John Hall is 2 Months!

John Hall turned two months on the 16th. Here are his stats from his appointment on the 18th:

• He weighed 13 lbs which put him in 85 percentile.
• His length measured 23 1/2 inches and that put him in the 55th percentile.
• His head circumference was 16 inches which is the 50th percetntile.

The doctor said he is growing just as he should and that he was beautiful! I wonder if he says that to all the parents...ha!

I tend to photograph him in just his diaper because the boy just loves to be naked! I will put him in his "pretty" clothes and he clams up for the camers! This, of course, drives me crazy but boys will be boys! I'm guessing this won't be the last photo session when he doesn't like the outfit I make him wear!


I have been putting him down for naps during the day in his crib and he sleeps so sound in there! I think he really loves his nursery. He loves to play and will talk and smile during playtime. He holds his head up pretty well lately and we decided to break out the jump-a-roo...this was a HUGE hit as far as JH was concerned. He loves being in this thing! He also loves to listen as we read books, talk, and sing to him.

He loves his baths and seems to enjoy when I rub in the baby magic on his little legs...I guess it's like a mini-massage for him;he is indeed a pampered little guy!

He's been such a good baby so far. People are always commenting on what an easy baby he is and how lucky we are...I sure hope he stays this way. Even if he doesn't, I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. We are so over the moon for him and think he's simply the most precious - 2 month old -baby we could have ever imagined!!!

Baby Face

Here are a few examples of how varied John Hall's expressions can be in one photo session...I sure love that little baby face!

Good Granny Goo-Goo!!!

We went to see Granny over the weekend so she could meet John Hall! As usual, I think she enjoyed seeing us as much as we did her! We were also very lucky to get to stop by (more like invade) my cousin, Erin's home to meet her new baby, Oliver! I felt sort of bad since they were in the middle of a dinner party, but insisted they didn't mind...We enjoyed seeing their new house and getting in a little visit with them while we were there!

Lovin' the Ladies!

John Hall saw my Dad's cousin, Melanie, and her daughter, Stephanie for the second time. They happened to be in town and we stopped by for a little visit before meeting my girlfriends for dinner. It was so nice to visit with them and I know JH liked all the lovin' he got from our very special relatives

He was the only boy who got to invade "girl's night!" The girls sure love my little John Hall!

But....mommy loves him the most!!!!

Happy (Early) Father's Day!

Since we'll be out of town, I wanted to go ahead and post this for Jason's first Father's Day!

Sleep Surrender

I was playing with John Hall this afternoon in his room, but had to run and get the phone and left him under his play gym....when I came back, this is what I found....a little guy who decided he was tuckered out! I had to get a picture of him sacked out with his "sleep is for the weak" onesie! What sweet sleep surrender!!!

Hitchcock House

We've had some strange bird action around our house lately...I wish I could capture it on a video, but these birds keep flying into our windows on the back of the house. They will keep bumping into the windows over and over and over again! It's seriously annoying and freaky! Jason informed me he found a bird who has hung himself in the gable on the front of our house! I suppose it is fitting considering I dressed up as "Melanie" from the Hitchcock film, The Birds, a couple of Halloween's ago...

Here is my Halloween costume...and a sample of another clean up project the birds in the backyard keep depositing on our deck!!!

This picture has nothing to do with the bird situation....Just thought I'd post a picture of my boys from today!

Sun Soaking Sons!

Today JH and I met up with our friends - Brandie & JT, Tonya & Cade...and Bella for an afternoon at Tonya's MIL's pool. Since we've all recently had babies, none of us really wanted to go to our club's pool, so being at a private pool was very nice!

The boys together in their monogramed swimming trunks! I can only imagine how much trouble these little guys will get into in the coming years!

John Hall stayed under the shade and slept pretty much the entire time we were there.

He hated the photo session before we left the house, but I hate to post this picture. He looks like he's imitating Ray Charles here!!!!

I should mention that I happened to capture Bella jumping off the diving board for the very first time! She was so excited and seemed so proud of herself! Way to go, Bella!!!
