2 months old!!

It was a big month. he learned to get his fingers, stand on his little legs with someone helping him, coo and goo much more, straighten out his legs, kick a lot, reach for objects. he grabs his shirt, daddy’s hair on his hands and beard. however, he cannot reach for a toy and grab it. he can hold onto a toy once he has it in his hands. he can stay up on his tummy with a boppy for at least 10-15 minutes now. he sorta hates it but he does it. he hates tummy time on his tummy on the ground without the boppy. he use to roll over to his back but now he just cries a lot and screams. he can get his hand in his mouth. he isn’t so good at keeping it there and it can often be a very sad thing to watch. he gets very upset when he can’t keep those fingers or hand in his mouth! poor guy.

this is the end of my maternity leave. i am so sad about it. i am very grateful though for the people who are going to take care of him over the next two months, one of which is his daddy! yay! starting at 3 months mommy will be a full time worker. gotta set a good example for the little guy. want to be able to pay for his college and buy him cute clothes. and live in a nice house with a giant garden where he can pick his own food.

3 months old was great too!!

I am now standing in an excersaucer all propped up with blankets. It’s quite fun but I get really frustrated because I can grab things but i can’t get them directly in my mouth. It’s a major bummer. I have been loving spending time with all of my auntie’s who have volunteered to take the time to watch me while my mom and dad bring home the bacon. Grandma Jennifer came for a visit and that was super fun! My tummy time is increasing but I still hate being on my belly. I kick a lot and grab objects close by. I can say mamamamama…..but I don’t say it all of the time. I say a lot of vowels and make this silly static-y sound. I think it’s fun. I love my little frog noise maker. And I am starting to sleep up to 7 hours a night. We went to our local parade in St. Johns and I have been on walks and hung out with the family a lot. I also had some amazing pictures taken of me. This month was also mother’s day and we got to go and spend the early afternoon with our friends for brunch. Mommy got to have a lovely blood orange mimosa. My friend Hyde and I just chilled out. We were talking comic books. Daddy bought me a new bunny hat and my first cap. I also got to hang out with auntie Amanda at the Mississippi carts. There is so much more but this is a little glimpse into my 3rd month of being in the world.

Something else Thurston got to do this week was meet his Aunt Shelley.

For fun, I leave you with the Aggrolites-Dirty Reggae…

3 weeks has been great! It has been so fun getting to know Thurston and watching him grow. Something else he started doing is making an ‘ahhh’ sound. They are so adorable.

When we get some good sun…there is nothing better than taking photos of this cute little bean. He is so cute!

look at those leg warmers. i think every kiddo should own a pair of these. first pair. can’t wait ’til he actually fits into them.

And look at those tiny toes…nothing cuter.

Because soon enough, we will have to train him to poop in the potty….

So not okay with warm water and soap! He does enjoy being naked but not so much on the full exposure to water.

So much happier to be finished and wrapped up in his towel. He even found his thumb for a little self soothing action.

And this is him in his snugglenest. He loves his snugglenest. This thing was a life saver. He loves to sleep where he feels secure and this thing does the trick. Not only does it do just that but it also has womb sounds that play and it helps him sleep really well (sometimes).

Hello world! This is his first stroller ride. YEA!

First outdoor lunch with Thurston (and the grandparent’s too). He did a great job! We ate outside in the sun at laughing planet on Mississippi. yummy!

Thurston with daddy at 1 week old. They are enjoying our new rocking chair. Thurston still isn’t quite sure he cares for it. It mostly just puts us to sleep as we rock him. I am sure it’ll come in handy at some point.

Here he is getting a change! oh how he does not like to be changed unless he is full of food and in a milk coma. Other than that he will scream his head off. This picture is actually more like 2 weeks. Oh well.. I can tell by the onsie.
