2 Months Old and Getting Big!

Archie is 2 months old and growing fast!  He seems to be growing out rather than up at the moment.  His hair is getting longer and he is getting another very blonde layer in.  He has started to laugh and giggle.  His arms and  legs are moving constantly.  He has started noticing other babies and is fascinated by them.  He has been sleeping 7 to 8 hours at night.  He sucks on his hands, grabs his knees, tries to roll, has a favorite blanket, and can sit in his bumbo chair (see photos below).  
Of course we think he is exceptional, but who wouldn't really?! :)

Well hello!

Reading time with Daddy

I have at least 2 chins.

He loves to go for walks.

It was hot and we had some time outside in the yard.

Look at those blue eyes!

Couch time!

Summer is here!

Archie is 10 weeks old today!  On his last appointment last week (2 month) he measured 23 1/2 inches long and 12 lbs.  He is a long baby and gaining weight well.  He has "found" his hands and starting to put them in his mouth.  His hair is still long and growing every day.

 

Archie turned 8 weeks yesterday!  He is smiling, laughing, and cooing more every day and growing a lot.  He has rolls beginning to form on his thighs.  His hair is longer and longer.  More blonde is growing in.  He has his 2 month check up on Monday where we will learn how big he has really grown.

Waving hello!

Smiling and kicking and waving

More stretching as usual

All swaddled for naptime with Daddy 

Hanging out with his Ugly Buddy

We have had the Dalleys with us (Campbell's sister Jane and her husband Paul and kids Eve, Theodore, and Greta) for the last 2 weeks.  We went on an adventure to Hood River Last weekend.  It was a great time away and beautiful location.  It was also our first road trip as a family.

Summer has finally arrived and the flowers are blooming.  Campbell has planted his garden made some new planting beds.  The wisteria is growing nicely on the back deck.

5 Weeks!

Archie is now 5 weeks old.  He had his first visti from Grandpa Fred and Grandma Jane on Mother's Day Weekend.  He had a fun time meeting his grandparents and getting spoiled (of course).


in the last week he smiled twice and has started making lots of new noises.  His hair is getting longer....not falling out!  He has a bit of a mullet in the back but it is a cute one. :)

Big Yawn!

Week 3

Archie will be 3 weeks tomorrow.  He has gained 19 oz in 2 weeks and grew 1 1/2 inches in length.  He is growing out of his "newborn" clothes and moving on to 0-3 months.  He is getting chubbier cheeks and thicker legs and arms.

Campbell gave him a hairstyle after a bath.  He called it his "Elvis" look.  The next day his hair was still spiked and looked very cute.  He doesn't look too impressed with it in this photo.

A hint of a smile!
