Photo Favorites : June 23-29, 2014

I’m a little behind on my photo favorites post again.  I’m blaming Jenson, because he’s so cute and I have to take so many pictures of him and then edit them.  In his 38th week, Jenson really started to seem like a little boy more than a baby.  He sits and plays with his toys happily.  He’s been a distracted nurser all week too.  It feels like a wrestling match to get him to nurse before bed.  There’s just so much he wants to do and see, even though he’s tired.  He had salmon, pumpkin, pasta with red sauce, pears, squash, pumpkin pancakes, broccoli, and more this week.  He really filled out suddenly – especially in his face, and he weighed around 19 lbs., so maybe he’ll finally make it to above 20%?  He copied me at banging blocks together and on his high chair, and he copies noises that we make.  He had some pretty fussy and wakeful nights, but I muddle through.

1.-4. He’s 38 weeks old!  His hair is getting long, but I don’t really want to cut it yet!

5. Facetiming with Gramma…hmmm…I actually took a facetime picture with her this week, but this picture appears to be one from a previous facetime session, because he’s younger in this picture.  But the collage is already made, so I’m not going to change it.  He facetimed with gramma while she was at my nieces softball game (so he got to see them too).
6. Boof is fake-smiling.  She’s been really special lately.  She’s my shadow and she won’t relax at night and lay in her bed on the couch until I sit down and put the laptop on my lap.  Pappap Cheese will be here tomorrow though, so she’ll be happy.7.  Jenson is just dying to figure out how to get to Boof, and Boof just wants me to play with her and her hippo.
8.  She begged me to put this onesie on her.  Maybe she didn’t “beg”, but she followed me around when I took it out of the bag, and when I held it out to put it on her, she sat down and let me do it – even helping to put her paws in the sleeves.  She’s more of a 12 month size, and this was a 9 month, so it wasn’t the best fit.

9. – 12.  Food pics!  Enjoying broccoli, though he just tried to shove it all in his mouth, so I had to cut off the tops for him to eat.  Also had some salmon and squash over the next few meals.

13. He looks so sad in this picture (and so tall!).  But he was perfectly happy, as evidenced by the next picture.
14. After-bath spiky hair!
15. – 16. Just more of him looking adorable.

17. A little gift I made for my friends’ baby shower
18. The boys playing at the “shower”
19. He’s finally mostly big enough to wear on my back like a little turtle shell
20. Boof makes it a point to lay on Jenson’s blankets and look sad occasionally, even though her couch bed is 1 foot in front of her.

21. Sweet sleepy babe
22. Riding his car.  He loves sitting on this thing and can even move on it.
23. Meeting Ashlee (she’s cooking a little friend for him – due in August).
24. Group shot at Ashlee’s shower.  I love her dress!

25. Boof was getting jealous that they were playing….
26. So she moved in for a kiss
27. And later, she appears to have taken a nibble on Lo’s fingers during outdoor bathtime.
28. Everything is intact.

29. It was such a nice day, so we tried out his ducky tub recently given to us.  He’s outgrowing his sink tub, and the regular tub isn’t the easiest yet, though this works in the tub too.
30. I wanted to get some fresh air to his buns, and when I set him down on the blanket, he wouldn’t put his left knee down…so cute.
31. Still chilling with his knee in the air
32. Cuddles with my baby.
