Cool Toys from Chicago!

Here's Seamus playing with one of the very cool toys Nicki and Lee sent a couple of weeks ago.

Three Months Old Today!!!

Spring Has Sprung!

Jim and Seamus going out for a walk in the wonderful spring weather today.

Sickie Boy

Seamus caught his first cold this week (I got it too!) so he decided he wanted to lie around all day in his pajamas.

New Pictures---12 Weeks, 1 Day Old!

Mimi and Seamus!

Welcome to the world, sweet Adeline!

Our friends Byron and Lara had a beautiful baby girl on Monday ... look at that hair!

Congratulations to all three of the principals involved!

In other news, there is an entertaining post by expectant papa Bradford over at his baby blog, about his and Jen's visit to NYC two weekends ago.

Things Are Looking Up

I wish I had Souffle's famous cartoon of the same title to illustrate this post ... but as you might be able to tell by all of the posting that Greta's been doing, she's feeling much better. The plagues have dissipated -- speaking metaphorically, Pharaoh's army got drownded ... just in time for Passover, too.

This past week, Seamus has been cuter than ever. I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but during this first week back from Connecticut with Greta feeling herself again, he has been less yelly and more interactive. Auntie Carol visited today, and she even got him to laugh a little bit (we think)! For the first time, I feel like we're able to really enjoy him without feeling overwhelmed by stress and anxiety.

For instance, I took an opportunity to photograph my favorite part of him: the Hair Swirl! --


The best part about the Swirl is that it's also a Squiff:


Happy Vernal-Equinox-Derived Holidays to all!

Easter Baby

Here's Seamus in the Easter hat that he got from Aunt Carol. Well, it's actually a beach hat, but we told him it's an Easter hat.

Yes, this is my third post today...

But look at this little thumbsucking munchkin!!

Cool Onesies

We took this picture a long time ago so everyone could see the cool onesies that Julieanna made for Seamus. Thanks, Julieanna!!

Saturday, Saturday...

I've been packing for the big move and Jim has been hanging with the munchkin. Here's a photo of Seamus getting all suited up again. It's only 41 degrees out there!
Here's one of Seamus asleep that Jim sent me from the Winter Garden at the World Financial Center.

Seamus' Favorite Toy

Every morning, Seamus and I wake up, he gets his diaper changed on the bed, he lays there naked for a while (his favorite state), gets his belly kissed, and we play with the frog toy that his Uncle Joe and Aunt Kathie sent him. In this photo with the froggie, he's wearing a very cute onesie from Aunt Carol.

New Photos for Seamus' 10-week Birthday!

Seamus is 10 weeks old today. I have been enjoying him so much this week. Score one for the crazy pills.

Nana and Seamus sharing a laugh last week


Seamus in a cute outfit from Aunt Carol and socks from Brad and Jen made out of bamboo (dubbed "the most beautiful socks you have")!


It was in the 30s today, so to go outside (to the store for diapies and wipes) Seamus had to wear the hand-me-down winter suit from his cousin Logan. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, but I think he looked damned cute!

Seamus' 2-month Check up

Seamus went to see Dr. Chaudhary today for the last time. She said he's growing well and very healthy. At his 4-week visit, he was almost 10 pounds, and at this visit, 5 and a half weeks later, he is 12 pounds 3 ounces! We're very pleased that he's a healthy little butterball. He's in the 50th percentile still for weight and the 25th to 50th for height. A little shrimpy. Here are some photos from our therapeutic stay at Nana and Grampy's house.

Taking a bath...


Happy and snuggled up on Mommy...
