Here’s the cutie on the guest bed, on his Mammy quilt, in his cousin Rachel PJs, with his foo-foo and a Papa sci-fi book.
Three WeeksAt three weeks old, Daniel weighed 7 pounds 9.5 ounces. He is trying his best to catch up quick! Here’s the cutie on the guest bed, on his Mammy quilt, in his cousin Rachel PJs, with his foo-foo and a Papa sci-fi book. New ButtonDaniel got a new button today, but from his expression, I don’t think he cares. Sleeping AngelThis little angel is always striking the cutest poses when he falls asleep on Mama. Gifts at homeThese are gifts we received after getting home with Daniel. The beautiful and delicious fruit bouquet is from Tina. Ginger sent the soft blanket and outfit. The diaper change themed package was from Millie. Casey gave us the Got Milk themed outfits. The Dangerous Book for Boys is from cousin John.
Gifts at the hospitalIt’s been a couple of weeks ago now, but I wanted to share pictures of gifts we received when we were in the hospital. These are flowers and a teddy bear from Papa’s work, flowers from Papa’s boss, a prayer bear and socks from Tuck, washcloth bouqet from Melissa and Sprinkler onesie from Dixie. Daniel has demonstrated his sprinkler on a few occasions. The latest was at his two week checkup. He thoroughly sprinkled the table at the doctor’s office.
LullabiesWhen Daniel is feeling fussy, I have had really good luck with singing him lullabies to get him to nod off. I’ve tried several out on him and the one he seems to like the most is Down in the Valley. Here he is asleep on the couch after a few rounds of Down in the Valley. Down in the Valley Down in the valley, valley so low Roses love sunshine, violets love dew Writing this letter, containing three lines Down in the valley, valley so low Two week checkupDaniel is growing. He was 6 pounds 9 ounces at birth. He was 6 pounds four days later. Well, at his two week checkup they wanted him to have regained his birth weight. He was 6 pounds 12.5 ounces today! He was also longer. He was 19 1/4 inches at birth and was 20 3/4 inches today. This picture is due to a request from Mammy to see feet. These feet came straight from dear old Papa. Hiccups!Little Daniel used to get the hiccups all the time when he was still in Mama’s belly, and things haven’t changed much now that he’s oot-n-aboot in the world (sorry, that was for Crazy Uncle Rob’s benefit… you know, the one in Canada). He doesn’t seem too bothered by them, but they are/can be amusing for the rest of us. Family resemblanceSo I finally got a good mug shot of Daniel that proves he’s kin to his maternal grandfather! Rude boyPapa didn’t teach his boy this’n. Yet. |
