Thumbs up

He's found his thumb. We're trying really hard to keep him from sucking it but there's only so much we can do. Here he is passed out in his swing, too cute. On a brighter note, he fell asleep around 9 last night and didn't wake me up again until 3. Keep your fingers crossed for me that we're turning a corner here!

Rooster tail

Jeff has quite the cowlick on the back of his head. It's actually in the same spot as Jason's. I tried to take a picture zoomed in but am not sure you can really tell how bad it sticks up. After he got out of the shower the other night, it looked like the entire back of his head was sticking straight up. Too funny.

2 month portraits

Our little man is proving to be quite photogenic. His hair sure does look red in these pictures!

1 month portraits

Exactly a month ago, someone came to our house to take pictures of Jeffrey for his 1 month portraits. We placed a monster order and they finally arrived today. I bought a CD with all of the images and picked some of our favorites to post. Of course, we took him last weekend to get 2 month portraits and we're picking those up tomorrow. I can't believe how different he looks now compared to just a month ago!

Future farmer

I love all of the tractor clothes that Gymboree has for sale a few months back. I made sure to buy some in all sizes so Jeff would have something to wear that had a farm theme. I can't believe that he's 2 months old already. He weighed 12 lbs 9.5 oz at his 2 month check up. We took him to meet our daycare lady yesterday and I started crying when I was there. I am so dreading October 11th but trying to enjoy each day between now and then. Life with him is so much better since we figured out that he had colic. If you know anyone in this boat as well, tell them about Gripe Water. It has been a life saver for us, you can get it at the drugstore.

Time out

Fonzie got in trouble for picking up a plum in the backyard and bringing it into the house and onto the couch to eat it. When he knew he was in trouble, he ran into the kennel. Duke was already in there though. This happens often when the Fonz is in trouble. I couldn't resist taking a picture. Notice that Duke looks like he's in trouble too even though he's not.

When Irish eyes are smiling....

It's amazing how much a smile can change your day....

A rough life

I had a doctor appt today. Jeffrey was doing great, had fallen asleep in the car but of course woke up when we got to the drs office. He got a little fussy and was fine when I was holding him. They took forever like always and I was trying to get out as we were getting close to feeding time. I ended up giving him a bottle in the car which soothed him for like 1 minute and I took off for home. I did the mom driving thing - one hand on the steering wheel, the other hand in the back seat holding the pacifier in his mouth. Eventually, there was silence and I let go. I got home and this is what I saw in the backseat. He held the pose until I got into the house and I could take a picture with the real camera. If you can't tell, the end of the pacifier is just barely in his mouth. Little man was out for the count, it didn't last long though.....I got the dr to help me measure his length, he's at 23 3/4 inches now. We tried a weight fake out with me holding him and the scale only went up 10 pounds, I know he has to weigh more than that. I guess we'll wait until the 10th at his dr appt for his actual weight!
