two months!

height: 24 inches

weight: 12 lbs

you smile and smile-- but not quite in response to our smiles yet. you have strong arms and legs that are always waving about and kicking when they're not in a swaddle. you coo and babble during playtime. you really like sleeping on your belly-- unfortunately, that can only happen during cuddle time with momma. you are having trouble with learning to nap during the day (see: you don't), but you sleep from 8pm to 5am at night! you haven't lost your long hair yet-- it's still as crazy as ever! you have the biggest blue eyes and are having more and more awake time. i love to see you looking around at the world (you still really like windows, and mr.skunk, and faces). you are just now starting to fit in your 0-3mo. clothes, though some are still too big. you are eating very well and are gaining weight super fast! you're not that chunky though-- no baby rolls here! you look more and more like your daddy every day.

we have had several long days for followup appointments at Children's this month, but you take them like a champ (but understandably melt down once we get home!). we have followup doctor's appointments on august 7, a circumcision eval for august 17th in columbus, and a followup MRI on september 8. those weeks will sure be busy! the doctors say you are healing on schedule and we are hoping to have less and less visits the older you get!

we've developed a funny little game with you. after you have fed, you look wide-eyed at everything and your mouth is always a little open. your daddy or i will blow in it just a little and you LOVE IT. you will smile the biggest smile.

you went on your veryfirst vacation this past week! a trip to the beach with granna&papa and uncle jon and rachel. we had so much fun showing you the sand and saltwater for the first time (though we know you won't remember). hopefully this will be the first of many trips together to the beach!
