talk, talk, talk!

our little man is growing more and more each day and lately he's become quite the conversationalist. he loves to sit up or lay next to me and talk--he has so much to say! cooing, gooing and squawking our days away.

baby laughs

Julius is baby laughing!!! This makes us indescribably happy. When Sylvia first started laughing, doing that bubbly baby chuckle, we would spend hours trying to get her to laugh again. "Grubbing for baby laughs," we'd call it.
Now we spend quite a bit of time laugh-grubbing with Julius, too. He likes to feel hair shaking in his face, and he likes to be tickled in his belly and ribs.
He's also been very "talky," as Sylvia says. He'll talk to the fan, to his mobile, and most of all, to us. He's very expressive. I wonder if he'll be as verbal as Sylvia?

home photo shoot

i took these photos of our little man over labor day weekend.
at some point we need to have a proper portrait of him made but i thought these would do until then. i did use photo imaging software to soften up the images and unfortunately in playing with the lighting you're unable to see how blue his eyes are. otherwise, they turned out quite well.




this past tuesday(september 2,) julius had his 2 month check up. he weighed in at 14.5 lbs with a length of 23 inches. he's healthy as can be and such a doll.
