Grandpa and Grandma Spotts are here and taking LOTS of pictures, some of which will soon be featured. In the meantime, a report on our little guys progress. Shane and I had our 6 week doctors appointment yesterday. He only cried, and quite fiercely, during his DPT and Hep B shots. Right in the upper thighs. But he recovered quickly. Recovery took a little longer for Grandma Spotts :) Because Shane is our "Indian baby" he will be receiving all the immunizations that babies here receive. Fine by us, although I will still be consulting my bro since he's a "child immunization pro"--this is what he does for a living.
Shane is now a very healthy 11 lbs. 5 ounces (good job me). His belly button looks great after the cord fell off 2 1/2 weeks later! He is holding his head up more and more, turning it on his own, and rocking to the left and right in my arms. I really have to hold him tight these days. He likes his baths but it's all about the timing. He coos and smiles regularly, especially in the morning which plants a smile on Ben's not-a-morning-person face. He's a fierce eater and not so much a consistant napper in the day. He and I are in boot-camp nap training these days, an emotionally and mentally exhausting must-do. He's sleeping through the night which gives me more rest than I've had in a month. This is a good thing which gets me through the tiring days.
He's an overall happy kiddo. There's lots of love being poured into his life, and that the best training of all.

Hi Libby Spotts and Shane! I too have a good night sleeper and a nont-so-much napper. Its a trade off....
Hi Lib - that has got to be the cutest grandson around. I can hardly wait to get my arms around him again. Lots of love to you all.
Oh my, he reminds me so much of Marshall it's eerie! The little bald head and chubby cheeks! I love it!
