Fat Lip

Edy was running full speed down a back alleyway that was unpaved. Lots of big rocks and gravel. To her credit, she ran about 100 yards before she caught a sandal edge and splayed out face first, sacrificing some knee, hand, and inside of her mouth the the skin gods. She also recovered really well, only a couple of minutes before she was laughing again.

Edy @ Swim Class

Of course she won't do this when we take her swimming, but she'll just jump at the blink of an eye in class.

He's Our Baby

Edy was telling her friend that was over today about Edison. She told her "You can touch him, but he is our baby. You can't take him home with you. He's our baby." At least she's not trying to sell him to the gypsies, at least not consciously.

He's not shrinking

Almost 15 lbs at 2 months old. We've got to look it up, but I don't think Edy hit 15 lbs until about 5 months. I think he is about half her weight right now.

One of My Favorite Ways...

to have Edison nap. On this occasion, he took a two and a half hour nap while laying on my chest. Awesome. The napkin is from where Mom served me lunch. Joy. The only downfall is that at some time, even Dad has to go to the potty.

A Lot of Catching Up

So we got a new camera, which means the iPhone has not been the primary photographic documentation; which means I have to sit in front of the computer blah blah blah excuse excuse. Here are some recent pics and happenings...

Momma and Edison. He is almost consistently holding his head up on his own at 6 weeks.

Our Baby is Growing Up

Today was the first day of Zoo Camp. Edy went all by herself for 3 hours to the zoo and did lots of cool things. It was the first time she went by herself some place for that long where we/she didn't already know someone.

She told Mom she wanted her to go with her to camp, and then she took all of ten minutes of having fun to realize she didn't need Mom around. She's all grown up already. :-(

A Couple of Firsts

Last night, Dad got to put Edison to sleep for the night for the first time. He downed 6 oz of fresh Momma's Milk before zoning out for 8 hours! - another first! I won't pretend to think there was any causation, at least not publicly.

Unfortunately, he went out at 8, and Mom and Dad didn't get to bed until 11, so we didn't get the 8 hours of sleep, but still promising!

Look Dad! Ladybugs!

Pic Fix

Sorry I haven't been posting more we got a new camera and we have been taking photos on hat one instead of my phone.

He's getting bigger...

Edison had his 1 month appointment today. He is gaining on the growth chart, gaining two pounds in the past two weeks. Everything is going well, doctor says he seems to be early responsive smiling and everything else looks great.

Our Little Tauntaun

Edison has been pretty low key so far. I can't remember if Edy was this calm his early in her life, or if she just got high maintenance as she got older in her infancy. I also don't remember Edy making as much low key noise as Edison does. When he is going to sleep or waking up, or a lot of times in between, he snorts and mews and grunts practically nonstop. I need to figure out how to post a recording. We affectionately refer to him as out little Tauntaun - you need to watch Star Wars The Empire Strikes Back if you haven't heard of this reference. It's that creature Luke and Han ride around in the first 15 minutes of the film that, coincidentally, snorts and mews a lot. :-)

Doing her nails

This was Edy's second time to get her toenails painted. She now has some fabulous sparkles on the left foot and some hot pink on the right courtesy of Auntie Ann. I can't wait to paint her toes alternating colors next time and just blow her mind.
She thought it was the best thing ever when Dad showed her that the hair dryer could dry her toenails really fast.

You kids get off my lawn!

It seems to me a lot of very young babies look a lot like very old people (or turtles), and mine is no exception on boy counts. I can see this expression on Edison's face as he's sitting on his front porch at 96. Maybe they'll call him "Old Man Edison", that would be cool.
