2 Months!!

Isn't it crazy how time flies and our kiddos seem to grow beneath our eyes! It seems like just the other day that our son was born, now he is blossoming into an expressive little boy. His 2 month birthday was this past Wednesday, June 13th. He sure has been busy experiencing new things.

1. He does great during tummy time and lifts his head and chest up off the floor. Great job, Nate.

2. He tracks the lights and colors as the music plays on his bouncy seat. He, also, tracks mommy and daddy ;-).

3. He likes the swing, again. He didn't for a week or two.

4. He sleeps in his own room, now. Mommy misses him but watches him on the video monitor.

5. He smiles when smiled at or when we play with his cheeks.

6. He has giggled once that Sam and I both witnessed.

7. He does great in the car, but when he is hungry he doesn't like to stop at stoplights or the bank! The car needs to keep on moving!

8. He loves to stretch. I have never seen someone stretch so much.

9. He loves being held in a reverse football hold, where he can see out!

10. He has had a few play dates with friends - Luke, Pierce, Avery, Micah, Emmy, London, and Reagan.

11. He coos at us and his toys.

12. He loves watching the red stars as his mobile goes around.

13. He has begun sucking on his hands more, even when he has a full tummy. He doesn't really take a pacifier, but he is never very fussy (Praise God), so there isn't much need. He will probably end up being a thumb sucker--I just hope it won't be to hard to break the habit, since his thumb is always with him.

14. He gets to go play with Grammy every day!

15. He has had his pictures taken professionally.

16. He has had his first round of shots---more on that later!

17. He has grown like a weed and is already 13 pounds! I guess he loves to eat.

18. He still likes to be swaddled at night. He looks like a little burrito!

19. He nurses well, and takes 3 bottles from Grammy during the day. Fortunately, my work provides a mothers room to allow me to keep nursing.
