Mom went out of town for a few days over the weekend. When she left, he still needed some help to sit up and stay up
By the time mom returned, he was sitting up and leaning over without help and also, without falling over (at least most of the time).
Its hard to believe that Foster's been hanging out with us for more than 4 months already!
Time has flown by! He's a smiley, happy little guy who loves to be around his family.
He pays close attention to what big sis does. She is very good at taking care of him and making sure he's included and never "alonely."
Foster is tipping the scales at 16lbs and more than 26" long. He's just discovering his hands and feet and is very good at grabbing his toys for inspection and tasting.
Typically, Foster will go to bed around 10pm with Mom. He usually wakes up between 2:30-3:30 to nurse for a bit before falling back to sleep until around 7 or 8 am.
Last night, June 28th, he slept right thru his normal mid-night snack time. He slept until almost 6am...8 hours!
This weekend, we finally had some decent, warm weather and (hopefully) past any frost. So, it was time to plant the garden.
Dad did a great job building a nice raised bed out of cedar posts and then filling it with a mixture of compost and soil.
After picking up some tomatoes, squash, and chard from the store Mom, Stella, & Foster planted the garden.
We had some well deserved ice cream!
Foster is very smiley and friendly to most anyone who talks to him.
Yesterday, 6/12, he laughed for the first time. Mom was playfully pulling his bottle away from his mouth when he let out a short chuckle.
He seemed to like the game and continues smiling and cooing for several minutes.
Foster's favorite thing to do these days is to sit up and observe his surroundings, especially his big sister.
Its hard to tell from the angle of the picture, but he is intently watching Stella build a tower.
He loves to see everything that is happening around him particularly related to what Stella is doing. She is very good at playing with him. She patiently tells him everything she is doing, gives him hugs and kisses, and makes sure he is comfortable.
Its hard to believe that Foster is already 3 months old! Mom is heading back to work tomorrow, June 1st.
Although he won't have another official weight check until his 4 month visit in a few weeks, we weighed him on the scale at home and he is just over 14 lbs.
