I am 1 month old!!!

Happy 1 Month Day to me!



I celebrated by kicking the monkey on my activity mat . . . (!?!)

Dancing around the house with mom in my Baby Bjorn . . .

Cuddling with my stuffed dog . . .

. . . and finally riding in the car to visit Dr. D. I passed my 1 month check-up with flying colors. I now weigh 9 pounds, 1.5 ounces

Happy 1 Month Day to Me!

A Few of My Daily Activities

It's hard to be a newborn! Sometimes I get pushed around the neighborhood in my stroller . . .
It's a nice way to take a nap.




Sometimes I play with Mr. Caterpillar . . .

Funny . . . his mirrored face looks like mine!

Sometimes I hang out with assorted furry friends . . .

They're nice to look at, but they certainly don't say much.

Sometimes I try and lift my head . . .

. . . with my Mom's encouragement. "Lift your head Lucas!" she cries, over and over. Geez. Give the guy a break!

These are just a few things that fill up my day :)

Father's Day 2008

I spent Father's Day this year with my Daddy and my Mommy and my Lolo and Lola and my Uncles Carlo and Carl and Auntie Archelle (she's taking the picture).

Check out my new outfit . . .

My Uncles and I were all wearing yellow!
Uncle Carlo looking scared again.

My First Bath

Here I am taking my first tub bath . . . It'll take some getting used to!
It was really nice to be clean, however. Even my fingers tasted better.

My Daily Exercise

Tummy Time!

My first family picture

Weekend

Hmmm, what should I do today...
Maybe I'll go to the salon?

Good call!

Let's party...

The Abulencias

On my first few days at home, I finally got to meet my Filipino family.

Lolo and Lola (Filipino for Grandpa and Grandma)
Uncle Carl (not my most photogenic moment)
Auntie Young (she feeds me well)
Uncle Carlo (I think I scared him)
Auntie Archelle (don't I look cute?)

Home Sweet Home

On Day 5, I was finally free of the tanning bed (bilirubin box for jaundice) and allowed to leave the hospital and go home :)

Melloh Yellow

Sorry I've been away. On day 4 of life, while I was prepping for yet another photo shoot, I noticed a pale yellow hue to my skin. Was this too much cheap self tanner? I called my agent (nurse) for advice. She insisted I spend 2 days at the tanning salon (phototherapy for jaundice). Fortunately, I stopped by the agency (pediatrician) today and was complimented on my tan (full recovery from jaundice) and allowed to finish the shoot. Here are some highlights...
I'm not sure why my Dad gave me spock ears here...

An update on my Mom

Thanks for the all the fan mail. Many of you have asked about my favorite person in the whole world, my Mom (sorry Dad). Mom is recovering from her surgery quite nicely. Hopefully very soon she will be ready for a family picture.


I love you Mom!!! Here is a kiss for you...

Chick Magnet, confirmed

I'd like you all to meet girlfriends Tracy and Melinda. For those keeping score, that would be 5 in 2 days. Sweet!

Chick Magnet

Today I met Grandma and Grandpa Melloh... ...and then the ladies started arriving. This is my new girlfriend Yuko,

and my other new girlfriend Menaka,

and yet another new girlfriend, Tammy.
Don't worry about Andy, the guy next to her; I can take him.

Awake!

Pictures!

It turns out I love to sleep...just like my parents! I basically slept all day. Above is a picture of me sleeping.

Here is another picture of me sleeping. And below is my Dad holding me while I'm, you guessed it, sleeping.

I did open my eyes a couple of times today, but not for the camera...even though my Dad took 200 pictures!

My Birth

Hello, my name is Lucas Michael Melloh. I was born just over an hour ago at 10:43am. Apparently, I am a healthy baby boy although I am not very happy at the moment as I can't seem to stop crying. I weigh 6 pounds, 14 ounces and I'm 20 1/2 inches tall. My Dad will hopefully have time to send some pictures of me between diaper changes later today. My Mom is a little tired but quite happy about my "exceedingly smooth" birth. Thanks for all your nice thoughts and prayers!

Oh, this is my first blog (obviously), so I'm not exactly sure how this works. I think you can say hello in the Comments section. Its nice to meet you all!

Love,

Lucas
