Getting the Hang of Things

Eric had a busy week last week between the visiting nurse swinging by, shots at Dr. McMahnn's office, and a another trip to gets his eyes checked by Dr. Good. He is doing well. He cried for about 5 minutes after receiving for shots in his meaty thighs. At the eye Dr. he got to see he friends Pacita (parents Momma Pacita) and Emma (parents Tina & Dan). It was nice to say hello. The blood vessels in his eyes still have a little more maturing to do, but they look good and Dr. Good will check them out one more time to make sure they mature properly.

Mom & Dad have been learning a lot like Eric likes the sounds of running water, the dishwasher, Sean Colvin, and Andrea Boccelli. He likes to join us in his bouncey sit while we eat dinner popping the paci back into his mouth every once in a while. We have also learned we don't like Tushie brand wipes, the stick together and you can't pull them out with one hand, and we don't like Tushie diapers, the sticky tabs are too weird and the diaper too bulky. As much as we wanted to like the Tushie bio-degradable brand, they just aren't going to work for now.

Eric's holidays outfit. He didn't want to sit still very long, which is why his hands are blurry.







We have been out for a couple of strolls. Eric usually falls asleep while we walk around the neighborhood. Eric doesn't seem to impressed by Lake street despite our discovery of a new, secret street off Lake.






























Eric chills out with his buddies. Eric really likes to take a good look at his buddies. They are communicating on some level.



















I have managed to get out on a couple of good jogs a week and Aaron on a few mountain bike rides. This truly makes us better parents.

He's telling them stories and.... he's listening to theirs. Let's hope he doesn't forget the stories and some day he'll tell them to us.
I love those big, bright blue eyes. Looks to me, if they're open, he's watching and getting the hang of it.
All our best to his buddy Ryan, we'll keep them in our thoughts. Sometimes it just takes a little longer....
Lots of love, GA
