Malan's First Thanksgiving!

First Morning at Salishan

First morning at Salishan. Love the blackout curtains. Malan slept till 10. Now breakfast in bed. Malan gets his first.

Four Months!

November 23rd Malan is Four Months old already!  He is in love with his hands as you can see with the picture below.  I couldn't get one with out him holding his hands.  He likes to suck on his fingers, his thumb and forefinger.  We have been battling cradle cap and eczema.  His face gets itchy so he likes to rub it on the burp rag.  He is grabbing things and pulling on them.  When he is on his play mat he hits things with both hands and both feet.  I have learned his noises that tell me if he is hungry or tired.  When he is tired he rubs his eyes and moans.  He has started drooling a lot, but no teeth yet.  He can roll over, but still does not have much control.  His bowel movements slowed down which worried us, but does not seem to bother him.  He loves to play with the Toy Skwish.  He chews on it and on anything he can get to his mouth.

Malan's First Trip to Otter Crest

I kissed the baby

Tonight Malan and I went to the library to check out the book sale that they were having.  I found this book, "I Kissed the Baby!"  It seemed like a great one for Malan because Fode and I can't seem to stop kissing him.  At bedtime tonight I read the book to him three times.  I made sure to point out the title, author, and publication date (never to early to build literacy skills!).  He loved the vibrant colors.  After reading the book I sang hims some camp songs and off he went to sleep (for a about an hour...then I was back at it again).
