baby blues

i think he'll definitely be keeping these; he comes by it honestly - it'll be interesting to see what hue they finally end up.

happy turkey day!

he didn't get to eat any turkey this year, but got to wear his "i'm stuffed" thanksgiving outfit with 2 new bibs. i was able to capture a few good smiles...but he kept smiling as soon as the flash went off so we're going to have to work on that timing!

playing

hanging out with our babies.

going on a date

yesterday we dropped the baby off at mr c's folks' house and we went on a grown-up date to the movies. we saw Harry Potter. I haven't missed one in the theatre yet - and I really wanted to see this one. but alas, I think my days of going to the midnight showings are long gone.
it was great! I'm super excited for the next one. its gonna be intense with all the rest of the story they have to cover still.

newborn photo shoot

we met with julie miller of la memoire photography today and picked up the little guy's newborn photo shoot. here's a sampling - enjoy!

checkup stats

the lil guy weighed in at 13 pounds 4 ounces and measured 24 inches long. he's doing great - a very healthy little boy. he did not tolerate the shots very well. he screamed and cried. took a little while to calm down. he's sleeping it off now. here's when we first put him in his carseat.

concentrate

he studies everything. we were at burger king and he was fascinated with the window cling advertising.

zoomies

this is how they are all the time. can you believe that they've even mellowed out a bit?!

mom! help!

first hazel's barking at the bone in the toy bin that she finally dug out later that afternoon. but she hits the swing seat with her body on accident so it started swinging. she didn't appreciate the "ghost" in the swing and had to come up to make sure I had the baby. what a crazy dog.

interesting approach...

this was on a gas pump at the station I filled up at last week.

complainer

he "loves" tummy time.

2 months

the girls

never too many

in my opinion there can never be too many bathtime photos. this was the first bath in the baby tub without the infant hammock.

I took these right before my phone did a faceplant into the tub. miraculously, the phone survived without any issues - whew!

keep it going!

since the baby's arrived, I've continued eating pretty healthy like when I was pregnant.

nursing burns lots of calories - about 20 per ounce - who can complain about that?!

well - as of today I'm 227! so I've now lost 13 pounds since April of 2009. I'm going to continue working towards the goals I set for myself then.
