For all you new moms out there (if any of you read this) I have to tell you about the most AMAZING thing ever!!!! 

I have done nothing but hold my son for his 2 months of life through naps, sleep, just about all day besides when we play on the floor... this has made doing things like eat lunch, pump, clean, shower very, very hard... I have tried swings, car seat, bouncers that vibrate, nothing has soothed my baby enough so that i could do these things, until i discovered the graco sweetpeace soothing center!!!! (click the words to see it) Not only did I get to eat this morning, I pumped, did laundry, folded and put it away all without disturbing my baby boy!! He loves the sound of the running water and you can change the rocking positions so easily! it is amazing!!!!!

my 2 month old!


sweet owen, yesterday you turned 2 months old! You are such a sweet boy and you have such a sweet personality! Your smile is the most beautiful sight!!! This morning you were up after 3 hours of sleep, but you were the most happy boy, you laid in between Daddy and I and you just kept smiling and looking back and forth at us, daddy told you stories about when he went on tour and you fell right to sleep, youre so amazing and precious! You weigh 11 pounds and I cant wait to see how much longer you are, when we went to the doctor whn you were 5 weeks you were 21 and a half inches!!!!! Last week you were sick and had to get blood drawn, I think I cried harder than you! We went on vacation to Hilton Head, you were so fantastic in the car on the way there, you slept and held on to your bunny that your Oma got you... you loved when Aunt Pam held you and took you outside! You loved sitting by the pool!!! I can't wait to see if you like it when we go back in 2 weeks! You are smiling and cooing! You looooove to dance around the living room to the cure, if you are ever upset that calms you down... you also have the same music taste as daddy, in the car you calm down at the sound of grizzly bear, the sea and cake and suftjan stevens... right now you are making me so proud, but sad, you are becoming independant, even being such a little boy you know what you want... you slept in my arms for the first 7 weeks of your life, now you stretch and grunt until I lay you down, but you still like to be lying next to me... as we speak youre lying in your swing so peaceful and precious! You are quite the cuddler though when youre being held. You love the outside, you lovelooking around at all the trees and the sky, if youre crying and we take you out there you stop immediately. You are OBSESSED with the pictures behind our sofa, last night you were so tired so I told your dad to take them down because you would close your eyes but then wake back up to stare at them, when he took them down you looked so prplexed and sad, so I made him put them back up! You will stare and stare and stare at those pictures whenever we are on the couch, it makes me kinda jealous! You are the sweetest, most precious, wonderful son anyone could ask for, and I love you so much, happy 2 month birthday!
