My First Moment

I have been brewing in my mommy's belly since Thanksgiving. My due date was August 16th, but my Daddy was hoping for his birthday, August 8th. He thought it would be cool to be born on the opening day of the Olympics- 08/08/08, but I tricked him. I decided to come out on 08/17/08 at 3:32PM. If you look closely at the math, I really did honor his wishes of the number 8 and the Olympics. You know 8 is my Dad's favorite number. If you look at my birth date and time real close, you will see what I was doing.

Year Born = 2008 known as 08

Month Born: The 8th month known as 08

Day: 17 otherwise know as 1+7= 08

Time Born: 3:32 otherwise known as 3+3+2= 08

I was born on the same day Michael Phelps won his eighth gold medal in the 2008 Olympics

When I took my first breath, the nurses put me on my Mommy's belly with a ski hat with the words "Vail Baby." I was really excited to see my mom. My eyes were wide open and I could see her tears of joy. My Dad says he has never seen someone fall in love so quickly! I was really happy that my Mom took such great care of me in her belly. She didn't even take any drugs in delivery, so I was bright eye, bushy tailed and ready for milk.

The room I was delivered in had a great view of Vail ski mountain. My Daddy said people pay big money for a view like that. I do not know much about that, but I am excited to ski that mountain someday soon! DaPaw, my Mommy's daddy said he is ready to take me skiing.

If you can believe it, all four of my grand parents were in the waiting room when I came flying into the world. I feel really lucky. I like them a lot, but I have to tell you - they have funny "flashes" that come out of these funny small boxes they hold up to their eyes all the time. They keep calling it a picture, but I have no idea what they are talking about. They just keep doing it over and over!

I need some rest, but I will tell you about the rest of my first week really soon!
