diaper song
i often overhear christian singing funny made-up songs to the baby, this time i tried to sneak up on him.
first laugh
fritz had his first real laugh today. for a while now he will get excited and do some funny breaths that are his version of a laugh, but today there were real chuckles for the first time. i’ve been anticipating this for months! it was amazing! (don’t mind the fact that i haven’t showered in a couple of days – we’re all getting over a case of the flu this weekend.)
iPhone Photos
Thought I would share some recent iPhone pics given that I take at least one every day!
Frederick’s “moon boots” as Christian calls them.
Trying to fit both his fists in his mouth.
Kelly actually took this one of us catching up when I got home from work.
Sleepy face – he sleeps with his eyes a little open just like me!
This photo was sent by the nanny – apparently Alia is a cougar – rawr!
Looking cute with Jude in their matchy-matchy Sunday outfits.
Baby’s first hike in the headlands.
Happy kid in his PJs.
4 months
it is hard to believe frederick is 4 months old today! he is such a joy to have around. his 4-month appointment is next week and i am anxious to see the stats. from my estimations he is at least 25 inches long and a little over 11 lbs. so he is tall, but quite the string bean!
he is very alert and interactive. i went back to work at the beginning of the month, 4 days a week, and each day when we’re reunited we like to have conversations about his day – he is quite the talker. i will try to post a video soon.
he is also very into his hands – looking at them, trying to eat them, grabbing things (especially my shirt), drooling on them. he rolled over on monday – once for me and once for christian – but hasn’t done it since.
we’ve started hiking with him every saturday and he loves it. other hikers also love to say hello to him. he’s also finally on a good evening schedule where he goes to bed around 8:30. as much as i enjoyed hanging out with him until midnight every night, i am happy to have more sleep (and to catch up on some favorite tv shows)!
to sum it up, we just think he is the cat’s pajamas. we cannot get enough of him. i don’t think any baby in this world is kissed as much as he is, and we still find ourselves saying to each other “he is just SO amazing/handsome/beautiful/perfect” many, many times per day.
best baby buddies
we had a great visit last weekend from the kanes (minus sadie). emily decided to come with jude at the last minute, and we kept it a secret from christian. i love surprising him! these two babies are destined to be pals for life!
