How 'bout a few more...

We still haven't figured out what color his eyes are gonna be... some days they look green-ish brown, others just brown, others just hazel... So who knows! In this pic, they look kinda blue... Hmmm...

So, he doesn't like "sitting like a baby" anymore... He insists on trying to sit himself up all the time. Here, he's trying to do just that--and falling over to the side doing it. Such a big boy already!

Such a concerned look... But how 'bout them cheeks, huh?! Doncha just want to eat them up! SOOO CUTE! I love the chubby cheeks! He's stolen that title from the Stephin-Bunny... "Chubby Cheeks!" So cute!
Now that's the happy baby I know and love! He's at the point now where if he sees Jeremy or me, he'll recognize us and smile... Aww, it melts your heart!
That's his "duh" face. Has it's own kinda cuteness to it. Those cheeks, man... Definitely from Daddy!

Now we're just waiting for his hair to grow back. He's been losing it around the front of his head, but it's kinda starting to return... slowly but surely. It will be interesting to see what color it ends up being. It looks brown when it's all down around his head, but much lighter when he's had a bath and it's all sticking up in every direction. So who knows...

7 Weeks! (Now I'm caught up!)

6 Weeks Old (I'm a week behind...)

Better late than never!



He's liking his swing more and more. Sometimes he'll even fall asleep in it. Just don't expect it to occupy him when he's in his cuddly mood. He insists on being held then.

This pic kinda scares me... I don't know why... but it's just.... not.... normal? I dunno. It's cute. A little TOO cute... ;-)

More pics coming soon!

I promise!

Just wanted to tell y'all that.

I've been busy! And the camera's dead.... hafta find the charger before I can move the pics to the lappy and then onto the blog. Phew!

More Cute Pics

These are about a week old. You can see how his clothes are already too small (0-3 months). And now his clothes are too big (3-6 months). At some point, they'll fit just right!

SOOO Cute!

Just had to share...

These are from this morning. He's 1 Month, 1 week old.

And now he's waking up. Enjoy!

Next generation of movie posters!

Very cool stuff... basically, it's a 3D hologram... or something.

Ya gotta see it to get it. So check this out:

Here's the article that 'splains it all:

There are more examples floating around... I'll hafta check YouTube and see if someone posted it there, since the XYZ-RGB site had a bandwidth surge and pulled it.

He slept through the night!

Well... kinda. Almost! We went to church last night, stopped at the grocery store, and then came home. Watched the news a bit, and Jeremiah fell asleep around 11. So we went to bed.

When he started crying in the night, I woke up to take care of him and thought, "Wow, I'm not dead tired... weird." The sun wasn't coming up, though, so I knew it couldn't be too late. However, when I checked my phone, it was almost 5 am! Wow! And then he slept 'til 8:30 or so (he actually woke up at 7:30, and since Jeremy's alarm had been going off, I tried to let Jeremy take that shift, but no amount of hitting or kicking would get him out of bed... apparently, Jeremiah could wait, because he fell back asleep.)

I won't call it officially, but that's the longest he's slept yet! Ah, things are getting better... :-)

New Swing

So we bought Jeremiah a swing. It's pretty neat, in that the seat is just his car seat--it snaps into the swing, and off ya go!

Only thing is... I can't tell if he likes it or not... What do you think?

"Check me out, ladies!"

"I am LARGE and IN CHARGE! You know you want soma dis!" :-)

My Big Boy!

Went to the doctor's today for his one month check-up. He weighed in at 12 lbs, 2 oz, up 13 oz from the last time he was weighed (only 5 days ago!), and has lengthened out 1.25 inches since he was born. Look at that belly! :-)

Everything else is going well. He's still nursing "part-time" and getting formula the rest, but obviously it's not doing him any harm--the kid's a weed! There's a lot more to that for another time... It's complicated. I'm hoping to get some good news soon...... keeping fingers crossed!

Hopefully, birth announcements will be in the mail this week! Keep any eye out!

Super Bowl Sunday... Jeremiah is 4 weeks old!

Well folks, it's Super Bowl Sunday... I'm not really sure which team I want to win - guess I don't care as much since the Steelers aren't playing. Interesting that this year's teams include two black coaches (first time a black coach has made it to the Super Bowl) and both coaches are Christians. I saw an interview this morning on the NFL Network with Herm Edwards interviewing both coaches. They mentioned their Christian faith -- speaking of which -- did anyone watch the live interviews of the Hall of Fame inductees yesterday? No? Well, I did... The best was probably Michael Irvin, former WR for the Dallas Cowboys talking about his faith -- and thanking my man T.D. Jakes down there in Dallas for being his spiritual advisor. He really wrapped his faith into much of his 30 minute Q&A. Bet it didn't make Sports Center last night, but oh well.

Now let's talk about how cute my kid is? :) He's been smiling since the day he was born and I tried to capture that a little bit this morning in bed at the 4-week mark! We'll find out how much he weighs tomorrow. I won't be there -- I'm flying out to California in the morning and then over to Denver Tuesday evening before coming back to DC on Thursday. I put off meetings last quarter for work since I didn't want to risk being away for Jeremiah's birth. My guess is that he weighs in at 11lbs, 10ozs tomorrow (he weighed in at 11-5 last Wednesday). Remember, he weighed 10-11 at birth, dropped to 9-5 the first week and then started gaining.

Hope you enjoyed the pics!
