Cool Dude

Brandon flew through his 2 month doctor's appointment. I am happy to say that the easy part was being weighed and measured. His is 24 3/4 inches long and 13 pounds 12 ounces! We have a big boy that seems to have caught up weight-wise in relation to his height. He changes every few days, and it truly does seem like he grows over night sometimes. He slept through the night on Monday and Tuesday, and then the doctor's appointment and vaccinations threw him off on Wednesday. Yesterday we went for a huge walk together, and today we are trying to take things a little easier. I am trying to encourage a real nap instead of a 20 minute cat nap. Yes, that longer nap is more for me than him!

2 months young

Growing by leaps and bounds!!!!

First trip to the beach....

Getting ready for training camp...

Guess what sport we are pulling for around here?

Motor skill development

Tummy time is starting to get a little more interesting as I can "help" Brandon hold on to teething rings and other smaller toys. His gurgles, coos, and smiles are just awesome. So far Brandon hasn't lost much of that baby hair - a bit from the front but new hair is already growing in. His eyes are big and blue, and he is finding his voice, one sound at a time. Last few days I have been up more during the day, and it seems like we can nail down a night time routine but day time is a whole other story.

I think someone warned me how fast time goes

Today will be "catch up day". Check back the last few posts since I will attempt to spend some time today making some updates to this left at the wayside synopsis of my son's life.

On the advice of some good friends, I have made a great discovery. Here is an unsolicited plug for a cool Canadian product that new moms (or moms to be) would find to be a life saver, or a really empowering hands free device: the star sling. Check them out, reasonable price, ships quick, and puts babies to sleep!

A summer's day...

This is our first outing to Rocky Point!

Pardon me as I wax poetic for a moment... the sun was shining, the smell of the sea was in the air, and the wind was rustling through the trees and I got to hold my honey's hand while we walked we our wee babe in the woods. Does it get much better than this?
