Eleven weeks two days

Hello world!

My name is Franklin Richard Rigel, but my friends just call me Franklin. I'm nearly three months old. Even though that sounds little, you might be surprised just how big I really am. For instance: I can sit and stand up if someone holds my hands. My mama thinks I'm the cat's sleepwear when I do that, so I respond by looking modest. I have started rolling a little, especially in bed. I can roll fully onto my side in bed, but then I'm so tangled up I have to call for help. Luckily my mama just loves to rescue me, so it doesn't matter how many times I do it.

I really like to be awake and playing, but I'm not that interested in toys right now. Mostly I like playing with my mama. She does very interesting things like wiggling my toes, blowing on my tummy, kissing me, and tickling me. I find a lot of what she does quite hilarious.

But I also like to have a nice sleep. My mama showed my dad how to soothe me and he picked it up right away, to my surprise. I went right to sleep when he did it. Another favorite activity of mine is bathing. Whether it's with one of my parents or just by myself, that warm water and nice massage is the best. When it's time to get out, sometimes I'm so upset that I start crying.

The other day after eating (my most favorite activity, by far), my mama was holding me on her shoulder burping me, but I had to poo so bad that the force of it could not be contained by my diaper. Not even my clothes held it in. I got poo all over myself and all over my mama. We both had to change all our clothes--mama even had to change her bra. She laughed about it, but I was just relieved to get it all out.

Love,

Franklin
