2 Months and Counting...

Alden turned 2 months old two days ago.  It's crazy how fast newborns develop and grow.  He's packing on the pounds and keeping the learning curve for us parents steep.  :-/  Earlier successes with sleeping have come crashing down, and I daily struggle to get this boy to sleep.  At this age though, I think I'm doing something wrong so I am in constant contact with friends with young children and weekly adjust what I'm doing to see if it'll take hold.  I'll let you know when we figure it out... 

As for what has happened this month:
- first experience with snow
- moved to sleeping in his crib full time
  *we did discover that he goes down a lot easier with music
- first babysitting experience, first with Greg's mom and then mine
- started attending church regularly again, we mostly listen from the hallway though...
- started sleeping up to 5 hour stretches at night



- into size 2 diapers and fully into 3 mo clothes
- smiles and laughs at us
- loves his baby carrier - falls asleep in it nearly every time!
- rolled over in his crib (unintentional?)
- photo shoot with Jennifer (her pictures to come, I snapped this one.)
- 12 lb. 13 oz, 21 inches long puts him in the 75% percentile.





Have you ever seen such a cute upset baby?
