The Big 3

Yesterday we celebrated Adisu's third birthday. In truth his "birthday" (no one really knows his birthday) is not for another 2 weeks. But Dr. Daddy wanted to be there for it and little people can't read calendars, so yesterday it was.

Eskil and Dr. Daddy entertained us with giggles and raspberries.
(Eskil giggled and blew raspberries, Dr. Daddy tickled and tossed to get the response- just to clarify)

These Days

My parents are here visiting for a while. They have two new grandsons to meet and get to know and the grandkids are doing their best to charm.

Having grandparents around also means that they can decide that we need an updated family picture.

Four Months!

Eskil is now four months old. He weighs in at 14# 1 oz (nearly double his birth weight) and is 24 in. Our little chub-a-lubs weighs more than Eirena did at this age but is 2 inches shorter. But he is doing all the cute things that 4 month olds do and keeps us smiling.

catch his eye, win a smile
as someone remarked, "he has a flirty eye"

His leg crinkles- aren't they cute?
(poor kid is going to hate me when he is... 10?)
