2 Months Old

Well, Little Man has turned two months and things are getting a little smoother.  He's sleeping more at night and needing less diaper changes.  He's usually in a good mood and those smiles and infrequent giggles just melt my heart.  Today we had his 2 month well baby check up and he got 3 vaccine shots and one oral vaccine.  He took the oral one no problem (he seemed to like the taste of it!) and took the shots like a champ!  I breast fed him while they gave the shots and he would give an initial cry, then stop and continue eating.  They did the shots in quick succession so it was over pretty quickly, thank goodness.  I think I was more upset about it then him!  He now weighs 12 lb 11 oz and is 23 inches in length.  

He has so many expressions!  This first picture I wish wasn't blurry, but he does this raised eyebrow thing that is so cute.  It is my goal to get a better picture of this!

Happy farmer's market baby!  From last week.  He loves riding in the stroller.

His new favorite sleep position when he is in his chair!  It looks so uncomfortable and I'm always surprised that he doesn't wake up with a sore neck.  Luckily for me, Enzo likes to sit in his chair in the kitchen while I do dishes or cook and just watch me.  He is quite the kitchen helper in that he doesn't need to be held every single minute of every day!

 Kissin' Mr. Bear.

Kissing Esme, though she is looking at mommy saying "help!".

Turnip is sitting pretty for the picture, why can't you Enzo?  Thanks for the stink face!

Enzo and Esme last night in their matching outfits!  Mine was a gift and Deborah had one that was a hand me down from a friend.  It was a coincidence that we both had it and good thing, because they are super cute in them!  I like how they are linking arms.

It's been busy....

I think about blogging everyday about of all the wonderful and adorable things Enzo does in his spare time to keep you updated.  However, I have no spare time and need to focus on basic hygiene principles, feeding the family and taking care of a tiny little man!  Days just go by so quickly, even though it seems I get nothing done.  We have also been doing more outings lately and one trip into town is usually about 4 hours.  He is so good when I take him out - just sleeps in his stroller or takes in the sights.  Strangers comment on how cute he is which delights me to no end!  Anyway, the reason you come here....pictures of Enzo!

This is his changing table, all decorated with recent gifts of artwork.  The Turnip portrait is by Matthew Porter and is from my mom.  The painting all the way on the right was made by Jake's grandma and the color scheme is perfect for the room (and a beautiful painting nonetheless).  The real hit of this area is that mouse image by his head.  He loves that mouse and just stares, smiles and talks to it for as long as I let him lay there!  We've even made up a special song about the mouse that we sing during diaper changes.

Tired daddy, awake baby.  The pink jammies were mine as a baby!  They look so cute on him!

Notice his pinky fingers!  He naps with pinky fingers extended like that and we like to think he is dreaming about drinking tea with the Queen!

I was snapping some photos of him while napping after nursing, and he caught me!

This outfit is for when he is feeling like a badass baby!

And the recent favorite, the big smile!  I took this right after he figured out he could put things in his mouth.  It made him very very happy.

Since it's my birthday, we decided to do at least a little something so Deborah offered to babysit and we have dinner reservations.  First time leaving the kiddo with someone else!  I'm sure it will be fine, especially if he has Deborah and Esme to hang out with.
