Well since Canton has doubled his birth weight and it holding his head so well he has taken the next big step: cereal! We started with just a teaspoon, he’ll move to thicker fare soon enough!
Here’s the first bite
He definitely noticed the different texture and spoon, hence the bad faces…
But he soon wanted more!
He started to figure it out…
Then the mess came…
but he soon showed he loved it!
We’ll try a bit more in a few days! 🙂
Yesterday I had my very first skype session with Awesome Aunt Becky. I couldn’t “see” her too well, but I did get excited hearing her voice.
Later I just had fun playing with mom and dad (I had to wear the hat just for you aunt Becky). We are enjoying our time together and we’re looking forward to a three day weekend soon, and of course, my first VT football game!
I went to my first football tonight! Since I can hold my head so well and almost sit I upgraded in my stroller to sit facing outward, so I got to see a lot of the action! I also heard the marching band, which made me very happy. Lots of mom’s students came to see me and said I was sooooo cute! Mom and Dad were proud of me because I made it to halftime before I wanted to come home for my nighttime bottle. I see a lot of football games in my future! 🙂
I’m 15 weeks old! Big news: I’m offically in my size two diapers now. Mom and dad cannot believe how I have grown. I’m 14lbs 9oz and 25.5 inches! I’ve doubled my birth weight, can you believe it?
I’m throwing in a day 3 picture, just in case you forgot how little I was…
Dad and I bought mom some super cute New York Yankee onesies for her birthday. They aren’t really for her, but she got a lot of enjoyment out of them. Here are pictures of us gearing up for tonight’s game against those hated BoSox.
It has been a busy couple days for me, mom, and dad. Mom offically returned on work on Monday. She had a terrible time, but she is thankful she has Gayle to take care of me.
Wednesday mom and dad only had to work until 3, so we had time to celebrate my 14th week birthday with some tummy time, reading, and clapping games.
Later that day I saw my first rainbow…
Thursday was the BIG day. The first day of school and mom’s birthday. It was hard for mom to leave me, but she knows I am in good hands. Here are a few pictures of me at Gayle’s dad took for mom at lunch.
Later, when mom got home after a LONG day, we played and had a great time. Here are pictures of when we first saw each other after such a long day…
I capped off a long day with a relaxing bath…
Mom’s sorry she hasn’t had time to update for the last couple days, we have just been enjoying every minute we have together. Thanks for all the birthday wishes and loads of support for her first week back, she sure didn’t know how tough it would be to leave me!
Today was my first day with Mrs. Gayle! We had a great day together, she took such good care of me! We had fun playing pat-a-cake and I loved watching the boys play. Keep mom in your thoughts though, she pretty much cried the whole day…luckily she has good friends to help her through, not to mention a great dad!
Mom heads back to work on Monday so she is soaking up all the me-time she can. We took a trip to Target today and I got a new toy that makes noise when I throw it around. I also got to meet Jonah and went to the park (pictures to come later).
I also got a new mirror for the car that plays lots of music and will teach me my colors.
Mostly I just love when Mom is her silly self, here is a video of us playing together. Send Mom some nice thoughts on Monday, she is going to have it much rougher than I will!

Today, on my 13th week birthday, I tipped the scales at 13 lbs! I spent the day playing and recording a special message to a special person I miss a bunch! 🙂
Hi Aunt Becky! from Mike Murphy on Vimeo.
Canton has done a lot in the last couple days. Yesterday we had to go ‘back to school’ shopping and he slept THE ENTIRE TIME, definitely a big change!
He has also grown to 24.5 inches…
Gotten even stronger lifting his head and rolling…
and maybe, just maybe…teething??? He has been just not himself for the last couple days. He has also been drooling like crazy and is hard to feed—not the Canton we know. So after some discussion between us and talking to my mom, we thought…it is worth a shot. His gums are a little swollen, but we don’t feel any eruptions yet, so who knows. He loved the teething ring, but he’s not cranky at all this morning…he definitely keeps us on our toes!
