My growing boy


Michael will be two months old tomorrow. I can't believe how fast it is all going by. I know it's only two months out of his entire life but he's still growing up on me too quickly! I've already made up my mind that I'll rock him to sleep til he's twelve....then he'll be too big for me to hold. =) He's been smiling and cooing alot more and I've caught him laughing in his sleep a couple of times. He must have been dreaming about peeing on mommy or daddy; he usually gets a kick out of that. Oh and his little bobbin (pouty face) is the cutest thing I've ever seen. He sticks his little bottom lip out as far as it will go and gives me the saddest little eyes...I'm not supposed to laugh but I do and I kiss him more! He hasn't begun sleeping through the night, yet. Although, two nights ago he only woke once and that was at 3 am. Last night was more like every two hours which he hasn't done since he's been home. But he slept all yesterday afternoon so I half way expected that. We've been going on more walks and hanging around outside. I can tell he can see alot more because he can't stop looking around when he's out there. Poor little man is going to get four shots tomorrow afternoon. I'm not going to be able to look, I'll cry more than him...which is why I recruited Stephen into being there so he can do it. He's alot stronger than I am when it comes to things like that. I have lots more pictures posted on my myspace page under his One Month album so you guys can all go check it out. I'm still waiting for a little bit of me to shine through but he's still alllll Stephen..and so darn cute!!! How I went this long without him, I don't know.

As for me, I am going to have surgery on my gallbladder April 21st. Next Tuesday. I beleive it's an in and out procedure. I could stay overnight depending on what time he schedules me for surgery. I am so excited to get this over and done with. I've grown acustomed to eating healthier and it's done great for my baby weight. I dont' know how much i've lost but it's atleast twenty pounds. I'm almost down to my original size and fitting most of my old clothes...I honestly don't know how I squeezed myself in to some of those things though, jeezzz...now that I have a little more junk in the trunk alot of my pants are useless. Oh well, I guess I have to go shopping for more =)

Our little doodle bug



It's been a while since I've updated. We are doing pretty good. Michael is getting big so fast. He's begun cooing and smiling and holding his head up on his own. His favorite time is the morning. Most mornings start off with his "grunting" from his crib doing his morning business which is pretty hilarious to wake up to. I've been "marked" a couple of times while changing a diaper half asleep and have since learned to keep my guard up. =) He has such a great personality already. I can tell he's going to be a character. I came home from a solo trip to the grocery store the other day to find Stephen wearing something completely different and dressing the baby upstairs. He'd finally got Stephen!! It was pretty funny. He went to the doctor yesterday and at 6 weeks old he weighs 13 and a half pounds and is 25 inches long. Needless to say, he's quite healthy. He was smiling all morning and cooing at his doctor who just loved on him...And how can you not?? If i don't kiss him a thousand times a day, i don't kiss him at all. He really is such a joy and Stephen and I could not be more thrilled to have reached this point in our lives. I'm still waiting for him to look a little more like me....but he looks more and more like his daddy everyday. I'm not complaining, he's so handsome, I could care less either way. Here are a couple new pictures. I'll try to stay more updated.
