An exciting new first!

The boy smiled at me yesterday- on purpose! Fortunately I had my new iPhone so I got a blurry photo of it. YAY! However, at the moment just to spite me he started crying so I must run.

Curious minds want to know: what happened at the docs?

Why what good timing you have! We just got back and we have all the stats you could want and more! Height: 22 inches = 55-60th % (born 20.5 inches) Weight: 9 lbs 4 oz = 25th % (born 7 lbs 7 oz) Head size: 38 1/2 cm = 55th % (born with head) So […]

What you’ve been waiting for: Week 4 review

Aha – So we have made it to and now partially into week 4… and the crowd goes wild (well, in my head they do, and that’s good enough for me.) It’s been an exciting week — Jackson is bigger every day, seems to be acquiring new skills AND Jackson had visits from both sets […]

We do get to sleep occasionally

Jackson’s had a few days lately in which he made things a little tough on himself (and us) by fighting off the sleep. I’m pretty sure I know where he gets this from, and it’s not from the parent who can fall asleep in an airplane while it’s still taxiing. Nonetheless, we occasionally get the […]

Well we’ve made it past 1 week and I’m calling it a massive success. I’m not saying that Mike or I look good at the moment – unless you have a penchant for people with bags under their eyes who can’t make coherent sentences, and hey, who am I to judge if you do – […]

Feets!

A few minutes after Jackson was born, the nurse presented us with this certificate. Baby feet!

New baby first doc visit 100% successful

Jackson had his new baby first visit to the doctors today. Sadly he was late for his first visit. I’d like to say it was his fault — some sort of diaper breach or mass hysteria or hiding under the couch so we couldn’t find him or something — but no, it was the total […]

Jackson is in the house

We brought Jackson home from the hospital last nite!!! We had brilliant plans of writing amusing and witty text to accompany the super cool logo my brother Jason made for Jackson in preparation for his birth, but then that was before we had to get up and feed a small person every 3 hours and […]
