You are now 2 months old and last thursday you had your first set of shots. We were very nervous about how you would handle it, and momma got you some baby tylenol in case you got sick. You handled the shots pretty well. You screamed at first, then cried for a few seconds, them momma and papa held you and gave you some bottled milk and you were fine.
You are now over 13 lbs and 25 inches long. The nurse said you were in the 50% percentile for weight and 95% for height, which means you could be a very tall boy. We think you will be. We also still think you are going to have blue eyes. They have been slowly getting clearer and more dynamic. You have a deep blue color with flecks of other colors and sometimes your eyes even look green. Overall, they are a steel grey/blue and they are beautiful.
You are such a pretty baby. Momma and papa love to just look at you. You are much more aware of your surroundings, and you love to go outside and hang out with momma and papa on the back porch. Papa's been landscaping. We got a coupld of blueberry bushes and papa is going to plant them in the sunniest spot we can find.
Your grams got you the most wonderful present ever. She bought you a beautiful crib, complete with mattress & bedding that converts into a big boy bed for when you grow out of the crib. It's the nicest piece of furniture in the house so far. Momma found a nice stroller and infant carseat set that you REALLY enjoyed. We were able to take you out with us all day with minimal fussing. It was great.
You don't seem to like baths much, which isn't good because you are kind of a smelly baby. Mostly, you smell like cheese. Sometimes you smell faintly of pee. You like to take baths with momma but you hate to take them in the baby tubs. Hopefully you will learn to enjoy baths because they can be fun. We even got you your first rubber ducky to play with in the tub.

Super Bowl
It's super bowl sunday and today we are getting rady to make hot wngs and hopefully watch he Patriots kick some NY Giants butt. Right now you are finally down for a hopefully long afternoon nap. I laid next to you while you breastfed for a looong time, and in between gulping, you would smile and even laugh. But as soon as I tried to sneak away, you would pop one eye open and look right at me as if you were daring me to leave. Finally, I got to sneak away.
A new trick we've been using to help you poo (you've been constipated a lot lately) is a mix of diluted organic apple juice wth 2 mL of gripe water in a bottle. You love that stuff.
Diaper changes have been a lot easier now, I think you enjoy being naked and airing out. Yesterday you had a massive butt exposion of green poo and holy hell did it stink. Papa had to take the trash out right away. Yu were a pretty content and happy bby after that.
Papa and I have been calling you pootertoot and tooterpoot as of late because you fart alot. Sometimes farting makes you mad because you're constipated too so mama has to help you out by pushing your knees gently into your chest and rock your legs a bit. It als elp to just cpread the butt cheeks during a diaper change but papa thinks that's going a bit too far so he wont do it, but I will!
You're quickly growing out of your baby clothes and are going to be in a size 2 diaper as soon as we run out of size 1's. I'm gonna have to go through all the clothes everyone has given us and pick out the ones you will fit into now. I need to buy you some more mitten because we only had a couple pairs and when you wear them for a long time they begin to smell like cheese.
You don't ike sucking on your paci anymore, I don't think you were ever really big on i in the first place. Whenever I put it in your mouth, your whole face scrunches up and you spit it out, like it tastes nasty or something.
You like sitting on your papa's chest while he plays with you and jiggles you up and down and sings silly songs to you. One thing he does is come up with sayings like "who has two thumbs and likes boobies with milk?" and then he makes you point to yourself and says "this guy". I don't know why but it cracks me up cause you just look so damn cute when he does that.
It's getting increasingly more difficult to restrain myself from squeezing the stuffing out of you and kissing you to death. When you are happy and content, you are the cutest baby in the world. When you are mad and screaming, you're still cute, but it's hard to see you like that. Your baby acne is clearing up better but you have a little bit of dandruff on your litle noggin. You like baths for the first 10 minutes and then you're done.
Well, mama is gonna go and get some stuff done while you are still conked out.
