Happy Halloween!

2 Months

My baby boy is 2 months old!!

The last 2-3 weeks have been hard.  Braxton has been extra fussy...From constant whining and fussing to major (inconsolable) meltdowns.  There wasn't really any pattern making it really hard to make him feel better or calm down.  The last few days have been a huge improvement and he's been pretty happy so I'm hoping it was just a 'phase'.

We had his 2 month check-up last Friday and he handled his shots like a champ.

His stats are...

Weight:  10 lb 12 oz (25%)

Height:  22" long (49%)

Head Circumference:  75% (I don't remember the number)

He has started smiling a lot more, making lots of noises, and wiggling around a ton.  He is starting to get such a little personality and is a lot more fun.

And because pictures are the best part...here are some from the last 2 weeks.

 

Ready to Party!

Cousins

Jamaal, BG, and the kiddos came up to visit us last weekend and to meet Braxton for the first time.  It was pretty uneventful... we hung out at home a lot and made a trip to the aquarium.  I can't believe how big Lorraine and Miles are from last time we saw them this summer!  Miles has basically doubled in size!  

And as you can see... someone else has learned to ham it up for the camera.

Braxton was less than impressed

Mimi wanted a picture of all the grandkids together...this series cracks me up!

Ethan is TWO

Our nephews birthday was the day before the wedding so we celebrated the day after with family... it was really low key with just pizza, gifts and cake.

 Papa and Braxton 

Ethan got tons of "bye-bye's" (what he calls cars/trucks) - his favorite.

He also realized that he loves frosting!!  He wouldn't blow out the candles but he put his hand in the cake to taste the frosting.  When he realized it was good- he started trying to dig his hand in over and over and get as much as he could :)

 We tried all weekend to get a pic of Ethan and Braxton together... these next two were the closest we got.  Ha!
