8 Weeks!

On his 8 week birthday Turner and Annie took the trip up to Broomfield to have lunch with some of Brian's co-workers. Turner was very well behaved and wore shoes for the first time!

At 8 weeks he smiles a ton, seems on the verge of laughing, and can hold is head up for more than just a few seconds (impressive feat considering how large his head is!).

Moose and Minni have decided that the little guy is officially part of their 'Pack' and have started to expect that he play fetch with them. When Turner is having tummy time Moose will bring over a toy and drop it by Turner's hands expecting that it get thrown. I keep trying to explain to Moose that we may have a few years before this actually happens, but Moose keeps trying in hopes that Turner will one day throw it for him. Very cute.

We have started to trust the little guy with his own hands (on occasion) as he can now get them in his mouth and likes to suck his fingers. We do see him poking his eyes and the eye-scratch trip to the ER is still fresh in our memories so you mostly see Turner in mittens.

He has moved into his own room (actually at 6 weeks) and can - on occasion - sleep for 5 hours straight. More often however he sleeps in 2 hour spurts... and it is like lottery every night when we go to bed wondering if he will do 5 hours. Will we get lucky tonight? Will Annie be up just once or 5 times?? (there is no in-between).
