Edison is getting huge!

Eben & I had been thinking that Edison was getting pretty heavy. Plus, people had been saying that he's really big. But, c'mon, he's so little compared to us. Anyway, we decided to do another unofficial weigh-in and it looks like he's up to 14 pounds and he isn't quite two months old yet. (I'll have official stats next week after his 2-month doctor appointment.) If that is correct, then he is at 95% for weight on the baby growth chart. This week I also moved him into the 3-6 month size for clothes. They're still a little roomy, but seem to fit better, especially in the diaper area because I'm using cloth diapers for the most part.

Besides Edison's post-swaddle stretching, this is another contender for "cutest Edison moment."

Other milestones: Edison had his first "social smile" this past week. On occasion he now smiles back when I smile at him. That is the best thing to see Edison smile because of somthing I have done. He also continues to work on his muscles - he lifts his head up on his own some of the time now and also likes to swat at toys that hang from they bar on his car seat.
We continue to enjoy long walks each day. I think he really likes to look up at the leaves on the trees (he is still on his back in an infant seat). I hope to move him into the jogging stroller soon, but it is not safe until he can support his head fully.
Edison is getting ready for the football season. The Patriots are going to have another fantastic year!

Yes - he really is that big. Still can't move very well on his own though, so he's stuck in the couch cushions.

Edison is all jazzed up from a day out on the boat. Can you start to tell what he's going to look like when he's older? I try to imagine it often but it is hard to know yet.
