We've Been Busy


Our little man has been busy getting bigger, sleeping longer and doing NEW things.  We are just in awww of him most days.  


Clint's newest addition to his toys is a Johnny Jump Up and he loves it ... before he constantly wanted Dan and I to bounce and jump with him. Now he is able to do it himself [well kinda with a little help from Mama and Dada].  He is so cute in it. I just love seeing his little eyes dance while he plays in it.


Here is an action photo of the Johnny Jump Up


Couple "calmer" shots 



 



He has learned to grip, shake and mouth his toys.  He just loves his moose toy Mortimer from his MN cuzzies, Ella and Alex.





Yesterday, he recognized himself in the mirror and Grammie was there to help him figure it out.






I head back to work next Monday.  It doesn't seem fair.  He is finally doing all these cool things and he is very interactive.  There is something to be said about going back to work after 6 weeks.  After 3 months he has a little personality, recognizes me, smiles and plays.  Before he just slept and cuddled which is nice but come on ....

The Roll Over

Clint is becoming more and more active.  He recently started rolling over.  I am not sure if he quite knows what he is doing because he acts sooo surprised, but it's so darn cute.  Video for all see is below.  I didn't have the best lighting sorry, but you get to see him in action =]


He is sleeping longer stretches at night {YIPPEEEE} which couldn't come at a better time as I will be going back to work the first week of Feb.  He will be 3 months old by then.  He is starting to coo, smile, giggle and recognize my face which just melts my heart to say the least.

2 Months Old


Clint turned two months old Dec 29, 2009.  So we headed to his pediatrician for his 2 month check and his STUPID shots on Dec. 30, 2009. Ugh, watching him get his shots was HORRIBLE. Poor little bugger.


He is now 11lbs and 21.5" tall.  His pediatrician is impressed with his growth since he was preemie.  Weighing only 5lbs 5oz at birth and 18.5" tall, when we brought him home he weighed 5lbs, down to 4lbs 15 oz and then up to 6lbs.  So he is growing , HOORAY!! 


He still has ALL of his hair and his eyes remain to be blue.  The jury is still out on his eye color.  I have brown eyes and Dan has blue, so we wait.

We are enjoying watching his personality develop.  He loves to be held and entertained.  Favorite activities include couch sliding, flying around the Christmas Tree, climbing the belly mountain [pillow on the couch] and working out in his activity gym  .


Here is a clip of our little man entertaining us at two months old.  Turn up your volume as you can hear him starting to chat with us.

Clint's First Christmas 2009

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  The only thing that would have made it better is that my brother and his family could have been here with all of us.

Clint was blessed with many gifts from friends and family members.  We are so grateful.  Thank you all once again.  Papa and Grandma Rourk hosted us once again this year with a great dinner and gifts galore.  We even had Mema there to help celebrate Christmas.  What a great day.
