2 months

family photo outakes

a lot happens in a month.. in baby time...

one month old: I went from 7 lbs to 10 lbs!

I also grew from 21" to 21 1/4"!

my face has cleared up.

i am sporadically being caught "smiling."

i filled out and no longer have "loose" skin.

i can lift my head easily, but going down is rough... (i have smashed my face on occasion)

i can focus a little better when i look around. the dr says i can see a ft away in black & white..anything else is blurry.

i have endured a cold (post-nasal drip).

fyi to other moms: the dr says too young to prescribe medication, coughing triggers gagging reflex, choking sounds are normal (geez). sit upright or give tummy time to let the phlem get out. nasal sprays can also help. do this before they eat. if fever hits, ..then be worried.

my presents were like presents to mom and dad.

my very first chrismas! (2008)

about 3 weeks old...

Me and my sister

Although my sister right now is only two, she looks like a giant compared to me. I hope I grow up to be big and strong like her. Mom says maybe not as hyper though...






She is a bit overwhelming at times, but she REALLY loves me! She sings me the Barney Song ALL the time. It comes with hugs, kisses, and holding hands!

At one and a half weeks, he still has the little white spots on his nose, going through a mini-pimple phase, as well as shedding skin! However, here is our cutie...
