George in his golfing shoes
Apparently we have monsters in our apartment. George has taken care of saying “Go away MONSTERS” and all but one has left. He informed us that there is a friendly little monster who is green (mama’s favorite color)and that it is ok that he stays around. In addition to that G has enjoyed his little golf set and puts on his ‘golf shoes’ to play inside. He has good form and a pretty good swing. I don’t know much about golf other than George enjoys it. That’s all that matters.
This past week we got a note from George’s teacher that shared a funny story – it went like this: We were getting dressed to go outside today, George went to his cubby and grabbed a pair of gloves. When he came back I asked him to put them back because I already got him a pair. After being asked a few times to put them back he did and when he came back in the room he said “I’m looking at you with my mad face” then made a mad face! It was so cute. So every time someone did something they shouldn’t have George gave them a mad look.
We are increasingly aware of his ‘faces’ and emerging personality that is flooded with lots of talking. I am realizing how to explain things to him. Up until now I have told George that I nurse and feed Stu with my ‘girl parts’. Today we went into the Hanes/Leggs outlet store to pick something up and he went right up to a mannequin and squeezed the breasts saying “look mom, girl parts”. I think Kari is right to say that it is time to buy a body book.
Stuart is getting bigger – completely in 3 – 6 month clothes and drinking about 6 oz each time he eats. He has had a good first week of school and the teachers say he is a pretty good baby. They have so many things for him to ‘play’ in it isn’t a surprise that he

is sleeping well. We see notes of 1 – 2 hour naps at a time. He is sleeping pretty well at night too. He’ll sleep from about 7:30 pm – Midnight/1 pm then eat and go right back to sleep. He’ll wake again between 4 -5 am but doesn’t fall asleep well on his own after that feeding. However, I am grateful for the 6 hours I get to piece together during the night. 🙂
George continues to be a warm and loving big brother. Last night he asked to feed Stuart with a bottle and today we let him. He did a nice job. He is so proud and very attentive to Stuart’s needs. This weekend we have Tim & Linda coming to visit and will be enjoying the Super Bowl with an evening of snacks and goodies.
Stuart loves the bath - very comfortable with water.
