"Don't you just want to kiss all over me?"
Well, we just can't complain about this new little boy - he is just the sweetest and best little baby you could ever ask for... just like his big brother. He is so happy and content and just melts your heart.
He is sleeping pretty good through the night - he'll do a 6-hour stretch and then another 2-3 hours after that. He still loves being tucked/swaddled really tightly in the blankets and being really warm and cozy. And he still loves his "Sleep Sheep" ocean sounds and the vibrating motion of his bassinet. Funny story... we actually try to put him down to sleep while he's still awake so he'll learn to put himself to sleep - but on occasion he'll of course fall to sleep right after a bottle and be completely OUT and SOUND asleep... (or so you'd think). Then as soon as you place him gently in his bassinet those eyes open wide up and the arms and feet kick out straight! He's playing a trick on us.... he's not really asleep, just faking it! It's hilarious, Erick will just go "D'oh", you were totally asleep - NOT!
Another thing he does when he's falling asleep is just grin and grin... his eyes will start rolling back (freaks Dad out!) and he'll just pass out, mouth gaping open and everything! So full, and warm, and happy. Oh, what a rough life.
He's a great eater and moved up to 6 oz. bottles a couple of weeks ago. At his two month check-up he was 11 lbs. and 13 oz. What a big boy! He is doing really great... and is always a big hit at the doctor's office. We've got another "Ladies Man" on our hands! Hee hee!
Well, as you can see he is really smiling all the time now. And he is making the cutest little "coo" and "gaa" noises too. When he gets really happy he starts wiggling his hands and feet out in front of him and just starts kicking like crazy and clapping his fingers together. It's really cute - you'd have to see it. (And his brother used to do the same thing too, which makes it really special.) I tried to get a picture of it below.
He's also pretty hilarious when he's "finished" with his bottle. So, he'll just be drinking away like nobody's business and he'll just have this look on his face like, "this is the best bottle, EVER"... Then, of course, we'll stop to burp him and then start to feed him again... well, you'll put that "best ever" bottle to his mouth and he'll give you the most horrible face - like saying, "that is disgusting, why would you try to feed me that?" And that means he's done! Ha!
Things that make him smile... changing his diaper if you can believe it! I think he likes being naked - hee hee! He also loves it when you kiss all over him.... he'll open his mouth when you kiss his cheek just like he's trying to kiss you back. Oh, sweetness.
Okay, you all know that Erick and I love quoting movies and TV... so here's another. There was this skit on Saturday Night Live years ago when Chris Kataan was on... he played Anotonio Banderas... a "sexy" Spanish man. Anyway, he would start to unbutton his shirt and they would tell him, "No, Antonio", "It's too sexy, too sexy." So, now when we change Evan's outfit we like to tell him - "No, Evan - too sexy, too sexy". It gets a pretty big smile from him! Yep, he's stuck with us and our crazy shenanigans.
And I can't forget to say how much Preston is still adoring his baby brother. He helps me out so much and calls Evan his "sweet little Angel". Thanks big brother, Preston!
Love to All.
