our little guy is getting so big! he was weighed at his doctor appointment today and is a whopping 7 pounds. such a cute little nugget!
he is already holding his head up quite a bit, and has such an amazing, alert gaze. i'm so totally in love...
in the middle of the night last night i took this photo of him, very content and alert after a feeding:


we are heading to michigan on monday for a nice, long visit (5 weeks!). we're really excited to see family and friends on an unrushed and mellow schedule. the flip side is that we're going to miss all of our friends here -- especially since there are a lot of people we haven't seen lately due to our new parent schedule. we are so lucky to have so many good friends!

on a very different topic, i'm really excited about eminem's new album. i've been desperately needing some new tunes, and have been really enjoying the new green day one (thanks, michael!).
regardless of what you think of eminem, you've got to love that he flew a bunch of unemployed detroit auto workers to see his performance on jimmy kimmel. way to represent detroit, em!
