Waking up

Making Faces

Here is a video of Art practicing making faces.  Here he cycles through a bunch in less than 15 seconds.

Uncle Ben and Aunt Sarah

We had a great time with my brousin¹ Ben and his wife Sarah this weekend.  The kid kept us from their wedding last month, so we were very excited that they were able to visit and meet Arthur. Sarah was great with him.  

Ben took a little more convincing, but we eventually got him to hold Arthur and he was much more natural than he would like to admit.  He has promised to be a corrupting influence.  In the picture above, he is explaining how to throw a party when the parents are away and not get caught.

1. It's a long story, but basically brother/cousin.

Happy Father's Day!

Here are pictures of the boys on Andrew's first father's day.

Handsome like daddy

Grumpy face

He gets this look from his mom.

Here are pictures of Arthur in the blanket wrap that his Grandma Rose (Elvis) made for him.

Cozy!

Check out the piggies!

Weigh in

Arthur had his 1 month visit to the doctor today.  He's doing fine, and weighed in at 9lbs 2oz, up from 7lbs 15oz at 10 days old.  He was in an exceptionally good mood and hardly cried at all, even when he got a shot.

9lbs 2oz

For any psych geeks out there, here is Arthur doing the tonic neck reflex, also called the fencing reflex. (I took the picture for class...poor kid.)

Laying flat, head turned to one side, his arm and leg on that side extend while the arm and leg on the other side bend.
