I'm Leaving On A Jet Plane

Von's first plane ride was 3/14 from Winsor to Edmonton. We went to see his Nana and Papa Barker and to meet his Uncle Matt and Uncle Mike. He slept the majority of the trip.

On Fire Hair Design

Von's first hair cut was at On Fire Hair Design, given by Brenda
(Jen's mom) on March 9th.
He was 6 weeks old.

So Strong

Von held his bottle on his own for the first time at 2 months (by accident). But it still counts.

Von @ 2 Months

Von loves...

to cuddle
play on his mat
read "Mr. Brown Can Moo"
sleep in a swaddle wrap
sleep on our chest
when daddy blows in his face
laying on his back and watching his moble

Playing For The First Time

When Von was 6 weeks old his Nana Brenda and I had him laying on his jungle map watching the toys. Von reached up and touch the giraffe. It was the first time he had reach for an object on his own! We knew Steve wouldn't believe us but thankfully we got it on video camera to prove it. After viewing the video Steve has mysteriously "lost" it.

I Am The Man, Baby

Von had his first smile!
He smiled at his Nana Barker at 5 weeks old.
