4:22am

Sunday morning at 4:22 am I heard crying.  What?!?!  He has been sleeping solid through the night (9-10 hours, sometimes more) for over a week.  I waited a bit to see if it would stop and when it did not, I went to check.  This is what I saw (sort of...I took the picture once I got him out of his crib and to his changing table).  He had kicked out of not only his blanket (which is quite common) but also his sleeper.  Somehow he had, with his feet, undone the snaps across the bottom of his sleeper and his little legs and feet were hanging out and so cold.  Once he was all taken care of he was back to sleep.  Silly Boy! :)

Photos of our 2 month old

Favorite Mommy's side Uncle Clint came back for a visit!  Mommy keeps telling me there are two more uncles on her side of the family but I'll have to wait til Christmas to meet them...I'm excited for Christmas.  Aunt Dayna was here last weekend and we did not take any pictures. :(  Mommy needs to be better about taking pictures.

This is me hanging out in Daddy's friend Austin's $6,000 bed...he made a video for some fancy bed store and they paid him with a fancy bed.

I lift my head so high....and still have blue eyes.  Mommy keeps telling me they will soon turn brown like hers.  We'll see...

I love to streeeeeetch!

I also love sugars from Mommy...it's a good thing because I get a lot of them all.day.long. :)

I like my arms out when I sleep.

I am a super baby, so say my Mom and Dad.

2 months

Where are the last two months?!  It really seems like it was just the other day that we held The Boy Baby at 4:48 am and laughed at the days to come.  In the last 60 or so days we have definitely laughed a lot (and cried, been frustrated, thought we were terrible parents, etc).  God has been very kind to us.  We praise Him, the Giver of good, good gifts.

The 2 month numbers:
Weigh t= 10 lbs 8 oz (25th percentile)
Length = 23 1/8 in (50th percentile)
Head = 40 cm (when they first measured they said 45 cm and when the doc came in she checked again since 45 cm is a 4 month old head!)

He lifts his head SOO high and just looks around all proud of himself.
He rolls over from stomach to back and laughs at himself...or maybe he's laughing at me because I'm so excited.
He has started noticing more around him...his mobile, the toys on the bouncy seat, etc.  It's pretty cute and fun to watch him see something, you know, realize it's there.  He looks intently at it and will smile and stare. 
He sometimes can fall asleep on his own...other times (maybe most times) he needs time with mom or dad walking, rocking and singing so he can fall asleep.  And, well, sometimes I just hold him and I enjoy every minute of it because he is already growing too. too fast.  I know, I know...I'm spoiling him.  Right now I do not mind at all that he might be a cuddly lil mama's boy. ;)
He fights and fights to get one or both arms out of the swaddle before he can fall asleep.  (Unless we have rocked him to sleep and then put him down, ha!)
He is in a good 3 hour, eat-wake-sleep pattern. Most of the time...
He has sleeping 9-10 hours!!
His stretches are so cute!  His daddy likes to be the one to wake him up so he can unwrap him and watch him streeeeeetch. 
He is precious.

Watch him grow...

2 days old

4 days old

One month old...in the same outfit, can you tell how crammed in his legs are?! :)

I love...

...watching him sleep...and how he gets that left arm out.  Sometimes he will grunt and grunt trying to get that arm out and once it is out he is out. 

...walks in the ergo...this was after we walked over to vote.  As you can tell, he thoroughly enjoyed his first experience with democracy.

...just hanging out with these two.

7 weeks old

We are blessed and enjoying every minute.

Our good friends the Zicks came to visit...Meghan took these photos and blessed us with her artistry.  Isn't he sweet?!?

Trick or Treating

"You mean I get to eat tons of candy?!"

"Wait a minute...I don't know what candy is..."

Baby's 1st Halloween and his first pumpkin...next year we'll let him have some candy. :)

These are some of my favorite photos.  The video is a little long, but you might get a laugh...this is what Sunday mornings getting ready for church look like at our house.  Thanks Aunt Dar for the bib. :)
