What Baby's Do Best

Brody and I always joke that we have a new boss and he drives a hard bargain and expects a lot of work from us, I guess its his strong work ethic. We sure have been working hard for him lately. Brody just took a job up on the North Slope of Alaska, really at the top of the world, in Oliktok Point which is outside of Prudhoe Bay. He's going to be gone for 6 to 8 weeks and Liam and I already miss him. There isn't much to do up there except for work, eat and sleep. I talked with him tonight and he is already a bit home sick. If anyone wants to send him a book or something just e-mail me and I will give you his address.
Now on to the star of the show.....He is doing great. We are on our third night in a row of really sleeping through the night. No crying at 12 or 3 or even 5. He wakes up but just talks to himself a bit, gets comfy and falls back to sleep. Now we just have to work on our nap schedule and we will be golden. We had a well baby check-up on Monday and everything was great. He is meeting all the milestones he is supposed to and his head has grown almost 1/2 an inch (that Shuck head). He seems to be leveling off on his weight for now but getting taller, about 281/2 inches. He got a couple of shots so he was a little sleepy and cranky today but none the worse for wear. I just started feeding him avocado the other day and he really likes it mixed with banana. He is doing well with all the food I've introduced so far. He loves beans to his GinGins dismay. This is his one of the moves he's started. He lays his head on his arm and looks at you when he sits in his high chair. Too cute!!!
