Trying this again

I really need to try to get into the habit of blogging. I'd really like to keep tabs of little things that Jonathan and Kaylin accomplish.

At 5 weeks and 3 days old (on Feb. 12th) Jonathan gave me his first real smile. Not one of those followed by a bout of gas, or a sweet dreams smile. A real honest to goodness, "my mama is funny" smile. Which in turn made me smile and we went back and forth like that for a good 5 minutes. He smiled for me because I was tickling his cheeks after his diaper change. Apparently he likes that! Or at the very least, he wanted to amuse his mama. Now, at 7 weeks he smiles any time I talk to him in that high-pitched "motherese" speak. I can't wait for his first genuine laugh. Which, most likely, will be in response to mama acting like an idiot! I, of course, have yet to catch a real good smile on camera :-(

Jonathan will be 2 months old next week! Time flies! And he's growing like a weed. I'd like to upload some pictures to illustrate my point, but alas, my internet connection is being wonky and won't allow me to upload. It just continuously times out. I'll just have to be sure and edit this post once the problem is corrected.

I love that Jonathan is now sleeping in 4 and 5 hours stretches at night. We have his 2 month appointment next Tuesday, the day after he actually turns 2 months. Poor baby will have to get shots.

This weekend we did a whole lot of nothin'. Saturday night we all went over to Matt & Chera's house. Grilled out some pork ribs and discussed their bachelor and bachelorette parties. Sunday we just lounged around the house as a family until 4:30pm when Kaylin went to stay the night with Mimi & Papa. Today Jeremy got a hair cut with Chera, we went to the post office to mail out a paperbackswap.com book, by the ATM to get cash and then back home. Not a real exciting weekend! Currently, Jeremy is at the Mavericks game with some guys from work and I'm about to put Kaylin to bed and feed the boy.
