Andrew is 2 months old!

Today Andrew had his 2 month checkup- he did great, but what was I thinking taking all 3 of them?? Daniel was trying to escape from the exam room every chance he could get, Nathan was teasing him, and Andrew was quite the trooper grinning intermittently before his shots. Granted, I did want to take Nathan; he got 2 plantar warts frozen while we were there. So, next time I hope Daniel is a little easier because I scheduled his 2 year check up and Andrew's 4 month for the same morning!

Andrew stats:
height- 23.6 in. (75th percentile)
head- 15.9 in (6oth percentile)
weight- 14.6 lbs (95th percentile)

Nice and chubby- very cute and starting to smile for us. He really likes watching his little springy alligator we hung by his changing table. Its fun to see him learning and starting to react more to what is around him. Nathan and Daniel both like to give him lots of attention. He is doing better at night- only up once usually to eat. I think we are going to start working on training him to sleep for an 8 hr. stretch- he is officially big enough to be able to do it ! Yeah!

Daniel is really trying to keep us on his toes- he has figured out how to open our gate ( sanity really) and thinks he has free rein of the house. I am thinking about child locks everywhere, but also wonder how long before he figures out how to open those too? He is loving the basketball hoop out back and likes to go do "hoops." He is talking all the time now and is VERY curious. Any tips for getting a 2 year old to listen?? I just have to take lots of deep breaths and remember how much I love him and how quickly he will go through this stage!

Nathan is doing swimming lessons and is doing really well. He even jumped off the diving board- I will have to get pics of him. His cousin is in his class and he is always excited to go. He is getting to be such a good helper. I am enjoying afternoon nap time with him when the other 2 are sleeping. We get to have playmobile battles and play lego star wars- both things he loves to do when Daniel is sleeping!

Scott is a pro dad and wonderful husband- working hard at work and doing so much at home playing with the boys and helping me with projects in the evenings as we get settled in our new house. We are loving our house- it is fun to put things away and organize and decorate. The yard is all fenced in and is fun for the boys to run around in. We've got lots of ideas of what we want to plant eventually, trees mainly as there aren't any in the back. We don't understand why a house 10 years old never got trees planted in the back yard?

Here are some pictures- they are a little out of order, but enjoy!
Our kitchen- Scott put the cupboard handles on for us- I LOVE them and built a shelf on top of the cupboards so I could put cute stuff on top!

Afternoon picture session--

I love how happy Andrew is in this picture!

Our 3 boys- I think this might go in a frame we have that says, "Once in while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, Loves hands us a fairy tale." I love the happy smiles on their faces!

Andrew hanging out- he doesn't mind the bouncy chair, but the swing is definitely his favorite.

Helping dad with the installation of the cupboard handles. Daniel lost interest pretty quick, but Nathan hung around for awhile.

Andrew smiling while they were doing the handles!

Isn't he cute?

"Daniel, smile!" And this is what he does.

Nathan and Scott went mini-golfing on Memorial day. I think he had a fun time. He didn't want to keep score though. He came home and his card had stars next to the holes that he did under par or par I think it was.
