When is your baby's birthday? Ours just made it to 12 weeks on Tuesday (my wife does not believe 12 weeks= 3 months). He's been doing fine. Last week he started the putting everything in his mouth phase which I imagine will end in his college years.
I love the little lolling tongue of that age. Cute cute cute. What a terrific name! We strongly considered. considered both Elliot and Mason for our second.
LoriFLA - I carry round a CVS instacamcorder for running 'round with my two. One button and it's on. Younger Boy likes to take pictures and movies, too.
drezdn - his Birthday is May 15th - so not strictly 12 weeks. We went by dates instead.
Most of the video I've just been shooting with my mobile phone - but I may upgrade to a real camera. Using the iSight in the MacBook was a bit annoying due to the inability to adjust angles.
lysdexic - trust me he knows and uses those lungs. I need to shoot a video of him having one of his baby melt downs. Holy cow.
mrmoonpie - sounds like you've had a great week - and I'm sure there will be many more like that for your daughter and you. You may not realize it fully now but she is really going to appreciate it in the future.
Oh Joe Invisible - names are tricky aren't they? Mason is my brother's name, and Elliot comes from Port Elliot a town in South Australia where my grandparents are buried.
There are a few options when your baby is half Japanese and half Australian - but we decided to go for 2 English first names like me and then his Daddy's Japanese surname.
