Friends and family have long discussed who I look more like. It is pretty even between mom and dad, most everyone says they can see both in me. But, Mal sent a picture that settled the debate.
That’s mom when she was about my age. I think you can say I’m definitely my mother’s son!
Now that I have found my feet I’ve gotten pretty good at ring sitting. Awesome Aunt Becky told Mom and Dad all about how to make me practice. First I started the day with some cereal.
Anticipating my next bite…
Then I had to change into my Hokie attire (even though we lost it was as mom expected, terrible offensive line courtsey of our terrible offensive coordinator…I’m only 3 months and I could call a better game!)
Here are my first attempts at ring sitting
After we talked to Becky she said we could take the pillow away, so we did. I seemed to get stronger as the day went on.
We’re hoping another month and I’ll be sitting all by myself. Then the baby-proofing begins!
I’m really starting to like my cereal. Mom and Dad are feeding me such a small amount, I’m going to show them soon that I’m ready for more! I’ve also found my feet and they have become my favorite play thing, though not in these pictures, I almost have them in my mouth!
Later, I’m going to dress up in my favorite hokie attire while Mom and Dad cheer on the Hokies after I go to bed.
Holy moly! 16 weeks! This week has brought more changes like cereal, splashing in the bath, and finding our feet! Enjoy more cereal and playing pictures!
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!
