Like grandpa like grandson

A picture says a thousand words.

Cousin Question Mark

Friday night, Lennox made his longest trip yet - Detroit to Loda, IL, to attend Aunt Kathy and Uncle Brent's baby shower. Cousin Question Mark is due in mid-January (it's a boy). At the shower, he was well behaved, but once the clock striked noon, it was time to eat. Baby Lennox turned into hungry beast. Kim Schneider was back in town and took a few seconds to give Lennox some love.

1 month weigh in

Saturday, Lennox had his one month checkup and weighed in at a staggaring 12 pounds 5.5 ounces - 99th percentile for 1 month babies. All other vitals looked great and he also received his 2nd dose of Hep B vaccination (blue band-aid). At the doctor's office, he bumped into Elianna (1st dinner date) again - fresh from receiving 4 immunization shots, but she was holding up well. Friday night, Lennox went over to Elianna's house for movie night, but needed to leave after all 4 parents were dozing off half way through the film.

First college basketball game

On Sunday, Lennox traveled to East Lansing to catch the Michigan State vs. Bradley basketball game. He was well behaved minus a few outbursts in the second half. You would have cried, too, if you were a Bradley fan. The final score was 82-53 MSU, one of the worst games we have ever watched in person. At least Lennox looked hot sporting his Bradley onesie.

First date

Lennox was in rare form last night when his date, lil suga, came over for dinner. This photo was taken during a moment of good behavior right after a feeding. lil suga is an older woman, at nearly 2 months old, and she displayed her maturity by being on good behavior all night ... hardly a peep. Lennox, meanwhile, was going for the "bad boy" approach. I guess he heard that's what the ladies like. Can he get a second date????

Cordless

Today Lennox's cord fell off (check out that smooth belly now) so the swimming training initiated. He had his first real bath and was quite content.

Lennox's two week weigh in

Today Lennox went in for his two week checkup and weighed in at 11 pounds. He gained 1 lb 3 oz from the last appt. We knew he was a mother-loving porker and this confirms it. Next appt is mid-December.

We have noticed his eyelashes growing rapidly. Check out the macro.

Thanksgiving 2006

Well, Lennox celebrated his first Thanksgiving and 2 week bday with a trip downtown to lovely Detroit for the 80th Thanksgiving parade. Jason and Julie enjoyed delicious veggie burgers with all the fixins. Homemade pumpkin pie was for dessert! After Lennox's nap, he took part in the annual Thanksgiving football scrimmage at the park. After the game, he was so wiped out, he napped under a tree.

Saturday night ideas

Well, Lennox had one of the worst nights ever last night. He must have known it was Saturday night and had no intention of sleeping. Lennox had his first bath in a week and we hoped he would sleep well, but after last night, we are reconsidering baths all together. I don't think he spent more than 20 minutes in his cradle last night. Feedings seemed to be continuous and Julie is wiped out today. Yesterday, Julie, Sue, Jason, and Lennox went shopping at Target and Marshalls. Lennox was on his best behavior and sporting a lovely custom orange sweater hand knitted by Bonnie (of Bonnie and Vince). Thanks guys.
