Visit From Grandma

Grandma Nancy came to visit so Mom could go back to work. The first day was very hard, I cried a lot in the way in. You had so much fun with Grandma, that it got easier over the week. I got super happy pictures of you every day. She was impressed with how happy and smart you are!  You are learning so fast! This week you started to reach out and grab the toys on your chair and really like the jumperoo more. The last couple of weeks you suddenly decided you didn't like bottles any more, so we were nervous you would have a rough time when mom went back to work. No struggles! You took your bottles like a champ!

First Easter

You had your first Easter celebration!  It started out like any Sunday, you woke up for a bit, then went down for a nap.  But when you woke up, Grandma and Grandpa were here.  We had brunch then went to church.  We were running a little late, so we had to sit right next to the organ.  You weren't a huge fan of that, so you went outside to cuddle with Dad and take a little snooze.  You showed off your daycare room to Grandma and Grandpa, then we went down to Auntie Terry and Uncle Larry's house. You had quite the cute bunny costume, got an Easter basket with some books, bubbles, and a new toy in it, and got some cuddles from your cousins.  It was a fun day filled with family.

3 months

At 3 months old, you are only waking up once or twice in the night.  You are starting to reach for and grab toys, but you aren't quite sure what to do with them.  You love when you have animals on the feet of your clothes, it makes them extra fun to look at.

You are just starting to recognize us when we are away from you.  It makes it super sad to leave, but really fun to come home.

You love taking baths even more than before.  You kick and splash your arms, sending water flying around the big tub.  You are getting so much better at tummy time (but we still aren't super great with our camera).

Smiley Guy

At about 11 weeks, you turned into a super smiley guy. When I bring you to the Mom's group at the hospital, you notice the other babies and moms and smile away at them. You have also started to talk up a storm. When you notice something new, you tell us all about it. Your new favorite thing is to get your diaper changed (my how the times have changed) so you can be close to our faces and play and chat. Grandma DeeDee fights to be the one to change your diaper because it is so fun now!  You also started to hang out in your jumperoo this week. Your feet don't reach the floor to let you bounce, so we had to put an old computer under you to give you a boost.

2 months old!

You are already 2 months old!  You loves baths even more now, you are starting to sleep longer at night, and you are one smiley guy!

You helped Mom celebrate her birthday this week!

You are officially in mostly 6 month clothes, and thank goodness you have a little room to grow into them.

2 Month Shots

You had your 2 month shots on Monday night.  You were a little grumpy in the waiting room because I had to wake you up from a nap to get you in your car seat.  It was the first time ever that you fell asleep in your swing!  I was so bummed to take you out.

After we took your clothes off to weigh you (13 pounds!) you were a happy guy.  You were smiling and cooing, even when the nurse pinned your legs down.  As soon as she used the alcohol wipe to clean your skin, you were not pleased.

After a few quick pokes, and some tears, you were ready to eat and all better.  Before we left the doctor, you were smiling and cooing again.  What a trooper!

Smiley Guy

In the last week, your smiles have really taken off!  It is so fun to have you wake up in the morning a happy guy (even though you are SUPER gassy) and smiling up a storm.  If we are lucky, we can even get you to make something that sounds a little like a laugh!
