Hanukkah - Take Two

Theo saw mom cooking some latkes tonight, so he wanted to make some of his own.

Then he had to one up mom by balancing a latke on his head.

Happy Hanukkah!

It looks like he's not quite sure what to make of his cuddle mirror yet, but he warmed up to it this morning as he admired his smiles in it.

Is that chair getting smaller?

No, silly, Theo's getting bigger.

I think his feet are the only thing that haven't grown.

Updates

Quite a few changes have occurred now that Theo is 2 months old!  Here are a few that we have captured on camera.

At 24 inches, Theo has exceeded the length capacity of his Moses basket and has officially moved into his crib.

Theo's first night in his crib.  Greg daringly used the flash for this photo, but since the crib is so comfy, Theo didn't even notice.

Since Theo has been doing so well holding his head up, I thought we would try out his Prince Lionheart chair.  He hasn't mastered it yet, but he held his head up long enough to take this photo.

One of his (and Greg's) favorite evening activities is reading.  He even follows the pictures from page to page.

Theo has FINALLY started to tolerate his swing.  I think it's mostly the elephants hanging above that he is interested in, but he enjoys it nonetheless.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Theo loves watching Mom cook, so it was no surprise he wanted to watch her prepare the bird.   He was in awe that the turkey weighed more than him.

Once the turkey came out of the oven, he was ready to chow.  Next year he'll be ready for turkey and all the trimmings.

He did still manage to stuff himself, and in typical Thanksgiving fashion, he had to unsnap his pants after dinner.

7 week check-up

Theo visited the pediatrician on Tuesday and there was good news and bad news.  The goods news is he gained 3 pounds in the last 4 weeks making him a whopping 11.2 pounds!  He also grew 3 inches since he was born which puts him at 23 3/4 inches and in the 90-95th percentile for height.

The bad news:

Theo had his very first vaccinations.  He was very brave and only cried for a few minutes after receiving the shot. He already forgot about it by the time I got his pants back on, with the only reminder being his Rugrats bandaid.

Zadie is how old?!?!

I think that deserves a smile.

Happy Birthday, Zadie!!
