2 Month Check Up

Baby H. had his two month check-up today.  Pretty sure momma's should not be allowed to take their babies to this appointment.  It's way too sad.

Pretty sure those shots hurt me a bit more than they hurt him.

Baby weighs 12 pounds 10 ounces (49%), is 23 inches (42%) and his head circumference is 15.9 inches (48%)

Courtney's 23rd

We celebrated Courtney's birthday today.  It was lots of fun to spend time with family and eat delicious food.  Happy birthday, Courtney!  We love you.

If someone tried to ruin your birthday, I'd ruin their life.

Mom made my grandpa hold Baby H.  Turns out Baby H. loves grandpa.  Look at that smile.

Baby loves his great-grandpa

Baby Snoring is Pretty Cute

If there weren't laundry to be done and showers to be taken and sub plans to be written...I think I'd let Baby H sleep and snore on my chest all day.

Baby H.--2 Months

Baby H. is two months old today.  Can you believe it? 

 Baby H. is awake more often and is smiling all the time. 

He's getting baby chub rolls on his legs and his cheeks are taking over his face.  The picture doesn't show it, but he is growing a lot of hair.

He is a pretty happy baby but makes it known when he is hungry, tired or has a messy diaper.

He is beginning to track people, sounds and toys.  I have loved interacting with him and getting some feedback. 

Loves:

Baths

Eating

"Oooo" noises

Having his back patted

Being warm

Kicking without wearing a diaper

Hates:

Getting out of the bath

Being tired, hungry or having a poopy diaper

Being left alone

Having his face wiped

Shirts being pulled over his head

No Naps!

Dear Baby H.,

This whole 30 minute nap thing is not good for either of us.

I've got things that need to get done and you've got little baby dreams that need to be dreamed.

And while we're on the subject of sleep. . .what happened to 8 hours in a row?  2.5?  Bah!  What do you think you are. . .a baby?  Geez!

Love,

Mom

I Thought Yesterday Was Good

After sleeping 6 hours in a row yesterday, I thought I was in heaven.

But then Baby H. pulled out a sleeping win.

8 hours in a row.

Way to celebrate being 8 weeks old.  Lets keep it up!

6 Hours

Who has 2 thumbs and slept 6 hours in a row last night?

This happy baby.  

Let's hope it's not a fluke and he keeps it up.

Baby H.--1 Month

My baby is one month today.  The time has flown by. 

Mostly, Baby H. just sleeps.  The positions he ends up in are pretty awesome.

No matter how tight we swaddle him, he eventually ends up like this

And sometimes like this

and sometimes this

or maybe like this

and occasionally he smiles

and sometimes he has cleavage as he sleeps

But every once in a while, he's awake.

and he makes funny faces

enjoys being outside

and has a successful first trip to Walmart

Happy 1 month Baby H! 

Baby H. Pictures

We were able to get pictures of Baby H. done by Husband's sister, Rachel.  You can check out her photography site here.  She did a wonderful job and Baby H. was an angel face.

Here are a few of my favorites.

Thanks, Rachel, for the wonderful pictures!

I laughed so hard I cried when I saw this.
