Three Months

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. We are doing great--Kevin is settled back in to teaching and I am really enjoying staying at home with Alex. He is getting such a personality and is so fun to play with and just watch him discover his world. He's getting so big now--no one believes that he's only 3 months old when they see him. He has learned to hold his head up when he's on his tummy now (which makes nap time a new challenge) and sometimes acts like he's ready to get down and run around. The next couple of months are going to bring lots of changes as he starts working on sitting, rolling, and teeth!

Also, I've uploaded a few short video clips for your viewing enjoyment...or if you can't get to sleep one night...

Month 2

Alex is two months old now! The time has really flown by--I think it helps that he is such a great baby. Not to brag (okay, to brag just a little), but he hardly ever fusses, eats like a champ, and often sleeps through the whole night. Such a good boy! He's very "smiley" now and is trying hard to laugh--especially when Kevin really gets him going. He and Oscar have gotten used to each other--Oscar just kind of ignores him except for the occasional lick or two. Now that Kevin's back at school, I'm at home with him during the day and we've kind of gotten our routine down. Basically, I'm at his beck and call and that's our routine! :) He still sleeps for the majority of the day so that lets me get a few things done--and he LOVES being in his car seat, so he's turing out to be a great shopping partner too (Kevin is SO relieved to give up that duty!).

He had his 2-month check up this week and is doing fine--we almost fainted when the nurse told us his weight: 13 pounds!! (Well, 12 pounds and 15 ounces to be exact...) And he's 24 inches long, too. A BIG boy! He's in the 75th percentile for weight, so the doctor's not concerned--says he's just going to be a big baby. Guess so! Everything else checks out fine as well--he got his first round of immunizations (boo) but did great. I think I was more upset than he was!

I suppose that's it for now. I won't list out all of his 'accomplishments' because at this stage, they're pretty much only exciting to us, haha. Of course, more pictures are posted at www.shivers.photosite.com, under Alexander James, Month 2.

Hope everyone is doing well--more next month!
