Autumn Baby

Fall has arrived in Chicago so we got Brogan a new fleece. It's a little big now but hopefully it will last through the cold Chicago spring. The adorable red hat he is wearing in the other photos was made by Fritz's Aunt Mary.
(And yes, lots of car seat photos, but it is one of the times I can capture Bo's cuteness when I'm by myself; I can't hold Brogan and take a photo of him at the same time!)

More 8 Weeks

Week 8

More Week 7

This week Bo has started really paying attention to his hands and feet. He likes to watch them move around, and he likes to suck on his hand and fingers. He is very interested in mobiles and hanging toys - he'll look at them for ages. He is making more sounds - adding some high pitched squeaks, loud "gaks!" and fake coughing to his soft coos and excited huffing. He is also busy getting chubby and growing darker eyebrows.

Week 7 -

Two Tigers

We need to get Brogan his own Tigers hat - we've got a long off season to pick out the perfect one. (Don't mention the Tigers to Fritz, he's still in mourning.)

Lesson Learned

I have learned a valuable parenting lesson: when your baby does something as incredible and highly anticipated as sleep for seven straight hours, DO NOT jinx it by blabbing about it on your blog.

Bo has regressed and is now sleeping like a 4 week old - 2-3 hours at a time at night. Oh well. At least we know he is capable of sleeping for longer. But next time it happens don't expect to read about it here!
