2 months...

3 days old...
One month old...
Two months old...

Wow - time has flown by. Mr Alex turned 2 months old on Saturday. He is a good baby who loves to flirt and snuggle. He has earned the nickname "cheeks" as he has not wasted any time gaining weight and getting big.

He currently weighs 13 lbs 11 ozs and is 23 inches long. That's 90% in weight and 50% in height. :) He has well outdone his big brother who was only 11 lbs 8 ozs at his 2 month checkup.

We had a few issues with colicky nights, but that time is passing and he is doing much better. Still hasn't slept all the way through the night, but we've gotten a few 5 hour nights and that has been nice.

I will return to work in 3 weeks - BOO HISS! I can't imagine leaving the boys now that I've been blessed enough to stay home with them for a couple of months. I love being a SAHM...but we can't afford it so I shall return to the ranks to earn my keep.

This year I shared my birthday with Father's day. We had a great time. Went to the movies to see Up (I cried through most of the movie!) and had family over for dinner. Low key - but fun and great.

Here are a few pics of our second month...
Cousin Mandy came for a visit and was a HUGE help to mommy! She loves taking care of Alex and entertaining Eli. :)

Mr. Smiles

Both with a smile...priceless.
"How you doin?" He's a ladies man already!
