Tummy Time / Back Time

New picture of Dylan / 8 pounds

I think I forgot to tell everyone that at Dylan's last well baby visit he weighed 8 pounds.

Thumb Part Deux

Auntie Lori visited with Dylan on his one month birthday last night.  He is so precious.  I tried to get all my kisses in until the next time I see him.  He changed so much in two weeks.  I even noticed that his eyelashes were longer!  Also, right before I was about to give him back to mommy, Dylan started sucking his thumb, so Jeff grabbed my camera. It was most likely because he was ready to eat and mean Auntie Lori took his binky away to make room for more kisses!

Rock a bye baby

Jeff's back to work after his two week vacation and Laura and Dylan have been on their own while he's at work since Thursday. Laura said Dylan has been sleeping about 4-5 hours at night in his crib like a big boy! The nursery is so cute, I'd like to sleep in it! Jeff's off on Monday and they have another well baby visit. I will report in once I know how much he weighs now. He's outgrowing some of his newborn clothing and diapers - soon he'll be in 0-3 month clothing.
Love, Aunt Linda

Thumb

Dylan found his thumb the other day. Laura said he was fussing and his hands were in front of his face. She said his thumb just popped right into his mouth. He sucked it for a few seconds then took it out and looked at it intently. He then put it back in his mouth and took it back out - again looking at it. Finally, he sucked on it for a few minutes. I told Laura that he probably thought it was a dud because there was no milk coming out of it! Laura said he only did it once and and hasn't done it since. When I went over there yesterday, I asked him to do it again, but he wouldn't. I also asked him to say Auntie Linda, but he didn't do that either - darn!
Love, Aunt Linda

Chubby thighs

Mom and I went over to Dylan's yesterday. Laura and I changed his little diaper while mom was folding Laura's laundry. I was so happy to have Laura point out that he has a little fat fold on his chubby thigh. I don't know why it's so cute in babies and so unappealing in adults-life isn't fair.


Put up your dukes:

Love, Aunt Linda

7.35 and Counting

The home health nurse came out today everything is fine. She did a health screen on Laura and Dylan and he grew a half inch (19.5) and he gained little under a pound (7.35). He is well on his way to be another chubby Nikiel!  I didn't think it was possible for Dylan to be any cuter, but he seems to get cuter with each gained pound!  Man, I wish I could say the same for myself, but sadly it is not the case for Auntie Lori.
