Birthday Boy!

Seriously! How time flies. Our little boy turned 2 today (2 months that is) and I can't believe that not so long ago I was rubbing mommy's tummy wishing for him to be here, prepping toys and contraptions with batteries, and wondering how a cloth diaper was going to work. Now we are replacing batteries that have been worn out, washing cloth diapers regularly (and loving not having to buy regular ones every week), and rubbing Pax's tummy and head to soothe him to sleep.

We love him more than anything else and in 2 months we have seen him grow so much. The new developments are:

1. His intense interest in people rather than shiny objects. Don't get me wrong shiny objects are still near to his heart but I think looking at mom and dad is slowing becoming his favorite.

2. Pax loves to stick his tongue out. I know this might sound like a bad habit to teach him but it is one of his favorite ways to communicate with and play with us. We smile and stick our tongue out at him and he has been copying us. Yesterday, he stuck his tongue out at me real far to get my attention and it was the most adorable thing ever!

3. Bed time is now officially awesome. Every night we read 2 books, pray with him and lay him in his pack n' play. He loves it. He loves to coo along and move his arms as he watches the pictures. Then when we read/sing Snuggle Puppy* and he calms down and smiles and is ready for bed. So far (about a week and a half) he has never fought bed time, the next step is to make bed time last all night :)

*for those of you who don't know Snuggle Puppy, friend of ours introduced it to us and it is our favorite children's literature for infants. I would recommend it to any new born! No musical talent needed (aim and i are proof of that). If you are unfamiliar with it check it out today!
