Lucas is 2 months!

Sleeping like a baby . . .




I took Lucas to his two month appointment yesterday by myself. Tony stayed home and studied while James napped. I was a little apprehensive about taking him because it was his first round of vaccines and I have a hard time watching my baby being stuck! (Even though I give babies injections at work, it's harder when it's your own.) He cried so hard his face turned as red as a tomato but he was easily soothed. He also ended up sleeping really well last night, no fever no reactions that I could tell. What a little trooper. He is a whooping 13lbs, 3oz and 25 3/4 inches tall. Off the chart for height and 75th percentile for weight. Despite being a almost a pound smaller at birth than James he is now bigger than James was at his same age. (At two months James was 12lbs, 4.7oz and 24inches tall)

James at two months . . .






James and I had a busy day today. We did four loads of laundry, made chicken enchiladas, mowed the front and back lawns and everybody had a bath! What a busy day. I officially have regained my pre-pregnancy energy level. (I must mention, this was my first time mowing the lawns. It is usually Tony's job but I did it just this once just to prove to him I could. Needless to say, he got home from school and was quite impressed.) While mowing the front lawn I noticed James was playing in some dirt with his shovel and a pail. Then I realized there was cat poop in the dirt. YUCKY. I told him not to touch his face at all. Luckily we were all done so I took James inside and we went straight into the shower. My poor little guy was covered in dirt head to toe. He even had dirt up his nose! When we passed by the mirror and he caught a glimpse of himself he laughed. Thank you for all your help James, you are the best little buddy a mommy could have! Oh yeah, and thank you Lucas . . . for sleeping the whole time ;)
