Smiling with my kitty Cruiser

I am getting soo big! Mommy measured me the other day and I am almost 24 inches!! She weighed me too and I am about 13 lbs if not more! I am going to the Dr next week and we will get some exact measurements but I am for sure getting bigger! I didn't have a too eventful rest of last week. I love spending my mornings with my Daddy and he is really enjoying it with me too! He has figured out how to hold me and sing to me to calm me down!I am trying to be really good for him but some days I just have a bad day and cry... I have recently discovered my fingers and hands! I LOVE to put them in my mouth! I am holding onto different things as well as being more aware of what is going on around me! I am talking to people a lot more and making lots of sounds and smiling a lot! I also have been working hard during tummy time and am holding my head up soo good now! My Mommy put me in my bumbo seat last night and I sat up holding my head up for quite a while! Then I realized I was in this plastic seat and didn't like it any more! I really like to stand up in peoples laps too. When I am getting upset if you stand me up I get really happy! I do my situps every day and so my tummy is getting stronger too! On Friday Mommy and Daddy decided that we would go on a short trip and at first we were going to go to Sieverville or something like that and go to some stores but then they decided that we would go see my Aunt Kristy and Uncle Barry! We left on Saturday morning and drove to Lebanon Tennessee. We drove through some mountains and Mommy was nervous about having some rocks fall as lots had been falling earlier in the week. We made it through without any problems. Mommy was soo glad we went too because she got her Dunkin Donuts for breakfast! (even though they didn't have the best kind- maybe next time) We went shopping at the outlet mall and then hung out at Kristy and Barry's house. We even went on a short walk! While we were getting ready on Sunday morning Mommy was feeding me and I starting pooping and Mommy thought I was just tooting as she felt my diaper moving. Well surprise I pooped out of the back of my diaper and my outfit was covered! It even got on Mommy's pants! Mommy didn't remember she had packed me some other clothes so I just wore my pj's to church! Good thing that they were cute! Mommy thought of taking me to the nursery since I had just ate but she couldn't leave me with anyone else yet... I loved the music like always and did soo good in the service! Some girls came up to me after the service and had to tell me how cute I was and that they saw my hair during the service and had to come see me! I had a fun time visiting Kristy and Barry and can't wait for them to come to my house again for Thanksgiving! I visited Mommy at work on Monday and got to meet a couple more people that work with Mommy! Everyone says "I can't believe how much hair he has!" One person said 'no white baby ever has this much hair!' hahaha well I do and I am white!! :) It was a good week and I am glad that I am getting stronger and can hold up my own head! (even though it makes Mommy sad that I am growing up so fast!)

I'm 2 months old!!!

My crazy bed head!:)

I love sleeping on my side in my boppy!

Cruiser decided he wanted to sleep with me!

Mommy was telling me last night that I am 2 months old! She was telling me about waiting to go to the hospital to get me out of her tummy! She was soo glad to have me in her arms instead of waiting to go and meet me!

I had such a crazy week last week! Mommy got to stay home from work on Wednesday and hang out with me and Daddy in the morning. After Daddy left for work, Mommy and I got ready and went to have lunch with him then headed off to the photographers house! I was hungry when we got there so Mommy fed me and tried to get me to fall asleep but I wanted to be awake! I was soo excited to see everything that I did not sleep! We started taking pictures laying down on a bed and I was smiling and enjoying it! I got sad after a little bit of it and while Mommy was comforting me, she and the photographer started talking... I got bored and fell asleep which is just what they wanted me to do! Then we took a few more pictures on the bed then moved to another room and took pictures of Mommy holding me! The photographer thought they were all beautiful!:) He is supposed to put a few of them up on his blog which is http://canslerblog.com/. Hopefully he puts them up soon so we can see them! On Thursday Daddy and I were out running around and decided to go visit Mommy at work! Everyone there thinks I am soo cute so I don't mind!:) On Saturday our family went to Chattanooga to go shopping. Daddy got a blower to blow the leaves out of the yard and he was excited to try it out! Mommy and I went home when Daddy went to work and found out that my Nana and Papa were coming to see me! I was excited to see them! I told them lots of stories and made lots of funny faces at them! My Nana said that I make so many funny faces! On Sunday we went to church and then I took a nap when I woke up we got ready to go for a little drive to see my cousins Emma, Luke and Caleb! I was soo excited to see them! It was my cousin Caleb's birthday and so everyone had some cake except me:( I was sad but everyone said I could have some in about 10 months... I can't wait! Monday was a Monday and even though it was my 2 month birthday I was tired and wanted to sleep! I have been enjoying my life and can't wait for many more months of life... I figure if life is this good at 2 months it can only get better!

I'm almost 7 weeks playing in the leaves!

Hanging out with Daddy

In my Halloween Costume!

It has been a fun week... on Wednesday October 28th mommy had to go back to have her six week follow up... While at the doctor all the nurses decided that I was just too cute! They are having new pictures made for their office and decided that since I was soo cute and that my mommy is pretty that we should be used for the pictures! We will be going to have professional pictures taken on Wednesday Nov.4... Mommy is excited and proud of me for being cute! I hope that my hair is cool for the pictures since that is my most noticed feature! :) The rest of the week was pretty quiet. We ran errands as normal. Mommy was worried about me for a couple of days because I kept spitting up! I would eat and then a little while later spit up and Mommy thought it was that she was eating bad foods but no matter what it seemed like I just kept spitting up. Mommy figured out that I just need to burp a couple of times after I eat and then I do better! My I decided that I can take longer go eat at night time and ate at 10pm then didn't get up until 3am. With the time change it meant I waited about 5 hours! I usually go to sleep around 11 but at least I am letting Mommy sleep a little while longer! On Sunday morning Daddy wasn't feeling good so Mommy went to get medicine and I hung out with my Nana... I was talking to her and having a good time until I got hungry. She helped me wait until Mommy came home to feed me! I did good at church and almost made it through the whole service. Mommy took me out and lots of older ladies talked to us and thought I was cute! Monday was Mommy's first day back to work. I was sad to have her leave me but I think she was more sad to leave me! I did pretty good staying with Daddy. I wanted to eat two times and almost didn't have enough milk but Daddy made it work. I was happy to see Mommy when she came home and was anxious to eat! I think that I will be ok to stay at home with Daddy but I hope that he can get his new job so Mommy can stay with me too... I don't like having to share her with other kids! Well that is my week so far. I will let you know how my pictures go tomorrow! If they are posted online I will give you the link! Thanks for coming and visiting me Nana!!
