Happy Birthday!

Hard to believe it's been a month already that this little guy has been with us.  He hit the 4 week mark yesterday and is officially 1 month old on Sunday.  He had a great check up with his doctor yesterday.  He now weighs 7lb 6oz, he's grown an inch (20 1/2"), and he's getting smarter (his head circumference increased by 3 cm)!  The doc says he's perfect and we couldn't agree more!

A few photos:

Arjen gets his first allowance

On our drive up north, a very nice fellow handed over this $2 bill to Andrew, as a gift for Arjen.  Random acts of kindness still exist!


















I got my baby back!



 We watched game 3 of the World Series with a few family and friends.  Needless to say, Mom and Dad didn't get much cuddle time with their boy that evening.  While Arjen enjoyed all the love and attention he received, and I looked on as the proud mama, I was more than happy to finally get him back!







Did you say Favre was starting?



Sunday Sports Day:
Arjen spent some time with Dad in the recliner while watching some football, then a game 4 win by the Giants.










Hi Dad

Go Giants!

Whew! I'm spent.

I think I'll just stay here and nap a bit

Arjen's 1st Road Trip

How loveable is that face?!? This little guy is one accomplishment I have no problem bragging about. He's only 3 weeks old, but such a happy, lovey baby! And, he's already been to as many states as he is weeks old!

I never thought the pediatrician would agree to taking Arjen on a long road trip at this age, so when Andrew suggested driving up to Chinook, WA with our brand new baby I agreed to leave it up to the doctor. I didn't really figure the doctor would totally be on board! So off we went on Arjen's first windsurfing adventure. Click on the photo or the title above to see some photos from our trip. As this picture shows, our little monkey was a trooper, and enjoyed himself as much as mom and dad did!

Highlights from week 2!

Based on the fact that we haven't added any new posts in a week, I guess you could say week 2 was a little busier! Not sure where the time went or what we did with it, but here are a few more photos to shed some light!




















A video clip of Arjen during "Tummy Time".  Make sure you have the sound on if you want to hear this kid's lung power!
