Hello Everyone!
I am happy to announce my arrival… I was a bit late (a week), but I arrived in style at 7 pounds 10 ounces and 20 inches. In case it’s hard to see in my pictures, I have red fuzz and fantastically alabaster skin. Mom and Dad like to point out my long fingers and large hands and feet, but I think that my eyes are a better feature. They are blue-grey right now, and Mom is fairly certain that they are going to be blue, like Dad’s.
So far, I am a good eater, which Mom is happy about since she is determined to fatten me up. Although my big brother Emmett was the same length when he was born, he had just about 1/2 pound on me. That means in comparison, I have some skinny arms and legs. And a long neck. Mom and Dad want me to put on the pounds so that I can start to support myself a bit better. I am excited to get big enough to play with Emmett. So I am working hard on eating everything put in front of me. I take direction very well.
Something else I’ve been working on is snuggling. Mom really wanted Emmett to be a snuggler, but he moves so much that he’s never really in one place for long enough to snuggle-unless he’s asleep. And he will only fall asleep when he’s alone in his room in his crib with his stuffed bunny. So, that means that the snuggling job falls to me. And its a good thing that I am really quite a good snuggler. Even when I’m awake, I am an accomplished snuggler.
I love to be held and love to hang out in Mom’s arms while stuff goes on around us. This works out well, because Emmett is really a Daddy’s boy and they play around and wrestle while Mom and I cuddle.
Well, I’ve got to go take a nap. I sleep really well and I wouldn’t want to disappoint Mom and Dad.
See you all soon,
Riley
