2 Months

Drake is TWO months old today! I cannot believe how fast the time has gone. I feel like it was yesterday when I was waking up at 3:00 A.M. to head to the hospital..... I'll save that story for another time :) For my baby shower my friends did the coolest thing and made Drake a onesie for each month. What a great idea. They are unique and we get to document his monthly growth. They're the BEST. These are pictures I took of him today.

Spitting up a little...it happens

This morning was great! We woke up and met our neighbors at The Breakfast Place (yes, that's actually the name of the restaurant) to have some home cooked breakfast! Our neighbors are breakfast connoisseurs. Every weekend they pick one day and go out for breakfast and the other Kim cooks a big breakfast. So, we knew we were in good hands. Today's going to be a busy day of laundry and packing for me, while Jamie and Drake spend the day watching the NCAA tournament and napping! We are headed to Dallas tomorrow for a little work/VACA. BeBe and Double D, my parents, are going to meet us there so we can spend some time together while Jamie works. And BONUS we have a FREE babysitter Monday night so Jamie and I can celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Yes, I know, SO much has happened in a YEAR. It'll be nice having extra hands to help with Drake. It's just Jamie and I in Houston and it's really hard for me to run errands and do things I used to do in 10 minutes. Getting him calm, in the car seat and in and out of the car just to drop off mail or run in someplace becomes an hour or two hour adventure. I know we'll probably never live anywhere where we have family, so I've got to learn to be independent and deal with it....but when I get a weekend with grandparents I'll take FULL advantage.

Drake has changed so much in appearance and skills even from a month ago. I can't wait to go to the doctor and see how much weight he's gained. Last time we went (he was sick so we went about 3 weeks ago) he weighed 10lbs 8oz, so I'm predicting he's gained about a pound. I'm not looking forward to his shots. I think it's going to be pretty traumatic for us both, which is why I'm making Jamie come with me.
Yesterday Drake held his head up for the first time. He's actually held it up before, but yesterday he could keep it up and look around. He's not a huge fan of his pacifier. He'll take it, but doesn't know how to keep it in his mouth and when he's done he forces it out and it goes flying across the floor. He's still not sleeping very much and waking up every 3 hours through the night to eat. I don't even remember what its like getting a full nights rest, but can't wait for that day to come He only takes about two naps a day. They last anywhere from 20min to 90min. I don't really know how to make him sleep longer or get him in a sleep routine. He kind of does what he wants right now. I should work on that.
When he's awake he's very aware of things around him. He knows Jamie and I and can follow us around the room with his eyes when we walk away. He loves to making cooing noises and smile..he does this A LOT. He's the happiest in the morning after he has a full tummy. It's my favorite part of the day too.

Well, let's hope Drake enjoys Dallas! Happy St. Patty's Day
