What I Learned My First Day--by John Tyler Rosser

May 8th, 2016. Mother's Day. It was my plan all along, to surprise my parents and come on Mother's Day. Even though it was 7 days past my due date, it was my plan all along. After a relatively quick labor (compared to my brother) of just 12 hours in the hospital, I met my mommy and daddy.

At first I was a little scared of the light and all the strange sounds and people.

But then when I was with my mommy and daddy I was okay again. Actually I cried very little. They can already tell my personality is pretty laid back and chill.

After spending time with my parents and getting my first meal I went to the nursery. I impressed everyone by already having my first bowel movement.
I weighed more than my big brother--oh yeah! 8 lbs 8 oz. And I'm 20 in. long. I'm already planning on beating him at soccer!
They put something weird on my eyes and gave me a little shot, but I was cool about it. Daddy was with me so I wasn't worried.
 Daddy said I looked like a Rappana. I guess the Rappana's have really long toes!

Then I got to meet my big brother and my Grand-daddy and Grand-mommy. I was told James was really excited when he first saw a picture of me!
My big brother was really excited about the water bottle that mommy let him share. But after a while he started to notice me and kept talking about my hat.

I already love my big brother. He gave me lots of hugs and kisses!

Then I met my Grand-daddy and Grand-mommy. They kept smiling at me...they must really love me! I'm told I get to meet my other grandparents in less than a week! I can't wait!


I needed to eat again so when everyone left mommy fed me. I learned that when mommy holds me, she is quiet and just looks at me with love.

 But when daddy holds me, he talks and talks and talks!

 I needed a rest after chatting with daddy! It's been a big day for me!
