Two months old!

My baby is growing too fast. It seems like we just brought him home, but then it's hard to remember life without him. He's such a sweet little guy. He gives me the cutest little smiles and just looks at me like I'm the best thing ever. I just love it. The boys love him so much and they have gotten better about being soft with him. Dave really loves this age when they are first cooing and responding to interaction, I think he feels like he can finally connect with them.

Jonathan is two months today. These two are from the other day, this was the first time I caught a smile, although he's been smiling (intentionally) for a few weeks now.

And this is today, his "birthday"...

I love his dimples in this one, you can really see them....

Doin' his Karate kid thing... Aye Daniel-san!

I got him this sock monkey just before he turned one month old. It's 20 inches long- same as he was when he was born. I thought it would be fun to use as a prop to show his growth each month for the first year. I haven't been diligent enough for something like this before, but I saw that other people do similar things, and it's so cute to see, so I really want to accomplish it. It's only one picture a month, I can do that right? 

So here he is at one month:

And at two months today:

He doesn't seem as chunky to me as he looks in this picture! To me, he is still my tiny little baby. But I can't deny how much he is growing. Every day when I pick him up, I can't believe how big he's getting!

Catching up... pictures of Jonathan

Sorry I've been so bad at blogging lately. Here's a little catch up. These are from a couple of weeks ago 5-6 weeks old...

Wish us luck...

We gotta get this done this time. When he fills the squares we're goin' to Chuck E. Cheese's.

My little artists

We got the watercolors out last week. It had been a long time, they were still packed from the move. Obviously I don't do activities like this with them enough. They were loving it! Ben painted his so carefully, it was cute. He painted each Wiggle "their" color- he did awesome. 

Christopher HAD to paint too, but once he was up there he was more into playing around with the water and trying to drink it... or lick his brush... than actually painting. But he had fun.

Yesterday, Ben was drawing, and he drew this awesome person that I was super impressed by, so I had to share it. He drew the eyes so well and the nose and everything on the face was facing to the side. I just thought it was really good for his age. I'm hoping he not only has his daddy's musical ear, but also a little of Mommy's artistic genes.

He was so cute. I asked him if I could take a picture of it, and he said "Sure!" and then afterwards, went to draw more and then kept coming to show me and then he would say, "Let's take a photo- Come on, let's go where there is some good light."
