Settling In

Well, I am now three and a half weeks old, and am just finally starting to figure out what this is all about. I have had many visitors. Many people came to meet me in the hospital.

My Grandma and Grandpa Skala were here for almost a week. My aunt Laura came for a weekend. My uncle Jake, aunt Diane, and cousins Trevor and Kenzie came from Nebraska for almost a week. Then I spent 4 days in Minnesota visiting my Grandma and Grandpa and aunt Laura again. I also got to meet my aunt Leah and uncle Andy. I met several other relatives and neighbors as well at another baby shower. I even got to spend some time with my Great Grandpa Skala--I am his 23rd great grandchild! He's a pretty special guy!

We also made a trip to the Minnesota State Fair for a day! Now we are finally back at home and things are settling into a recognizable routine. I eat every one and a half to three hours during the day and every three to six hours at nighttime. I like warm baths and my bouncy seat. I love it when mommy and daddy take me on walks or sing to me. I miss daddy when he goes to school, and mommy doesn't get much done because I want her to hold me all the time, but I don't think she minds.
