JD at Two Months Old!

JD is 2 months old!  He is 13.5 lbs and 23.8 inches long and in the 75th percentile in height and weight.  

~ He is smiling regularly now, especially when he has just eaten and has a full belly!

~ He likes when you play with his legs - pushing back on you, and he'll hold your fingers if you put them in his hand.

~ He has begun lightly cooing back at you when you talk to him and give him time to respond.

~ He likes turning his head to the left and snuggles in my right arm.

~ He will lock eyes with you and study your face for a second before giving a big grin!

~ His "witching hour" is most evenings between 6-8pm when he is a little fussy and wants to be held, sometimes nursing, but many times arching his back and screaming for a little while.  He is quieted down by a paci if he is bounced while giving it to him and he will grunt and mutter while he starts sucking on it.

~ He sleeps several hours off and on during the day with longer stretches being around 10am and 1pm but he's always ready to go out and has no trouble adjusting to being out and about!

~ He's been sleeping from 10pm-12pm, nursing, and then going back to sleep until 7am.  Many times he'll go back to sleep after eating at 7am for a little longer!  He's a great sleeper and still sleeps in a bassinet in a pack-n-play next to our bed and is swaddled when he sleeps at night.

We love this little man and are so thankful he is growing well and is such a joy to have around!

I caught him mid-sneeze!

10 Year Wedding Anniversary!

A picture of us on our wedding day June 12, 2004!

A photo op before we left for an overnight to Nashville.  Jim had everything planned and I just had to enjoy the ride! :)

We started off the morning with a couples massage!

Lunch at The Looking Glass in Clarksville, TN

The waitress was really sweet and even brought out extra plates for our anniversary cake! :)

Getting ready for dinner in Nashville!

Dinner at the Melting Pot!

Fun fondue!

Walking around downtown and listening to a live music concert on the river front!

Chocolate covered strawberries from the hotel and a wedding cake cupcake from our favorite cupcake store in Clarksville!  This man spoils me! :)

Yummy! And the goblet is from our wedding and has a big J and little A for Jim and me and our marriage date written on it!

And breakfast the next morning at the hotel!  Happy 10 years to us!

Nina's Visit!

Nina came to watch the kids over our anniversary weekend - we are so thankful she came to watch the kiddos and they were pretty happy about it too! :)

Snuggles around the house!

Sleepover!

Our neighbors, the Kodankos, had family visiting from out of town - their daughter Hannah and Margo became fast friends and enjoyed playing all week together.  We had a fun, girlie sleepover this weekend while Jim was away that included dress up, dolls, tea parties, and painting nails!

Playing tug of war with Carolina!

Two against one and Carolina still won! :)

Sleepover castle tent and popcorn watching an American Girl movie!

My little sleepover buddy giving a little smirk

And a full smile!

A better photo shoot with my little buddy! :)

Little Buddies

JD had some photos taken with his buddy Justus who is one week younger than him.  While we were getting ready to take pics of them JD was happily cooing and relaxed and Justus was crying and upset - but as soon as we got them on the floor the roles reversed! :)

Happy boy Justus, my friend Julie's newest little boy!

These pictures make me laugh!
