First Day of School

Off to my first day of classes, first up was teaching the undergrads then off to my regular classes.

Bath Time with Mommy...

Stewart is loving the bathtub...


big laugh...

More from the Kitchen Sink bathtub...

A suspicious duck has flown onto the edge of the bathtub...



Please Daddy Papparazzi, no more photos...


Feels sooooo good.

Jersey and Stewart hanging out on the bed...

OK, before everyone gets all up in arms about one of the photos, I was very safe with little Stewart. Plus, we all know that Jersey is the best dog in the world. Anyway, here are a couple of good ones....

Jersey resting on "his" bed.



Stewart, hanging out with his big bro. Stewart loves to have one of his burp cloths with him, kind of like Linus. He never notices when it is gone, but he likes to keep it around.

Rolling Rolling Rolling

New pasttime is the roll in the crib and cry for mom and dad. Stewart does this a few times a night which has made us long for our child that used to sleep 8-12 hours straight.

Oh well, another phase.

Vaccinate Me!

Stewart had his vaccinations this week, not the most fun we've had but it is better than getting dipheria, tetanus, or hepatitis. He was all happy and giggly and then had a look of disbelief as the first of three needles went in his leg. The look was soon replaced by the widest I have ever seen his mouth open accompanied by the loudest I have ever heard him scream. He calmed down after a few minutes, then I took him to Dairy Queen for a Blizzard (just kidding).

In other news, he weighed 12#, 15oz and was 25" tall(?)

King of the Crib

Stewart hanging out in his new crib (thanks to neices Stephanie and MacKenzie) - he loves it. He wakes up by turning over and staring at his mobile.

The journey to Indiana...

the family truckster is loaded up and ready to go from our rental in Yarmouth...pretty cool house, huh? Jersey did not go in the trailer.

Brenna looking serious as she takes the first leg.

Stewart in a good mood. He did not like the long rides in the car.

Jersey, the king, had the back hatch all to himself. Three windows on which to slobber.

Dinner at Ferry Beach

Brenna, Stewart and Jersey having some dinner at Ferry Beach . This beach is where Brenna and Peter went on their first date. Now we go there all the time to bring Jersey so he can play with other dogs and in the ocean. The water was actually warm.

Sunset at Ferry Beach

not much else to say here...

Aunt Paige and her nephew

Hanging out on the hammock at the farm reunion

The Heggie Cousins...

9 of the 11 Heggie cousins posing for a photo. Karly (cousin #1) made t-shirts for all the cousins, including a onesie for cousin #11, Stewart!

Growing....

So Stewart was weighed yesterday, comes in at 12# 7oz.
Mom packed up his 0-3 month clothes and he is now showing in his 12-18 pound wardrobe.

the mohawk? It is still there, but barely. Hair is coming in more and more and it is flattening out.

First Night in the Crib...and New Weight

Stewart slept for the first time in his crib last night. We (more B) made the plunge and put him to bed in there to get him out of the habit of sleeping in our bed. One wake up in the night at 2am was worth it.

In other news...we visted the doctor and Stewart weighs 12# 7 oz.

First Babysitting

Mimi and grandad came up for the afternoon and watched their grandson for the first time while the parents had dinner with tom and Liz. We are making the rounds, I guess you'd call it, before we head back to Indiana in 12 short days.

I promise more photos soon, less commentary...

Beach to Beacon 2004

I am slow. 45.30 something for the race.

Fun race, warm up on big dog alley, rain at the start, a bit humid. Rainy at the finish.

Better luck (and training) next year.

Mom's Day Out

Dad and Stewart spent the afternoon together and Mom got some free time and did some shopping all by herself for about 7 hours. Amazing how he likes to drink from the bottle when the "milk truck" is not around!
