Popcorn popping

Yesterday I was teaching Jamie this song--"Popcorn Popping." At first he was singing, "popcorn popping aper on da cot tree." So adorable. Unfortunately, he fixed it quickly, though it's still very cute:

And here's one from Tuesday--Luke was totally smiley, then stopped when I took the trouble to run downstairs for the real camera. Of course. :)


It's so fun. It's hard to get things done, but Luke fits into our family like a glove. He has his place, and we can hardly believe he wasn't here (at least, visible) just a couple months ago.

Luke likes to smile at night, especially. He had his two-month checkup on Monday, and he was about 12 lbs 5 oz.  and 23 3/4 in. That's almost 4 inches he's gained since he was born! He outgrew the newborn clothes so fast, he didn't even have a chance to wear all of them. He wears 0-3 mo, 3 mo, and sometimes even 6 month sizes! (Those often have extra room, especially on the sides, but not that much top to bottom.)

He loves to cuddle and doesn't like to be left out of things. (It's pretty hard to get even the most basic things done a lot of days, but not as hard as it was with Jamie.) He does like his swing (thank GOODNESS--Jamie would never stay in it long), but if we're out of his line of sight too long, he voices his opinion about it. What can I say, he's a sweet boy who already loves his family :)

Well, I hear Jamie waking up, so my 1/2 hour of free time will soon be ending. Have I finished the dishes yet?...
