Two Months!

Milo had his 2 month doctor's appointment today. He weighs 12 lbs. 6 ozs. and is 23.5 inches. That is growth of 3 lbs and 1.2 inches in the past month which puts him in the 75th percentile for babies his age. I love every ounce and inch of him! He also received 4 immunization shots- two in each thigh. He was a trooper crying only with the stick of the needles and then all smiles afterward. I think I cried more tears than him! So far, he doesn't seem to have any negative reactions to the shots- just sleepiness which is just fine with Mommy.

Too cute!

Blue Eye Beauty

Aunt Kelly found this perfect sweater for Milo.

Look at those eyes; I think he got something from Mommy.

Two Months

Milo is two months old this week. Can you believe it?

Our Big Guy

This weekend, I was watching the DVD home videos we have shot in the past 8 weeks. Thank goodness we bought that camera becasue that footage was priceless to this Mommy. The first weeks are such a blur- so much to learn about your baby, so much worry and so little sleep. I love that I have the good (time with family, first smiles, tiny adorableness), the bad (hysterical crying during the first bath) and the ugly (recovering mommy the first week or so) to remind me what life was like. In the video, I saw Milo wore this sleeper home from the hospital, and the newborn size was so big on him. Now look at it. I probably won' t be able to squeeze him in it a week or two from now.

Home Sweet Home

Ah, home from Vegas! After a grueling 8+ hour drive with a tire blow out, rain pouring down and exhaustion and pain of another mastitis infection, it is so nice to be home.

Here's Milo looking wide-eyed at the mobile on his swing. He's wearing one of his many "old man pants" outfits.

Lastly, is a picture of our boy happily smiling. Tonight, I held him on the scale after weighing myself, and with clothes on and a recently injested 6 oz. bottle (I don't know about you, but I only consider my weight if it's first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and naked) he weighed 11 lb. 5 oz. on his 7 week birthday.

Happy Baby

Milo loves laying around kicking, squirming and smiling- here's a smile for all of you!

Easter

Here's Milo on his first Easter morning. Doesn't he look happy?

Milo is 6 weeks old tomorrow! He didn't get an Easter basket this year (I figured Lyman and I didn't need to eat all his candy!), but he did wear a new Easter outfit to church and sat quietly while Mom and Dad ate a delicious lunch made by Daddy, and then we all had a nap.

At Home

Milo is loving his play mat more and more (thanks Kathy!) and can sometimes swat at the hanging toys. When we came home from the hospital, the thought of him growing bigger made me so emotional (that wasn't all!) and I would start a steady stream of tears thinking how fast the infant stage passes. I don't know if my hormones have leveled out or if it's the the idea of more continuous sleep to come, but I love watching my guy grow and change. I do miss the squishy little raisin baby, but I adore this smiling, alert and inquisitive baby boy.

Pee Pee Tee Pee

Thanks to our friend Cory, we offically have everything. Here is Milo on his changing table using the Pee Pee Tee Pee!

Milestones

Our little Milo is growing so quickly! Here's what he's been up to...

Milo has outgrown the newborn size diapers and now wears size 1-2. They are a little big, but at least they don't leak at night like the others did at we finshed the last package.

He now can track objects with his eyes. He likes to lay in his cradle and watch the animals go round and round on the mobile Jen, Jeremy and Erin gave him.
This adorable onesie says "Automatic Sprinkler." Lyman usually blocks the spray with a cloth diaper when he changes him (no, we don't have a pee pee tee pee). I don't usually bother, but Lyman says I'm playing with fire. I get hosed sometimes, but usually my little guy knows not to spray Mommy.

Look at the double chin! Lyman chrips, "Waddle, waddle" to him.

Our little guy can also focus well on a face. He loves to stare at us; of course we welcome his attention!
