Fox is desperately trying to learn how to suck his thumb. It's not going all that well so far.


We went for a walk, with Fox in his Snugli. He is big enough to face forward in it now--3 whole months!



Hanging out after a bath:


This is his frog imitation:



Such a happy baby!

Here is a picture of Fox being cute after church at GG's house today:


Here are some pictures of Fox smiling. He has been smiling and laughing a lot lately!



He also has been enjoying bathtime. Here is a pic of him getting all sudsy with his little friend:


We took a trip to the zoo this weekend. Fox slept through it all until we woke him up to take pictures of him with the gorilla statue. Everyone was watching us pose him, and they were all oohing and aahing. One couple even asked if they could take a picture of Fox with the statue to take home because he was so cute! This is not helping my mommy-ego, which is already way out of control. But he is just so cute!

Happy Easter!

Here are some pictures of Fox on Easter. This is him playing with one of the toys in his Easter basket:


Here is Fox in his little outfit:



Here is Fox with us and his great-grandma (Barb's mom):


Here he is with Oompa and GG:


And again with GG:


Today, I went back to work. There are no photos of that. I don't think Fox was too upset about it, but I cried a lot. He seemed to have a lot of fun at Shannon's house, so that is good. And I had a great day at work; the kids were great and I was reminded of how much I love teaching. So, it's all fine. And there are only 9 weeks till summer break, anyway.

Back to work!

On Monday, I have to go back to work. I am not looking forward to this at all, but at least I know Fox will be in good hands (with Daddy 2 days a week and with my friend Shannon 3 days a week). In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy my favorite activities of being a mother, such as group naps:


It has been a lot of fun spending time with Fox. He is a pretty cool kid. Yesterday, he even wore shoes for the first time:


Fox is a pretty strong baby. He likes to stand up and kick. He also likes to show off his muscles, or "guns," as he insists on calling them (this was taken last week; he's 10 1/2 weeks old now):


He also likes it when I dress him up in different outfits for the sole purpose of taking photos. Here he is sporting his Nasa outfit from Uncle Kiah. Future rocket scientist? I think so!


Today, Fox had his two-month check-up (despite the fact that he is already two and a HALF months old--soo big!). He had three shots in his little chubby thighs. He cried a lot, both at the doctor's office and at home when I took off his band-aids. Here is a picture of the result of the latter:


Of course, I felt terrible. But he was very brave, and I think he is handling the experience much better than most babies would. This is all I have for now, but now that we have the 'inter-web' at home, I will post pictures more often.
