Ten Weeks Old

Posted on June 1, 2007 by Jonathan

Avery was ten weeks old yesterday. The time has gone be fast. He smiles at us all the time now, and is especially smiley in the morning. He’s making more sounds, and his voice is louder. If Lindsey or I make a vowel sound Avery will try and repeat the sound back to us. It’s great fun.
Also during this last week he moved out of his bassinet next to our bed and into his crib in the nursery. Lindsey and I have both been sad about not having him next to us, but he sleeps much better with the extra room in crib. The last couple nights after Avery’s gone to bed Lindsey’s said “I wish he would be hungry soon,” because she wants to have him close to her. What a sweet Mommy!
Mommy + Avery. Both smiling.

Daddy + Avery flying.

Memorial Day Weekend

Posted on May 29, 2007 by Jonathan

I’m headed back to work after a busy weekend. Having an extra day was nice, but it came to an end too quickly.
On Saturday I helped photograph a wedding for one of my photographer buddies. I had a great time at the wedding. When I got home Lindsey and Avery were both still smiling. They had taken at least one long walk around the neighborhood.
On Sunday we had an outdoor BBQ with Scott, Manivanh, and Nicole. Sunday was cold and rainy so we didn’t stay too long. Next we headed over to Redmond Town Center to get a hot coffee and visit the shops.
This was Avery’s first trip to Starbucks. (bad cell phone pic)

Next we visited Abercrombie. (bad cell phone pic)

On Monday afternoon I rented a tiller at Home Depot and tore up our backyard. The top soil we had brought in last summer was all packed down and hard to rake. The tiller made it all nice and soft again. This week I’ll be raking in the evenings, and then we’ll get the yard hydroseeded.

Babies Everywhere

Congratulations to our friends, Jim and Renee, who welcomed their son, Logan James, into the world on May 22nd. Jim and I rowed together and were roomates in college. Renee was our coxswain.
Congratulations also to Scott and Manivanh (Lindsey’s brother and sister-in-law), who are expecting their second child the day after Christmas. Lindsey and I can’t wait to have another little niece or nephew and Avery is looking forward to meeting his new cousin.

Two Months Old – Ouch!

Posted on May 22, 2007 by Jonathan

Two months ago Avery was born. To help him celebrate we took him to the doctor’s office so he could get a look at the guy that ushered him into the world. Avery had a good time visiting the doc, but then as we were getting ready to leave the sneaky nurse got out her collection of syringes. Five shots later — two in one leg, three in the other — Avery became the recipient of several band-aids.
[Update] Yesterday at the doctor’s office Avery weighed 13.0 pounds and he was 24 1/2 inches long.
Avery’s first band-aid.


Earlier, before the trip to the doctor’s office.

Our sweet little angel.

Not Coming Out of the Closet

Posted on May 22, 2007 by Jonathan

This morning Commodus was caught hanging out in my closet on top of my sweatshirt. I’m not sure why? Perhaps he was trying to get some peace and quite away from the noisy baby?
At any rate. Commodus isn’t coming out of the closet. At least not this morning.
