2 Month Dr. Appointment

We took Jasper to the doctor yesterday for his two month appointment. He weighed in at 12 lbs. 1 oz (57th percentile) and measured 24 inches long (80th percentile).

First Road Trip

Mike and I took Jasper, my mom, and Nick to Paducah with us this past weekend to visit my grandparents. He travelled very well and slept the entire time. We'll see if he ever manages to do that again. It only took us an hour longer since we had to stop and feed him and change his diaper. It was a successful trip in my opinion. MawMaw and PawPaw were so excited to meet him. Here are a couple pictures we took when we were there. 

SMILES

For a few weeks Jasper has been smiling and I've been trying to get a picture of it, but when the camera comes out he starts to frown. I FINALLY got some this past weekend. Just in time for our photo session with the photographer. Let's hope he'll do it for her.

Murdy and his new brother

It has been a big adjustment for Murdoc since he is no longer the baby of the family. He ignored me for the first three weeks and decided he didn't want to sleep in our room anymore. Once Jasper started moving around more, Murdoc showed more interest. He started being protective when other animals are around Jasper and decided he'd move back into our room at night. If Jasper is crying and I can't get to him right away, Murdoc will get up and stand by him to make sure he's okay. Here are some pics we took of him getting to know Jasper. What a sweet boy Murdy is!

Some mini-swamp pictures

I somehow missed getting any pics of Jackson Mando while he was visiting. Below are two mini-swamps getting to know each other.

MWAH!

SWAMPS

My friends Tricia and Amy came to visit also while Susan was in town so we could get all the swamps and mini-swamps together. For those of you that don't know, swamps is something we call each other from our college days. The only swamp missing was Beth-swamp :-( We missed you B!

Jasper meets Maya

My friend Susan and her family came in town for a few hours visit on their way back to Knoxville. These are pics of her little girl Maya when she and Jasper first met. Jasper looks a little freaked out in the second picture but he quickly warmed up and became very interested in her. Susan and I are hoping to be in-laws someday.
