Almost 11 weeks old

We had Lee's 2 month check up today and he was 12lb 13oz and 24inches in length. He also got 3 shots and a booster drop thingie. He screamed poor guy, it was horrible. If you didn't know, I will do anything to avoid shots all together. So I didn't like him getting them. We came home and he slept some, then was pretty fussy for the rest of the night.



Other than that, he rolled over for the first time yesterday! I think it was a total fluke thing, but hopefully he starts doing it more often soon. I didn't see it, I had my back turned, and when I looked at him again he was on his back (he was laying on his stomach). He's doing really good laying on his tummy. He will only lay there for about 3 minutes at a time, then he starts to hate it. He also started noticing his feet yesterday too. He was sitting on the couch and was playing with his hands and kicked his foot. Well, then his focus was on his one foot. He started kicking and kicking it. His feet were all over the place. He then fell over and it ended :)


He has been smiling SO much more and also cooing more! He has started smiling at strangers now too. When Brooke was here with her 2 year old Aimee, he would smile at them all the time too.

We had a blast having Brooke and Aimee here. Brooke bought me a starter kit to start a scrapbook for Lee. It had everything from stickers, tons of paper, letters, blank pages, and sheet protectors. It is SO cute, and so boy! I think when I get a few more pages done, I will take pictures and post them so you can see. So while Brooke was here we scrapbooked a lot and she helped me start Lee's book. We also went to Brookfield Zoo last Friday. It was really hot and crowded but we had fun!

I keep trying to get a picture of Lee smiling, but everytime I hold up the camera, he is more interested in the camera than smiling. So here are a few attempts at me trying to get him smiling. I hid the camera and then popped it out when he smiled. So they are kinda blurry.

Week 9

Well, Lee is officially 2 months old. He's getting bigger and bigger every day.

This week was the first time I noticed Lee watching his hands. He has this look of "what are those?". It's really cute. The first time I caught him doing it, I took a video.



So funny, he cracks me up!! He's getting to be much better in the evenings and is starting to sooth himself a little bit. He has this cry that's "i'm bored" instead of his normal wailing. I think he's starting to differenciate between bordum/tired and hunger/pain. Otherwise, it's me that noticing a difference in his cries.

Still not feeling that great...
Yesterday Lee was acting very strange. First off, he slept from 9pm to 6am straight through. Not a bad thing, but it was 9 hours so I thought he would be starving. I try and feed him and he would only take 2oz. He's been taking 5-6oz usually. He was also acting like it was hurting him to eat. Now that I think about it, it's more like I think he was too tired to eat. He feel asleep again somewhere between 6:30 - 6:45am and slept til 9:30am. I made another bottle thinking, "Ok, now he's gotta be starving", but nope, he only ate 1oz. He fell asleep again at 10am. He then slept till 1:45pm. He took 3oz. at 2pm but it was a fight with him. I called the pediatrition and she had us come in just to make sure. We went and she couldn't find anything wrong. He didn't have a fever and was acting normal for her. So she said that he probably has a virus and to watch for a fever. We came home and he slept and slept a bunch more. He was really cranky when he was awake too.

Today seems a little better, he's more content and not crabby, but he's still not his normal self. He just ate 3oz. So at least he's taking in more fluid.

8 Weeks Old

Well, we've hit the 8 weeks mark which is almost 2 months. He's growing and growing so much. I can't believe how big he seems to me. Then I see a baby that's like 6 months old and they look enormous, Lee looks tiny. I can't imagine Lee that big. I'm trying to enjoy everyday, but it just seems to go too fast.

I put Lee through another grueling photoshoot ;) For some reason I just love photographing him. I have always loved photography, but I'm enjoying it more and more lately. I broke out my old camera that's a film camera and I took the pictures below. It was SO much fun. If you get them developed at Walmart, you can get them put on a CD for only $1.97!

Ok, here's what Lee has been up to in the last 2 weeks (since I didn't update last week). The best part (even though I didn't get a picture of it), he's started smiling a lot at me and Steve! If we tell him we love him he gets this HUGE gummy smile that's just adorable.

Steve & I have heard him start to giggle in his sleep. It's just the start, but SO adorable! He also is having bad dreams too. He will be sound asleep and then his bottom lip pouts out and he starts to cry. Then he goes right back to sleep after a couple seconds.

Lets see, what else, oh he slept last night for 8 hours straight for the very first time. He was sounds asleep by 8:30pm and didn't make a peep until 4:30am and then he screamed! He ate 3oz and went back to bed until 7am. He's still getting up at 7am almost everyday.

Lastly, he wore his first 3-6 month outfit this week. It was actually onesie PJ's for bed.

Hee, hee ;0)

This is his expression most of the time. He always looks so worried. I think he's going to be a worry-wart. Although in this picture it looks like he's shocked, his eyebrows are actually furrowed together.
