A trip to the doctor

Little John Dickson went back to the pediatrician yesterday and weighed in at a whopping 13 lbs, 8.5 ounces and was 23.75 inches long. He rolled over twice before his appointment and the doctor did not believe us since normally that doesn't happen until 4 months. Well, we taped him doing it tonight and we'll post it soon. That's probably all for now. Thanks for checking in and I'm sure we'll have all kinds of awesome cuteness coming soon.

Another cute mobile video to get Mom through the work day

We have to do these in the crib to guarantee a smile.

We heart Daddy

I thought it only fitting to put a blurb on here about how well John Dickson/Adam bonding days have been going since I've been back at work. Adam takes it personally that John Dickson wears his cranky pants all day, so I have to remind him of all the days I didnt get to brush my teeth until 2 in the afternoon. As I'm sure you can tell from all of the pictures and videos, Adam is fantastic with the baby - and I'm so lucky to have someone as wonderful as him to share a child with. It would be very difficult to leave John Dickson every morning with anyone else, but Adam makes going to work as easy as it can be. I only wish the two of them weren't so cute sleeping every morning when I leave (John Dickson in his pack n play & Adam in the bed).

As a side note, John Dickson is finally getting on a schedule! YAY! He gets a bath every night now, right before its time to eat again (unless he hasn't had a dirty diaper since he last ate - we learned that that combined with a bath can be a pretty gross little adventure). And then he eats and half the time will fall asleep. The other half of the time he refuses to close his eyes, but is content to just be held or rocked. But he's now asleep between 9:30 and 10:30, which is a huge improvement from his 12:30 nights. And he slept 8 1/2 hours the other night - straight. It was beautiful. He's only done that once, but he is now consistently sleeping 6-7 1/2 hours every night.

I have to go back to the wild world of accounting now, so until next time...

A little mobile fun

John Fickson has decided the dinosaur mobile is one of his favorite things ever. The following is a video of him staring at it and some of those smiles and coos Amanda mentioned in the last post. A slow week this week, but next week we go back to the pediatrician!

Slow Week

Not a whole lot of new stuff going on in the little one's life, but he has decided that the dinosaur mobile in his crib is maybe his favorite thing in the world. Here are a couple of videos showing off those smiles and coos Amanda mentioned in the last post. In my totally unbiased opinion, it is the cutest stuff ever created ever.
