Baby Picture

Well, he's doing very well now - around 8lbs. If you recall, he was born 8 weeks premature on Oct 1.

After several big spits and lots of screaming, I managed to get one or two good pictures of the little goofball....

All dressed up and ready for Santa!

Bet you'll have a big Christmas this year!!!

Not quite as easy as photographing flowers,is it? LOL

He looks absolutely perfect! I love the outfit!

What a little doll, and in his holiday outfit!!

What a cutie!

Yeah...flower photos are MUCH easier. :)

How adorable....Jo

what an adorable goofball.....

What a festive wiggle worm! He's just perfect, Jon!

Oh how sweet he looks.

That little guy is just so cute! Love that outfit, he does look ready for Christmas.

Looks like an elf in training...LOL! Such a beautiful baby. I'm so glad he's doing well.

Ahh, hc .. Wonderful .. And, he's growing like a weed, I tell ya! And one fine and
handsome lookin' lil chap to boot!!

He's apparently one happy little bundle of love, joy and delight! ..

I see (rather, 'read') .. that he's putting his Pop thru the proverbial 'daddy paces',
and mitey well, too! Keepin' ya on your toes already!! ..

He's dressed fer Santee no doubt, and bless his lil heart .. to me, he's resemblin'
Santas Elf 'chain gang' right now .. with all those lil stripes!! .. lol .. Such a sweet
picture of a darlin' little bundle!

And despite his spittin' and sputterin' .. he needs no tune up Pop! Just good general
maintenance and even more thorough attention and lovin', with plenty shugas and hugin's !!
An occasional ol sloppy wet shuga on the back of his neck .. is usually an added bonus, for
you parents. And even more specially so - for them ol grandy-maws and paws!! ..

Wishing you and yours a most Blessed Thanksgiving !!

Well it's about time!!!! LOL

And we only get ONE pic????? Come on Jon - I believe most folks here know you are pretty fair with the picture takin' .

Throw us a bone ! :--))) In between changes and feedings that is...

Nicole

He's gorgeous by the way! Aren't they just the neatest things?

Ok, here's one more...

Welllll, hc .. there's your 'still' shot .. He's an 'arrested' lil blossom !!
.. LOL ..

Glad you posted another pic hc .. Am enjoying them all.

Handsome little guy!
Looks like you are a very good mother!
Happy Thanksgiving to your family!

Thanks for indulging!!! They are so sweet when they are asleep!! I can really say that now since mine is almost 3!! LOL

You just wait! :-)

Thanks Jon and I don't think anyone here will get tired if you decide to post more...

Oh that Allen is a handsome little treasure! Glad to see him all dressed up and ready to go.

Jon - what a doll .....makes me want to indulge DH and have another!! But, alas, three's enough. You have lots to be joyful and proud of; he is precious.

Three is enough??? The kids, hubby and I were just discussing having numbers 7 and 8! LOL I do not like odd numbers. :) How can you not think about it when they look like that??

He is definitely a doll! The Christmas outfit is just too cute. Congratulations Jon.

Numbers 7 & 8? Yikes! Are any of yours teenagers yet 'Chele? Those are the years that make you REALLY stand up and pay attention. You think you lose sleep when they are babies, but that's nothing compared to the terrible teens. When they are babies, at least they are at home WITH you while you're not sleeping. When you're not sleeping when you have teenagers, you are pacing the floor and stressing out majorly.

My last teen, (out of 5), is 16, and we are winding down, but I'm so very tired! LOL

But I have to be honest here also. I would love to have another one if I could. The empty nest syndrome is starting to knock on the door, and I don't like it. No more basketball, football, etc. Sigh......

Wowee - you 2 have all those babes for me! Guess I'm a chicken since one seems like a lot! LOL

I am with you on the teenage part - I just LOVE babies but am not looking forward to the days when all of a sudden I know nothin! ha! and - to think of my teenage years and wow will I be worrying if mine anything like I was...

sweet little fellah..so cute.

LOL God makes them so cute when they are little, so you do not kill them when they get big. We haven't made any decisions just yet but I can't be sure I am done. If I don't have them now, while some are still cute and don't say no or why, I may never. The eldest is 11 now and on my every nerve some times. Aren't they cute?!?!!

Sorry to stomp your thread Jon. I'm sure boys are different. LOL

Jon?? Where ARE you? I believe we all know !!! :-)

More pics please!!

Hey Badseed - my almost 3 yr old boy is already saying NO!

:-( Maybe he should go stay with you for a bit!!

This is the last picture I have, but it's similar to the first one I posted. This is closer and better lighting though.

Sweet!!!

That expression is great. If you look at his face along with his little hand, it looks like he is saying "Okay Mom, listen here. This is how it's gonna be.....". LOL

.. LOL .. Badseed .. hee ..

My thoughts were similar ... " .. Any clues, ta jes how long I gotta wear dis suit .. ? "
.. hee ..

He's a mitey handsome lil feller HC ...

And .. Merry Christmas folks!

Fooling around with the video camera again. Here's a very short video of him sucking his pacifier. If only he were this quiet all the time. :)

Awwww, neat video, Jon. That takes nice shots, too.

How cool is that!!! Thanks Jon. It's also weird to hear another DGrs voice! :-))

Do again!!!! (as my son would say)

Nicole

Thanks. I really need to get the video camera out more often. The digital videos are great. Only problem is the files get HUGE if you want good quality and you go more than 30 seconds or so. Not really good for emailing to anyone. Plus, the PC runs really slow when you try to process a large video file. Oh well, for short videos it's fun and the quality is nice.

If some day I'm ever filthy rich (or I just save a lot of pennies), this is something I'd love to have. http://consumer.usa.canon.com/ir/controller?act=ModelDetailAct&fcategoryid=114&modelid=10350

That would be an awesome camera. Probably takes professional quality video (digital).

Ok well I don't even want to know what that costs.... My dream camera is still the Canon Digital Rebel and I can't even get that! LOL
