Fifteen Weeks!

Baby Yosh is 15 weeks old today!  Holy cow!  He is getting so strong... When we lean him against something to sit, he tries to lean forward and sit up himself!  Wow!

This week in Yosh-land...

Baby Yoshi gave Buddy the dog a pat. And also tried to eat his fur.

Peyton wore his fancy bow-tie suit to Aunt Laura's book signing.  Yay EatPGH!

The Yosh received his Romney shirt in the mail.  Sadly, his support efforts were too little, too late.

Peyton wore his turtle shoes to Aunt Nicole's baby shower.  The Yosh was a hit amongst the ladies there.  All the attention tired him out and he fell asleep during present opening time!

In other news:

Still loving his jingle zebra...

And swaddling...

And his cool dude sunglasses...

And tummy time for about 90 seconds until he gets mad.

The Yosh sat unassisted on his softee lion without rolling off the side!  Hooray!  He didn't seem so sure about this situation, however.

Spent some time in the cold, so Peyton wore his bear suit. Sweet. 

We went through the car wash for the first time and emerged sans tears.

Baby Yoshi still likes to play (AKA chew on) his blue elephant and his rainbow giraffe.

The Yosh has been sleeping for long stretches each night!  AND...has been going to bed earlier so Mom and Dad have some free time in the evening.

When Baby Yoshi was not busy doing all of the fun stuff above...he liked to dress like his daddy.  Twins!

He also enjoyed walking at Twin Lakes.

Baby Yoshi sure is a busy guy!  And did we mention strong?  

He's like the incredible hulk...  Only way more awesome.  

Until next time...enjoy this picture of him tearing his monkey jungle gym apart.

Fourteen Weeks!

Fourteen weeks today!  The Yosh is such a big boy!

He is also super smart...as if you had any doubts.  Check out the videos of him batting at his toys (an advanced skill for his age) and another of him actually laughing (not just squealing with delight)!

This week, Peyton celebrated his first Thanksgiving and visited with lots of people!

Uncle Eric

Great Grandma

Julia

Alyssa

Aunt Joanne

It was fun...but tiring!

 Good thing Baby Yoshi has lots of fat stores to keep his energy going.

The Yosh uses a lot of that energy being unbelievably cute.  See below.

This lip biting/chewing thing seems to also be a newly acquired skill.

And in case you didn't watch the video, here is picture evidence of his batting skills.  Take that jingle zebra.

Other events this week...

 Peyton enjoyed some chill time with a newly beardless Uncle Mike. 

Mom, Dad, and Baby Yosh all made it through a meal at Chili's without incident.

 The Yosh-Ma-Tosh got his sleep on in his moose slippers...

And also enjoyed eating his soft dog blanket.

Can't wait to see what The Yosh will do next!  Bye for now!

Three Months!!!

Just a quick post to commemorate The Yosh's official 3 month birthday (and first Thanksgiving AND first trip out of state to West Virginia)!  We survived the day and only peed through one outfit.  YAY!  

We love you Peyton!

More Thanksgiving pics to follow in week 14's blog post.  Happy Thanksgiving!

Thirteen Weeks!

Thirteen weeks today!!  Peyton is so big that he's ready to play some hoops.  Watch out NBA...specifically Jeremy Lin.  There's another Asian coming your way!

We had a great week with our little b-baller.  Once again there are just too many super pics of this super baby, so we included a lot!!!!!!  Enjoy yourself!

The Yosh likes to hang in the kitchen looking at his plastic lion with Mom while she's cooking.

He also enjoys staring at the lion in the living room.

When the lion is removed, then Baby Yoshi likes to chillax.

Sometimes, Peyton likes to be a Nike model.

And sometimes he doesn't...

This week, Peyton slept for over 9 hours straight!

Sadly, later in the week, he decided he was going to only sleep for 45 minutes at a time.  During nap time, Dad got desperate.  Peyton will sleep with a pillow on his legs (with adult supervision of course!).

At night, we decided to swaddle!  SUCCESS!  Back to long stretches of sleep...

 Peyton is getting so good at holding on to things with both hands!!

Baby Yosh is becoming better at holding his head up on his own.

Peyton has been talking A LOT this week.  He was also being very expressive...

The Yosh loves his Zebra toy during tummy time.

That's all for now.  Hope you have a happy zebra-filled day!
