Jamie revisited (the Barry collection)

Hola! We have just unearthed Barry's Jamie archive. We have a pre- born Jamie at the beach, a post-born Jamie with the Peters in Silver Spring, and a 3 month old Jamie at our temporary home in Raleigh with the Peters. Enjoy

Free and easy!

After he busted free of his brace, we realized just how long this boy is! We're thinking he might be just as tall as his Uncles Dan and Jon and Auntie Jennifer. Maybe taller. Length isn't all he shares with his Uncle Jon. Check out the picture from this month and you'll see what I mean. I think they may be related.
The General is really coming out in him. First, he demands prompt attention. If you don't comply, he will drop you. Or at least make your ears ring. Second, he can sit at attention himself: no more floppy head! He gets stronger every day. When you hold his upper body, those little legs do their job! See the video. Lastly, he scrutinizes everything. Every detail must be gleaned, from colors, to texture, to taste. Finally, his hands and mouth are "moving with a purpose!" Just like a soldier!
Gotta keep going...

It's all coming together now!
Hello all! We're rounding the curve into the 3rd month now. Each day brings a delightful new talent from our Mr. Smiley.
He's starting to babble consistently now. He's going to be such a beautiful public speaker some day. We love to sit and have long, deep conversations with him. He's quite concerned about how the Mattel recalls will effect the Chinese economy, and, in turn, our own. He either said something about "the birthing pangs of a new capitalist society" or he was pooping. One or the other.
Jamie's also figuring out how to use his hands to bring things to his mouth. Just early training for the tough food critic he'll be someday! We won't need to hold his bottle for him much longer...at least we'll still have a foot in the door as long as he's into the boobala!
Also, our future soccer star spends a lot of time kicking up a storm! We're leaving the harness off until our next orthopedist appointment, so we're all enjoying his newfound freedom. Sans harness, he got his first real bath the other day. See video. It's rated R for full frontal nudity. You've been warned.
So! Our public speaking, soccer playing, neud food critic has made some big strides this month. We can't wait to see what he does next!

6 weeks done!
I know this is a bit late, but I had to drive up the demand.
Jamie is doing wonderfully and everyday has been such a joy. We're so lucky that he's such a good little boy. Just feed, change, burp, and entertain him there's not too much screaming. He even let us go out to eat for two straight days in a row, so I think that was his anniversary present to us.
Last weekend I noticed that he started tracking me with his eyes. I do this thing where I repetitively kiss him on the opposite cheek. He now turns his head sometimes to keep me from kissing the opposite cheek. I guess there's no going back for me is there.
So everyone, please enjoy the pictures taken over the last month.

almost to 2 weeks!!
Oh my goodness, almost 2 weeks has passed and we're both bushed. The grandparents have been wonderful, passing on all of the rearing skills they practiced on us. I am now proficient in changing diapers. Being pee'd three times in two days will do that to you.
