Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

Can anyone believe this snow! holy cow! I woke up this morning and walked into the living room and was so surprised I scared Eric until he fully woke up and realized I wasn't scared, just shocked! We had a wonderful day playing in the snow. As I type it is after 9 pm and my precious husband is still out in the snow, building the biggest snowball ever-according to him. I love that about him. He is such a kid at heart and I know that our kids will have such a fun dad to grow up with. Nash is doing great and so are we. Just wanted to post some pictures from our day.

2 month check-up/check-in

2 months old!

melts my heart!

Can you believe he is two months old! I sure can't. He has changed so much in a few short weeks that to look at him it is so obvious that he is older, but I feel like it's only been hours ....sniff sniff.

He went for his two month check-up and shots last week with his pedi. She gave him a clean bill of health on everything. His ears even looked so much better than they did last time! yay! He HATES getting his ears looked at and threw his first fit ever while she was doing this! Eric and I just looked at each other with our mouths dropped. We had no idea he had lungs like that on him. Thankfully most of the time he just fusses a little bit. He is starting to show a lot more of a personality though.

Here are his stats from his visit.

Weight--15.05 lbs--97% ( we have a chunkey monkey right now!)

Height--24 1/4 inches--85%

Head circumference--90%

To sum it all up--he is a big healthy boy. No illnesses yet! whoo hoo. He got all the needed vaccinations and barely even cried for those. He was a little fussy when we got home but one dose of tylenol and a good long nap cured all!

He is sleeping through the night! He actually has been since about 7 weeks. He sleeps between 9 and 10 hours straight. Before long I will probably attempt cutting out the 10-11pm snack he has. I actually wake him up and feed him a few ounces then but I'm thinking about attempting to cut it out and see what happens.

Yes, we realize we have an awesome baby on our hands. We have plenty of friends who have 4-6 month old babies that aren't even coming close to sleeping through the night. We are blessed beyond words because I am one Momma who needs good sleep and anyone who knows Eric knows that he loves his sleep too.

Hopefully this dreadful weather will turn around soon and we can start taking him outside on some walks.

I have to go back to work next Sunday the 14th. I am NOT looking forward to being away from him for that long at all. I know that I am truly blessed to still be at home with him and only going back part time for now, but that doesn't take away the heartache of leaving my baby, even if he is staying with his Daddy and Grandparents.

Hailing in January

MOM! stop taking pictures of me!

Big yawn

I can't believe that it hailed here yesterday! I am very grateful for the warmer temps recently but not so sure about the severe weather to go along with it.

We are all doing great here! Nash is growing and changing so fast it's crazy! He has started cooing recently when I talk to him which is so fascinating to me. I get smiles all the time and he seems to really know that his mommy is here to make everything better. He really calms down quickly when I pick him up now. I love him so much and even more everyday!

He is sleeping through the night now. He has for the last 4-5 nights. We have him on a pretty set schedule and he seems to do well with it. He gets up between 6-7 in the morning. stays up except for a few cat naps until 11ish. goes down for a nap until 2ish. stays up until 5-6 at night. down for another nap until 8 or 9. then down for the night between 10 and 11.

Here are some recent pics of our pride and joy.

Look at me! 1 month old. ET wanted to use the Bevo as a reference. I think it's way too big

Nash

Nash's Daddy! whoa they look alike!

We spent this last weekend in Granbury with Eric's family and they got to have lots of lovin on Nash time. Little man is passed out asleep right now and probably will be for a while. He was up for 6 straight hours at one point today! whew!

Last week we finally broke down and took him to the pediatrician to have his umbilical cord removed. The stubborn thing just wasn't coming off on its own. It ended up being no big deal and she said he most likely won't have an outie belly button because of it, but there is a chance it could be a little outie. Thats ok...he will just match his mom! I had a serious outie until I was 5-6 and still have a slight one.

We finally solved the mystery of where Nash came from. We were digging thru the old photos at his parents house this last week and we found a pic of Eric that you could mistake for Nash if it weren't for the 30 year difference!

One month old!

Little man still doesn't have complete control of his eyeballs yet! I think the crossed eyes are cute

Look at all those chins!

Christmas eve

Playing on his playmat. His Christmas present from Mommy and Daddy

wow! time flies doesn't it! I can't believe he will be one month old tomorrow! He has changed so much it makes me want to cry. Just today he started reaching for things and it shocked me. He is growing up so fast and I can't take it all in fast enough. We weighed him yesterday and the chunky monkey is up to about 11 lbs. He is eating like crazy and I still don't know where it's all going! He is smiling for real now. Hopefully I can capture a picture of it soon and post it. We had a great Christmas and hope you did to! Here are some more recent pics.

My Mom did a good job of taking some pics

So cute! he looks like a little elf

More pics upon demand! Nash is doing great and growing well. He had his 2 week appt yesterday and he now weighs 9 lbs and is 21 1/2 inches long! The pediatrician seemed pleased and all is well. He has a little bit of fluid in his ears but hopefully adjusting his incline while he is sleeping will clear it up or at least prevent an ear infection. Merry Christmas everyone!
