Peter is One Month!

As of Sunday, Peter William is a month old -- already! Today we went to the doctors, which is why I've waited to update the blog...so we know his stats...


Peter is 10 pounds 14 ounces (!!!) and 22 1/2 inches long.  That puts him in the 70th percentile for weight and 88th percentile for height. 


We've been adjusting to having a baby at our house.  The two big sisters LOVE their brother, and often ask to hold him.  When he starts making any noise they volunteer to get his binky and "shhh" him :) 




Peter likes to do tummy time, which is a first here at our house.  The doctor was impressed with how much head control and eye contact he had....and told me at the end of the appointment that Peter is a "perfect baby"....



He started sleeping from around 10:30pm to 6:30 am over the weekend -- which is making him the perfect baby in my mind too! :) 



He's given us a few smiles....above is the closest thing I've gotten on camera. But, it's so much better -- his smiles are a big, open mouthed grin....




We've loved this first month with our son and can't wait to see him continue to grow!!

Baby Pool

Want to guess when Baby #2 is going to arrive? Post a comment, or send me an email, with your guess and I'll add you in! As a review, here are the rules to the game (taken from Heather Deterding!): 1. Post your guess for the baby's arrival in the "comment" section. Be sure to specify both date and time of day -- either "am" or "pm". 2. Limit one guess per person, and only one entry per time slot-- no sharing! 3. Winner is determined based on time of birth. For example, if the baby is born on April 20th at 7 AM, a guess of "April 20th, AM" would be the winner. In the event that there is no entry for the correct arrival time, the next closest guess based on actual time of birth would win. 4. We will post entries on the Calendar above. Check prior entries before placing your guess! Dates not displayed on the calendar above are still up for grabs. 5. The winner will receive... bragging rights and a congratulatory post h...

Chloe at 11 months

I can hardly believe that Chloe will have her 1st birthday next month. She is getting increasingly mobile these days - her 'crawl' is getting faster and faster. She is also pulling up on anything she trusts and occasionally cruises from one place to another. If you watched the video, you have also seen that she can use the walker...but needs Dad's help on the turns :) Chloe still loves music of any kind ~ she sways back and forth when the music starts. Singing will bring her out of any temper tantrum or pout. She likes to be outside and still tries to eat rocks...something we're still slowly learning... Over Memorial Day, Chloe had quite an interest in the American flag and at the 4th of July we found that her love hadn't faded and she carried around the flag all day. She likes her new toys (nesting boxes and a "push the button, door pops open") but is still interested in some of her old ones. She likes anything with a lid and has a new fascination ...
