Special Moments
My sweet baby, growing so fast. I just love loving him.
This is the first time Bjorn pulled himself up to his knees and then first time up to standing!

Fall time
Bjorn is already 6 months old. Hard to believe.
Below are some pictures we took walking through Volunteer Park in Seattle. It was a beautiful fall day.

So much Fun with our Son!
Oh my goodness, we are having so much fun with Bjorn. He has become so playful, smiley, and just a joy to be with. Here is a picture of him, showing off his great physic.
This is Bjorn and I playing. He just loves to be thrown around. He laughs and smiles...melts a mothers heart!
And here is Daddy with his boy. I guess Jason is teaching him how to be either a macho man with the beer, remote and belly hanging out...or just trying to show him what real beer is, so he is not confused when he gets to college and someone presents him with a bud light.
And this is Jason giving Bjorn a bath...his hair is doing something crazy, definantly time for a little shampoo.
Uhmmmm, yeah dirty diaper...."
Bjorn always gets so smiley laying on his diaper changer, we've captured some great expressions.
So we wanted you to not only see how fun he is...you have to hear it too - his giggle is the best thing ever. Jason has invented a few fun games he plays with him...check it out.
This first one is called "the roller coaster"
And this is a little peek-a-boo action
For the record, mommy plays games with him too, stay tuned for a little "shake your booty".

More Family Time
It's been a fine week for Bjorn, Jason and I. Bjorn got to spend some more time with family this week as my parents came into town. He also met his uncle Matt (my brother) for the first time. He loved that.
We all had dinner at PF Changs. Uncle Jeremy came down to have dinner with us too.
This picture is just so super sweet, I had to post it. I dont really have a story to go with it though...so just adore it with me.
Bjorn has the greatest grandparents.
I love how he responds to my mom and dad. My dad just gets so cute with him. Here is a picture of my dad playing with Bjorn on his playmat outside. What is so classic about this is that my dad fell asleep. My dad falls asleep anywhere anytime, but I have to admit that this was the first time that I saw my dad fall asleep on my lawn.
Bjorn has been smiling since he was 5 weeks old. But the boy gets so awe struck by the camera every time I pull it out that I dont quite capture his joy. But the pictures below are perfect! And as you can see...it is grandma that is bringing on that big grin.
Ohhhh...dont you just want to squeeze the little guy! He melts my heart.
Well, I got to go, Sofia (my cat) just brought a bat into the house! Jason is in Seattle, so I will have to barricade myself in my room until he gets home (I really hope Bjorn sleeps through the night tonight! I am afraid that if the bat flew by while I was feeding Bjorn in the night, my instinctual reaction would be to throw something at it and run...I really wouldnt want that "something" to be my child). Bats in the house..I thought that only happened in Minnesota! Wait...what is this...now my cat wants in my room...no way kitty, you brought that bat in here now you have to hang out with it.

I was born in the USA...
Bjorn is enjoying his independence...we think. It is kindof hard to tell from this picture, we tried to get him to yell "FREEDOM" but he kept giving us this same look.
Bjorn celebrated his first 4th rocking out with his dad in Freeland, WA (and yes Freeland is the name of a real town in washington...where Daydreamer played at the Celebrate America event - I know, how fitting.)
He got all dressed for the event in his "i am with the band" onesie.
Here is Bjorn actually with the band...
Bjorn had fun playing with Sean. So much fun that he started drooling. And then his head got tired, so Sean had to help him hold it up.
Bjorn is just so cute - our all American boy!

Bjorn - 2 months old!
Yesterday Bjorn turned 2 months old. He is growing so fast and constantly doing new things that he couldnt do before.
He is weighing in now at 12 pounds and 2 1/2 ounces...which is right at the 50th percentile. He was born in the 90th percentile so...he has appropriately regressed toward the mean.
He is tall though...he was born at 21 1/2 inches and now is at 24 3/4 inches, which puts him in the 95th percentile. His cousin Ryan is also really long. Tallness is a dominate gene, so a bit of Bryant has carried through to Amanda and my children. Bryant always says that taller people are more successful. Well, Bryant is tall and he is successful so it must be true...especially since Bryant says it is true, because Bryant is also always right (at least according to Bryant - and according to me he usually is right, so that leaves Bjorn with pretty good odds). :) Plus I read that first born children have higher IQ's (and this is from an actual study...you know where the scientific method is employed), so Bjorn will at least have that going for him if the tallness thing doesnt work out.
Bjorn wore shoes the other day for the first time. He looks like such a little man, it's just so cute.
Jason reminds me that he is a little man. Bjorn also got his first set of immunizations today. 5 immunizations...3 shots! He was pretty tough. He didnt cry after the first shot, probably because he was thinking "what the heck was that"...and then when it happened two more times he didnt really care what it was - it hurt. Still though, he only cried for a minute or two. Bjorn certainly did not inherit my tolerance for pain (essentially I have no pain tolerance).
Tomorrow is my 30th birthday. I am looking forward to it. Jason has some special surprise for me. I have also been storing milk away the last two weeks so I could eat and drink whatever I want. I am learning that Bjorn doesnt care much for onions or peppers...or chili oil, which leaves thia food pretty much off my plate.

Our time in Colorado
Jason, Bjorn and I had a great time in Colorado visiting my sister. Here are a few pictures from the trip.
Bjorn met his new cousin, Ryan Daniel Egan, for the first time. They are exactly 3 weeks and 7 minutes apart in age.
Bjorn also got to meet his cousin Hannah who is about to turn 2 on Saturday. Hannah is so much fun. She is such a social little girl. She lights up the room with all her joy.
We spent a lot of time at the splash park in the sun. It was only a 5 minute walk from my sisters house. Hannah liked to push her new brother in the stroller.
My parents flew down to colorado so my dad could see the new boys. It was so great to spend time with them...and so nice to have extra loving arms around to hold our babies. They love their grandma and grandpa.
While we were there, we found out that Bjorn can already bear his own weight. He is not so good at balancing, but the boy can stand. We pulled out Amanda's baby einstein play thing and he stood in it and had tons of fun.
Amanda and I hung around the house a lot...I say that like it was relaxing - with 3 kids it is more like "action packed".
Jason arrived just in time for father's day. Bjorn gave Jason a coffee mug and some coffee beans and some lounging pants and Kaluah Coffee cheesecake from the cheesecake factory. I am getting Jason a fishing rod so he can take Bjorn fishing.
Overall, it was a blast...I love spending time with my sister so much.
