Recent Happenings In Fox's Life

I know I just made an entry with lots of pictures of Fox, but since I am using the internet for what is pretty much the first time in a month, I couldn't resist making another entry with factual information about him. So, read the entry below this, too, if you haven't yet.

Ok. Tomorrow, Fox is going to be 4 weeks old. Here are some fun or interesting things that he has done or that have happened in his little world:

-He went to church for the first time and was mentioned in a special prayer, in the sermon, and in the children's message
-His belly button has healed into a perfect little nub
-He is growing at a ridiculous rate. At birth, he was 19 inches and 6 lbs 11 oz. It took him almost two weeks to get back up to his birthweight (which is perfectly normal). Then, in the next six days, he gained almost a pound and was 2 1/2 inches longer. He looks like a miniature Buddha, covered in hair.
-He has visited the doctor's office, Target, Rainbow, GG's house, church, and Grama and Grampa Fischer's house.
-He watched the Superbowl, and rooted for the Colts. Needless to say, he was happy with the outcome of the game.
-He had an infection in his eye which led to a condition we lovingly called "goopy eye"--mass amounts of eye boogers that cemented his left eye shut at times. He was still cute though. I had to put ointment in there twice a day for a week, and it healed.
-He smiles and laughs, but only in his sleep. We don't think this counts, until he does it while he's awake. But it is very cute to watch.


Ok, so that is what has been going on for Fox. He's generally happy, and he is awake more and more now. He sleeps longish chunks at a time (up to 6 or 7 hours between feedings), so I have been getting more sleep, which is very nice. He's a good baby and we love him lots.
