I'm one month old

Calista loves to hold my hand all the time.

Piper, here. I thought I'd give a run-down of my life so far. My life is the best. I get to eat, sleep and cry whenever I want. My mom and dad cater to my every need (Nonna does too, since she's been here since I was born). I have two big sisters who keep me entertained and I now have them trained so that when I lose my plug all I have to do to get it back in my mouth is cry just a little. Usually Calista comes running first. I've got those sisters wrapped around my little, itty-bitty finger. Téa likes to feed me occasionally but her favorite thing is to pick out my clothes for me. Calista does a good job of letting Mom know when I'm awake or asleep. Sometimes I get woken up to her saying (really loudly) "Mom, Piper is sleeping!" Then I have to try and fall back asleep. I really like sleeping in my pack 'n play during the night but I like taking my naps during the day in my bouncer. I guess all the noise from my big sisters helps me fall asleep. I guess I'm weird that way.

I realized recently that Mommy is much happier when I only wake up once in the night time. I don't know why that is, but I guess I'll keep that streak going. I guess I'll try to continue that since no one is awake in the night to play with me anyway. I've become Mom's roommate for the last 5 nights so that Nonna could have a bedroom all to herself. I really like it because if I start to whine just a little around 6 am, Mommy will put me on her bed in Daddy's spot so she can sleep just a little bit longer. I've got her wrapped around my finger as well. I might kick Daddy out of his bed to the couch. I like sleeping on their bed.

Did I mention that my Daddy had to go to Budapest on Sunday? I miss him so much. Every night we had our bonding time. He would stay up late with me and we'd play soccer together on the Nintendo or conquer some civilization in Age of Empires III. He won't be back until Wednesday of next week. That's the reason I'm posting this entry. I wanted Daddy to know what I've been up to. I know I've changed since he left. I grew a double chin and I'm filling out my clothes nicely. Did I also mention that I LOVE to eat? My mom just doesn't understand that I need to eat every hour from 5 pm to 9 pm. I'm just trying to fill the reserves so I can make it to 3 am and give her all that sleep time. Sometimes I just have to keep crying until she feeds me more. She eventually gets it.

My mom thinks she's gotten things somewhat under control now with three kids. I think it's only because Nonna is here to help a ton. Nonna has been here since I was born so I've gotten to know her pretty well. She even got up once with me at 3 am to feed me. We had some nice bonding time then. I'll miss her when she leaves in three days. But Grandma is coming on Monday, so I can start working my baby magic on her and have her wrapped around my finger. Ha ha ha! Well, I've gotta go rest now. It's getting past my bedtime and Mommy needs to check her email.

LIFE IS GOOD!
