Christopher

Here are a few updates on Christopher's growth. He now weighs almost 15 lbs and is 24 in. long. He's so strong, holding himself so straight. He also smiles and laughs like babies do. At dinner, he's in his chair on the table with us, and he thinks we're all their for him. He talks to us and smiles. Now, he's even noticing the movement of us putting food in our mouths. If he's not watching us, then he's very intent on lifting his foot up and staring at it like "Hey I've got something I can control, look at it, but no mommy don't tickle it." He He He, his toes are very ticklish. One of the best things is He's Sleeping Through The Night!!!!! Yeah. A good ten or eleven hour stretch usually. I know he's so little to be doing this, but I'm not complaining, and I'm not worried about him getting enough to eat. He's my chunky monkey.

This was Jeremy's church outfit that he wore til he was about 5 month old. Christopher is almost too big for it now.

He really is a happy baby.

Jeremy stills loves him too.

Jeremy's Tooth

Jeremy lost his first tooth the other day. He was very worried that he had done something wrong when he found it loose. I reassured him that this is what was supposed to happen. He wiggled is around for a few days and then we coaxed it out! He was excited then.

Jeremy

Jeremy's a Kindergartener now. He thinks he's all grown up. I thought I would be more sad over his starting school. But, no, I was fine, excited even. A few hours of peace and quiet, well and Christopher.

This is his friend, Nephi, who is also in his class.

He still has plenty of time for moments like this . . .

My Page Pet

Chubby Boy!!

We went to the doctor's yesterday for Christopher's two-week check up (although he's actually already 3 weeks old). At one week, he weighed in at 9 lbs and was 21 in. Two weeks later, yesterday, he weighs a whoppin' 11 lbs and is 23 in. Can you believe it? He's growing so fast. It's so different for me to have this round, plump baby. He's so adorable and we love him so much. What do you think?

Christopher's first real bath. He did pretty good, no screaming.

He likes his binkies, for the most part.

This is how he sleeps. One arm up by his head, mouth open, preferably on someone's chest.

Grandpa Hall came to visit and got all the attention!!!!

Jeremy is on a soccer team now. They are the Blue Knights. He is having lots of fun learning and playing. This was his first game. Go Team!!

So Happy!!!

Those last pictures were a little sad having to see him hooked up to so many tubes and such. Here are some more happy ones once we got him home.
