Mother's Day

It has been quite a while since my last post, and a lot has happened!  Let's see where do I start?  My two month appointment came and went, I slept 8 1/2 hours in a row during the night, I am starting to repeat sounds and smile like crazy, and Mother's Day was so much fun!

So as promised I got a few shots at my 2 month appointment.  Ouch!  Three needles and three band aids, but as soon as they were out I gave up crying, what's the point?  But to the important stuff:  I am 14 pounds and 12 ounces and 2 feet long!  This qualifies me as a "big boy" or at least that is what people are calling me.   

So my only trick of smiling is no longer alone.  When in the mood (very key!) I can repeat coos and sounds with my mom.  It will start as me smiling at her and she will start to make sounds at me and I just can't help myself!  I just have to make sounds back at her and sometimes it sounds like what she said and sometimes it doesn't.  But who cares, right? All that really matters is that I love looking at my mom and having her talk to me!  Nothing better than that.

One time is a trick, two times is a trend, and three is a habit.  That is the motto that my parents use when I sleep.  On Thursday night I slept for 7 1/2 hours straight (the trick) and then on Friday night I slept for 8 1/2 hours (the trend), but I ruined it on Saturday night!  You should have seen those two suckers waiting and hoping.  Ha!  I made a few hours here and then a few hours there, but it didn't count so now we are back to the beginning.  My parents are funny for trying to predict that!

For 12 straight days I was grandmother-less because Butter went to Chicago to give Nick some attention.  No one was here to say yes to everything Matthew and I wanted or to give us things that were taken away.  Seriously, I have two grandmothers and neither was here to pamper us.  Yeah my mom is good and all, but rules are made to be broken and when they are broken we are going to need a grandmother to help us out!  Good thing Butter is back, and we are heading to Georgia next month!

So today was Mother's Day.  And let me tell you that I have the best mother in the world!  Whether I am crying, laughing, staring, sleeping, and even pooping she loves me.  And for that I am one lucky kid.  We had a great day today to show her that we all love her.  We slept in, had some breakfast, enjoyed the weather, played some games and then capped it off with a fantastic dinner and ice cream!  What a great day for a great great mom!




With Love,
