I just can't help myself...
"Aunt" Chrissy
As you can see, she was smitten with the big man immediately! Don't you just love to see people you love in a photo together?

We love Aunt Hannah!

just a few things...
- I always smell like breast milk no matter how many times I change the pads in my bra.
- I have to wear pads in my bra. I have to wear ugly nursing bras. I have to wear layers always to hide the said bra and pads.
- I still have to take my stinky prenatals every day.

He's my big boy...
all tuckered out
The Calvin Klein Jeans sweatsuit, that came with 2 matching onsies, is courtesy of Aunt Hannah. It came in a tiny garment bag...too much!
This photo is from about a month ago while my Mom was visiting. Same outfit, much smaller baby!

weight update
This was an almost smile. He's so close!
Shiloh decided he needed to join the photo shoot. Booker is definitely starting to notice him. His eyes get really big any time the dog comes near him. Thanks to Reagan for the super soft Toyota blanket. It was one of my birthday gifts. It's like a giant sweatshirt!Monday, January 14, 2008
This boy loves his Daddy...

A new toy!
So, back to my camera. It is so cool. I haven't quite figured it out yet but luckly I have a few picture-worthy subjects wandering around my house. This is my favorite shot from today:
It has video capabilities too so I'll work on that. The big man wasn't in the best of moods while I was messing with the camera earlier so I'll try to catch him later.

stuff I meant to post yesterday...
Here are my guys hanging on the couch after a long walk in Brackenridge Park. It was a lovely day, almost 70 degrees. We love San Antonio! The park will be really fun when Booker can help feed the ducks and go on the playground. He slept through most of this trip but he is starting to enjoy riding in his stroller.

2 month check-up
string bean boy basking in the heat lamp before shots
GOOD NEWS
8 lbs 5 oz (2 lb gain in 5 weeks)
22 inches long (1 inch growth in 5 weeks)
Ahead in motor skill development for a preemie (on track for a term baby his age)
BAD NEWS
Ear infection (treating with antibiotics)
Slight weight loss from 8 days ago (probably due to puking)
4 shots, 2 in each thigh (painful for Booker and Mommy!)
So, we'll have a cranky boy for another day or so and then he should start to feel better, stop puking and start gaining again. We'll go back for another weight check next Tuesday.

Sweet, sweet baby...
Here are the boys on the couch after dinner. He is facinated by daddy's face and glasses.
Look at all of that soft hair and the sweet little neck folds!
Say a little prayer...

Getting better all the time....
We are really looking forward to our 2 month check-up with Dr. Fitch on Tuesday. I'll make sure to post the new measurements when I have them. It's hard to believe that he's been here for 2 months already.
Ed is on vacation for the next 7 days. There will be a lot of sleeping in and pancake breakfasts! I hope to be able to get some cleaning and reorganization done while he's on diaper duty. Hopefully, we'll be able to go to Gruene for the day or at least the Witte Museum. Booker and I are both looking forward to having his full attention for a few days!
