I'm Getting Bigger

I have been growing soooo much lately! My neck and legs are getting stronger and stronger. I am starting to use my voice, both when I am happy and sad. I laugh-grunt when I smile and I like to shreik a bit when I cry. I am a very happy baby for the most part :).

Week 4

My daddy is back to work and I have been spending a lot of time with my mommy and my Grandma Royce. I have been going for walks and even went out to lunch one day! I went to the Dr. and I weigh 6 lbs 13 oz.

Week Three

I have been growing a lot this week and smiling more and more. It takes a lot of work, but I can move my head from one side to the other during tummy time. I have met a lot of mommy and daddy's friends this week.

Week Two

I went out on the town for the first time this week. I went to my cousin Tyson's 4th Birthday Party at the Children's Museum in the Seattle Center. It was very fun, but I was sooo tired that I slept most of the time. Tyson had a lot of fun with his friends. I also saw the Dr. this week and he said that I am doing really good. I am 5 lbs. 12 oz. and growing.

My First Week

I have been spending lots of quality time with mommy and daddy this week. I eat a lot, get my diaper changed all of the time (which I hate!) and sleep. I like to sleep during the day, that way I can be awake and alert at night. I am starting to smile, usually right before I fall asleep and just for a second. I am developing quite a cute little personality if I do say so myself.

I was born on January 29th, 2009!

My name is Elan Claire Taniguchi. I was born on January 29th, 2009 at 10:18pm. I was 18 inches long. I was healthy and very alert. I had lots of hair - brown with light highlights. I cried for just a minute or two, then was calm and alert as I met my family. I met my mom and dad, my cousin Tyson, My uncles Aaron, Woody and Jake and all of my Grandmas and Grandpas. It was a very exciting day. I stayed in the hospital with my mom and dad for two days then went on my first ride in the carseat. I cried at first, but as soon as the car started, I calmed down and slept the whole way home.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of Elan Claire Taniguchi!
