Happy birthday to Jennie!

Here's a video of Shea cooing:

Can you believe that Shea is almost 4 months old? Wow! Time sure does fly...
Daphne loves holding her baby brother and constantly asks to do so.

Here are some new photos for your enjoyment:

Learning to smile...

Guess what costume Daphne chose?

Jennie took Shea to visit the doctor today. It appears that Shea has an allergy to a protein present in cow's milk (i.e., dairy products). Daphne had the same allergy for the first 6 months or so of her life. Jennie is already trying to be dairy free (no cheese, no butter, etc), but Shea's sensitivity persists.

Daphne is showing a teeny bit of jealousy towards her baby brother. "Daddy, can we put Shea in the garbage can? We don't need him anymore." It took a lot of effort to keep from laughing. I explained to Daphne that Shea is more than welcome to live in our household and that we love him very much. She was not impressed and still wants him gone. As they grow older, I think she will love him completely.

Here are some new photos of Shea playing on the floor:

What's new?

My Mom is visiting us this week. Shea has begun cooing and discovering new objects (he loves ceiling fans just like Daphne did). He does not return to the doctor for a checkup anytime soon, but he's probably pretty close to 10 pounds.

Here are some new photos of Daphne & Shea:

I weighed myself and then myself holding Shea on our home scales over the weekend. The difference was 9.6 pounds -- he's steadily gaining. Yay!

Daphne is being a typical 3 year old (not listening, acting out, throwing tantrums, and showing signs of baby jealousy). We're trying our best to keep her involved and disciplined. It's got to get easier someday, right?

Here are some new photos of Daphne acting crazy and Shea getting an old fashioned bath:
