Jaspy Halloween!

Mummy and baby

Love this new pic of Jasper and his mum!

Local family

In between visits from out-of-town family -- Lucy Frost arrives next week! -- we shouldn't forget about another recent visit from family that actually lives in town. A couple weekends ago, Jasper met his first cousin once removed (checked wikipedia to be sure about that one!), Robin, and her husband Adam, who live only a couple miles away. Robin is Clea's cousin, so I think the once removed designation is correct ... right?

Adam gets credit with a special achievement -- extracting from Jasper what we informally consider to be his first real smile! Here are Robin, Adam and Jasper, moments after returning from a lovely brunch a couple weekends ago.

Two months old!

(These photos actually from a card Jasper made for his daddy last week, with possibly assistance from his mummy.)

At his two-month checkup today, we discovered that Jasper has grown three inches and gained four pounds in the last five weeks! That's right, he's now weighing in double digits, at exactly 10 pounds. No wonder we're starting to notice some changes in him!

A couple more

Before we say goodbye to the visit from the Armstrongs, here are a couple more cute photos that just had to find their way onto the blog:

Photo shoot

Jasper's paparazzo grandfather takes some shots while Jasper strikes a pose. Then again, he doesn't really have that many poses, and striking them occurs somewhat passively.




Thanks for a great visit, "Grandpa" (for now) and Didi!

Placid Jasper

We've had nothing but rain since the elder Armstrongs arrived in town, so most of our photography and video has taken place indoors. But that doesn't mean we haven't gotten some good stuff. Here's Jasper under the spell of his grandfather:
