Who me?

I just finished updating the blog with 2 posts, and attempted to add Leo's 2 month photo to the side of the blog.  But I got a very disturbing message that I have "exceeded the photo upload quota" and I can no longer upload pictures.  We will have to research into this to find a solution.  But I assure you that I will NOT be taking less pictures!!

Celebrate Good Times

We went on our first overnight trip as a family of four last weekend.  One of Shae's coworkers got married, so we went to the wedding in South Carolina.  When I told Teddy we were going on a trip, he was so excited he named his suitcase "Sukie."  After he helped me pack, he quickly rolled her to the top of the stairs and continued to periodically "check on Sukie" until we left the next day.  It was a 90 mile trip and we only had to stop 4 times.... traveling with two is definitely harder!  When we finally pulled into the hotel, Teddy said, "My cousins will be there!"  Poor guy thought we were going to visit family.  Luckily the hotel had a pool, a tv in the room (with cable!) and he got to pull "Sukie" so he   still had a blast. 

Luckily both boys still nap:

Before we left, I had to find the perfect outfit for Leo's first social event.

He was not amused to be my dress up doll.

Such handsome boys:

They must get it from their Dadda!

While juggling a 2 month old and an almost 3 year old at a reception was difficult, one thing is for sure.  Teddy had a BLAST!  He danced with every lady at the party... except for me.  When I asked to dance with him he said, "No" and ran.  At least Leo danced with me. 

Shae was a little sad that his role as best dancer at a wedding has now been taken over.  

When we left, Shae and I both felt it was at least 11:30pm... it was only 9:30.  We were all happy to get back to the hotel and to get in our comfortable pj's:

Isn't this one of the best smiles???

We even had some time to enjoy the pool:

We are in the middle of Fall Birthday Season here!  We celebrated Aunt Mir-mo's birthday this week:

Maggie read to the younger cousins. So sweet!

Leo is 2 Months Old

Leo is 2 months old already and it is hard to imagine our family with out him.  The time is flying by too quickly and he is growing bigger every single day.  His newborn clothes have been put away for weeks now, and I am slowly putting away the 0-3 month ones as well.  Today we moved up to size 3 diapers.  He is a very alert and sweet baby, and unless he is hungry or his tummy hurts, he is pretty content.   He has started giving us smiles, so my assistant and I tried to capture one on camera.

Those are some juicy cheeks:

Here is a behind the scenes look... Leo with my assistant:

Of course after I took Leo out of the cute outfit, then we captured a smile:

At his 2 week appointment, Leo's pediatrician gave him some "homework"... he was told to start smiling and coo-ing by his 2 month appointment.  Here we are cramming for finals:

Happy boy:

His cowboy outfit from Wendy makes him smile!

When we are not doing "homework" we spend plenty of time resting with our friends:

Brothers in guitar shirts:

and Sesame Street:

At his 2 month appointment, poor Leo got 5 shots.  The doctor was very impressed by his growth and said at 14lbs he is in the 95th percentile of weight.  His head is in the 50th percentile, while his height is in the 25th percentile.  She was so impressed with his rolls that she took him to the nurses' station to show him off!  His homework for next time: to start giggling, grasp things with two hands, and roll over a few times.  I have to add that last time we went to the doctor's office, one of the nurses took a look at him and said, "He has some juicy thighs!"  Teddy was almost 10 months old the first time he was called juicy.  I think Leo is an overachiever; trying already to out do  his big brother.
