Two Months Old

On May 15th, Jalen officially turned two months old. He now weighs 14lbs, 4oz and is 25 inches long, keeping him in the 95th percentile for weight and 97th percentile for length.

The second month has brought with it a lot more awareness of his surroundings. Jalen is constantly wide-eyed and now turns his head from side to side following objects and sounds. His sleep has improved to usually just waking up just once in the middle of the night. Of course that counts 5:30am as the morning. One of the most exciting things that has developed over the last few weeks is a beautiful smile. He is happy to share one of these smiles with you below.

Here Comes the Son

As he approached his 8 week birthday, Jalen and the family went away to Amagansett for his first night away from home. It also was a great way for him to celebrate Mom's first Mother's Day. Jalen got a chance to experience the beach for the first time and while it was a little misty and windy he really enjoyed himself and looks forward to going back this summer when he can play in the sand. For now he just learned the ropes from Poika on how to dig holes.

By Your Side

It has not taken long for Jalen and Poika to become friends. Jalen rarely likes to be alone (there is nothing like being in Mom and Dad's arms), but one place where he is happy is on his play mat. Well, Poika has made sure that he is not even alone during his time there.

Little Slugger

A true fan, Jalen loves to sport his Red Sox paraphernalia. He can't wait to go to Fenway someday, but in the meantime is quite content to sit at home and watch the games in Mommy's glove.

Bath Time

After graduating from sponge baths on the kitchen counter, Jalen has moved right into the sink. He enjoys these cleaning sessions much more than the previous method. But nothing is better than getting dried off when it is all over.

Rookie of the Month

Many colleges have already shown interest in the top prospect from the class of 2027. Jalen seems to have taken an interest in playing point guard and he is already working on calling plays while dribbling up the court. The problem is that he cannot seem to palm a regulation size ball just yet. So in the meantime he is sticking to a basketball his own size.

One Month Old

On April 15th, Jalen officially turned one month old. He now weighs 11lbs, 11oz and is over 23 inches long, good enough to remain in the 95th percentile. He is clearly a very good eater and is proud to show off his belly in the picture below.
