Spring

So spring has arrived - however here in AK that means sunny weather mixed with fresh snow. It was really beautiful outside last week and Neal, Yawkey and I were able to take a few walks out in the sun.


We are into a nice routine here at our house now and Neal has been doing great. He has been sleeping for me consistently 5 hours at a time and last night he actually slept for 7 hours which was so wonderful. He is smiling now - though you still have to work hard to get those cute little grins. He gives the most smiles right when he wakes up. He is also starting to enjoy bath time a little more (as you can tell by the photos he mostly likes once bath time is over)



Today we had his 2 month appointment. Neal is growing and is now 9lbs 6oz. He did a wonderful job at the Doctors and also received his first set of shots. He only cried while the nurse was poking him and as soon as she was done he settled right down and now is fast asleep. He takes after his dad and is long and skinny measuring in the 60% range for length and 10% range for weight. He is getting to long for some of his newborn and 0-3 month clothing but is still plenty skinny enough to fit into them. We are going up to 3 month clothing for the length on some things. I think this will be a trend for the rest of his life, finding pants/outfits long enough for him. Here he is after his Doctors appointment sporting the cool band-aids the nurse gave him.
