2 1/2 months

My baby is getting so big already!! I want him to stay little!! But it is so fun to watch him grow also! Let's see...what has he done lately...


This morning he discovered his toes. He LOVES to sit up with someone holding him, he will always try to pull himself up into a sitting position if someone is there. And this morning while I was holding him like that he just sat and watched his toes, and then he leaned down and grabbed his foot with his hand and then tried to suck on his foot! SOO cute!!

He has also discovered his head. He will take his hands and just rub his head and rub a fist in his eyes when he is tired. He is basically gaining a little more control over his hands. Which is fun to watch. If you put your face in front of him, he will try to hit your face. I love it, it is like he is trying to interact with us using his hands.

He is also giggling. Not just an attempt to giggle, but an actual giggle. He tries to do a belly laugh, but it comes out as a cough and it startles him. SO funny!

Something that I LOVE, is that he knows us. If we go out of the room and come back in, he will see us and grin and start trying to talk to us. But if someone else does it, he looks at them like "who the heck are you" but if they play for a just a second he will warm up and start smiling at them to. He also tries to get our attention if we aren't looking at him, and he sees us, he will start calling out for us to look at him. He will call out and then wait...if we still don't look, he will do it again until we do. I LOVE waking up in the morning and looking at him and the first thing he does is smile at me. Who wouldn't want to wake up to that in the morning?

Anyway...here are a couple of pictures, one from when he was just a few weeks old to one taken just this week at 2.5 months. See how much he has grown?! He isn't so little anymore! But yet, at the same time he is still little!! Anyway, enjoy!



You can see the black and white version of this earlier on in the post. This is our all time FAVORITE picture of him so far!! And it was taken at 11:00pm the other night when he wouldn't sleep!! Sam just keeps ooing and awwing over it, so I had to share! Enjoy!

He is so adorable, the changes are really obvious in his face! And look at those eyes too! I can't wait to see him again.

Your son is so cute! It's so neat to read that he can recognize you now. Our little one-week old can't focus on anything, so we are looking forward to when she will recognize us and smile. Not that I want her to get big though!
