2 Month Update

Can you even believe that my baby is two months?!? I can't. Even more than that, I can't believe how much he's grown! It really does go by fast!

Stats:
Length - 23.5 inches - 70th percentile
Weight - 11 pounds 14 ounces - 53rd percentile
Head - 39.8 centimeters - 46th percentile

Accomplishments:
Has found his voice and started "talking"
Occasionally coos and giggles
Gives responsive smiles
Holds his head up for short periods of time

Likes:
Swinging in his chair while looking at the lights and listening to the music
Staring at the ceiling fan
Wiggling all over the place
Baths - he loves to swing one leg over the sling in his tub so his foot can dangle in the water
Sucking on his fist and sometimes managing to get his thumb

Dislikes:
Sitting in traffic, or anytime the car isn't in motion
His pacifier -he will occasionally take it in the car but that's all
Dairy, chocolate, onions, spicy foods (all things mom loves to eat!)
Shots - I know this goes without saying, but we got his 2 month immunizations today and they were brutal - poor little thing!




Love you little boy!!

Baby Blessing

This past Sunday (1/8/12) we were able to have Dylan's baby blessing. The week before the blessing I bought him a little white cotton outfit to wear for the blessing. I however failed to try it on him until the night before at 9:00 p.m. and it sadly was huge! Luckily for me, my mom, Jana and Vinnie came to the rescue and ran out to the store to find an alternate option! The blessing was wonderful, Pat did such a great job and Dylan slept through the entire meeting - I call that a success! We were so happy to have my folks and all of my siblings and their families join us for our special day. Every day I am reminded of how blessed I am to be this little boys mommy and how thankful I am for eternal families!

My handsome little boy

Cousin Lilli, Uncle Cason & Aunt Kimi -
the little ones were not thrilled with this whole picture situation!


Grandma with the grandbabies! So dang cute!!

I think Dylan looks like his Grandpa!

We thought it would be nice to take a family photo - however, there was not enough room in my house and it was super cold outside, so we only snapped this one - um, it turned out pretty awesome! haha At least it's good for a laugh!
