11 Weeks!

11 Weeks

Tom comes back on Friday! We are so excited. I am giving myself and Mark a pat on the back for our single parenting journey. 

Mark is doing fantastic! He is sleeping through the night, and last night he slept from 9:30pm to 6:45. And it was a night after my teaching day to boot. I finally figured out that he just wasn't getting enough to eat on the days I went to work. Poor guy!  Also, he had been having trouble with naps.  He would look really sleepy, fall asleep, but then wake up a few minutes after I put him down for a nap. I sat and watched him to try to figure out what was happening, and it turns out he still has a really strong Moro reflex. I started double swaddling him and now he gets great sleep during his naps instead of poor broken sleep. 

I have to rush to post this, or Kelly will send me a text asking why I'm taking so long. Ha!

Mark with his current favorite book. Thanks grandma and grandpa Henry!

He makes so many great faces!

Extreme close up. 

Flyaway hair. 

Laaaa. 

Already a heartbreaker! Alice is trying to grab his hand. 

Very suave. I think he looks like a Henry here!

He is such a sweet pea. 

Ender says see you next week!

Ten weeks!

10 Weeks!

We are so lucky to be Mark's parents! He is the most amazing little peanut. He is growing so fast and looks different every day!!  He slept through the night a few times this past week (9:30pm to 6:00am), but he loves being close to me on the days I go into work. On those nights he wakes up much earlier (around 3:30am). 

Tom is in China now, and we miss him a ton. We will be so happy when he comes back!

Getting chubby!

Mark can roll from his tummy to the left OR the right now! Amazing!

He loves a good stretch- he's grown out of his 0 to 3 clothes- as you can see. Time to put these away!

He's so precious and smiley. 

His eyes are still blue gray for now!

Sound sleeper during a catnap. 

Going to Starbucks. Thanks for the hat, grandma and grandpa Henry! Took this photo cause you can see Mark has the Lai nose. 

But otherwise I think he looks a lot like Tom- around the eyes and cheeks and chin, what do you think?

Growing too fast. I am going to so miss this time with Mark, even though I want him to grow up big and strong. 

See you next week!

Love,

Betty

Nine weeks!

Nine weeks!

Mark went to the pediatrician for his two month well visit this week! He weighs 11 pounds, 5 ounces, and he is 23.25 inches long! He got his shots, and he ended up getting a fever and being irritable. Poor mark! Otherwise, he is so alert and happy. He smiles at us a lot. And, to top it off, he's sleeping from 9:30 pm to 5:00 am now, and he's doing two of his daytime naps in the crib. Go Mark!!

With pops. Tom went to Grandpa Henry's super secret surprise party this week- it was a great success!

After dinner. 

Tom with a good tan. 

Boxing practice. 

Watching daddy. 

Doc Roe says good job Marky with eating!

Excellent multitasking- sleeping, smiling, and drooling. 

Very dapper in his sun hat!

Mommy and me time this weekend- first trip to Starbucks. 

Mark and his best friend Alice. 

Nana and Alice the bumblebee. 

Sleeping in his crib!

See you all next week!

Eight weeks!

8 Weeks!

Mark is growing so fast! I wish we could stop time for a second. 

Already out of most of his 0 to 3 clothes, can you believe! He's seeing his pediatrician on Monday, I'm curious about his length percentile.

Tom says this pic is "epic."

He's getting really good at holding up his head!

Springtime walk- Mark loved it!

He's been more comfortable taking his naps lately. He's started taking naps in his crib!

He's making the best faces now. 

He made this face when he heard Alice cry (she's the other baby in our nanny share).

Grandma says he's getting muscles!

I think he looks so handsome here- like he's rolling up his sleeves. 

Little man. 

But still a baby!

Could this be a dimple? Or is it just cute chubbiness?

And we haven't forgotten our other baby, Ender. It's just he's mostly sleeping and shunning Marky (as shown here).

See you next week!

Seven Weeks!

Seven Weeks!

Mark has a lot going on this week! 

Almost the same size as the lion!

Mark's new nanny, Nana. He likes her! But, he's definitely getting adjusted to a whole new routine. Poor Mark. 

Learning how to make faces!

Pensive.

Mark looks like a little man!

What a sweet face!

Going to have Mexican food! He was angry during lunch - good thing they were playing loud music!

Cute outfit from Grandma and Grandpa!

Ahn said I should get in some pics. Looking a little tired here- don't be fooled- I'm super tired ha!

Loving baths now! Most of the time!

Bye folks! Until next week!
