Exercising with Dad...

Is that a smile?

We have been waiting for what seems like forever to see a "real smile". For the last few weeks Grandma has seen many smiles... strangers and children have seen smiles... but we have not been deemed worthy of a smile. I think last night we finally checked that off our "your baby is not so smart unless he can do these things" list and saw a few smiles. Matt even had one all to himself. HURRAY!

A boring Tuesday

A few photos to keep everyone in the loop.. not much going on here... just hanging with the baby and the animals :)

Where is the Baby Annoucement...

Everyone sends out a baby annoucment... right? Well, I cannot send out just any old baby annoucment... I have to "create" one... sigh. I have been trying to get the perfect photos to finish my creation and it is becoming obvious I should just send a cute photo to Costco and be done with it. When you have an "active" baby getting a great photo is not an easy task. For example here is a great shot I got of his feet.

Anyhow, keep your mailbox clear, there is an annoucment coming soon... I promise!

Has anyone seen Matt?

Well, with the water still gushing into the backyard, we figured it was not water run off from the patio being such a well built structure... it was a broken water pipe. Matt spent the weekend digging up the messy puddle and working to fix the gusher. I spent the weekend at Mom and Dad's house enjoying the running water (and great cable.. YAY!). So.. as of Monday we have water... AND water pressure. HORRAY! So, if anyone need to bury anything large we have the hole to do it!

He weighs how much??

So, the bet was that Axel would be about 8 lbs... 8.5 if we were having a good day. Well, the chubbers weighs in at 9lbs 6 oz today at the the doctor!
yikes!!

4 weeks and a ton of milk...

Axel is now 4 weeks and growing faster ever day... also eating more and more every day! WOW! Who knew such a small child could put away so much food. I think we are at the top of the scale for oz consumption for his age (but he is not that big!), so it will be interesting to see how much he weighs once we go to the doctor on Monday!
