Pictures A-Plenty

So today was the big day! After turning two months old! on Saturday the 28th, Silas got his shots this morning. Three of them. He did well with the first one, calming himself down until the second and third followed right behind. He was crying hard at that point.

However, Silas was also measured and weighed! Here are the stats:

Height: 1 foot 9 1/2 inches (translation: 21.5 inches)

[length gained since birth: 2.25 inches]

[10th percentile]

Weight: 10 pounds, 2.5 oz.

[weight gained since birth: 3 pounds, 11.5 oz (I think)]

[20th percentile]

Head circumference: 15.25 inches

[Circumference gained since birth: We have no idea]

[25th percentile - Bratsch head]

As you can see, Silas is growing but is still pretty small for his age. But considering that he was born three and a half weeks early, he is younger than everyone his age, too.

Here are a bunch of pictures of Silas at about 2 months old:

We're Back: Silas is 7 Weeks Old!

We have a new computer now... it is a Dell laptop and we love it! Silas has grown so much since our last post. He coos and loves to watch the animals on his mobile go around and around. He has also gotten on a night schedule where he goes to sleep around 9:00 andsleeps from 4-6 hours. Then he will do this about 1 or 2 more times. So we are starting to catch up on sleep, if nothing else it is nice to have a predictabe schedule.



A couple days ago Silas got to meet one of his great-grandmas. My Grandma Siegmann flew out to see him for a couple days. It was so nice to have her here and she really enjoyed meeting Silas.

Here are some pictures from some of Silas' first tub baths. As you can see he HATED it... but we soon learned a trick to keep a diaper on him for the first part. He is slowly starting to learn to like them. Also... on his first bath Silas hated it so much he kicked the plug out and drained most of the water out of the tub before Paul and I realized what he had done!

Just a quick note: our computer died. Our new one will come at the end of the month. So we're sorry, but there will likely be no updates until then.
