Raleigh video 3

I'll admit, this isn't my best video so far. However, it contains a bunch of fun clips of Raleigh making noise.

Enjoy!

Look! No Teeth Yet!

Big Boy!

Raleigh is 14 lbs. 9 oz. now, which is below average, but according to the doctor, that is because he is a breastfed baby. She said he is a very healthy baby.

The nurse who weighed and measured Raleigh turned out to be the mother of one of Josh's highschool football teammates. Isn't it a small world?

He was also vaccinated with a bunch of vaccines so that he can remain a healthy and happy baby. We're lucky that he hasn't had any bad reactions to the vaccines. Both of my nephews had serious reactions to vaccinations. Raleigh cried so much with each shot...I wanted to cry too.

Some times he sleeps...some times he doesn't

Raleigh slept the whole night through last night!! I love that when it happens. The past two nights, it seemed like he awoke every 2 hours. I felt like I was running on empty this past weekend. So you can imagine my happiness when I woke up at 5 am this morning after having slept since 11 pm with no interruptions.

My mother-in-law is in town to visit and she has been a great help with Raleigh. She just wants to hold him as much as she can. It's a nice rest for Josh and I.

Yesterday, I changed the oil in our car (Josh showed me how), and I raked out and weeded the flower bed at the front of the house, while Josh cleaned out our car and cleaned off the deck. We're planning to put one of those plastic turtle sandboxes with a cover on our deck for Raleigh. I can't wait to get pictures of him playing in the sand.

Raleigh is teething right now; his fingers, and anything he can get ahold of, are constantly in his mouth and he drools more now. A while back, my parents purchased a vibrating teether for him and it's been working so far. His gums are white where his top front teeth are going to come out. It's hard to get a peek at his gums though, because he wants to chew on anything that get's near his mouth, including your fingers.

I love how things are always changing.

Minnesota is Winning!

According to Google Analytics, my blog gets more visits from Minnesota than anywhere else.



Come on, North Dakota, you can catch up!

A nice walk in non-negative temps...how nice!

Welcome Spring!! We are happy that you are here. We are so happy that you are planning to bring us temperatures in the 50s this weekend and we celebrated tonight by taking a red-cheeked walk outside. Josh, Winnie, Raleigh and I zig-zagged down our neighborhood streets at a brisk pace until it was dark.

Josh and I agreed that we should take the time to go for a walk every night...weather permitting.

Kansas

This week is Kansas' week, apparently.

We had visitors from Kansas. My brother Corey returned to work in Kansas. And, I guess, before his flight flew out of Bemidji, he decided to open up a bank account and the bank associate turned out to be his boss' daughter and they were originally from Kansas.

What a small world.

Here are some more pics to enjoy. I'll post another video sometime soon.
