A New Stage

Before I explain the title of this post, here are some cutie randomness that has happened over the past two weeks:

Enzo and Esme getting their cuddle on!  They are much more interactive with each other which delights Deborah and I to no end!

The after bath bathrobe and happiness.  He still loves taking baths and we've increased the frequency to at least twice a week now.  

He's of course been holding his head up for awhile now, but here are some adorable pictures of him during tummy time and loving it!  He gets pretty bored quickly when on his stomach, but we try to put him there so he can increase his upper body strength in preparation for crawling.  He's really working the eyebrow raise!

This smirk just kills me!

This was taken last night.  He's been such a happy baby this week!  It is so easy to make him smile.  I feel like I'm being spoiled with such a happy little guy!

Now for the new stage news.  He's getting really into putting things in his mouth.  He always seems to have some fingers in his mouth and if not those he finds a toy to shove in there.  He's also reaching for toys now and as you can see below, he's enjoying his gymnasium more and can spend a good amount of time batting the toys and making them jingle.  

Today I caught him doing a big back stretch to reach the squirrel that was behind him (and on the opposite side).  

Well, last year today Enzo wasn't even a thought in our heads.  A year ago tomorrow though, he was in every thought!  March 23rd was the day we found out he was on the way, which seems like a lifetime ago.  What a journey the past 12 months have been!  The baby being out of the belly has been by far my favorite part.  Well, going on maternity leave was pretty great, but having him in my arms leaves that sentiment in the dust.
