably get mad at me for that.. but oh, well. It is a bit different now that you are here, now that you are here we can look at you and tell you how much we love you. And you do take up A LOT of our time.. but we love it so much. I know I personally would rather be holding you & loving on you than typing on the computer... but we do want to keep up with your blog as much as possible. Whenever we get some free time, we promise to post.
I can't believe how much I love you. You are the most precious thing in the world to me. You've just finished eating and now you are resting quietly in your swing. You ate big so maybe now you will sleep for a little while. You are so sweet, little girl. Sometimes whenever I put you down in your swing to sleep and leave the room, when I come back in, you smile in your sleep. That's so precious. It's your own little way of letting me know you love me.
Daddy gets jealous that you look at me more often than you do him. Well that is because we are together 24/7... and we have a special mother-daughter bond. When you get older I know you will probably be a Daddy's girl. You already love lying on his chest to sleep...and pulling out his chest hair.. ha, ha. Go for it little girl..yank it all out if you can. The less he has the better, in my humble opinion. Your Daddy is a hairy, hairy man.
Yep, you have outgrown the Newborn diapers. Now it is size one. You are a little over ten lbs......... and the newborn diapers only go up to ten lbs. I had one on you today and you looked like a little plumber... ha, ha. The size ones are 8 to 14 lbs. I wanted to use size ones a while ago.. when you were around nine lbs.. I never cared much for the way the Newborns fastened.. and personally if I were a baby I would like some extra room in my drawers so that I could do some really BIG business if I had to, know what I mean? But your Daddy refused to let you grow up.. Lol.. only kidding. He loves you so much. You are a lucky little girl to have such a good Daddy like him.
Your great granny Annetta and your great Aunt Linda came over to see you today, and you were wide awake for it. You entertained them with gurgles and coos and fussiness for a bit of a bottle to top you off from an earlier feeding. Aunt Linda fed you and you fell asleep in her lap. After they left you slept a while on your Daddy's chest and then when I put you down in your swing to sleep so Daddy could take out the trash you got fussy and wanted to have your dinner. So I got your bottle out of the fridge and heated it up a bit and you ate nearly four ounces. You were still acting a bit fussy so I went and made you a fresh bottle with three ounces so you had just over six ounces at your last feeding. My, my.... we used to get excited when you almost finished two ounces. Now we can barely keep up with ya... Lol.
Mamaw and Papaw and Aunt Lynn & Granny & the rest of the family got back from Colorado on Sunday. Aunt Lynn bought you a yellow volkswagen (Punch Buggy..by the time you read this I know you will know what that means) savings bank souvenir that said *Colorado* on the back. You already have lots of change in it. Mamaw bought you a little white fuzzy teddy bear holding a rose with a place to slip your picture inside. It's sitting on the loveseat right now with a picture of you in a little pink sleeper... you weren't sleeping but you playing possum so in the picture you look like you are sleeping so sweetly. The love seat is where we lay down your changing pad and change you so I put it there so you can look up at it. Granny bought you a little teddy bear t-shirt that says *Every time a baby is born, so is a mother*.. it is really sweet and cute.. you cant wear it right regularly right off but I am going to put you in it and take you up to Granny's house so she can see you wearing it. It is still a little too big as of yet...but I know Granny will love to see you in it. Granny bought us a Colorado magnet to hang on the refrigerator and Mamaw bought Mommy a nice cookie jar and a nice plaque-swag to hang above the window in the kitchen. She bought Daddy a nice T-shirt and cap that said *VAIL* Colorado... Vail is where they went. All in all they said they had a nice trip but I know that everyone missed you very much..and Mamaw & Papaw stopped by to see you the day they got home. Well little girl, I guess I better get some rest while I still can.. soon you will be awake again. I love you, my sweet baby.

Dear Rebecca,
Hey little girl. I know it's been forever since I posted here. It's been a combination of things. First of all, you take up a huge chunk of my formerly free time, plus the computer is in the living room now so there's a whole lot of stuff going on and I really can't seem to enjoy playing on the computer if I can't concentrate properly and finally I'vew just been lazy.
Well, I was off work for four of the past five weeks so that was really great. I got to spend lots of time with you. You are a little over 10 pounds now. Your mom just now diapered you using a number one diaper instead of the newborn size. You're losing your pretty hair. It will all come back of course but we still wanted you to keep all of your pretty hair.
Well, to much going on in here and I can't concentrate so I'll let you go.

Dear Rebecca,
Hello, my beautiful baby girl. Today you are one month and six days old. You have an appointment with Olan Mills at Versailles KMart tomorrow for your one month pictures. I have bought you a little purple dress to wear to your photos. I know you will look so cute in them. I am wondering if they will let me change your outfit for one of the poses because I also have a cute little blue outfit I would like to put you in. You look really good in blue, but I don't really put you in it much. If one more person says "How old is HE" or "What a cute little BOY" I think I might commit murder. And that wouldn't be any good.
I am so proud of you, you are growing so big.. It's almost time to come out of the Newborn Swaddler diapers. They are getting harder and harder to fast around your little tummy. Right now you are in your swing kind of grunting and groaning... you do that a lot... I used to pick you up every time you did it thinking that you were fussing but a lot of the time you really aren't. You're just dreaming. So now I wait until you start to cry before I pick you up. I think it's made us both a lot happier. Sometimes you just want to be left in your swing.
Daddy is so in love with you, and I think the feeling is mutual. Sometimes when you fuss all you want is to be laid across your Daddy's chest, then you settle right down. That makes him so happy, that you love being with him that much. As for me, you do not care much for being laid across my chest. My breasts are too big... lol. But you do enjoy being held in my arms and that makes me very happy. We both love you SO much. We have so many plans for you. Of course I know that you will ultimately lay out your own plan, but it's nice to have dreams about our little girl growing up. Whatever plan you choose, I know you will always make us proud. Well little girl, you are starting to fuss a bit now, so I think I will let you go here, and go check on you. I love you, Rebecca.
Hello, my beautiful baby girl. Today you are one month and six days old. You have an appointment with Olan Mills at Versailles KMart tomorrow for your one month pictures. I have bought you a little purple dress to wear to your photos. I know you will look so cute in them. I am wondering if they will let me change your outfit for one of the poses because I also have a cute little blue outfit I would like to put you in. You look really good in blue, but I don't really put you in it much. If one more person says "How old is HE" or "What a cute little BOY" I think I might commit murder. And that wouldn't be any good.
I am so proud of you, you are growing so big.. It's almost time to come out of the Newborn Swaddler diapers. They are getting harder and harder to fast around your little tummy. Right now you are in your swing kind of grunting and groaning... you do that a lot... I used to pick you up every time you did it thinking that you were fussing but a lot of the time you really aren't. You're just dreaming. So now I wait until you start to cry before I pick you up.

Dear Rebecca,
Hello there my beautiful baby girl. Yesterday you turned one month old. My, you are getting bigger and bigger every day. Aunt Lynn said now you weigh nearly ten lbs.... Well, that's what you were supposed to weigh when you were born. They told us a fib, I think.
You've had a fussy day today. I don't really know why, it's just that you've been fussy. I guess babies just get fussy sometimes. I fed you, held you, rocked you, walked you around, put in a Baby Einstein video for you, put you in your swing, put you down on your mat, offered you your binky, and tried to rope the moon for you, but nothing seemed to work. I had a few things to do today so I woke Daddy up to enlist his help. He came down and held you and yo fell asleep on his chest almost immediately. I think maybe you just wanted your Daddy. Right now he is giving you a bottle of Similac Advance with Iron. That seems to be your meal of choice... always... hehehe. I could not imagine eating the same meal every time I ate for almost a year. Well, that's what's best for your little belly though. I'd hate for you to get a tummy ache. You've had one before and neither one of us liked it. Fortunately, we had some little tummy drops medicine for you to take. They made you feel better.
I am so proud of you little girl. You rolled over all by yourself yesterday. That's fantastic. One month is very early to roll over. But then again, you are very smart. I always knew you would be. You started smiling just before the three week mark, and that's early too. You are super baby! Really, you are. Well, I just wanted to check in and let you know that I am so proud of you. Right now I am having some relaxation time for me while Daddy takes over with you. We have to alternate, otherwise we will get very tired. I love you baby girl!!!
