Wiggly Writings

Hey, Mom, what’s with all the hats?

New Hat

Father and son dress up as Steeler fans for Thomas’ first Halloween.  And then after a big mess… we switched to the Halloween “BOO” shirt.

Steeler Fans

I like hanging out with Dad.  He gives really good bear-hugs.

Snuggled Up

Do I really have to wear a jacket?

Warm Fuzzy Jacket

Yes, you do, and this fuzzy hat, too!

It is cold out there.

I like to think about things while I’m sleeping.

Thinking

We’re using the bathroom scale, so we’ve got a resolution of 0.2 pounds.  The guesses:

• Kristel: 13.0 pounds
• Peter: 12.4 pounds

Result: 12.2 pounds*

Stay tuned for the next official weigh-in at the doctor’s office on Friday, November 7.

* – This is calculated by weighing Peter and clothes (238.6 pounds) and then weighing Peter and clothes holding Thomas without clothes (250.8 pounds).

Mommy has a cold and this is what I do to make her feel all better.

Happy Face

Smiling… just in time to celebrate the One-Month-Day.  I also decided to celebrate by wearing Gramma Kathy’s wizard-gown.  What fun!

Smiling!

Here I am in the big yellow glider chair.  We’ll check back later to see how I’ve grown.

One Month Yellow Chair Picture

I spent my One-Month-Day doing my two favorite things.  Eating…

Mamma Milk!

… and Sleeping.

Nap Time

Here I am all wiggling and happy with a fresh clean diaper.

Clean Diaper Dance

And my froggie cover on top!

Thomas and Moomsy

Hanging out in Grandpa Nick and Grandma Eileen’s cradle with great-Aunt Tanny’s cow snuggly.

By popular request, we’ve included some pictures of Thomas up close.  As you can imagine, it’s hard to get him to hold still long enough to take a picture.

Weight update this morning.  The guesses:

• Peter: 10 pounds 10 ounces
• Grandpa Nick: 10 pounds 9 ounces
• Grandpa Jim: 10 pounds 7 ounces
• Kristel: 10 pounds 3 ounces
• Grandma Eileen: 10 pounds 0 ounces
• Grandma Kathy: 9 pounds 15 ounces

The result: 10 pounds 7 ounces *

* – for some reason, he got weighed at the doctor’s today with his clothes on (10 pounds 12 ounces), so we weighed the clothes seperately (4¾ ounces).

We had our first visit to the local hospital on Friday morning for a CT scan of his head, but we’ve found out that the bump on the right side is just a bruise as we initially thought.  It’s just taking a bit longer than expected to go down.
