Well, all good things come to an end! Grandma Shore came to visit me for three weeks. Well maybe she also came to help mommy recover for her C-section too, but regardless, she needed to go back to Japan to be with Grandpa Shore. But while she was here, I grew and changed a whole bunch. She got to see my brand new belly button, my smiles when someone sings to me, my thumb sucking (yup, I found it!), and my becoming a US citizen. Yes, you heard that right . . . in another day or so, I will have my very own Social Security number and passport. I didn't really like the getting the passport picture part of things . . . mom and dad kept trying to wake me up with a cold wash cloth, tickling my toes, etc. but I guess we finally got the picture. And while Grandma was here, I grew a whole bunch. I am almost 10 1/2 pounds, and I grew an inch and a half. Pretty good for my first month! Well, I am going to take a little rest, but I'll write more soon!
