* and Mommy is rather boobilicious too!

Today I went for my first child development appointment at the hopsicle. The docs said that I am doing very well for my adjusted age (almost two months) and that I shouldn't need a physical therapist or occupational therapist. They do want Mommy to give me tons of tummy time but no tv, dvds or videos (oh well, i guess I won't be tuning in to the new season of Glee this fall) and to continue giving me boobie milk.

Weight: 9 pounds 14 ounces

that I am bubblicious indeed!

Sweet Potatoes Rule!

My Mommy tried a few spoonfuls of organic sweet potatoes with my milkie-milkie the other day. Despite what the photos show, I did swallow a few of them.

that this activity mat is cool!

My Mommy puts me on my activity mat in the morning. I love to grap at my "forest of rings" and my friend, Beatrice Butterfly.

my namesake is a Warrior-Queen!

Wangari Muta Maathai (born April 1, 1940 in Ihithe village, Tetu division, Nyeri District of Kenya) is a Kenyan environmental and political activist. She was educated in the United States at Mount St. Scholastics College and the University of Pittsburgh, as well as the University of Nairobi in Kenya. In the 1970s, Maathai founded the Green Belt Movement, an environmental non-governmental organization focused on the planting of trees, environmental conservation, and women's rights. In 2004 she became the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for “her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace.” Maathai was an elected member of Parliment and served as Assistant Minister for Environment and National Resources in the government of President Mwai Kibaki between January 2003 and November 2005.*
