9 Weeks
Remember the Umbilical Cord Hat that Cat's friend Whitney made? It was modeled earlier in this journal by a stuffed cat. I think Dax looks much cuter in it, don't you?

The little mister is 9 weeks old now. He's recently started squealing and laughing out loud. And last night? He slept from 9:30 PM until 3 AM. (He slept more but it was broken into little bits.) That's a record!
Aunt Carol and Uncle David sent Dax a gift of some cash. He can't wait to thank them for the very cool mobile that was purchased with it. It is very cool. The toys that hang from it have a simple pattern on one side and a more complex one on the other side so it will grow with him. Also, when he is too big for it as a mobile, the toys detach. It also has a music box and it is controlled by remote. So he'll make good use of it for a long, long time.

Hey! This thing is cool!

As you can see, he's quite pleased with his new toy.

Another portion of the money they sent went toward a Baby Bjorn. Cat and Dax have made excellent use of that as well. They used it at Borders and at Sears and they also used it to walk around the neighborhood to admire the changing leaves before they fall. Sorry I don't have a picture to post yet. The ones I took were not with the digital camera.
Speaking of pictures....there are a ton of them posted out on Snapfish. If you want to check them out, send me an e-mail at mmadayag@comcast.net.
