Talmage is 3 months old

Talmage turned 3 months old on November 20th.   What can I say about sweet Talmage.  His percentiles continue to drop. He's about 13.5lbs.   He's been waking up on his own in the middle of the night and I'm fine with that.  Sometimes he wakes around 3 and others 5 or 6am .  He loves to have people pay attention to him.  He has started giving short laughs.  He smiles more than laughs but I sense a belly laugh is just around the corner.  He keeps losing his hair and its driving me crazy!  He will sleep anywhere if he's held.  He loves to be held or in a wrap.  He's such a great baby.  We are working on his head/neck control.  I hold him outward now and sitting up so he has more time to hold his head on his own.

Douglas is 7

Douglas turned 7 on Nov. 13th.  I had been asking him since Halloween what kind of friend party he wanted but he couldn't think of any theme so he didn't want a friend party.  So I told him he could invite two friends to Chuck E Cheese.  He liked that idea.  His actual bday was on a Wed so I had lunch w/ him at school.  He had a special french toast breakfast and my parents came over for dinner that night.  Instead of cake he had monster cookies and ice cream.  His request for dinner was spaghetti with hot dogs in it.  gross.  The rest of us had chicken parmesean.  Then on Friday Travis took Douglas, his 2 friends, and Harrison to Chuck E Cheese for 2 hours.  They came back here for a picnic pizza movie and had cupcakes and ice cream.
