Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes...

Well we're working on the knees this week but as for the rest: check, check, check!  I'm a little over 10 weeks old now and so much has happened in the last week!  I have grown to the size of a prune...and I have to admit I feel a little like a prune floating around in here.  I can bend my arms now and my fingers move all on their own!  No more webbed hands for me :)  Actually all of me moves around on my own, I've got so much room in this place to kick around, its great!  My big job this week is to grow my bones and teeth!  I don't know what I will use those for yet, but I'm making a lot of them so it must be important.
I'm being really good to mom, not making her sick or anything.  I do wake her up a few times a night but that's for her own good, I'm trying to get her ready for when I blow this pop stand.  So I had mom take another picture of me...still kind of hard to see.  I think I will give her another week or two and then really make my presence known :)

Lots to catch up on...

Wow, sorry for the delay folks, but mom and dad have been dragging me all over creation for the past few days.  Quite a bit has happened though.  This past Tuesday mom and dad went back to that Dr. man (mom was pretty worked up about the "date" issue the week before so they checked me out again).  This time we saw an ultrasound tech...whoever that it...but apparently she is WAY better at this job than the Dr. man because she told mom she was right...and I think we all know how happy that makes mom...So I am back up to speed (actually a little ahed of it-I'm now in my 9th week!) and we are on for our party date of January 20, 2012!
In addition to our Dr. visit, we went on our first road trip as a family, dad is a very good driver!  We stopped first at my Aunt Mina and Uncle Peppi's and mom and dad got to play with my cousin Joey.  They were all very excited to hear of my impending arrival.  From there we were on to Danville to see mom's family.  We got to tell Grandma and Grandpa Clifton ( I think they were quite surprised), Aunt Patti and Uncle Jeff and my big cousins Patrick and Christian.   We were visiting for his high school graduation.  I dont know what that is yet but it seems to be a very big deal!  We were able to tell Grandma and Grandpa Tamayo on Skype.  They were very excited and said something about telling all of Ecuador!
As a special side note, today is my very first Father's Day!  I had mom sign the card for me...the whole webbed paddle hand thing makes it very hard to write, but Im working on it!  Attached are some updated photos of me, both from the inside and outside

Im still a blueberry?...

Well its been an eventfully couple of days!  I went to see that Dr. person on Wednesday.  I wasn't really sure what to expect,  I don't think Dad was either!  Over all it was pretty ok, I got poked around a little but Mom and Dad got to see a very fuzzy picture of me...see I TOLD you I was really here...did all the trips to the potty not give it away?  Anyway they also got to hear my heartbeat.  A very strong 147 beats a minute, which seemed to make everyone happy.  The only small surprise was...well me.  Apparently I'm measuring a little smaller than Mom's math...which seemed to bum her out, but its just 5 days!  I'll be here soon enough people.  So to make her feel better they are going to take my picture one more time next week...that perked her up a little :)
Ok if i'm having another photo shoot I've gotta clean things up around here.  Talk to you all soon!

You're turning violet Violet!

Greetings!  
This week I am a blueberry...not really of course, but the size of one.  I have had a very busy week!  Not only have I been making a ton of brain cells but I'm starting to sprout what they tell me will be arms and legs.  Not sure what to do with these yet, but it seems like i'll have some time to figure it out.
As for mom, she seems awfully sleepy, which is fine with me cause I really like naps.   I'm also excited because this week for the first time I will go to the Doctor! (I don't know who that is, but Mom & Dad seem very excited about it, so he must be ok).  Ill be sure to give you all a play by play, so until then back to my busy work of growing.
Love
Tiny-T
