I was born at 4:27 am on February 14, 2009. I weighed 6.6 pounds and was 20 and 1/4 inches. I came on the day Arizona was made a state, Valentines day and my Uncle Geralds birthday. Moma and Daddy wanted me to be born on Friday the 13. That why she was scheduled to be induced early Friday morning. The hospital called her and said there was no room for her, she had to wait. I was okay with that. Finally she got admitted into the hospital and started started labor at 5:15 pm. Almost 12 hours later I arrived. It was a little scary at first but once my moma held me I was able to calm down. My first car ride home was on Sunday. I slept the whole way. Daddy and I are best friends. He changes my diaper and stays up with me so moma can sleep. He is pretty good at this Daddy stuff and knows how to wrap me up real tight in my blankets. Moma is learnin and each day does better, Today she gave me a sponge bath and made me really mad, its not like I'm really that dirty any ways. But she fed me and made feel all better, Daddy got to see me first smile on Sunday and I found my thumb, it taste real good.

I don't know where it went though some times I can't find it. Grandma Perkins was able to stay with us this week. She helped mommy and I out a bunch. She did really good taking care of us. Grandma Mills brought us yummy food and was able to spend time with me. I already love them both so much. I also met my cousin Roman. He thinks he is pretty big and tough now but just wait I will catch up. We will be pretty good buddies though.

I have a dog. She likes to lick my face and toes. Daddy and Mommy tries to keep her away from me though. Any time I cry she is right there making sure I am ok. She is my watch dog.
