Turner's eight weeks old!

Turner is eight weeks old this week. He smiled at Mom for the first time last Thursday night and smiled again a lot this morning. We're pretty excited. His grin makes him look cuter than ever.

Since he's almost two months old, it was time for him to visit the doctor. She said he's doing great, and he's grown a ton! He is 23 1/4 inches long (55th percentile), 11 pounds, 7 1/2 ounces (50th percentile), and his head is 37.8 cm around (10th percentile). His legs are really strong and the doctor likes his hair. Turner smiled a lot at her too. He was having a really happy morning until they gave him a bunch of shots.  You can check out his latest growth chart here, or on the right side of the blog.

We had a great Mother's Day. We surprised Mom with a great gift, then headed to a Neal Kassanoff show, where we met up with Clark and his family. Hazel danced a lot and enjoyed getting lots of attention from people who were happy to hang around with a little girl. Clark's dad said we are following Neal Kassanoff around like he's the Grateful Dead. Mom thought that was hilarious.  Hazel and I signed a card and gave it to Mom, which she loved.

Otherwise, we've been REALLY busy because we are moving to a new house next week. Since I learned we're taking all our stuff with us, I've become more excited about it. It will be a fun place to live because I won't have to share my room with anyone and if you go out the back gate, you are at the elementary school, which has a good playground.
