Words of Wisdom

Warning: brace yourselves for an obnoxious amount of pictures following this post. Of course, it would only be obnoxious if I wasn't so darn cute. But given the unimaginable degree of adorableness of the subject matter in these shots, "delightful" would probably be a more appropriate adjective to describe the quantity of these photographs.

I celebrated my 2 month birthday on Saturday. A month older and light years wiser. If only I could communicate more aptly, I could impart my profound wisdom to my parents.

Take, for example, how to deal with pain in life. I had my 2 month check-up with Dr. Donohoe on Friday, which meant I had to get my first round of vaccines. Mommy was truly traumatized to see me cry out in pain from the three shots the nurse very roughly and unsympathetically administered. Mommy had to go home and drink a glass of wine to recover from the disturbing experience and she's still a little shaken three days later. Me? Sure, I screamed bloody murder and got purple in the face. But that was only for several seconds until I was able to recover my composure while breastfeeding. Then I slept for an obscene amount of hours over the next two days. The life lesson here? When faced with immense pain, just sleep it off.

This past week was pretty jam packed. We had a lot of mommy group outings during the week and A LOT of visitors this weekend. On Friday, my girlfriend Avery's dad, Kyle, came to visit us. Mommy and daddy were so happy to see him and I was terribly excited to meet him, but I sure wish I could have also met my dear Avery, her big sis Addison and their mama Anne (they were all missed by all parties involved). Then, on Saturday, M & D's friends from New York Roya and Andy came to visit us. I've heard a lot about Roya and Andy and couldn't wait to meet them. I'm happy to say they didn't disappoint. They were every bit the stylish, funny and incredibly awesome people M & D described them to be. And, as if two guest weren't enough excitement for me, we also had another incredibly cool couple come visit us from Michigan. Nick and Jess were good friends of M & D's from NYC who recently moved to Ann Arbor. They drove down for the night and stayed with us on Saturday as well. They are really great and extremely kind. Nick was a riot (he made me smile nonstop when he was around) and Jess is really good at taking care of little guys like me. 

M & D let me stay up way past my bedtime on Saturday night because they were all playing a very heated game of "Celebrity." Mommy wore me in her baby carrier while she acted out the charades round of Celebrity. It was a wild night, if I've ever seen one.

I will leave you with some final (more profound) words of wisdom. Having lived two months in this crazy world, I've learned one important thing: loving others and being loved back is the best feeling in the world. I am lucky enough to get so much love from so many people, near and far. And, like that old British boy band from the 60's once said - love is all you need.

Love,
WFT
