Back in the Digital Age

Our new digital camera arrived last Friday, and we quickly broke it open to resume documenting Jasper's life. Here is image 0001:
New in Jasper's repertoire is rolling with a purpose. Today I sat him down in the middle of his bedroom floor, and in no time he was nearly at the door. He had first pitched himself over onto his belly (a pretty common move), then rolled and rolled and rolled over to the bookcase. I was changing the sheets on his crib as this was transpiring, so I got to watch it all. He was certainly in the moment, not just haphazardly flailing about. He looks like he has some plan he's getting ready to concoct, doesn't he?



Our lives are going to change (once again) as he is on the verge of becoming increasingly mobile. (Yikes!) Time to cover the sockets and lock the cabinets. And we have started shopping for an entertainment center that will enclose the DVD player, etc. Considering how much he LOVES the remote control, I think it's only a matter of time before the lure of the lights on the DVR and DVD player are too much.


Everything goes in Jasper's mouth these days. He loves the DVR remote control, and the scratches on the bottom are a testamony to how often he grinds his teeth on the plastic. He also chews on the stacking cups, a small stainless steel bowl I let him use for playing, all his discovery toy mini stuffed animals ... and his puppy. He virtually attacks the puppy. It's hysterical!


Over the weekend, he did some chill-axin' with his daddy:


His new jammies match mommy's, too:


Jasper is a little tired here ...




Another change in Jasper's life is that he is sleeping on his tummy regularly now - and he doesn't mind it. When this started he would roll onto his tummy and then couldn't get back onto his back. When he would wake up, he would get scared and cry. Now he's totally fine when he wakes up, and he talks and plays. Below are current pictures of him napping. Drew placed the puppy in the crib for a size comparison. Take a look at the photo below of Jasper when he was just 2 weeks and 1 month old, respectively.

Very cute! I love the sleepy picture. :) I had to laugh when you said he rolls with a purpose... sounds like a book... "The purpose driven roll" Wish we could see all these changes in person. Love you! Linds (Chris, and Daisy too)

Oh my word! When did he move from baby to little boy?!? His hair is longer, he looks older, he's on the move...big changes just since the cabin! We sure miss being able to kiss those irresistible cheeks! Love you, Britt
