Walt turned two months old last Saturday! I have to say that I've fully welcomed him getting just a little bit older. He's really made a good turn around in the past week as he's reached the two month mark. He's been napping better and letting me rock him to sleep in the glider vs. the sling, and he gives me a 5 hour stretch of sleep most nights. A couple of weeks ago it took a lot of physical effort on my part to get him to sleep, so the change has been nice. He's also been cooing and smiling a lot and he bats as hanging toys.
He's getting to be so fun to interact with! He still gets swaddled, falls asleep to white noise, and sleeps in the swing, but it's all become so much easier. We're just growing up together :o) I can hardly remember life before two kids now, when just a couple of weeks ago I wondered how any one woman feels capable enough to ever have more than one child!
He had his two month check up on Monday and was quite the charmer. He was so sweet and just cooed and smiled for both the nurse and the doctor. The doctor proclaimed him "perfect" and I'm very happy that I have such a healthy child. He weighed in at 13 lbs. 12 oz. (1.5 lbs. heavier than Lila was at 2 mos.) and is 23.25" long. He had his first round of vaccinations and took them like a champ. He cried a bit, but not as much as his sister did! Lila was so sad that the nurse was giving him shots and making him cry. It was so sweet that she was so concerned for her brother. She's a good sister.
Here's a few pics of my guy at 2 months old:
The following pictures were my attempt at refining my "skills" with the camera. I have a long way to go, and after 100+ pics, these were the only ones I thought were decent. Hopefully I can get better at figuring out what settings will capture the perfect shot, but for now this is the best I can do!

The ugly light over the dining table does make for a good "mobile."
Happy.

Isn't he adorably chubby?
I tried my best to get some good light, so here you can see I was using a long mirror to reflect some more light into the room.
Here I needed to change the depth of field so both his eyes would have been in focus. So much to learn!
He's lovely though, isn't he? :o)
P.S. I know vaccinations are a hot topic right now and have been for a little while now. After doing my own research and taking an epidemiology class this past winter, I'm convinced of the efficacy, safety, and importance of vaccinations. And I'm ok with you, whether your a friend or family member, having a different idea about it :o)
