More about Justin

I thought I'd add a little to what Andi posted; there's much more to the story of this little boy.

In the past couple weeks Justin has began to show some personality. He's becoming interested in things like kicking his bouncer to get the bubbles going. He's beginning to respond to being played with. But most notably he is turning into a TERRIBLE little flirt. He is learning that Mommy responds very positively to big smiles and lots of soft, sweet, adorable baby talk. He goos and coos at her while trying out his many different smiles. He is learning to work eyebrow movements into his expressions for added emphasis and expression; and Andi is absolutely eating it up. I'm sure most of you think Andi is far too practical to be affected by such silly things as flirting, but, take it from a man who knows, that could not be further from the truth. If this keeps up that little boy is gonna get away with murder when Daddy's not around....

2 Months Gone in a Flash

It seems every time I think I have enough time to sit down and add to our blog, a baby or a child wakes up and needs to be changed or fed or played with or snuggled. But somewhere in the midst of changing, feeding, burping, and rocking Justin, he turned into a really fun (and really cute) 2-month old. Yesterday he had his 2-month well check and immunizations. He was such a good boy for the doctor, and he is as healthy as he can be. He checked in at 23.5 inches long and 12 pounds, 12 ounces...up 3 inches and 5 pounds since his birth. He seems so big that I was surprised to hear that his weight is only 50th percentile. He is already outgrowing many of his 0-3 month clothes, but he also seems to have outgrown his colicky phase (fingers crossed that it's not just temporary). He is a much happier baby these last couple weeks. He's still not sleeping great at night, but 3 to 4 hours at a time sure beats the 1 or 2 hour stretches he was sleeping.

Justin's starting to stir. It will soon be feeding time once again. I'd better wrap this up and make sure it will save to our blog. I attempted to publish this same blog yesterday, but got an error message and couldn't even save what I had written. So frustrating because I just don't feel like I have any time to waste right now...and that was time wasted. I'll close with some pictures of Justin from the last 2 to 3 weeks.
