Duncan: 12 Weeks Old

Happy New Year! I'm a 12 week old cutie pie today!  :)

Today is also my Auntie Heather's birthday! I miss her so much. She was so good with me over Thanksgiving. I just love her!

Happy Birthday, Auntie! Can't wait to see you in February!  :)

So this week, I am officially moved into my crib. I have been sleeping in it since the very first time Ma & Pa moved me and haven't looked back since. I am getting better at sleeping in it for longer periods at night and Mommy & Daddy are almost ready to leave the nursery and go back to sleeping in their own room. I think Mommy has separation anxiety and is stalling about moving back to her room.  ;)

This last week has also been filled with loads of fun and more new faces! Our friend, Karen, was in town and came to visit me! She's very cool and she's going to be my future surfing instructor. I can't wait to hit the water with her. Daddy says she's awesome!  :)

I rang in the New Year at my new friend Jack's house and I was such a good baby that Mommy & Daddy were able to enjoy the party. We even stayed until after midnight! It was so much fun. Thanks, Jack, for sharing your toys & spare bassinet with me. I totally dug your tuxedo onesie. You're my hero!

Daddy had to go back to work yesterday and I miss him lots! It sure was nice to have him home for an entire week. I LOVE hanging out with him so much (even if it seems like he's always wearing the same Broncos sweatshirt when he's at home)! My favorite is sitting in his lap while he reads Hop on Pop to me.  :)

This week, I've discovered that I REALLY like to suck on my hands. My fists are constantly in my mouth and I am pretty much a drooly mess 100% of the time now. I have also discovered that I like to lick things. Everything. Tummy time has turned into "licking the tummy pillow" sessions for me. Mommy is not impressed with my laziness about raising my head, but I kind of enjoy just lying there and licking my frog pillow until it's a soggy mess. It's fun.  :)

I also like to try and lick the logos on my shirts:

But to keep Mommy happy, I still occasionally stick to the task at hand:

Well, the Christmas tree has been put away, all the decorations are boxed up and back in the garage, and we are ready to enjoy 2012. My maternal grandparents come back to the States in 5 days and I am SO excited to meet them when we go back to Colorado in February. They are gonna LOVE me, I'm sure of it.  :)

How can they not with my talent for making awesome faces?

Yea, I'm awesome. It's going to be a very fun 2012!!  :)

Love,
Duncan
