Bounce with me now!

Update time!  Michael is now 2 1/2 months old.  He had his 2 month check up recently and I must say, he wasn't a happy camper.  Why?  He had his first shots =( Poor baby.  He was enjoying his time at the doctor's office until they stuck him!  In other news, he now weighs 12 pounds!  Here's a few snaps of him in his(Claire's) bouncy seat and in Aunt Laurie's Elmo towel.  Enjoy!  

Just me and my mommy!

I got bored with my camera so I decided to be in a shot with Michael=)  I look silly but oh well, what can ya do?  Michael was a little focused on the bright and colorful Christmas lights=D. 

 

 

 

There's also a picture from him just hanging out on the couch stretching away and also a picture of him sleeping peacefully in the swing.  I've come to the conclusion that if he could he'd live in that swing!  =P Enjoy!

Michael tries out some Christmas photos..keyword-tries.

I've been trying to snap some photos of Michael in his cute little Christmas outfits but it just doesn't seem to work.  I got some shots of him in his oversized sweater-but he wasn't looking.  Then I tried the "My 1st Christmas".  You can tell for yourself what occurred there, haha.   

Peek-a-boo, I see you!

Michael was a little skeptical at first when using the jungle gym that his cousin Claire gave him, but now he loves it!  I shot some photos of him hanging out in there-I wish you could here him talking to his friend Morty Moose!!   

Yay for a new camera and smiles!!!

So we decided to get a new camera--one that'll actually work!  Michael is doing so well, I can't believe how big he's getting.  Last time at his one month checkup he weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz.; just opposite of his birth weight of 6lbs. 8 oz.  I'm sure by now he's gained at least two pounds!  He measures at 20 3/4 inches-which I think he weighs more than that.

In other wonderful news, Michael has begun to smile!  It's so much fun to watch him smiling when you talk to him.  I'm still not sure who he looks like quite yet-I see both DJ and I.  However, Michael definitely looks like DJ did as a child.

Michael's next checkup is January 5th-so we'll get to see how much he weighs then!  Here are some pictures--a few of many to come--that I shot of him on the couch today.  He's holding his head up quite well, too!

I could just gobble you up!

Yesterday was baby Michael's first Thanksgiving!  He was just a little fussy and wouldn't let Mommy or Daddy eat but luckily we had DJ's family helping and willing to hold Michael while we ate=).  Here's a picture of Michael in Claire Bear's "Thankful for Mommy" onesie in which she wore last year!  And if this works out-there's a video of Michael.  If it doesn't work then I will try to do YouTube and create a website there for videos! Here is also a picture of him falling asleep in his swing:)

One month update-Michael now weighs a whopping 8lbs 6oz.- just opposite of what he was when he was born!  He is 20 3/4 inches long-but I think he is just a little bit longer.  His next visit will be in another month at his 2month check up.

Late Post--Visit from Grandma CaCa and Aunt Laurie

Okay-it's been a while since I've updated-my apologies. The weekend that Michael was born we had a special visit from Grandma CaCa and Aunt Laurie. We took some pictures although Aunt Regina thinks they aren't of great quality like her pictures are=P.

This weekend (Halloween to be exact) also marked the falling off of Michael's stump finally! Boy oh boy did that thing stink!

Here are some pictures from the visit weekend...more pictures to come as soon as I find some new batteries! =)
