I'm 2 Months Old Today!

Well, we've hit another Milestone in Marshall's life! Two Months Old! It is amazing how time has passed so quickly! He is really such a joy to have around. He is starting to develop an independent sort of temperament - he really enjoys laying in his crib/travel carrier/bouncing chair/swing and just watch his surroundings. In the evenings he sits in his little chair and his eyes just follow me around as I bustle about in the kitchen. That's not to say that he doesn't enjoy his snuggle time with his Mommy and Daddy. He especially likes to snuggle with his Daddy, who can easily put the little man to sleep.

Marshall also enjoys being sung to. His favorite songs are Pat-a-Cake, the Alphabet, and Jingle Bells. He loves it and does a big smile when Mommy says words like Baby, Good Boy, Did you make a Poopy?, and of course his name. When he talks to us he says things like Ahhhh, Agooo, Yeahhh, ggggggghhh.

He still has a pretty firm schedule: sleeps from 12am - 5am, eats, then sleeps from 6am - 9am, plays from 9am - noon, sleeps for an hour or two, then wakes up and plays with Mommy and cooks with her until Daddy comes home and feeds & puts him down for a power nap, then plays with him until Daddy's bedtime. Then Mommy & baby bond until midnight (which usually has some crying involved since he fusses when he is tired). :-)

Today we visited Dr. Baker for the dreaded shots. His weight is moving up. He weighs 10.75 lbs, and 22 inches long. The poor little guy got stuck with the needle 4 times - 2 shots in each leg!!!! I have never heard him cry so hard, and he had real tears! Now he is home and sleeping off the stress of his hard day.

The photos in today's blog are from the Picture People. The photographer was great and Marshall just chatted up a storm with her. What a good boy!
