Jumperoo Fun


Drew loves to stand up. We can hardly ever get him to sit on our lap because he tries to stand instead. After his two month appointment where we saw him stand so good for the doctor, we thought he might like to play in his jumperoo that we had been saving until he was bigger. That night Mitch got it put together so we could test it out. Mitch was so excited he almost woke Drew from his nap to see him play. Once we were able to put him in it we saw that he LOVED it. He just sits and bounces around and can even turn himself in circles. He's so big and capable that we sometimes forget that he isn't even ten weeks old yet.

Two Month Appointment

Today was Drew's two month appointment. He continues to be a big boy weighing in at 13 lbs. 12 oz. which puts him in the ninetieth percentile. For height he is off the charts at 25.25 inches. While the doctor was checking him out she went to move him and realized that he was trying to stand up. She let him stand for quite awhile and was amazed at his muscle tone and head control. She said he is a very healthy boy. It was funny that during most of the appointment Drew was shooting the doctor huge smiles since she would be the one to order his shots for him. Luckily he didn't know what was about to happen. It took a minute for him to register the pain after the shots and then he let everyone in the room know that he was not very happy about what had just taken place.

First Superhero PJs


Mitch has been waiting for the day when he could share his love of comic books with his son. A few weeks ago we were shopping and Mitch saw a wall of kids character pjs and decided he HAD to have something for Drew. The smallest size they had was 12 months so I sadly informed Mitch that it would be too big for Drew right now. (He's a big boy, but not that big.) Mitch insisted that it would fit and that we were buying it. After washing it we decided to try it on and Mitch was right, it did fit. He was so excited to see his little man dressed in something adorned with a superhero. As you can see from the picture, Drew doesn't yet share Daddy's enthusiasm. I know that this is only the beginning. Our house will soon be filled with father and son's comic book toys and clothes.
