Too excited to sleep

Jones woke up early from his morning nap and was all smiles and talking. Normally he would be crying like an angry gerbil until he got fed, but today he just woke up and decided it was play time. I think it's because he is so excited to visit Grandma and Grandpa Gray and the Christopherson clan tomorrow.

Morning walk

Jones and I took a walk this morning up to Safeway. He loved it and snoozed the whole time. It was pretty chilly out, but he was snug and cozy.

Newsflash: Jones

Age: 8 weeks 2 days old

Wt: 9 lbs 10 oz

Skills: Bathing, putting fist in mouth, putting toys in mouth, sleeping up to 6 hours at night, smiling at mom and dad during playtime, pooping on Mallory twice in one day and rubbing fists on eyes when sleepy.

Physical Features: Bald spot on the back of his head due to rubbing it back and forth while falling asleep (as though watching a game of tennis on the ceiling), minimal baby acne, a couple scratches on his cheeks from a few pesky nails that mom can't seem to trim, skinny legs, longer eyelashes and a growing belly.

Karate sleep mode

Good morning, Jones.

Trick or Treat

The eyes on Jones' costume aren't very visible...so if you can't tell, he was a frog. A very happy and alert frog. The evening (more like the 30 minutes we were out) went pretty well considering we had 3 kids under the age of 3 1/2. Michael was only interested in hitting as many houses as possible, Violette just wanted "juice" and Jones was content being paraded around by his dad.

Baby skeleton having fun

Michael was nice enough to share his old baby gym with Jones, kicking Halloween day off to a great start. Meanwhile, I was probably lying on the couch trying to sleep (after I snapped a few photos, of course). Friday night was a restless, sleepless night...making Saturday a rough day for me. Thank goodness Courtney, Scott, Violette and Michael were there to entertain Jones.
