dos mes.

Little Leo is 10 1/2 weeks (i missed the 2 month mark... oops). the pictures above are courtesy of Victoria Harris from Fotofly Studio. thanks again Victoria. he was about 6 weeks in those shots. he is much chunkier now.

he had his 2 month check up two weeks ago. doctor says he is doing great. at the appointment he weighed 10 lbs. 15 oz. and was 23 inches long. i think he is heavier now. the not so fun part of the appointment was the shots leo had to get. i have never heard him scream so loud. poor little guy. but we did get to snuggle the rest of the day because of it. that part was wonderful.

he is smiling a lot now and every once in a while a giggle will pop out. the other day braden and i had glass coke bottles and when we clanked them together for a toast, leo started laughing. we kept doing it and he thought it was too funny. it was such a precious moment. who would have thought two bottles clinking together could be so funny.

our new goal is to get him on a schedule. we are trying to stay consistent and it seems to be helping him sleep through the night! of course not when i am home though. of course when mommy is working graveyards on the weekends he is sleeping through the night for dad but he wont do it for mom during the week. what is up with that? that's okay. we will get there.

he is still sleeping in the bassinett in our bedroom. the first night i started our nightly routine, i also tried putting him in his crib. yah... that back fired. he was never able to sleep for a decent amount of time so we were basically up all night long. when i say we i mean me and leo. so i learned to take it one transition at a time. once we get this schedule thing down, we will move onto the crib.

he is awake for most of the day now and he is so much fun! it's really challenging to get anything done around the house now because all we do is play with leo. he is such a happy baby and he loves to talk now.

the other day he found his hand in order to soothe himself. it was the cutest thing ever. he would begin to cry and then remember, "oh yah i can suck on that thing thats attached to me." he couldn't really figure out how to suck on his thumb or fingers and he hasn't done it again since but it was adorable.

he is super wiggly. he loves kick and wave his arms all around. yesterday i came home from work in the morning to find leo sleeping on his tummy! we always put him to sleep on his back. he must have turned over in his sleep! i was so shocked. now we have to get him to do it while he's awake. leo is officially on his way to being mobile... i should start to baby proof the house but i probably wont because i am denial.

that's all the updates for now. leo is perfect. and we are perfectly happy with him in our life.

much love.
