Going to See the Doctor

Today we went back to see the doctor who delivered Silas. Tina wanted him to look his best so she dressed him up nicely.

He was enjoying the clothes until dad started taking hundreds of photos of him.

"Aren't you done yet Papa?"

"No son. Just a few more closeups!"

Tina never lets ME wear my shoes to bed but Silas can get away with it.

Silver Spoons From Grandmom and Granddad

Grandmother and Granddad Graves sent Silas some beautiful silver cutlery with his name engraved on the handles. People may wonder if Silas can now be considered "born with a silver spoon in his mouth." I can assure you this is not the case. It has taken him weeks to acquire a silver spoon and these were from his grandparents! I guess we know who's paying for college!!!

Ok Silas... Spoon or bottle? Hmmmm...

Playpen

Silas has it all! This playpen will allow him to play safely anywhere. Thanks Oma.

I was going to demonstrate how it folds up into a tight little ball, but Tina insisted I take Silas out of it first. (She takes away all my fun.)

Enjoying a Bottle

As Silas enjoyed a bottle of Tina's milk, it made me thirsty for some mineral water!

Big Boy

Silas is growing so fast! He last weighed in at 6.2kg/13.6lbs!

I'll try to get his current height next time I have a ruler, better make that a yardstick. LOL

"Deep Sea Explorer" is an outfit for a three-month-old and our seven-week-old is already wearing it. YIKES!

Silas Digs Daddy

Really Papa? Do I have to wear this again? It's so embarrassing!

Thank you for covering me.

Swingin'

Silas' Oma (Tina's mom) bought him a swing. He loves it!

We set it by the window so he can enjoy the sunshine.

Mom is Always There

Tina takes such good care of Silas. What a great mum!

Sleep Anywhere

When you're tired, you'll sleep anywhere!

Profile

Silas fell asleep on his side. A perfect opportunity to get a profile shot. I swear, his ears don't look this Spock-ish in normal light.

Fun With Blankets

We had a little photo shoot with a bunch of blankets.

These are a few of the hundreds taken.

He is just too cute!

Morning Time

My favourite time of the day is when Silas is fed, clean and ready to cuddle with his Papa.

Such a happy little boy.

I could stay here all day.

"Aren't I cute?"

Growing

This must sound ridiculous but we were really sad about switching from newborn nappies to big boy ones. : (

Who Does Silas Look Like?

Many people have commented on how Silas looks more like me or Tina. I thought I'd settle this once and for all and let you be the judge. Please comment to cast your vote.


Okay, does he resemble me or Tina????

Oma Returns Home

These photos show only smiles, but we were really sad to say goodbye to Silas' Oma. I know they'll both miss each other.

One VERY proud Oma.

Tina had to stay close to prevent her mom from sneaking Silas on the aeroplane.

First Birthday Shirt - One Month Old

Thank you Tia Jazmin for the birthday shirt! I'm trying to give you a hug.

Classic Nude Shot

At the risk of embarrassing my son in years to come, I figured we'd take a classic nude shot.
 

Spidy Socks

Tina is beginning to enjoy putting socks on Silas. These are some cute Spiderman socks from Ang and her son Levi.
