Lovin' Me Some London...Picture Overload

Wish I had a clever caption for this picture of an over-eager father and frightened son.

He loves bath time.

Sunday night. He loves church and smiles tons in sacrament meeting.

Scott and London...the day before Scott's First Father's Day

So much attitude

These cheeks and lips kill me...

He's such a happy little guy.

2 Months Old

This little guy is two months old. It's crazy how big he has gotten.Yesterday was his two month check up with the pediatrician. In two months, he has almost doubled his birth weight!

2 Month Stats:

Weighs12 lbs 7 oz. ~ 50th percentile
23.75" long ~ 75th percentile

He is so big that the 2 month onesie that my friend let me borrow doesn't fit! In fact, he is growing out of his 0-3 month clothes. Give it a week or so and I'll be packing those up and pulling out the 3-6 month clothes. I'm so glad he's healthy and growing!

Trying on the 2 month onesie. No bueno.

A Couple Firsts

First Haircut (5 weeks old)

I couldn't stand the monk look anymore, so we buzzed the back and sides.

Before

After. It still looks a little monkish, but that was mostly just the lighting

First Road-trip (6 Weeks Old)

We traveled to good ol' Lucerne Valley, California

 for an anniversary party for my grandparents 

and graduation party for my cousin. 

It was a lot of fun and London did great! 

He traveled well and handled the crowds well too.

Favs

1. Three-day weekends with Scott.
2. Family shopping trips. I can't wait until we can take London to the zoo or museums or theme parks, but for now, shopping trips with Scott and London are the closest to it. Shopping trips are the highlights of my week. Especially, when Scott's the one who suggests we go. Like yesterday, when he suggested we head out to San Tan Mall. I know, Scott suggesting that we go shopping...it's surreal.
3. Waking up at 2 am to find Scott feeding London so that I could sleep through the night. Sweetest thing ever.

Happy Things, Part II

1. Roses from Scott for Mother's Day. I am a mother now. Weird. And amazing. I pushed a baby out of my body and now I spend all day and night taking care of him. It is the hardest thing I have ever done and I have way more respect for all mother's now and for the work they do. And I used to think all these stay-at-home moms were just chillin'... Reality check. The life of a mother is hard work! I'm so grateful for my mom for all she went through to give me life and to raise me. And so grateful for Scott's mom for raising him to be such a sweet boy and good husband.

2. Getting to talk to my favorite sister missionary who is all the way in London, England, via Skype on Mother's Day.

3. London only woke up once last night!!!!! He went to bed at 10 pm, woke up at 1 am to eat and then didn't wake up until we usually do-around 5 am. It was AMAZING!  I feel like a whole new person!  Sometimes, when he wakes up a lot at night, I feel like I am in a torture chamber and they are using sleep deprivation as a way to make me insane. Even two straight hours of sleep is a rare miracle these days.  So last night's 4.5 hours of sleep combined, was a huge blessing!  I feel semi-sane today.

4. London laughing for the first time today. He smiled in his sleep and then started laughing in his sleep. It was so cute, that I started laughing and then he did it again! Made my day! So cute.

5. George Costanza hair...mostly bald on top, nice ring of hair around the sides and back.

6. Catching this babe's smile on video. Love it.

2/Infinity

Today is our second anniversary. It's been two great years of lovin' and we've got a cute baby to show for it. I'm so glad I chose Scott. He has helped me achieve so many things and has helped me to push myself and do more than I thought I could. He is the best husband and is so good to me. I am so in love with him.

One Month Old

Yesterday London turned one month old. He is starting to look a little bigger each day. His skinny bird legs have acquired tiny rolls of fat and it looks like his face and neck have also gained some weight. I love fat babies and wouldn't mind if he becomes one. He is so cute. A few times a day, he will be very alert and fairly interactive. He loves being sung to and will give us big wide-mouthed smiles when we sing to him and also smiles sometimes when I laugh. He loves my attention. The other day, I cradled him in my arms while I made pancake batter and explained the whole process to him. He loved it and looked at me with genuine interest and gave me a few big smiles. I love this little guy.

One of his newborn pics taken a couple weeks ago. See, he is chubbier now.
