The First Week

Hello, everyone-

It's me, Harris! So glad you wanted to come check out my view of the world. I do have a lot of time right now to think about things, as my schedule each day consists of eating and sleeping. So far the first week has been quite a whirlwind! It was almost exactly a week ago that I decided it was time for me to leave the safety of the womb and journey out into the dark and scary world. But I was curious to put faces to the voices I kept hearing. So on to better things. The trip itself was kind of chaotic. Turns out I needed a detour, as I couldn't fit through the doorway. Everyone is saying I'm a big baby. But they don't mean that in a bad way, like I'm too sensitive. Apparently I'm kind of large for my age, but I say they just make the clothes too small. So that was last Tuesday. The hospital stay was kind of fun, lots of things to see and learn. I met my grandma and Paul, and Uncle Hugh, Aunt Cassie and cousin Shapleigh (she wasn't interested in me at all) while there. Oh, here's a picture of me from then:

Check out those guns!! I look a bit different now, more like my dad every day. He's a good looking dude. I sooo have him wrapped around my teeny tiny figure. Here's the proof:

Here's a picture of Mom. She feeds me, so I think I'll keep her around.

We went to a new place on Friday, called "home". It's been interesting there so far. I like the room they keep me in. I do have to share with 4 other small creatures. I haven't had much interaction with them. They came and sniffed at me- I guess that is the usual greeting in this new world. Boris, the big one, is having trouble sharing the changing pad. No worries, there's room enough for 2! I haven't seen much of the beautiful black one, Tasha. She sleeps a lot on the couch, and I hang out in other areas. Delaney is really nice. She comes to check on me and seems the most willing to hang with me. Dashell hasn't been around much. He also likes the changing pad (I must say, I don't see the appeal- I don't have the best time when I'm there). He seems a bit subdued, so I'm waiting for him to show his true colors. We both kind of squeak at times. So that's a bit on the new hang-out. We'll see how I like the stay here.

Geez, I still have so much to go over! First bath, first walk, etc. But I need to save some things for later, to keep you coming back. I like having people interested in me. So feel free to leave comments (comments about my beauty will get faster responses). Not sure how often I'll be able to update, my schedule is kind of up in the air right now. But I'm sure there will be pictures (Mom is kind of crazy with the picture taking). Till then!

Love,

Harris
