2 months old

Ok, so two months isn't much different from 8 weeks, but he does possibly have his first cold. It's more like congestion, but we have to put basically a gas mask on him for a few minutes about 3-4 times a day for the next week to see if he starts doing better. He weighed in a 9.5 lbs, but when we had him on the scale with us a couple days prior we think he was more like 10.5. The reason for the doctor visit though was he was spitting up a lot. He'd eat his food no problem, but more than likely it was going to end up running down your arm eventually when burping him.
The good news is, apparently he thinks he can walk now as evidenced in the picture.

Ok....just joking, but he sure does look like he wants to start walking around.

Eight Weeks

Well, we made it to eight weeks. Jon and I were talking the other day and we agreed it's been both the longest and shortest eight weeks of our lives. The past two weeks we've entered the "crying" stage. Every night from 5 to 9 our little Mikey takes it into his cute little head to cry unless he is being held, bounced and walked around the house. Mr. Fussy Britches is quite cute once he's settled down though. 

Jack is now reaping the bounty from having a baby in the house. He loves cardboard and we have an abundance of boxes from all the stuff we've bought. Here is Jack's new bed. 


Speaking of Jack, I think he is finally starting to "see" Mikey. Mikey loves his floor time and has started to notice the stars and suns hanging above his head. With that, he moves and coos for long periods of time. Jack is confused because up until now this little baby has just laid there and hasn't really been a threat. But now the creature can move! The creature has hands! Jack fears for his tail. 


Tomorrow I go back to work with mixed emotions. Adult conversation has it's perks but look at the kid! It will be hard to leave him with someone else for eight hours a day.

Michael Doesn't like Dogs


Appearantly Michael is not a big fan of puppy coats with little ears on him. Shortly after putting this on him he just started screaming his head off and won't quit. Maybe he's just not happy with the hat portion of the jacket, ha ha.
