Good Morning with James

We had a nice, quiet Saturday morning at home with James. For now at least, no noisy cartoons to deal with. James seems content to check out his new world, with long stares and little baby noises. Frank appears to be cautiously optimistic – or at least cautiously tolerant.

4 Weeks Old and “He’s Perfect”

James had his one month checkup (a bit early), and all went well. In his pediatrician’s words, “he’s perfect”. Growing too. Nearly eight pounds now, and he’s an inch and a half longer than he was at birth. We’re very relieved to have such a healthy baby.

Morning Play Time

James is spending a bit more time awake now than in past weeks. Since he can’t really “do” anything yet, we generally just lay him down and let him absorb the world around him. Today, he spent a bit of time with his Activity Center, and seemed to be enjoying the shapes and colors.

Looking at Momma

There’s no question that James knows who is Momma is … and he’s looking right at her in this photo.

Am I in Trouble?

I’m not entirely sure what this expression means, but whatever it is, I think that it’s a cute one.
