Braxxton is 2 months old!

I love to eat, sleep and smile. On a typical night I sleep 5-7 hours at a time (although last night I slept 9!!!) and take several naps throughout the day. I hardly every cry, just grunt when I want something. Lately I have been eating every 2-3 hours except during the night. I love to read books, play with my play gym, be sung to and drool. I wear size 1 diapers (with some cloth mixed in) and 0-3 month clothes (although some are getting a little snug). I am very laid back and a pretty amazing baby.

At my 2 month appointment I weighed 13 lbs. 13 oz. and 24 1/4 inches long, both in the 90th percentile. I had to get 2 shots and really screamed for the first time. :(

11 years

“Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
- President George W. Bush, December 11, 2001

I'm sure we can all remember where we were 11 years ago on September 11th. I was a freshman at USF and had just gotten to class when they said it was canceled. I went back to my dorm and of course went back to bed. My roommate woke me up and for the rest of the day we watched the reports on TV. I knew it was a big deal, but it wasn't until years later that I really understood exactly the impact of that day. Now I am completely fascinated by it all. For the past couple of years on September 11, I watch pretty much every single documentary that is on. Josh calls me a nerd, but I can't get enough of it. My heart breaks for all the people involved, but the stories of people risking their lives to save other people, mostly strangers, makes me proud to live in this country.

It's baaaack!

The pumpkin spice latte, that is. I am completely in love with fall: pumpkin anything, the cooler weather, jeans and sweatshirts, Pumpkinland, football, and of course the pumpkin spice latte. I'd have one every day if I could. I love that fall means Thanksgiving & Christmas are coming soon and can't wait to make fun holiday memories with Braxxton.

Brax will be 2 months this weekend and is changing so much! Last night he slept for 7 hours straight, woke up to eat and then slept for 3 more hours. Yessss! He also decided he likes to suck his wrist when he's tired, enough to leave a little mark. :)
Hopefully I'll get on here next week to update with 2 month pictures and his stats from the doctor... Considering I just typed this whole post with one hand, we'll see, :)

Here are some recent pics...

love this boy!
