Watching

Watching Mommy decorate the Christmas tree.

Cereal

Yesterday Samuel had rice cereal for the first time.  Feeding him was hilarious!  He liked it so much we couldn't get it into his mouth fast enough.  I think we are going to have a big eater on our hands!

2 months old

Samuel had a checkup on his 2 month birthday.  He weighed in at 13.3 lbs and is now 24 inches long.  Both height and weight are in the 90th percentile.  Doc said his proportions are perfect... he's a lean and healthy baby. 

Zonked out

Here is one sleepy baby!

Snazzy mobile!

When we picked out Samuel's bedding, we also got a cute matching mobile.  Samuel loves it so much, but naive first-time Mommy didn't realize wind-up mobiles only go for about 3 minutes.  After an hour or more of running into his room to wind it over and over and over, I decided it was time to find a motorized mobile.

Oddly enough, there aren't many of these to choose from.  I've been trying to avoid bright primary colors, but didn't have much of a choice if I don't want to be want to be winding his mobile nonstop.  The mobile we decided on is perfect for Samuel... it has farm animals, rotates playing three classical music pieces and best of all plays for 15 minutes before shutting off.

Laundry time

Daddy was watching Samuel so I could get some things done around the house.  I asked Dan to get Samuel's laundry off the clothes line.  This is what happened...

Loves his blanket...

He wrapped himself up in his blanket...

Paparazzi's!!!

The paparazzi's just won't leave him alone!

Ok, so the paparazzi is Mommy...
 

Chilly out!

We've had a few days in the 50's and brisk winds.  Samuel and I had to make a run to town, so we had to get him bundled up first.

The Muppet Show

Samuel loves watching The Muppet Show, especially when the band starts playing and lights are flashing.  Here he is watching it with Daddy.

Big blue eyes

Samuel was keeping Mommy company and likes to lay on Mommy and Daddy's bed.

Airplane ride

Environmentally friendly

Cloth diapers hanging on the clothes line.  Environmentally friendly times two!

Loves his glider

This is Samuel's Soothing Motions glider.  He loves it.  It moves side to side or front to back and plays music.  We have it placed in front of our big picture window because he loves looking outside.  He can't stay away very long... it is indeed soothing to him.

Sleepy

Snuggled up in his play pen.
