2 months

George, 

 Can you believe you're two months already? 

You are growing so fast and delight us every day with your new abilities!  Abigail is far from tiring of you and adores holding you (she tells us this by crossing her arms and bouncing them up and down), pretending to feed you, and insisting on giving you your "bubba" (pacificer) whether you like it or not  :)

 We've had a big month of firsts:  your first holiday, your first cold, your first real smile, your first overnight at Gma and Gpa's (we fled there during the power outage), and your first overnight without us (Mamie and Papa watched you guys while Dad and I spent a night downtown).

You are such a relaxed, happy little guy!


Here are some things we've learned about you this month:

  • You cry when we drive under 30 mph.  31 and above: golden silence. Seriously!  It happens every time, right on the mark.
  • You love to smile, especially when I greet you with a big, happy "Hhhhhhi Buuuuuddy!"
  • You track objects really well, are fascinated by lights (especially the glowing blue buttons on the security system), find the mobile above the changing table hilarious, and enjoy watching cartoons with Abigail.  Curious George is the current fav  :)
  • You loathe the hours of 5-8p.  
  • You have a love / hate relationship with your bubba.  It's our go-to at night, but you usually spit it out during the day (much to your sister's dismay)
  • Speaking of sleep, here's a typical night: 8-9pm feeding, followed by a 2-3am feed, then waking around 7:30 for the day.  The past two nights you slept from 9pm-4am (hallelujah!)
  • You and the swing are finally friends!  Most mornings I can get 20-30 minutes out of it.

 We have a big month ahead: gearing up to celebrate Thanksgiving in Leavenworth, then a Grand Slam begins the day you turn 3 months... Uncle John, Auntie Carolyn, and Uncle Mike fly into town!

Just for you, of course  ;)

 Today you and I are spending the day shopping and running errands.  Oh what fun!

I love you so~

Mom

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

Two!

Yesterday you turned two; I can hardly believe it! Two year pictures, wearing a dress I wore when I was little You are such a funny, sweet little girl, and I love seeing your personality unfold more each day.  This last month you've really started coming out of your shell and love making people laugh; whether tickling "gee gee gee gee" , or joking around (the other day you took a doll house high chair and pretended to sit in it...all the while looking back at me smiling and laughing like "look, I'm going to try and sit in this teeny highchair!" ), you sure know how to make us laugh. Music is your first love.  Beach Boys Greatest Hits is the current album favorite , so we listen to it in the car every day.  Mainly to Barbara Ann (you always request "ba ba ba" ).  You also love listening to Swiss music with Grandma and having Dad play "Abigail Loves Cheese" on his guitar when he gets home at night. Schwingfest is this Saturday a...

five months

Happy #5, Benny Boy! You have grown up so much this past month, and in the sweetest ways possible.  You adore a good tickle or friendly face and can't seem to soak in the world around you enough; every time I look at you, your eyes are quickly scanning the room, working hard to put all the pieces together. A smart little guy, you are  :) This month I moved you to the nursery.  It was becoming increasingly difficult to put Abigail and George to bed at night, but putting them together in a room has made bedtime simple - they love being together.  As such, you now have your own room!  It's so sweet being back in a nursery with a little one.  Since George was in our bedroom until he was 5 months, then living at Gma and Gpa's for another 6 months, he wasn't in his own room until his first birthday.  So, in many ways, having you in a nursery reminds me so much of my first time around the Motherhood block, and many nights it fills me with such joy just...
