Ames Two Months


I know I say this every month, but I can't believe that it has already been two months since this cute little boy joined our family.  
  • He's such a chunky little thing.  He's got the chubbiest little cheeks and double chin.  He can hardly even hold his head up from all the face chub!
  • I hate even writing this because I don't want to jinx myself, but he is a pretty great sleeper at night.  He will usually go down at about 8 and then sleep until 2-4 and then up every 2-3 hours after that.  
  • Aside from being a great night sleeper, he's a pretty terrible napper.  He can be in the deepest of sleeps, but the second I set him down, his eyes are open wider than they can possibly go.  We are sure trying hard to get him to be a better napper.  Some days I feel that my entire day is just spent trying to get him to take a good nap!
  • He's been cooing lately and it's pretty much the cutest thing I've ever seen.  Owen loves when he does it and says, "He said gooooo!"
  • He's a pretty happy and content baby most of the time. He loves to smile and sometimes when we make eye contact and he gives me this little eyebrow raise, I can pretty much feel my heart growing 100x.
  • We are all pretty obsessed with him - especially Owen.  A few weeks ago at the park, he went around to all of his "friends" and said, "hey! I've got a brother!" He's pretty proud. He loves talking to him in a baby voice and constantly tells him "he's so cute!" or "you've got chubby cheeks!" These are most likely things that he has heard me say one thousand times a day, but they are pretty cute to hear him repeat them.
  • He has a love/hate relationship with the binki.  He either loves it or gives me this look of "how could you?" when I try to give it to him.
  • At his last doctor's appointment, the doctor said he has an umbilical cord hernia (seen in some of the pics).  I am hoping it goes away on its own so he doesn't have to have surgery!








Bright eyed - typically how he looks as he is set down for a nap



Love his little tongue



I am glad Owen insists on joining in so that we can have pictures like this.
