two months

:: finn finally smiles! and NOTHING has ever made me happier. it is so completely adorable and oh so addictive.

:: he is one hungry boy. and prefers that his meals be served quick, warm and every two hours.

:: this babe is still a good nighttime sleeper (knock on wood) and wakes up once or twice for a midnight (or 4 a.m.) snack.

:: he really only cries when he is hungry, bored or stuck in the carseat for too long. and he usually gives a little whimper or shriek before he begins wailing. i like to think of it as finn's warning cry-he gives me a chance to respond before really losing it. i think that's so thoughtful of him.

:: his favorite thing is to lay on his back. he kicks his legs, jerks his arms around and takes in the sights. this is when we get the most smiles and coos out of him.

:: finn takes one long morning nap and just moved on from sleeping in the swing to the crib yesterday. what a big boy! that is about it on the nap front, unless he falls asleep while being held, or in the car. but its ok-at least mama can count on a shower every morning. woo hoo!

:: this boy is wearing either 3-6 months or plain old 6 month sized clothes...it blows my mind how quickly he grows. i am pretty much packing away clothes every week! (tear)

:: every morning i wake up excited for my day with finn. and contrary to what i thought, some of my favorite days are the ones where we have nowhere to go and nothing to do and i can spend every moment just soaking him up. we truly love him more each day and wonder what we did for fun before he arrived...it's just that good.

*finn absolutely refused to look at me so this was the best shot we got. the picture i took right after this one shows a very unhappy baby. but isn't his outfit cute? does it look familiar to anyone?
