Cry Cry Cry

Hi. Hello. How are you? I'm good. Thank you for coming to the blog to see if there is a new post. As you've probably noticed you may not have read this post before so it is quite possible that it is new. As you may have guessed from the title, yes, Delson cries a lot for the past two days. It is really loud and sounds like he hurts a lot. The other day he was crying hard and I had to check to see if he had broken bones. Luckily he didn't have any. I was glad about that. He is really gassy and completely and utterly not happy with it. Other than that he is still big and still a baby. Dallon came home finally and we're glad to see him. I just realized this post sounds kind of negative. On a more positive note, he did sleep 8 hours last night and when he's in a good mood he smiles a lot and tries to talk with us. I guess that should make up for all the negativity.

2 Months Young

So I, Kristen, am finally writing again. Alex has kinda taken over the blog. Who would have known? I'm very grateful for all of his posts though. He just loves his little boy as you can tell.

Delson had his 2 month appointment today. It is hard to believe how big he is getting already. He is 25" long which puts him in the 97th percentile and he is 13 lbs which puts him in the 75th percentile. He is growing so quickly and time is just flying. It is so funny to see him next to his new cousin because even though they are only 2 months apart, Delson is SO much bigger it seems like. It's incredible what a difference 2 months makes.

My aunts came to visit over the weekend and we had a great time. They really enjoyed watching Delson while Alex and I went on a Valentine's Day date. Thanks for coming Aunt Pam and Aunt Darcy! I had such a good time with you and I'm so glad that you got to see Delson! After his bath one night while they were visiting, he just talked and talked and talked to my aunts. He was all smiles and coos. It was awesome! I love it when he talks and smiles. Those are the best moments ever! Here are some pictures:

One very happy grandma!

Time To Compare Cousins

Okay we just saw Dean and Sarah's baby Braden Dean again tonight and stole away some pictures while we were there.  I put up a brand new picture of Delson so you can compare with a couple pictures of brand new Braden and see how much they look or don't look like cousins, however you want to see it.  

(The above pictures are Braden and below pictures are Delson)

Video Time

Sharee criticized me relentlessly about not having a video.  So I put together a quick little bite of film for everybody to enjoy.  I tried to get him to smile forever and he even talked back to me a little bit.  Nobody else will probably agree with me about him talking back, but I don't care.  I feel like we were holding a genuine conversation with each other so get off my back.

Guess What

Okay there isn't really anything to guess. I just felt like saying that. I have a couple of new pictures taken last night so they are very recent. I have a picture of him giving us his most convincing frown. We get to see it all the time so I guess I'll share the wealth. Oh and the other is Delson stretching his arm out in his sleep getting ready for disco to make its mad comeback.

Little Man Update

Okay we still have a kid and he's still happy.  There is a picture of him smiling big.  I wasn't there at the time, (I have seen other smiles though) but Kristen said Stephanie was running her hair over his face and he really liked that.  Karen and Stephyweffy came to visit.  They flew in on different days and flew out on different days, but it was fun nonetheless.  They got some good quality time in with the little man and Stephanie finally met him in person.  He still likes his sleep and it seems he gets cranky when he's awake, so he's just like his Dad.  

One Month Old and Growing Big

Delson is now one whole month old. I can hardly believe it. We had his one month doctor visit yesterday and he weighed 10 lbs 11.5 oz and was 23.5 inches long! He grew 3 inches in one month! Wow! He is a growing boy for sure. The doctor is very pleased that breastfeeding is going so well for Delson and so are we. Now I hope he just starts sleeping 6 hours at night. That would be very helpful. Here is a picture of Delson in a cute hat, sweater, and booties that my Aunt Darcy knit for him.
