I’m not sure what happened, but I have a whole stock pile of completely adorable pictures… so there are lots of them this week! We’ve been busy. A week and a half ago, we took our last sunny boat ride of the fall. Somehow those pictures didn’t make it on here. JT enjoyed laying onContinue reading “Pictures Galore”

This week I went back to work. I only work Thursdays and Fridays, so it’s not quite the commitment as full time. Also, JT gets to stay home, snuggled in bed, when I leave for work. He wakes up to a full day of fun with either Dad or Grandma, so it’s a pretty sweetContinue reading “Back to Work”

This week JT has been extra hungry… that can mean a growth spurt, a big milestone, or both. It turns out, this week JT figured out that he has hands and started looking at them and using them to suck on… AND he figured out how to roll from his tummy to his back. Fortunately,Continue reading

This week JT turned two months old. He had his checkup at the pediatrician’s office and was proclaimed a healthy boy. He’s 13 pounds (75th percentile) and 24 1/4 inches long (90th percentile). He was very brave for his big shot and only screamed for a minute or so after the nurse pulled the needleContinue reading “Two Months Old”

Recently JT discovered that there is something else in our house. Let’s see… there’s the lady that feeds him, the guy that plays with him, and something else. This week JT has been closely watching this other thing. He sees it go by, all black and blurry, and then it moves in closer. JT alsoContinue reading “It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s…”

As some of you may know, Jim and I absolutely love our Flip camcorder. (We both bought one for each other for Christmas so we could take videos of JT!) Of course, we’ve taken many small videos of important events in JT’s life so far: coming home from the hospital, on the beach at BanksContinue reading “Flip Clips, a New Binky, and Mr. Personality”

My parents sent me their pictures from our camping trip and I couldn’t help adding these two… This is how we get Slider to go swimming… by carrying her in. JT was fast asleep in his life jacket, so he crashed on the picnic table for awhile.

First up, vital stats update: JT weighs 12 pounds and is 23 inches long. So much for all of those cute newborn-size clothes, and we ditched the infant insert in the car seat. We kept saying all week that he just seemed bigger, and sure enough, he is! This was my 25th consecutive summer thatContinue reading “Camping and other updates”

This week JT is five weeks old, and my brother is FORTY. (Happy birthday, Jeff!) Since Jim is back at work, I’ve had to put the other members of our household to work… here’s JT helping with the laundry. Slider is in charge of supervising play time. Here she is watching JT have some tummyContinue reading “Smiles”

Two significant things happened today: Jim went back to work, and JT is one month old. He weighs 10 lbs 10 oz and is 22.5 inches long. That is a gain of 3 pounds since he left the hospital! We worked in a 1-month photo shoot once we got home from shopping… that’s my littleContinue reading “Back to Work & One Month”
