Mother of “The Grouch”

My baby is turning 8 weeks old on Sunday!

I see Oscar changing on a daily basis. He is now able to hold his head up for longer periods of time. Just this last week he has also started shaking his head back and forth and grabbing my hair with both fists. This last part is especially frustrating when he is crying and I can’t get him to let go. He also will try to mimic any sounds I make–Last night he successfully growled back at me. It was soooo adorable!

Oscar now smiles and “talks” to people and definitely recognizes all the members of the family. One of the most exciting things of all is to see him light up when his Sissy enters the room! (”Sissy” is my 13-year-old daughter–his big sister)

I have discovered that there are a few consequences when you name your baby Oscar. For instance, most people immediately say,

“Oh…just like !”

Or they picture one of the following:

So now I have two super-cute “Oscar the Grouch” t-shirts and when I drink my morning coffee, it’s in this cool mug:
