Living the Busy Spillman Life

I'm now a little over six weeks old, and I'm realizing what a busy family I was born into. It's really fun and really exhausting all in one. My mom discovered the Baby Bjorn a few weeks ago and we haven't sat still since. Above, you can see me at my first high school football game. I actually was awake during most of it...I was a big fan of the cowbells behind us.
I'm looking pretty stellar in my new rugby, aren't I? I had to look good for all my parent's friends coming over one night. There was a pretty cute girl my age there though!
The cute girl is next to me, Sophie. Her mom is Heather. My competition is Lleyton. His mom is Kelly. We all had a good time...until we had to sit without our parents. I wasn't having that.
Below is my Target trip with Lleyton. I'm really learning how to shop!
Dad was reading the Purdue football newspaper to me in this picture. I must admit...it really wasn't that exciting. Of course, I'll probably pretend to be interested because Dad really likes it.

Dad's best friend, Josh, came over to meet me this past week. Boy, is he tall. I had to look really high to see him smile for the picture.

I didn't get the memo about wearing pink for this photo shoot. Usually Mom clues me in.

My Grandma from South Carolina came to see me this weekend. We had a lot of fun together. I really enjoyed hearing her whistle to me on the back porch.

One Month Old

Well, can you tell I'm one month old already? My how time flies. Life's been so busy with eating and sleeping! I went to the doctor this week for my month-old check-up. I weigh 12 lbs now and am really healthy. Mom and Dad were very happy. I think I made them even more happy on Friday when I smiled for the first time. They are still trying to get a picture of it, but I'm making it a little difficult. I figure I should keep the smile undercover until I really need it.Here I am sleeping. Mom and Dad think it's so funny when I fold my hands like this. What else are you supposed to do with them?
Here I am sleeping again. Mom just wore me out picking out a scrapbook from Michael's. I'm so tired I can't even keep my pacifier in.

Four Weeks Old Today

Can you tell that Grammy and Grandpa love me? They just can't get enough of me!
My dad is already training me for football practice. Above, he's strengthening my neck muscles by doing the airplane (and my lung muscles because I'm not really enjoying it). Below, he's making me do push-ups. Those are much more enjoyable.
Below, you'll see my friend, Cora. She's only two weeks older than me. Of course, I'm a bit bigger. My mom enjoyed spending time with her mom, Amy. They've actually been friends since elementary school and now live in the same city and go to the same church.

More Family Time

I got to meet my Uncle Dave last week. He loved playing with me. He came all the way from South Carolina to see me. Can't wait to see him again! My Grandma and Grandpa Spillman just love holding me. I was asleep most of the time they were here, but that let my parents enjoy Grandpa's famous ribs. They are so wonderful!

My big brother, Brutus, is really enjoying being with me...whenever I make a noise, he has to come sniff me and make sure I'm okay. My parents gave Brutus a pizza to play with when I came home. I think he really liked it.
