He's gotten slightly better at posing. The fact that he can smile helps a lot!
Little Man has grown a lot in the two months he's been in the outside world. Well, not in terms of poundage or anything, but in terms of mental faculties. This little boy has been able to roll from his tummy onto his back since he was six-and-a-half weeks old (he's now almost 10 weeks old)!
Such an over-achiever.
He survived Mommie's 27th birthday at Macaroni Grill, and only resorted to tears when he realized that not all of the attention was on him.
He's overcome with excitement
He survived his first pool day, when Mommie and Daddy hung out with friends, then the girls went off to dinner- without babies. I suppose this is a touch misleading. The child did not actually get in the water. He actually didn't even see the water. He's still infinitely too small for any type of swim diaper, so he and Daddy stayed inside and hung out with the other people who didn't want to swim. Don't you fret, though, he will be getting in a pool sometime soon- even if it finally happens at the beach in October.
The men with the babies
The women without the babies (except for Abby). Also to note:
there are two babies in this picture because Alyssa is pregnant!
He also survived his first day of day care! He wasn't sure at first if it was something he was interested in trying. He's doing so well there, and his teachers tell me every day when I pick him up how he's such a sweet and happy baby.
I'd like to meet this baby.
He stares skeptically on his first day.
The baby I see is fussy and cries and only finally falls asleep between 11pm and midnight, and has started waking up- at least once through the night- when he used to sleep through the night. We're getting better at figuring him out though. It's like every week we have a new baby who wants something new and we need to relearn him. It's becoming less frustrating now that I know this, though.
"Why are you taking pictures of me instead of making me happy?"
Just look at that pouty lip.
Hanging with Puppy immediately after second lunch.
Anyways, he is doing well at day care, and I'm doing alright with handling it. I still can't drop him off there though. I just can't. The thought of it makes me weepy. I'd much rather go pick him up so I can have him the rest of the night!
Just the cutest photo subjects around.
On the 15th of August, my mom finally made her big move to Huntsville. She drove up with a car-full of belongings and that's all she has. My grandma came up with her to help with the drive and to meet Babykins. My mom started a new job on the 17th and she's enjoying it, and my grandma flew back down home after a week of cuddling and playing with Babyface.
He met both of his Great Grandmothers in August! Grandma Doris and GG:
I tried to get a photo with him. Below is typical:
But we snuck one in when he wasn't paying attention:
My sleepy Brownie.
Tummy time!
But she's not afraid or ashamed to beg for attention when Little Man is asleep.
"Play with me. Now."

Hey, waking up once every night is not bad for a 2-month-old!! I would have loved for that to be the case with Gus when he was 9 months old....
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I'm interested in seeing an update on Brownie! Every time I see him he's happy, so is he like that at home in general? Still enjoying daycare?
