Love the Mama!

Dorian loves to give Mama kisses. Just watch out for my eyes, son!

I love FEEEEEEEET!

Dorian has discovered his fascinating feet. He plays with them, talks to them, sings into them like a microphone. He likes looking at his different pairs of socks and studying their patterns and colors. And he likes to use them as a defense when Tristan gets close.

Rub a Dub Dub, Two boys in a Tub

Dorian LOVES the "big" bath tub with his big brother. And Tristan loves to borrow Dorian's new bath toys.

One, Two, Three

I was holding Dorian in standing position one day and noticed that he comes up a bit past Tristan's waist. That's where Tristan comes up to Eric. So we posed a picture of the stair-step heights. Here it is.

Keeping Up

Dorian and Tristan are still getting along wonderfully. I'm sure that once Dorian starts moving around on his own and starts drooling on Tristan's toys, that will change. In the meantime, it's all sunshine and lollipops at the Knauer house.

Big Fat Baby

Hello. We have a big fat baby at our house. He weighs about 15 pounds now. He's going to be 3 months old in a few days. He likes chewing his hands and anything his hands have in them lately. He grabs anything that touches his hands. It's very cute. He's trying to stay sitting up by himself when we set him up that way. He's working out his leg muscles constantly with kick, kick, kicks! Tristan gets irritated with getting kicked by him, but it doesn't seem to stop him from getting right up next to his brother all the time anyway.

Here are some new pictures. The first three are from Saturday the 2nd. The other 3 are from last Monday, Dec 28th.

Two Months Gone By

Two months have gone by since baby Dorian was born. He weighed 12 pounds and was 23 inches long at his 2 month Doctor's appointment. He was sad to get shots, as all babies are. He's slobbering a lot now and chewing his hands a lot. He looks as if he's getting his incisors in already, but the doctor told me they are just mucus cysts that are normal in infant mouths. We think he looks like a little vampire though. :)

Our garage project is finally done. So Eric's office moved out of the house, freeing up a room! And Tristan is thoroughly enjoying his ROOM. We dare not call it a bedroom, for we will get a lecture, "It is not a bedroom! It is just my ROOM!" He's right, there's no bed in there, just clothes and toys.

Tristan is a big helper. He likes to help with household chores and likes to do everything himself. "I can do it myself!" and "I'm a big boy!" are words we often hear coming from him. He's very good at entertaining his brother and even at holding and patting him. Of course, Dorian adores Tristan. Just seeing him makes the little guy smile. Everyone tells us what a good baby we have, even strangers. His temperament is very similar to that of Tristan as a baby. Tristan was also a good baby. And happy - both happy babies. Enough talk, I know all you want to see are pictures! :) So here are some current ones from this last month.

Ready for the meeting.
