Jasper Makes a Friend

Jasper is just getting cuter by the day, and now he is making cute friends, too! Just a few new photos of him now that he is officially 2+ months old. Below he is displayed with his cute friend Sylvia, and make sure to check out the photo of him wearing a little tank top with a huge smile on his face. More soon!

Jasper learns to suck his hand, and practices smiling

Jasper sucks. Big time. And when he can't suck, he gets fussy. So he spends a lot of time with a pacifier, and every now and then his hand brushes past his mouth, a tantalizing taste of things to come. This week he's been getting much better with his hands, both batting at toys, and moving ever closer to the holy grail of hand-in-mouth sucking. Watch him practice in the video at the end of this post. But first, some new pix this week, including his best smile yet:

Jasper's First Reunion

Today we went to the reunion for our childbirth class. It was so much fun - instead of a bunch of pregnant women and their partners, there were a dozen babies and their parents. All of the babies were so great. The best was when we set them all up on the couch together for a group photo!

A few other new pics posted starting with my new favorite, also shown below.

Jasper's new tricks

--Smiling a lot --smiled for 2 solid minutes at us when he woke up this morning
--dancing--he lies on his Gymini mat, we play music (currently REM's Out of Time), and he wiggles his legs and waves his arms
--talking--ok, not whole sentences but lots of little noises that aren't crying, more like little coos.
--sleeping for seven (7) hours in a row--he's had his Long Sleep last for 7 hours three times in the past week. Of course, one night in the middle of that streak he accidentally started his long sleep at 5pm and was done by 11:30, and up hourly after that. But still, he's definitely on the right track!
--staying awake on a walk, just lying in his stroller and looking around quietly at all the sights.
--enjoying his mobile--lying in his crib, looking up at the fantastic new mobile he got, listening to the classical music, and enjoying life. (The mobile has little umbrellas over each object, and the underside of each umbrella is a black spiral on a white background, so it's possible he's actually being hypnotized as those swirl around. But hey, we can worry about mental development later, right?)

Jasper Turns One Month Old
