Hey look, AC does have a daddy!

Finally, I got the camera into Cathy's hands so that she could document the fact that I do, in fact, take part in caring for this boy....some. The pics are nothing special given that I'm in them, but at least I now have proof. There are a few of Cathy with the boy too. Follow the "Arthur week 06" link to the right. And yes, that means he'll soon be 7 weeks old. And he weighed in at 9 pounds, 11 ounces yesterday the 23rd. We're thinking that his new name should be Guido Bituvalardo. But then again, it's hard to stop calling him Mr. Fussman because that continues to be very appropriate.

And this week, we have video of AC's bathtime! How exciting. Enjoy. Remember that our address is toddsherwood.blogspot.com.

Bathtime!

Arthur had a bath tonight. He's always very good with baths. He seems to really like them. More pics have been added to the "Arthur week 05" set on Flickr.

AC helps Gramma Carolyn celebrate her birthday

We visited Tekonsha on Sunday the 15th to help celebrate Gramma Carolyn's birthday....her 49th! Ummhmm. The boy met for the first time his Uncle Jeffry, Jeffry's fiancee Bev, and his Uncle Kurt. In fact, Uncle Kurt was so concerned about something spilling out of AC's diaper that AC, in fact, peed and it leaked out of his diaper onto Kurt's shirt. We're very proud of the boy.

More pics have been added to the "Arthur week 05" set on Flickr (follow the link to the right), and a really long video of the day can be found below.

Remember to view the blog at toddsherwood.blogspot.com for access to links and the video.

Congratulations Uncle Chris!

Uncle Chris came to visit on Friday night so that we could all celebrate his acceptance of a fellowship in Tampa, Florida. We're all very happy for Chris and excited for him as he prepares for this new job and adventure. We ate dinner at Pizza House so that Chris could have his beloved Chipati, and the boy was a real trooper until the final 10 minutes or so after which most people in the restaurant were happy to see us leave. More pics at the "Arthur week 05" link to the right.

AC is officially 1 month old!

In honor of AC's 1 month birthday, we've shot a new video of the boy doing....not much. But he seems to be getting more alert and aware of the world around him which is nice to see. And he's now 2 pounds heavier than his lightest weight, coming in at 8 lbs 5 oz yesterday! He is close to outgrowing his first item of clothing with many more to come for sure. A couple more new videos can be found by following the "Arthur videos" link to the right.

AC is nearly 1 month old

Arthur will be 4 weeks old as of Wednesday the 11th. We've posted a few new pics on Flickr, not many, but a few. Todd is back to work now so things are a little busier. And the boy is quite fussy at night - very gassy and cranky and uncomfortable. You might say he's collicky (sp?). Joy.

Arthur at 3 weeks doing...nothing

Arthur at 3 weeks doing...nothing,
originally uploaded by Double Dizzle.

Arthur turned 3 weeks old on Wednesday the 4th. Here's a video of him doing a whole lotta nothin' but his mom and dad still get a kick out of it.

Gramma Bonnie and Grampa John have arrived!

And they seem pretty tickled with the new addition to the family. We're planning to check Bonnie's bags when she leaves to be sure the boy isn't hidden within. Of course, after 6 weeks with us she may no longer want to take him with her.

A couple other photos have been added to the "Arthur week 03" set of pics (click the link to the right) including the one here with Cathy showing that he's getting the UM push as much as the MSU push (so off daddy's back now).
