2 Months

Well sweet baby boy, you are 21 weeks today and I am just getting around to writing about your 2 Month update. 

This month started with a bang.  You celebrated your 2 month birthday in the ER, but we discussed that here.  Two days later I took you for your 2 month appointment.  And you got shots.  Yikes....you were not a happy boy.  I think you were hungry and for some reason did not enjoy the tylenol (generic don't worry) I gave you to help with the shots.  But otherwise you are doing great!  Dr. Wendy says you look great.  You weighed 10 pounds, 7 ounces and were about 25 inches long.  Even though that put you in a low percentile for weight, you are still gaining and growing and that is good!  You didn't have much reaction to the shots, though you were tired.  You also got a liquid vaccine.  I think that gave you an upset tummy because your poopy diapers were kind of nasty for a day or two.  Speaking of diapers, you are still in size 1 diapers.

We had a visit from Daddy's friend Brice.  I don't have any pictures to share with you, but he definitely gave you some lovin'.  

You found yourself in the mirror, though the books say you didn't really know you were looking at yourself. You just like the reflection.  But it was still fun to share that with you!

We had some scary weather this month and one day Mommy thought she was going to have to take you and Barley into the powder room for protection.  Fortunately, it didn't get that bad. 

Mommy and Daddy went on our first "date night" and you slept for 9 hours!!  Thank you sweet boy!

You "replied" Hi to Daddy or at least that's what we're saying you did! ;)  

You outgrew your 0-3 month clothes...I packed them up and started getting out your 3-6 month outfits.  Though, I have a feeling you won't be in the footed 3-6 month stuff very long.  You are a tall boy.  

You went to church for the first time - we went to the Ash Wednesday service.  It was a nice introduction for you as it was smaller and shorter than a traditional Sunday service.

You are getting so good with your hands this month.  You bring everything up into your mouth.  You even pushed the pacifier back into your mouth!! 

Mommy started back to work at the end of the month.  I did much better than I thought.  I actually kind of enjoyed having "my time" even if it is spent working.  But you make it all worthwhile during our afternoon snuggle time!  It is such a treat to share that time with you before Daddy gets home.  Then you have your Daddy snuggle time.  It works out very well.

We love you little man and get joy from watching you grow.  Your smile lights up a room. 

Sleepy day after our long night in the ER (see Month 2 post)  Happy 2 month birthday!

the first week of this month was one for sleeping.  your 2 month shots knocked you out!

March is a fun Basketball month - you enjoyed watching games on the couch with Daddy. 

Loving bath time.  You kick and splash and have a great time.  We think you might be a swimmer!

Smiles on the playmat. 

Oh no...somebody got upset.  But you still look cute.

Sleeping on Mommy.  The text to Daddy read "think this might be a sign of things to come?  sleeping with his hand down my shirt."

You definitely found your hand this month.  Your hand and anything you can find goes in the mouth!

more basketball watching with Daddy!  Looks fun!

One of my favorite pictures so far.  Rosy cheeks, drool down the chin and bright eyes.  You are so cute little guy!

First time in the stroller without the carseat.  Don't worry the sun was only in your eyes long enough for Mommy to snap this picture to send to Daddy.

Bright eyes!!  Your head looks so little compared to your body here.  Don't worry sweetie, you are proportional and we LOVE YOU!!

Mommy went back to work at the end of this month.  We cuddled at the end of the work day and sometimes took a quick nap together.  I think you look pretty cozy!

Your first St Patrick's Day was this month!  You had 2 outfits.  Your other one is here.
